That just means the bugs are so subtle you haven’t found them yet, they are there and unspooling the damage may be very painful.

I think there is an LLM bubble for sure, but I’m very bullish on the ease with which one can generate new specialized models for various tasks that are not LLM. For example, there’s a ton of room for developing all kinds of low latency, hig

Claim is LLM exhibit reasoning, particularly in coding and logic. Observation is mere parroting of training data. Observations trump claims.

If you don’t read or understand the code, then no, you aren’t reasoning. The condition of “some people are bad at thing” does not equal “computer better at thing than people”, but I see this argument all the time in LLM/AI discourse.

I asked both OpenAI and Claude the same difficult programming question. Each gave a nearly identical response down to the variable names and example values. I then looked it up and they had each copy/pasted the same Stack overflow ans

My first thought as well - “AGI via LLM” implies that our grey matter is merely a substrate for executing language tasks: just swap out bio-neurons for a few H100s and viola, super intelligence.

Ok so if you are doing sentiment analysis of user product reviews you want to silently truncate emoji because you don’t like them? That’s a good idea how?

Good to hear they saw the light but after I switched to Postgres I never had a single regret. In a competitive market where people make very long term engineering decisions based on stability and reliability you can’t fuck up this badly and

A database that doesn’t give you back what you put into it is never a perk. It literally can’t handle storing and retrieving the data.

UTF-8 is what made me switch. It’s insane MySQL has something called UTF-8 that isn't really UTF-8, but do have a type UTF8MB4 that actually is correct. This means if you use UFT-8 in MySQL, you can’t use emoji for example.

I think that’s a fine approach, but they are claiming Claude is a 100x coder which is patently absurd.

Data breaches, financial errors, and the like for an early stage company are a death sentence. That’s the type of error I’m suggesting, not some flakey CSS.

I mean systems critical infrastructure code where error tolerance is zero. For one off scripts or sketching a concept quickly it’s good enough, and for language reference it’s generally useful. However, one thing I’ve noticed with Claude in
