Science Fiction writer promoted to professor in philosophy makes him a crackpot in my book. Let's be honest.

What are thinking of here? I see no mention of science fiction on his wikipedia article and a long history of academia.

I hate typing strings of syntax. So boring. Never saw the appeal. I do like tinkering with ideas, concepts, structure... just not the mechanical interaction part. Im not tbe best typist...then again, its the same with playing factorio. I love the concept of building structures, but fighting the UI to communicate my ideas is such a drag...

There are other ways to protect code assets than through Copyright.

Because typing in text and syntax is now becoming irrelevant and mostly taken care of by language models. Computational thinking and sematics on the other hand will remain essential in the craft and always have been.

Looking forward! The C course is great!

Appreciated :)

LLMs translate specs into code, if you master conputational thinking like Antirez, you basically reduce LLMs to intelligent translators of the stated computational ideas and specifications into a(ny) formal language + the typing. In that scenario LLMs are a great tool and speedup the coding process. I like how the power is in semantics, whereas syntax becomes more and more a detail (and rightfully so)!

I hope they try.

The man is a savant. He knows.

Since GoL is Turing Complete,is such an inconstructable pattern an example of godels incompleteness theorem? I feel like I must be confusing some things here.

Aah, but construction in GoL is not limited to gliders...still.

Not wrong. But i don't share your concerns at all. I like sharing code and if people, and who knows, machines, can make use of it and provide some value however minute, that makes me content.
