I can't comment on your well-scoped case. I can still see it backfire (in terms of maintenance) but it does seem you are precocious and are limiting the potential damages, with your unit tests you are increasing at least the level of c

I've seen a very clever dev use it. I can't know if you are even cleverer, but I'd be cautious. In any case there are better and stronger arguments against LLMs than this.

You assume that null results are not worth it and are not the best of science. You seem to be ignoring the issue where researchers collectively waste time redoing "failing" studies again and again because the null results are not

I don't think the fork is very different right now, and I doubt inputting addresses works differently. You might want to try: - writing the city name at the beginning - putting the street number at the end Note that OSM might not have

Interesting points. Food for thoughts. I'd say it's not the same reliable. Manufacturing was doing the right thing but with a big failure rate. The process had to be refined. LLMs fundamentally do not do the right thing. They do s

I do like that the government has entities that thwart attacks, and I'm not sure full transparency for these entities works well for everything. Of course, I don't want this to be used as an argument to mass spy on the people.

Are both things actually comparable? RAM was unreliable but could be made robust. This tech is inherently unreliable: it is non-deterministic, and doesn't know how to reason. LLMs are still statistical models working with word probabil
