Cognitive ability can be highly specific. If you don't use it you lose it. You may be able to keep your chess ELO high, but realize you can't implement basic algorithms in C++ quite as readily as you used to. Or you can't wri

It’s easy to imagine this being a problem both in quality and in volume. Verifiable work is less valuable than verified work. And noise is always costly.

That seems about as shortsighted as claiming the value of human understanding has cratered after the invention of the electronic calculator.

The “higher level of abstraction” phrase used to describe what LLMs are in relation to programming… That phrase needs to die.

The python type hints are useful for static analysis (and yes, should be the default) but it’s a joke compared to the utility of types in a language like Haskell.

Support for anything Trump in this context is completely detached from reality. Unhinged.

I’m calling BS on this. Biggish claims that are so vague as to be borderline unverifiable, no scientific basis laid out.

In my experience, Visa support can’t tell me why my legitimate transaction was tagged as fraudulent, other than to say it triggered an AI thing. They also can’t tweak the settings like they used to do, but they can manually allow specific t

Linters often don’t provide the constraints you desire. While they’re a great (arguably essential) tool, they often are not sufficient. When a project has well-established patterns, part of the job is to just follow the pattern, whether you
