You can go outside at night and see big rocks floating. If space is so empty, how is it possible that you can see them with your own eyes? We live in a patch of space that's not that empty. Maybe that interstellar rock floated from oth

I agree, there is no innovation whatsoever in this approach. Furthermore, it ignores important lessons we've learned a long time ago.

It's finally happening. The acceleration of the full AI disillusionment: - LLMs will do everything. - Shit, they won't. I'll do some traditional programming to put it on a leash. - More traditional programming. - Wait, this t

Your answer is too vague for the details I asked. I could design an autoexec.bat to remember the programs that were opened after reboot, all automatically. If I open something, it goes there. If I close, I remove it from autoexec.bat. MacOS

The ocean is big compared to a fish, but I can still find fish in it quite easily. There's nothing statistically weird about these interstellar objects.

Universe is big and full of random small rocks floating around everywhere. Why should I believe some object was _intentionally_ thrown here? Maybe it is just one of those random rocks.

I like the idea of memory management. Maybe someone experienced in this stuff can help me with some questions: Is it possible to use this concept to keep a very long session? Tell it to forget things, or replace some part of the memory, wit

But word-of-mouth _is_ a marketing strategy. Companies can distribute freebies to make people talk good about them, even when their product sucks. It has been done for decades. A particularly pathetic and scammy LLM company could deploy tho

Maybe they're tired of "will be" statements that don't materialize. There's two ways of seeing this: - LLMs are a scam. The marketing did well, as scammers usually do. They lost SAP, but there's plenty of o

My OS gets slower and buggy if I don't reboot. So I'll try to convince my users to reboot often and optimize their workflows for rebootability. Feels like trying to solve a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. Onc

Doing separated CSS/JS does not imply in automatic breaking of LoB. You just need to come up with CSS and JS that are not _specific_, but _layered_ instead, which is hard. Bad: .one-specific-button-from-the-nav-bar { color: blue;

From what I could perceive, companies believe coding AIs will eventually learn to both code and teach better than seniors. This is based on two assumptions: - AI will get better. Developers using the system will transfer their knowledge to

Classifiers to classify things, traditional neural nets to identify things. Typical run of the mill. In OpenAI hype language, this is a problem for "Software 2.0", not "Software 3.0" in 99% of the cases. The thing about
