Carson’s experience matches mine: AI is good at analysis and boilerplate, but not good at the kind of critical thinking necessary for good designs. If it were human, I would say that it jumps to solutions to quickly, rather than stepping ba

Yeah, your experience is definitely different than mine. When I’m working with human teams, I don’t spend weeks giving them thousands of lines of precise instructions. We work incrementally, having fairly brief conversations to make sure we

Interesting video, thanks for sharing it.

Sorry, I have to disagree. People often react to criticisms of AI with “but people also make mistakes,” but that’s a whataboutism fallacy. The statement was that AI is as good as the “best human programmer” and it’s quite obvious that it’s

> AI has been competent enough to code like the best human programmer It’s really not. Opus 4.8 can’t produce good software design and it still makes straightforward implementation mistakes. Two errors it made in one day for me recently:

It was a prior case that 44 views, not this one. But this one was similar in its low view counts.

This is a very strident response, presented with a lot of confidence, and I think that confidence is unwarranted. I haven’t read the article, so maybe it’s been covered, but here’s a simple way I usually “ask for no.” I send a message on Sl

A wealthy business owner argues that a wealth tax in Denmark will discourage the formation of new businesses there, and that new businesses are central to growth and prosperity. Personally, I’m not convinced by the premise: I don’t think a

For those who aren’t aware, as I wasn’t, this is coming from the “VP of Community” at the Zig Foundation. So the proposal to soft ban LLMs at Zig Day meetups seems like it has a bit more weight than if it was some random community member. (

People are looking at this all wrong. What you have here is a 13 year old business that makes about $100M per year. Nothing to sneeze at, but when compared to successful live-service games and MMOs, it’s peanuts. The cumulative revenue is i

“Our systematic study exposes a phenomenon of constraint decay in LLM-based coding agents. While current models excel at unconstrained generation, their performance drops when forced to navigate explicit architectural rules. For end-users,

I believe modern EVs have battery heating built in for exactly that reason.

Are you sure you aren’t experiencing selection bias? The article only mentions one modeling error (the one you quoted), so “all the errors” must be the ones you’ve noticed elsewhere.

The lack of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz says otherwise. If Iran can successfully blockade the Strait in the face of the full military might of the US, certainly they can cut an undersea cable.

Small businesses are bigger than you think they are. A company with $100 million revenue per year could still be a small business. You might be assuming small businesses have less than ten people. That’s a category of small business called

I see where you’re coming from, but something about this framing bothers me. I think acting honorably has to come from within. It’s something that people need to do regardless of rewards or incentives. Now, how we create a culture that actu

Neither you or parent have proven your position. Parent made a “conventional wisdom” statement without providing data; you shared three examples, and as the saying goes, the plural of “anecdote” is not “data.”

I think what you’re missing is there was never any real progress. * Oil futures (not spot price) have been completely detached from reality, with credible evidence of corrupt insiders making money by front-running Trump’s social media posts

What is/was Copilot on mobile and on XBox? I can’t keep track of all the different things Microsoft now calls “Copilot.” It’s interesting that so many execs with a GenAI background are joining a gaming console division, and seemingly m

I watched the first half of this video before giving up. It’s sensationalized and I’m not convinced the YouTuber actually knows what he’s talking about. You’re better off reading the actual article, which is very good.

Lots of middlebrow dismissal in the comments on this article, but none that actually engage with its content, at least not at the time I’m writing. Some of the dismissals seem like they only read the headline, not the article. (Shocking, I

The legality of this doesn’t seem like the most important factor here. The larger issue is that somebody thought it was a good idea to sell material “grounded in trusted ASU courses” without involving or even informing the actual professors

If you look at the comment I’m responding to, it is in fact about how VSCode is programmed; specifically, a possible reason why the Co-Authored-By trailer doesn’t show up in VSCode’s commit message box.
