I think you are slightly missing the mark of the historical reference.

What you say is true for modernized budō disciplines. They have very different purposes.

But this this is not what Musashi was concerned with. He was practicing kenjutsu (not kendo) / writing about hyōhō.

The primary criterion was absolutely murdering people as efficiently as possible in a life and death situation.

"The true Way of sword fencing is the craft of defeating the enemy in a fight, and nothing other than this"

That's overly dramatic.

At this point, the assumption would be that they are a non-party witness.

So, beyond not destroying any potential evidence, you might as well tell them to shove it.

It is not overly dramatic to suggest getting a letter like this is INCREDIBLY scary.

Seems kinds dramatic. Legal holds are common in my industry, not really a big deal. Most of my senior colleagues have been deposed or testified. Stressful but shouldn't be scary unless you did something criminal

It's not scary. I received one of these letters for the DOJ vs Microsoft trial while working at Netscape and it was less scary opening it than the email from my cube mate titled "you won't believe it."

The lawyers told us ahead of time we'd be getting the letters. They told us what we needed to preserve and what we could comfortably trash. There was never any follow-up or specific requests for what I had on my machines. That was that.

The idea that getting a legal request is scary is silly. We were employees getting employee guidance from our employer on what to do at every step of the way. We weren't individuals fending for ourselves, wondering about getting something wrong, being taken in for questioning. We were doing what we always do, work hard and listen to the company lawyers if they have something to say.

Maybe I’m just too anxious an individual. But also, I imagine the lawyers prepping helped.

Interesting to hear your perspective on this as someone who went through it!

By that measure, most software developers should be unemployed.

Last time I head of them, Bosch was planning to cut 13000 jobs in Germany.

Well, the National People's Congress / CCP define and frame that practically for you.

It's not like 1.4 billion Chinese have much say in that.

If I am wrong, please remind me again how much say Chinese people had on the escape hatches of Article 51 in your constitution.

I guess Alex Pretti and Renee Good didn't get much say in whether they should be killed by the US federal government.

Let me remind you that none of their killers wearing US federal agency uniforms have been charged. I thought their rights were covered by their constitution, that was a mistake.

Both of those killings sparked protests, and are subject to ongoing investigations and lawsuits.

Platformio is not simple by any means. That few .ini files generate a whole bunch of python, and this again relies on scons as build system.

That's a nice experience as long as you stay within predefined, simple abstractions that somebody else provided. But it is very much a scripted build system, you just don't see it for trivial cases.

For customizations, let alone a new platform, you will end up writing python scripts, and digging through the 200 pages documentation when things go wrong.

Are you ignoring the codex desktop app on purpose? Or the integrations?

Those use cases are already actively implemented, or being implemented in current software. The 5-10 year estimate is wildly wrong.

You do not need a plugin anymore.

People are accountable for the results they produce using AI. So a scientist is responsible for made up sources in their paper, which is plain fraud.

"responsible for made up sources" leads to the hilarious idea that if you cite a paper that doesn't exist, you're now obliged to write that paper (getting it retroactively published might be a challenge though)

I completely agree. But “disclosing the use of AI” doesn’t solve that one bit.

I don’t disclose what keyboard I use to write my code or if I applied spellcheck afterward. The result is 100% theirs.
