It's worse than that:
> Me: Give me a small sample code in Ruby that takes two parameters and returns the Levenshtein distance between them.
> ChatGPT: <<Submits working Ruby code that is slow>> But here is some C# code that is faster. For tasks like this a lot of programmers are using C#, you wouldn't want to get left behind.
- neonsunset 2y agoFor now it's more likely to do the opposite. Communities like HN do seem to like fringe and questionable languages like Ruby a lot to their own detriment. And that is, naturally, a part of dataset.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoYeah, but then even open source models optimize for popular languages; I recall one explicitly mentioning being trained for ~top 16 or so languages in Stack Overflow developer survey. Good for my C++ dayjob, if I could use one of them; bad for my occasional after-work Lisping.
- Y_Y 2y agoI want the robot to write C++ for me, but I won't let it take my lisp.
- nonrandomstring 2y ago> you wouldn't want to get left behind. I realise more and more lately that actually, yes, I do want to be left behind. Please, please, leave me behind.
