If they do, then I would agree with them.

Aider has built-in functionality for this. You can pass it a command (dotnet test or whatever) and it will autorun it after AI edits. If tests fail it can paste the output into the context for you.

I regret to inform you that war does in fact happen. In fact it happens quite frequently

This is the worst kind of pedantry. There is now code in a text file that wasn't there before. It doesn't really matter to me if they code came from human fingers, an auto generator tool, an LLM or a ouija board. It looks like wri

Roleplaying with robots is currently one of the bigger use-cases for LLMs, esp. across younger generations. Look at the usage stats for something like character.ai. So that is a very clear case where people want to have conversations with c

Pretty much where my thoughts on this are. I rarely feel any particular sense of connection to the actual author when I read their books. And I have taken great pleasure from some AI stories (to the degree I put them up on my personal websi

I think the doom() function is still getting rolled out across the major browsers. IIRC newer versions of Chrome have a working implementation.

There is truly no suggestions of change to people's lives small enough that someone won't make opposing it part of their identity.

Excel is not merely Turing-complete, but a step above, able to achieve dark things best left unsaid.

I don't know about this specific technique, but I have found it useful to add a line like 'it's OK if you don't know or this isn't possible' at the end of queries. Otherwise LLMs have a tendency to tilt at what

Yes, I enjoy it an awful lot. It's my element.

Maybe I am just way deeper in this space that any well-adjusted person should be, but the line of 'did you know LLMs are bad with niche factual information tasks in non-verifiable domains?' has become extremely boring to me. It fe

I despise Blow but this is a critique that borders on the incoherent. You could just as well say that when you figure out how to hurt enemies without taking damage, you're done with action games.

And yet LLMs tend to in fact be very funny, just very very rarely on purpose.

This has been part of LLM usage since day 1, and I say that as an ardent fan of the tech. Let's not forget how much ink has been spilled over that fact that "think through this step by step" measurably improved/improves

Every LLM web app I have used has a disclaimer along these lines prominently featured in the UI. Maybe the disclaimer isn't bright red with gifs of flashing alarms, but the warnings are there for the people who would pay attention to t

My natural instinct when I encounter this kind of person is to lavish scorn on them, but I have to hold myself back from that. Partly because it's the mature thing to do, and partly because the coming years will be hard enough on them

That's totally fair. The tech is only barely coming out of the enthusiast adopter phase and there's not a critical mass of content on there to keep most people putting on the headset daily. That and the ergonomics do still suck, e

I will personally say that if you ever get the chance, definitely try a Waymo. I did recently for the first time and it's a hell of an experience. You can very vividly imagine it being the future. I'm also going to stand up for AR

Fun. Fun! I find it a lot of fun to have a computer spit out pixels based on silly ideas I have. It is very amusing to me

As they say explicitly in the article, this is like criticizing the first rocket to reach the edge of space for not getting anywhere useful.

We also live in the age of architecture. Should everyone who drives over a bridge or work in an office know how those things were constructed and how they are maintained? Should everyone be trained extensively on the infrastructure that get
