The idea that you need to run a study to criticize a design decision is stupid. A stack trace is ground truth, natural language is interpretative. The implications are plain to see.

As a serial hobby-hopper myself, I have come to realize that anything worth doing is at times dull and tedious. Passion is not always intense joy, it's appreciating the highs and tolerating the lows. Don't get caught up chasing ch

Maybe the start of a bigger shift to another platform. I'd wager a large portion of the Discord user-base is underage, and they've got nothing but time.

This essay is dripping with self pity. I do not care that you're a woman, I do not care that you have a PhD, I do not care that you used to be a barista. You can be technical if you apply that label to yourself. You cannot force others

Thanks for your time Tudor, I didn't intend by any means to diminish your work by associating it with your company. I had read the first two chapters of your open book, and I found it useful to understand how the idea of moldable devel

The jargon makes this project really difficult to understand at a glance. I've gathered that this is an environment for the programmatic inspection of existing systems. It is developed by a company that works heavily with legacy code,

Lua fills its niche of no-fluff embeddable scripting language perfectly, the idea is to bind to your own code. It makes sense to me that they wouldn't focus heavily on the standard library. I think that if there is a large enough commu

This is exactly what makes this scenario so absurd to me. The authors don't even attempt to describe how any of this could realistically play out. They describe sequence models and RLAIF, then claim this approach "pays off" i

Completely false. I went to one of the cheapest accredited colleges around, I received the maximum pell grant, and my federal loans covered about 65% of the tuition. I worked full time through college to cover the remaining tuition and book

I have a similar setup going on. I'm a heavy user of LLMs, but the only time I use the code they generate is for throwaway scripts. I like to describe the problem I'm working on, paste in my code, and ask about everything wrong wi

Well, it's not as if that promise didn't come true. We do have the world's knowledge at our fingertips. It's more of a curation problem, and a natural result of a decentralized web. Wikipedia could be considered a "

Sounds like you just treat programming more like engineering than art. Some art does have source code, there is plenty of room for creative exploration with code.

Zero technical information in the write-up, vague implications, pretty blatant marketing garbage. Who could have guessed that the Chinese platform would communicate with servers operated by one of the largest Chinese telecom companies? Who

Intelligent people do not "hallucinate" in the same sense that an LLM does. Counterarguments you don't like aren't "shortcuts". There are certainly obnoxious anti-LLM people, but you can't use them to dism

We live very different lives, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm of the opinion that you don't really "control your own destiny". Most things happen by chance. Fighting for control is a losing game. If you feel

I made no point about the state of most Electron apps. What I mean to say is that rather than pivot to a native toolkit, businesses could prioritize improving their use of Electron. These days most of the UI world is focused on web. Using w

Electron can be done well when treated as any other Desktop UI framework. VSCode is probably one of the only examples of that. I think the bad reputation comes from lazy wrappers pushed out to tick the "Desktop app" box, which are

Same story here, I've got an old laptop and a wireless keyboard / trackpad combo. I haven't touched the TV interface since I set this up.

I like to ask LLMs to critique my code, they often point out a good number of legitimate improvements and oversights.

As someone who has never lived in a city this is strange to me. I live in a relatively dense part of Louisiana, but around here you couldn't walk at all without jaywalking. There aren't even sidewalks in a lot of places. You just

My platform of choice was YouTube until they introduced shorts and took a more aggressive stance against ad-blockers. I quit initially because I was against the direction the platform was heading, but realized quickly that I didn't mis

At the end of the day switching from an interpreted language to a natively compiled language will result in a faster program. Of course there are performance gains to be had refactoring with a deeper understanding of the problem. That mig
