   I rode transit everywhere as a kid living in the city. Got to explore a ton of cool stuff. Meanwhile my friends in the suburbs had to walk 30 minutes to get Starbucks. And it was a gruelling march without sidewalks or tree cover.

   McCarthy's books involve unrelenting violence. If he viewed commas as pauses, it makes sense that he would never use them.

   In my experience, LLMs are strongest when paired with an automated BS filter such as unit tests or linters. I use Cline and after every generation it reads VS Code's warnings & fixes them. > If an LLM code generator is used, is

   You're saying "Understand and report on impact by AI coding tool". How can you drill down into per-coding assistant usage? Also, what's the pricing?

   In the future I plan on disclosing the use of AI in the body of the original PR so it's clearer.

   I would also ask - of the requested changes reviewers have made, what percentage are due to LLM generated changes? If more than zero, does this corroborate the Gentoo policy position of "Popular LLMs are really great at generatin

   I agree with more review. The reason I wrote the PR is because AI keeps using `int` in my codebase when modern coding guidelines suggest `size_t`, `uint32_t`, or something else modern.

    I graduated literally 3 months ago so that's my skill level. I also have no idea what the social norms are for AI. I posted the comment after a friend on Discord said I should disclose my use of AI. The underlying purpose of the PR is

    I didn't make a decision on the tradeoff, the LLVM community did. I also disclosed it in the PR. I also try to mitigate the code review burden by doing as much review as possible on my end & flagging what I don't understand. I

    I've been using AI to contribute to LLVM, which has a liberal policy. The code is of terrible quality and I am at 100+ comments on my latest PR. That being said, my latest PR is my second-ever to LLVM and is an entire linter check. I a

    In Ontario the doctor gives me a requisition form with the blood tests they want to do. I take that to whatever bloodwork chain is closest to me, they do the test, and get reimbursed by the government. I don't think any of those chains

    static if was more or less added in C++17 under the name `if constexpr`. It's not exactly the same since the discarded statement is still checked if not dependent on a template, but like most things in C++, it's similar enough to

    Including or importing a templated class/function should not require bringing in the definition. That's why #includes and imports are so expensive, as we have to parse the entire definition to determine if template instantiations
