I think all of you folks who think AI is coming for coders' jobs underestimate the extent to which the greatest problems in programming and computer science come from the fact that one of the most fundamentally hard things is actually specifying the problem to begin with.

I've had to reverse engineer and try to magically interpret people's terrible/non-existent requirements because THEY didn't understand the problem they wanted solved for more of my career than anything else, and AI can only work from its priors.

If you can't define the problem, you can't get AI to try and predict a solution for it.

This list of pitfalls for journalists to avoid in reporting on artificial intelligence is broadly applicable to emerging tech in general. Useful to anyone who wishes to spread insight instead marketing snake oil. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/eighteen-pitfalls-to-beware-of-in

Rendering #PDF documents:

– #LaTeX still seems to be the best free option: It generates TOCs, indices, etc. It optimizes page breaks by moving figures. Etc.

– I convert Markdown to LaTeX to PDF (via Pandoc) and it works really well. To customize the results, you have to know *some* LaTeX but not much: I mostly web-search & paste.

– LaTeX engine I discovered today: https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/

– There are a few CSS-based engines but no free options that come close to LaTeX(?)
