   Not exactly what you’re saying, but a bit closer. With this library you set what css classes on the page are “hot”, it fetches the next page state and replaces that part of the page with the new state: https://github.com/rob

   Lol, I like that as a joke, but I wouldn’t think you are saying “a person who has no idea how something works” their opinion should be given equal weighting as someone who actually knows? Maybe you are - that seems to be how things work now

   I think that the tribalism is one sided. On one side you have people who know how to build deep nn saying one thing, and on the other there seems to be people who don’t even know what tanh is and are very sure of their “strong” opinions. Do

   The levels would be great. I’ve tried prompting general purpose LLMs to only use words at particular levels, but they pretty quickly diverge from the prompting guardrails. One might just need to building a custom model trained only on a lim

   I think this article misses the mark from the people in my circle. We don’t care about “clean code” (thats mostly just juniors yak shaving into a slow system anyway). We care about correct code -code that is solving the actual problem (as c

    I agree with the spirit of this, but I’d go one more step with the example: export function clamp(value: number, min: number, max: number): number { return } That is just adding an extra jump and entry on the callstack where you could ju

    > LLMs are PhD-level reasoners in math and science, yet they fail at children's puzzles. How is this possible? Because they are not. Pattern matching questions on a contrived test is not the same thing as understanding or reasoning.

    If the author is around here, I think there is an error in the Equations section. In the Convex Circle equation I think it has an extra set of parens. sqrt(1-(1-x)^2) I believe as it is it’s just linear.

    I did a stint in Devops and I found every models to be like this for all of the infra-as-code languages. Anything yaml based was especially bad. Even Amazon’s own offering completely made things up about Amazon’s own formats. I’d be curious

    100%. I am not a fan of AI generating code in a professional context (for a number of reasons), but for side projects and as a learning tool I’ve become less yells-at-clouds about it.

    Using AI tools in a professional code base, currently, seems a bit dangerous to me. However I have changed my mind on using it for vibe coding. I used to type in program source code from magazines and had no idea what I was doing until some

    I love doing all aspects of building software. However, I’ve noticed when I am feeling lazy I’ll just copy pasta a stack trace into an LLM and just trust what is says is wrong. I won’t even read the stack trace. I only tend to do that when
