> it does it all flawlessly Serious question: How do you assess this? It seems to me that it would take very significant time to establish that conclusion.

If the outcome is equivalent regardless which choices the LLM made, then these LLM decisions weren’t material for the outcome, and it would be fine for me. If the decisions don’t materially change the result, then it means that I can still

“Web” implies a structure. And the internet traffic travels physically from country to country. Not being bound to geographical regions is an illusion.

You know that it won’t be doing that, the tech for that either just isn’t there yet, or is more costly than your average purchase.

In general it's bad practice for a user to expose someone else's email address to an application provider without consent (email providers being the one necessary exeception, of course), therefore I would abandon that approach in

I disagree in the sense that source code (compiler input) leaves little space as to the behavior of the resulting program. With LLMs, either there is much more implied leeway, in which case I’d argue that it’s different in nature. Or the sp

One problem with that is that it’s difficult to prove motives. So you’re on shaky and disputable ground. It’s much better to point out how the proposed mechanisms are prone to be misused, which is independent of current motives. Get rid of

That’s technically correct, but it still means that someone has to write the formal specs that Claude’s output is verified against, and someone has to design the formal languages the specs are written in. And once you have formal specs that

The source code always was the result of that distillation, or at least a crucial part of the result. I’m unconvinced that natural-language specs can replace that role. Even long before LLMs, when writing specs I often resort to some form o

You misread what I wrote. My comment is against the argument used, not against what is being argued for. Using the wrong argument diminishes one’s position. I’d prefer the stance against surveillance to not be diminished by such arguments.

While I’m decidedly pro-encryption, I don’t like this argument. If something is the right thing, it would still be the right thing when promoted for the wrong reasons, and if it’s the wrong thing, it’s still the wrong thing even when at pre

The article discusses how Python uses it for numbers above ~2100 bits for that reason. That’s way beyond your regular floating-point type in terms of precision.

Based on comments elsethread, I think what was meant is: You can install it now with “bun upgrade --canary”, or something along those lines. However, people also report that the canary version doesn’t identify itself as version 1.4.

That wasn’t the question. The question is how LLM code review is a huge disruptor. What is it disrupting? At best, with regard to code review LLMs just solve the problems that LLMs create.
