It's honestly hilarious since the person you're replying to has heavily advocated Manifold which is a compiler extension to Java that adds every little feature to the language.

Everyone’s pretending the suits are going to want to do the prompting. We all know they aren’t.

Suits in agriculture don't drive the combine either, a farmer does. The other 99% of pre-automation farmers went on to other jobs. They happened to be better jobs than farming, but that's not necessarily always the case.

Advanced RTK based positioning systems have been in Ag for a long time now, so increasingly the farmer doesnt drive either


The suits won't prompt, the model will.

Sounds like the mythical agi I keep hearing about.

It's models all the way down.

Didn’t they ban issues generated by ai?

No, they stopped paying bounties.

Did anyone ever expect anything different from modern tech companies? This will only ever get more expensive and worse in quality.

They’re not experts.

Sensitive but uninformed. Expert is a common AI concept, going back for decades. It wasn’t invented with LLM.

That’s totally what they were talking about.

What do you mean, my prompts specifically ask for a phd level expert in every field?

\s


"Expertise" is a completely different beast from "knowledge".

Expecting to gain it from a model only through prompting is similar to expecting to become capable of something only because you bought a book on the topic.


This was sarcasm, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

They’re all Oracle’s version. OpenJdk is Oracle’s implementation of the JLS. They’re just not using Oracle’s build of OpenJdk.

Almost all.

Embedded folks with real time offerings like PTC, Aicas, microEJ,.... have their own implementations, with real time support, bare metal deployments.

Folks like IBM and Azul nowadays take parts of OpenJDK, mostly standard library, and add their own runtimes instead.


Lots of green field apps are Java based too. I just started a new codebase in Java 25.

HotSpot also has lots of things to speed up start time. Project Leyden has made a lot of advancements. AOTCache and crac etc.

That whole “feature” is vile.

How so? Good bit of my global claude.md is dedicated to fighting the incessant attribution in git commits. It is on the same level as the "sent from my iphone" signature - I'm not okay with my commits being advertising board for anthropic.

Entity framework is pretty good.
