Just like most nonfiction books, this post is a lot longer than it has to be. I think the core idea here is good, but it's pretty ironic that I wanted to stop halfway through. When writing is good, succinct, and to the point, people wi

Taking the high road doesn't work with this type of individual. Sometimes you need to call a spade a spade (or, more likely, call a bot a bot).

If you are pushing 40k lines of code per day you are an idiot and should be fired.

LLM docs suck. For technically complex things, they EXTRA suck. This is a bad idea.

Hilarious for this to be downvoted. "LLMs are deceiving their creators!!!" Lol, you all just want it to be true so badly. Wake the fuck up, it's a language model!

Brother, you are just outing yourself as being incompetent here. That is embarrassing.

Very reasonable take. The fact that this is being downvoted really shows how poor HN's collective critical thinking has become. Silicon Valley is cannibalizing itself and it's pretty funny to watch from the outside with a clear he

HFT is about the last technical domain that could possibly be touched by LLMs. There is next to no good training data and there is zero margin for error.

No, not a single reply, because your statement wasn't "Excel can cause problems sometimes". That's a different conversation. You said "Don't use Excel for accounting", which is something you could only say

You don't really deserve a response, but even the idea that you could tell someone to not use Excel for accounting and seriously project that you know anything about how accounting works in the real world is hilarious. You could think

This entire site is full of idiots confidently spouting nonsense. Probably time to move on. "Don't use Excel for accounting" has to be the dumbest thing I've read in a year, even with all of the LLM bullshit going on. An

How do people manage to pick such bad examples? Who in their right mind would ever allow an LLM to FILE THEIR TAXES for them. Absolutely insane behavior. Why would anyone think this is probably coming? Do you think the IRS is going to accep

How do we flag accounts like this that are just LLM-generated plugs on LLM-adjacent posts?

This is so obviously LLM generated garbage. Anyone upvoting this comment: lol.

Cool, another one of the frustrating things that you do where you don't actually answer any question that anyone asked, and instead reply with something silly. By implying you know so much about Tailscale, you immediately invalidate yo

by _se 8mo ago
Anyone who has used Tailscale before could have very easily figured out how to do that, yes. Of course, no sane person would ever want to do that, which is part of why it's not at all interesting. Do you know what Tailscale is? Do you

There is literally nothing interesting about this. At all. Absolutely 0. You have a bunch of text generators generating text at each other. There's nothing deep, nothing to be learned, nothing to be gained. It is pure waste.

People do materialize the shape of data and use it directly. That's what most OLAP stores want you to do, and what most data analytics will do as a result. The performance is, in general, significantly worse than standard OLTP joins fo

You could've just said "I don't understand how organizations of people work" and saved yourself a bunch of typing.

5 years? That's so interesting bro. Tell us more about what your thoughts on ChatGPT were back in 2020. Go ahead and double check when the LLM craze started and perhaps reconsider making things up.

No, the new "Year of the Linux Desktop" is "This Year Software Engineers Won't Exist Any More Because Of LLMs". Very obviously.

Can you really not see the irony in posting this comment? Have you no self-awareness whatsoever? Peak HN, absolutely hilarious!
