But yes, people generally do not review and comment on compiled code. If your source is written by AI, why is it a surprise people might be hesitant to spend their time reviewing what it produced?
In a similar vein, to drive a black taxi in London you have to pass The Knowledge of London exam which requires becoming a human routing database for over twenty thousand streets and landmarks.
I can't see the issue of being lazy, and laziness becoming more productive than liability in these times we have AIs, most lazy people find better shortcuts and better ways to make things that other cannot find due to overly being filled with the need to be more productive than lazy and your brain capacity will get overloaded. Sometimes AI also can be an assistive tool for disabled people, and make even them Productive people, so calling it "lazy", over exaggerated.
> ADB would be unaffected, and any power users who needed to install an app straight away could always connect their Android device to a computer and use ADB commands to manually install - no delay at all.
So in practice this won't be an issue for anyone tech-savvy who uses their Android device with apps outside of the Play Store, as they can simply install through the ADB mechanism via a separate device. It can even be done using WebUSB.
However, the many, many people worldwide who lack such technical knowledge, and are more susceptible to being scammed via malicious app installs because of it, are still protected by this new process Google are introducing.
So wait if solid state is too expensive? What replaces lithium ion batteries? What breakthrough do you expect in solid state to make it cheaper in 2028?
I do think that the Baltics are Russia’s next target IF they ever conquer Ukraine. So far this is not happening. And just because NATO will not be there does not mean Russia will be able to conquer the Baltics. Baltics by themselves may be able to check Russia’s armed forces. Also Germany has a vested interest in keeping the Russians out of the Baltics as well -nobody wants Russia to be their neighbor.
What you wrote would make sense if Russian army would not be so woefully incompetent. Every day more Russians die in the Ukraine is a good day for European security.
Ultimately it's still the same thing - problem solving in specific domains.
Languages and frameworks and libraries and IDEs and agent systems are all - in the end - just some new tooling, they were always the lower-hanging fruit. Cool, fancy, do novel magic, open paths previously unknown or thought impractical or unrealistic, but still - it's just some new ideas and instruments and ways how to use those efficiently - all to write programs that match our needs and fulfill our expectations, making things happen.
Nothing about underlying principles of software engineering had changed - some methods became more feasible, ML got really hot (and very rightfully so), but overall software projects are still software projects. Just recently I've looked at some machine-assisted software development courses and it was just the same good old "use your head, try your best to do things right or bad things happen, and here are the important gotchas of the day that you're best to constantly stay mindful about" material, just with "the machine can very rapidly produce code now, but it's not your code until you comprehend it" flavor, followed with a showcase of capabilities and features of newest tools on the market.
In my understanding, the eternal hustle still stays the same: find a passion, get into something, keep up with others, continuously learn new stuff, try to think something of your own and share, try to produce valuable things that others are willing to pay for, repeat until you can't anymore. Current state of "AI" doesn't disrupt this at all. Although it pushes the tempo up, and the times are stressful even without it.
It sends to OpenRouter if you chose to use OpenRouter. Can use Ollama. Idk how to get more local than that? Any tool will be non-local, when you do something explicitly non-local.
It is absolutely not impossible to transition away from fossil fuels without suffering.
Fossil fuels aren't risk-free. Even if you don't care about CO2, fossil fuels are extremely inefficient in the long run because they're not renewable. Once you extract them and burn them, they're gone, forever. This IS NOT the case with renewable energy, which means that, as time goes on, renewables will be much cheaper than fossil fuels. Already, today, solar is much cheaper than petroleum per unit of energy.
In addition, every country on Earth can make use of renewables. Most countries cannot use fossil fuels directly, because they don't have them. This means they expose themselves to geopolitical risk. Exhibit A: this.
If the transition is done slowly, you end up saving money, not losing it. That means less suffering, not more.
