How do you propose to quantify the terms "elegant" and "easy to reason about"? What unit of measurement do you use for these? This sounds like your personal feelings, not quantification.

Have you driven around them? Waymos have caused me more near misses in the last month than I can recall in a year of driving in Atlanta.

Okay, that is a lot more understandable and I do agree. Sorry for the uncharitable take!

So your stance is that it’s wrong, but you should be allowed to do it because it makes you very angry? What exactly would you think of anyone else applying that reasoning to anything in society? Would you think that they belong in society

For me, Open Source is extremely important because the tools are rapidly changing, and for reasons unrelated to my productivity. I use Copilot CLI at work, but now have a daemon that monitors it for updates and monkeypatches in my own custo

Determinism is a terrifying word to people who want to believe their LLM has a little brain and can do anything they want it to.

The primary reason I am not convinced is because it (and several other tools) frequently classify my own writing as AI-generated. Especially my technical writeups. Now, I could just assume I'm an outlier within that small false-positiv

I'm open to being convinced, but the study you've linked me is limited specifically to professionally written, proofread journalism from 8 publications over a span of a little over a single year. It's not exactly a wide bread

I like the terminal emulator but I just don't see any use for the agentic stuff. I've disabled it all because it gets in the way.

Performance vs. Maintainability is the infinite debate, and it’s a mind numbing one because in the vast majority of professional roles you will have the opportunity to prefer neither.

I’m not saying whether I think you’re right or wrong, but AI text detectors don’t work and never will.

> This concept was betrayed far before agentic tools, with a much earlier concept: Automatic updates. This is a huge complaint for me. I had to disable JetBrains from automatic updates because they wont stop trying to force their horrend

Well that's kind of understandable, isn't it? In the USENET era, internet users were a subculture. In 2026, almost everyone is an internet user. It's kind of like saying "As someone whose first car was a Model T, I don&#

This is also extremely interesting to me. An instant, ephemeral cloud sandbox is pretty handy.

This is a constant issue for me in every facet of embedded development - with the sole exception of devices that can easily be tested in a qemu environment. I would also love to hear that the authors of this book suggest.

> Credit card entry If you're handling credit card numbers yourself, you're in a shrinking subset of developer roles. I've spent the last 7 years of my career working at payment processors, so I do handle that stuff, but

I see where you're coming from, but as someone who regularly interviews engineers, I don't care about specific tech stacks when evaluating a candidate very much either. I can only think of two positions I've worked in where s

To be fair, for the vast majority of cases, no you don't. It is extremely rare for companies to roll their own payment processing anymore, or even handle PCI scope at all.

Thank you, that's extremely clarifying. There's so much confidence in these comments about apparently nothing.

Thank you! I have heard of this before and did not know what it was called.

I’m not sure what capitalization has to do with anything. You can answer my question without being a pedant.

I think you all might be using the wrong terminology here. The Observer Effect is a part of quantum physics. I was shocked to learn there was a psychological phenomenon by the same name and went to read up on it, but there doesn't seem

This wasn't just capable last year, it was capable prior to ChatGPT existing entirely through specialized automation harnesses that predate the terminology of a "harness" for models. This is something you could have done in 2

Your meaning was not clear, which was why I made certain to explain why your two comments do not mean the same thing. If that was not enough to explain why what you said was incredibly inaccurate and toes the line of fascist propaganda, I w

Your phrasing in the post I replied to is not the phrasing you are using now. People frequently do bad things to people that they think are the right thing and that they still know are not “for [the victim’s] own good”. For example, removin

Coping with what? Your reply is too full of buzzwords and vague assumptions to understand what point you are trying to make or what you believe you have inferred from me.

> they were sincerely meant to be for people's own good That is an incredibly offensive bastardization of history.

This has nothing to do with LLMs.

by devmor 2mo ago
Why on earth do you think an LLM would be capable of detecting problems with a listing like that without a human doing so first? LLMs are just as gameable as SEO, if not more so.

The "steering assist" feature in new cars is terrifying, and has almost severely injured or killed me once. When my car was last receiving service, I was given a loaner vehicle with this new feature. I was driving home in the rain
