I find it laughable this whole thread is people throwing around opinions instead citations

Bugfix =! rewriting code, though. Reworking an existing solution to be better is fun, but a bug fix often isn’t that. (When talking about ”rewriting code” I think of a larger scale than for example three lines of code)

I don’t think there’s anything surprising here and nothing to do with metacognition. LLM should be able to answer ”I don’t know (for certain)” to questions where the training material also says ”this is not known and there are only speculat

The people dismissing criticism are the worst. A fine case example is Cyberpunk 2077 at release - the game was ridden with bugs and several of them gamebreaking. That on top of failing to reach what it’s marketing had promised. I enjoyed th

The punchline is that after all is set and done these people will still believe the lies Trump and Musk give to them. Just shift blame to something else, have that common enemy, bring up some of the ”positives” you’ve done and they are just

The reason you overestimate their capabilities is because you use them for things you don’t know anything about. It’s like when your nephew made a simple HTML website for himself twenty years ago that was <h1>Hi I am Mark</h1&

I use the 4o very often in my work and it mostly sucks. Sometimes it’s very good, sometimes it has nice knowledge that was faster to find from it than a search engine. Mostly it spouts out unhelpful noise (for my problems). I’m sure if you

Something being a concern and doing something about it are two different things. I’m concerned about plenty of things, for example regarding my health or relationships, yet mostly fail to take action to address these concerns. The same hold

Do such links really work so that it’s enough to load the page on your browser and you are done?

Sod off. Your take on overweight being ”willfully and knowingly overeating” is ignorant and naive beyond recourse.

It isn’t about why his promises appeal to some people. The question is why people buy the ”free ice cream for all every day if I’m elected class president!” from a pedophile-rapist criminal. And instead of class presidency it’s real preside

It’s possible to learn literally nothing when using a gen ai. You can copy paste stuff without even glancing your code. For student work sized projects I’m sure it’s very doable to have a working product without knowing anything about how i

Mine did, but as a junior as with probably many others. The react based website was a demo in itself and it also was a portfolio demoing my other projects. It landed me my first part-time job in the field after I had been in university for

What are you on about? The point of education is a) (before higher levels of education) general education and b) learn skills that help you in your life and work. For the latter examples being critical thinking or understanding causality. D

I’m not sure what kind of an answer you are looking for, but a simple one is to apply for jobs in the fields you are interested in.

May or may not have found their thing, but excessive gaming can be a coping mechanism which doesn’t necessarily have much to do if they found their ”thing” or not. Depression, anxiety, etc. can be sort of pushed aside by gaming all day. Did

A team in our company did I an actual refactoring for a customer using some generative AI. They claimed it gave them like 10-15% estimated speed boost - but then again, people who’d try this out probably also buy into the hype and will say

Thanks for the lenghty write up, I appreciate it. Even though I write mostly Java for a living, I’ve got only a couple of years of experience and lack the means to contribute to a discussion of this level of expertice.

Finland has banned flavoured cigarettes and smoking has reduced significantly in the younger population. Although it has also steadily upped the tax too, so I don’t know if the lack of flavours cause or correlation. Anecdotally, I know many

IIRC we’ll be upgrading from 11 to 2x something in our project in the near-ish future. We are using spring / axon and (IIRC) there was some EOL coming up or at least some newer versions required newer Java. I might be wrong though, hav

I’d love to see an example on the bad code and also the ”correct” notes. I have a couple years of experience and it’d be nice to see what I can spot. Anyone know a good resource for something like this?

Since we are going with anecdotes and gut feelings, I’d say these things aren’t related at all. I can imagine pictures, sounds and also have always been good at abstract thinking. Also chess and tetris are a matter of practice mostly, imo.

Imo the internal monologue is often about summarizing or sorting out something, while I’ve already figured it out non-verbally. Like a verbal confirmation. Though sometimes the internal monologue is about processing something and figuring s

That’s a weird thing to assume, and makes no sense. Also ”makes people go crazy” is a fittingly insulting way to put depression in a comment that’s way off base to begin with.

It’s pretty jarring to see quite often remarks that developing with ”Gen AI” is a must and a game changer and whatnot. Usually when I have a SW problem gpt4 can’t help me. Sometimes it can speed up something marginally, but almost never no

Boohoo. I’m happy any time people show some spine and principles, instead of sucking up to companies and brands. We should do it more, not less. Review bombing is a great start.

I’d say 10-15 years is an optimistic outlook for ”full autonomy”. Maybe in some regions of the world in certain weather conditions. Full autonomy in northern snowy countries isn’t going to happen in 10-15 years, imo.
