SO is officially dead according to the graph of number of questions posted per month.
Google+SO was my LLM between 2007-2015. Then the site got saturated. All questions were answered. Git, C# Python, SQL, C++, Ruby, PHP, most popular topics got "solved". The site reached singularity. That is when they should have frozen it as the encyclopedia of software.
Then duplicates, one-offs, homeworks started to destroy it. I think earth society collectively got dumber and entitled. Decline of research and intelligence put into online questions is a good measure of this.
I use Claude to generate C++ 23, it usually performs well. It takes a bit of nudging to avoid repeating itself, reusing existing functionality, not altering huge portions without running tests, etc. But generally it is helpful and knows what to do.
EU fines of up to 100s of millions of USD haven't stopped these companies from operating overseas. It is unlikely that they would exit a trillion dollar market because of some self-imposed security laws. Rather the opposite, the hardware would have to be free of whatever invasive security measure there is if EU wanted it. But they are rather xenophobic, so the incentives align.

That's not what sanctions mean. When the US imposes sanctions on $COUNTRY, US businesses are not able to do business or any type, including charity, with the target country.
The companies would choose to operate in the EU if they could.
The US government is throwing its weight around, appeares to be preparing to illegally annex bits of non-EU land in an EU member state, to sow propaganda to fracture the EU itself, and has already sanctioned EU judges for doing their jobs when their job is against US interests.
Non-zero chance they will not have any choice in this. Gut feeling says we're still a long way short of 50:50, but it's just gut feeling.
Why are you comparing US companies to EU judges? To me it seems like private business in the US is much more involved in the legislative than the judicative branch.
A judge making a ruling to listen to a case, issuing arrest warrants so those cases can proceed (arrest does not mean proven guilty!), is not supposed to be a valid target.
The equivalent here would be if that American judge was sanctioned by the EU for issuing the arrest warrant for Maduro. Or would be, if Venezuela was an ally of the EU.
That Maduro was a head of state and still subject to an extraordinary rendition means that now the EU has to worry about EU heads of state being violently extradited to the USA. Not because anyone in the EU cares about Maduro himself, but because the US has signalled by doing this that they don't care about the old rules.
Sanctioning is now the same as complaining, apparently.
Someone is concerned about the US personally sanctioning EU judges, you make some false equivalence about EU sanctioning US companies, and then again about EU citizens complaining about US judges.
Is this all you do? It's not helping whatever case you have.
Yes, Rust boilerplate is LLM worthy work. It was never meant for humans. The ergonomics component is absent.
Unfortunately, there will be more tokens and context wasted as the LLM struggles with appeasing the compiler.
Example: say a function had two string view args which are bound to a single lifetime because both args at call site had the same scope. Now you have another call site where the args have different scope. Whoops, let me fix that, blah blah.
Arch, btw, is notoriously unstable. Back in 2012 I caught them enabling experimental kernel memory paging modules. Soon after my system got bricked. Maybe you want fedora or rocky.
> Any decent IDE can do that refactoring instantly.
The refactoring? Sure. But IDEs don't read your code and logically categorize it into folders. From what I understand, they are saying that they outsourced the thinking part as well.
The future of IT is going back to basics. People who know their karnough diagrams, their algorithm flow charts, memory models, state machines, algorithms, their sql CTEs, window functions, their obscure cpu/gpu instructions, people who can build a VM and a language on top from ground up will become even more valuable, because they can drive LLMs more effectively.
Your run of the mill bootcamp webdev/data scientists will have to educate themselves or find manual jobs.
Doesn't lost plugins anymore. I'm sure I installed playwright using that menu, but now it lists no plugins (and the plugin can't be found locally)
However, claude add mcp and /mcp still works.
