I don't trust anyone who claims that LLMs today are superhumanly intelligent. All they do is perform compute-intensive brute-force attacks on the problem/solution space and call it 'reasoning', all while subsidising the

Axel's engagement with the issue and refusal to give up is admirable. It also demonstrates that code and architecture remain important even in an era when managers believe these subjects can now be handled by LLMs. Imagine if LLMs were

So when Anthropic releases a new model that "breaks compatibility" with some Markdown files, do we call it "refactoring" to find (guess) the required changes to have the desired outcome again? Don't we create brittl

I have been using Java since version 1.4. Both the language and its ecosystem have come a long way since then. I endured the height of the EJB phase. I adopted Spring when version 1.2 was released. I spent hours fighting with IDEs to run OS

If the output has problems, do you usually rerun the compilation with the same input (that you control)? I don't usually. What is included in the 'verify' step? Does it involve changing the generated code? If not, how do you

Why not show a summary of who actually received the data? It should be easy to implement. You could also add what data is retained and an estimate of how long it is kept for. It could be a summary page that I can print as a PDF after the pr

What is the purpose of an AGENTS.md file when there are so many different models? Which model or version of the model is the file written for? So much depends on assumptions here. It only makes sense when you know exactly which model you ar

I can follow the arguments, and I find many of them plausible. But LLMs are still unreliable and require attention and verification. Ultimately, it's an economic question: the cost of training the model and the computing power required

Yes, the database layer and the data itself are also sources of truth. Code (including code run inside the database, such as SQL, triggers, stored procedures and other native modules) defines behaviour. The data influences behaviour. This i

Why is it too big to fail? SpaceX can be dissected, parts be sold to the government or the competition. It's too big to fail for Musk, because it is one source of his money, in large paid by the US tax payer.

In the case of those big 'foundation models': Fine-tune for whom and how? I doubt it is possible to fine-tune things like this in a way that satisfies all audiences and training set instances. Much of this is probably due to the t

It's such a shame that Lenovo discontinued the X1 Nano series. It's my everyday casual driver. I would buy a newer model instantly if necessary.

True. The same is true for nuclear energy. I never heard of a nuclear power plant that did not receive substantial subsidies throughout lifetime. Not to forget the nuclear fuel and the efforts required to create it and later to store it.
