I saw someone on lobste.rs proudly say that they haven't written a line of Zig code in their life. They have 31 Zig repositories on GitHub. GitHub is useless at this point. (As you might imagine, they also post on HN regularly and is q

Open Source is the company takeover of the good that Free Software represents, I don't really see it as a "movement" by people. It's set up precisely to exploit the people for free labor and look good doing it.

I'm not really commenting on that, I just want to remind people that Open Source is highly overrated and should not be looked at as a point in favor of a company .

Corporate open-source (Open Source) is done for free labor and PR, it shouldn't be bonus points for any company that does it, unless they commit to it and pay their contributors, have no CLAs that allow them to relicense the work, or a

I suspect we agree more than our comments make it seem. There are code generation use cases that make sense for LLMs to do, I'm already with you on that, and I suspect that your situation is one of them.

If your "disposable scripts" require large-scale code generation, they're probably not "disposable" or "scripts".

I don't know, I think a lot of games are worse because they've shoehorned their game into an overly general piece of tech that's meant to serve everyone and ends up doing a pretty mediocre job for everything instead. There ar

Anyone who heavily uses LLMs for their work is pretty obviously ill-equipped for their work, and likely getting even worse at it with time, yes. You can throw around as many "things people from the US worship because they make money&qu

That's a dumb way to do it, it should just write the frame buffer to a PNG instead of taking screenshots. I guess you can't take the dumb web developer ways out of these models at the end of the day.

Heh, if you're using LLMs heavily for work I think odds are pretty good you're doing pretty trivial stuff. It might not be trivial to you, but you're probably just not very good at this.

Then they can apply a clean solve , the cleanest solution . It's fascinating how offensive some of this verbiage becomes to you when you see it attached to LLM output too much.

Wow, this makes ML sound even more like voodoo than I thought. Can you give examples of what the nature of these ideas is?

Honestly, when our backend team merged into one that was using Perforce for the backend learning how to use Perforce wasn't realistically even a blip on the radar of what to get used to. I was against it at the time for what we were do

Are people upvoting this so more people can laugh at it? This whole post comes off as a parody of what Anthropic would say.

This sounds like you're overcomplicating things a lot and like you're very unlikely to be learning anything useful, I would suggest making something simple yourself to get a handle on what making the different parts of a game actu

Yeah, I really don't know what people are thinking. We specifically didn't use any LLMs in the development on the project specifically to not leak anything (though admittedly also because we just didn't think they were partic

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a meaningful percentage of comments and upvotes on HN are Anthropic astroturfing at this point.

Did you read a Wikipedia page, or did you read a LLM-generated summary? When I looked this number up yesterday the LLM summary claimed it was millions, but I opened the Anthropic post I was looking for and verified it was indeed just 150,00

Yes, and being completely sincere here: This is why most big companies have incredibly low velocity and do almost nothing of any actual value, and seem to make almost no progress at all. The only parts of these companies that actually do re
