I run a lot of Linux on my macbook pro m1, in parallels if i want a desktop, in docker or podman if i don't need a desktop. I prefer linux on my macbook to my previous Thinkpad (p1 gen2, 64gb, 2tb, 4k oled, core 9i). The thinkpad feels less solid, battery life is horrible, keyboard of the thinkpad is surprisingly bad.

Typing on a Mac is also subpar: I use one mechanical keyboard that can easily switch between Mac and iPad. Same typing experience on both.

I think Oracle PlSQL was also based on Ada, basically Ada + SQL embedded. So it may be the widest used version of "Ada".

Pretty much [close enough for government work]; see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7764656/who-is-diana-and...

Wow, that’s a factoid I’d love to learn more about!

That is because they know the users. Users are very sensitive to this: if the outside wasn't changed then the internals cannot be much improved. You see this with cars, cars need a new design otherwise customer will think nothing much changed. Customer will usually buy newer over better because they think newer must have improvements, and styling signals new. Same with computers, all the disappointments when apple releases a new macbook without changing the exterior....

Generating software still token costs, generating something like ms-word will still cost a significant amount, takes a lot of human effort to prompt and validate. Having a proven solution still has value.

You can already generate surprisingly complex software on an LLM on a raspberry pi now, including live voice assistance, all offline. Peoples hardware can self write software pretty readily now. The cost of tokens is a race to zero.

That is not what i'm seeing. I've been coding intensively with claude code for the last 3 months: 200k lines of go, 1200+ commits, mostly using opus. I don't think i could have done this with a local LLM. Maybe on a M5 pro?

Qwen 3.5 122b is competitive with Opus 4.6, and runs at 35t/s on a Strix Halo. It is my daily driver.

Unlike Opus I can run abliterated models with censorship removed so it can be used for security research and reverse engineering and whatever I want with privacy, offline.

It makes any hosted models feel like a kids toy.

Same here, not a flat but rely on street parking. There's at least 20 public charging points in walking distance of my home.

What is the claude linked repo with the highest number of stars?

Wouldn’t skills already solve this? A harness can start a new agent with a specific skill if it thinks that makes sense.

Assume you work for e.g., a cigarette company. A company responsible for many deaths by unethically adding highly addictive substances. By sabotaging the company you are making this world a better place. Ethically it's the right thing to do.

Or, assume you're hired by the Nazi to work in concentration camps. Ethically it's the right thing to do to sabotage their gas chambers.

I'm currently a product manager (was a software engineer and technical architect before), so i already lost the feeling of ownership of code. But just like when you're doing product management with a team of software engineers, testers, and UXers, with AI you can still feel ownership of the feature or capability you're shipping. So from my perspective, nothing changes regarding ownership.

> So from my perspective, nothing changes regarding ownership.

The engineer who worked with you took ownership of the code! Have you forgotten this?

No, that’s why I wrote “from my perspective”. I started long ago writing 6502 and 68000 assembly, later c and even later Java. Every step you lose ownership of the underlying layer. This is just another step. “But it’s non deterministic!”, yes so are developers. We need QA regardless who or what write the lines of code.
