Assistance killed the programming star?
Although I guess (hope) this won't be the death of Jetbrains.
They've been taking it on the chin for a bit though. VS seems to slowly add some of the best ReSharper stuff.
Recently I started asking myself whether I can chuck it.
It definitely slows down VS, but better hardware would probably crush that. Plus, I do really like most everything about it. However, if you are trying to keep towards the cutting edge then you find it the culprit for breaking things.
That's maybe totally reasonable. I don't envy them the task of keeping such a tool apace with VS/C# updates. But even if they do, it's still a bit of a pain to keep it updated and even then to still occasionally figure out that it is what is crashing the tucked away bits of VS.

If these "AI" assistants were actually good at what they do, e.g. "I see that you are writing code with O(N^2) performance, do you want to replace it with code with O(N*lgN) performance", then I can see the utility. Replacing my preferred tiny snippet with theirs simply doesn't do it for me.
Having said that, some of these tools can catch performance errors in snippets (e.g. passing by value instead of const reference) which can be very useful, especially when dealing with templated code.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The company will be able to fix the issue via an over-the-air update. Now get them to talk to the people that put warnings on pill bottles

Congress really needs to update the terminology the NHTSA can use. Limit recalls to physical recalls and give us a new term for software updates done over the air.

Agreed. Compare this with the recent Toyota "Don't drive - car can kill you" recall. This is just a mandatory update notice.

Whoa, really?
I don't suppose it's Toyota's fault (so much as it was one of their dealerships) but they lost what would've been a lifetime customer in me.
The dealer cold-shouldered me after a total engine loss on an engine that was a mere couple months outside of a recall for engines seizing. It was pretty obviously the same issue, I know did maintenance, regular oil changes and all that. Always thought of them as a brand that lasts before that.

I can't recall any car I've owned which had text on any of the indicators! They just used an icon.
I suppose it's related to the US fixation of having text on signs. For example, Euro sign for no entry is a red circle with a white bar, no reading needed; US is a red rectangle with then words "WRONG WAY" in white.

How many different languages would they have to have on the sign if they used words?

The study’s findings seemed to show that GPT-4 gave participants some advantage over the regular internet when it came to tasks related to bioweapons. I feel so much better now

'Small' is just a matter of semantics... And AI engines don't seem to do well with semantics...

Quote: there’s only a small chance ChatGPT will help create bioweapons
The probability of something bad happening, where ethicless people probably is involved, increases inverselly proportional (probably even exponentially) to the chance that the owners see on its happening.

Microsoft is already preparing the next big update for Windows 11 for the end of 2024, codenamed “Hudson Valley”, with a bigger focus on AI. But is it the last update to the last version of Windows?

No, the last update to the last version of Windows was Windows 10 v22H2.
