At least not worthwile for the purpose you have in mind. Okay, now I understand better what you mean, something like: for some purposes, there's not much to be gained by distinguishing between "bug" and "feature", o

When a program clearly deviates from its spec, would you be okay with calling that a "bug"? There's always a gray area of what's intended by the spec, but a program can absolutely and blatantly deviate from the letter of

Whoosh, indeed.

Every idea can seem quite nice if you only imagine the good parts, gloss over the nitty-gritty and ignore the bad.

Your argument can be used to discredit all arguments, including itself. Because your argument is made only of the same letters as all others (let's stay in English, without losing generality), it is the same as all others, and thus it

Only if you let it. I learned something from the response to my question. Folks, take a step back, both of you. It's just software.

Maybe, but the position to not listen to him at all because he doesn't do that is still a much worse look in my book.

From what little you're saying, you guys might be more productive now and writing better code, finally decently documented, or you just hopped onboard a speeding slop train, or something to be defined in between. Hard to tell which.

You forgot to cite the source of your verbatim quote of an earlier comment here.

How much of the market valuation is actually created wealth? Not something I'm used to thinking about.

Well, "unauthorized party" is a better attention-grabber early on, but then of course it goes into an entirely different direction.

There is historical precedent for uprisings. Those are usually messy and do not tend to leave most people doing the uprising better off. Much more precedent for new elites putting themselves into a position of power while purporting to be c

That's fair. I on the other hand thought I was reading a dismissal based on nothing but some tweets (of all things), but in the end that was just an assumption I made. I notice that were doing this underneath these words: > Hopefull

Of course. Sorry. Not your perspective, but the conclusion, if you leave it there. Which you well may.

I think it shows that art and how people relate to it is more complicated than you think. If the existence of a bunch of handpicked comments can lead you to your conclusion, then you will struggle to find any "good" art at all. Wh

Thanks, that makes sense. I suppose it's difficult to account for the inconsistency of something able to perform up to standard (and fast!) at one time, but then lose the plot in subtle or not-so-subtle ways the next. We're wired

I find it interesting that this outcome is a surprise. I don't want this to sound smug, I'm genuinely curious what the initial expectations are and where they come from. They seem to be different for LLMs, because would anyone be

FWIW I like let-go a lot as the name. I'm relieved that clogo is not an option for you. It has some strong, malodorous campground toilet connotations to my foreign-language-trained ears. Loogo? Pottygo? Go number 2? Yikes to all of th

The better filter is to spend the precious interview time talking about actual experience solving real work problems, it has a high signal to noise ratio, because it gives you information on many independent axes. I guess for candidates fr

Any style can cross the border into bad and get in the way of itself when it's turned up to 11, no matter who wrote it. There've been stylistic fads before LLMs where a thing, with results just as chalkboard-screech-inducing as th

Seems to be one of those things where you think about them for a minute and go, huh, that'd be neat, but then you think about it some more how it'd play out in the real world, and that's when it starts to get actually interes

I think HIG means "Human Interface Guidelines" here. Seems to be an Apple thing. I wish more people would avoid or at least introduce abbreviations that may be unfamiliar to the audience.

Sounds dramatic, but it entirely depends on what "many" and "plenty" means in your comment, and who exactly is included. So far, what you wrote can be seen as an expectable level of drama surrounding such projects.
