No it's not, don't be facetious. That's not at all how AI training works.

This is the sort of thing I used to love doing and I often gaze at raw data analysis and sometimes wish my career had pivoted towards working with data like this. But I must admit there was a point where I suddenly lost my love for SQL and

One AI can't vibe code out of the mess, so you'd make another AI trained on getting out of vibe coded messes? That's serious levels of circular thinking right there.

But at least you could basically follow their logic. I think what a lot of us are concerned about is that the vibe-coded stuff bloats fast. It's so verbose and all over the place, that picking that thing apart will be a huge job, and r

I've had tinnitus that acts like that for 20+ years. Maybe you're really lucky and it is your WiFi, but that all sounds like a coincidence rather than a cause. It probably just made you notice it. Were you in a band or anything? L

I don't really agree. The author cites studies. Some of the problems they talk about they don't need proof as they're obvious, like people writing huge documents where previously they'd create a paragraph.

So far, when Claude pops out a schema it's pretty spot on, iff you've described the problem correctly. What the article's author seems to be hinting at is that the problem was described incorrectly from day one, and the LLM p

We don't have dealerships in the UK like the US has.

Yeah, they should be testing for that, right? I think there's a lot of people reading comments like yours and thinking, is this person a paid shill or what? The earn bucket loads of money, they should be planning for exactly that. And

I am, although I have used nix occasionally. In Europe C# fills the role of Java. You're just in an American echo chamber. Now the number of senior C# engineers in Europe who couldn't fix a broken deploy on IIS or SSL cert problem

It seems to me that you're the one confused? The mathematical symbol is just a representation of a concept, it's not infinity itself, you've got it backwards.

Why are you writing a vpn multiplexer written in a language you don't use? You can't review it. Are you relying on your colleagues to do that, or is this riddled with bugs? Or is it code you're producing for personal use only

the opinions in question are that bash should be enabled by default with no restrictions, that the agent should have access to every file on your machine from the start, and that npm is the only package manager worth supporting. Bold choic

Part of how AI works is that it's just really complicated compression, you can get AI to write out Harry Potter novels word for word with the right prompting. When it picks out a rare bit of code, it will be simply copying that code, i

It's a shame you feel that way as articles like this were extremely common 30 years ago in the Saturday and Sunday papers. And I do miss them. I wonder if it's a generational thing, where now every essay must focus on one idea ins

But OpenAI/Anthropic are not selling the compute as they're buying that from Google/Amazon/etc. So they're selling the transformation, or the model. Or the ability to make a model. And their brand and their harness.

The motivation behind what you've classified 'good' is bad, you've just twisted the symptoms to appear good, while the underlying motivation and root cause is bad. Unfortunately the parent is suffering from a complete la

Exactly, I completely agree. It's the difference between using a SQL library and some person on your team writing their own SQL library and everyone having to use it. There's a vast gulf between the two, professionally speaking. P

Simple examples are interceptors and error handling. Fetch is one of those things I keep trying to use, but then sorely regret doing so because it's a bit rubbish. You're probably reinventing axios functionality, badly, in your c

You can read the article and see it's not a tech debt trade off but someone not doing a back of the envelope guesstimate about how much DyanmoDB would cost to run their payments system on it.

I just don't believe you. We can all see the vast gulf between paid + open AI in image and video, it's really visible. Compare Grok to wan or LTX or whatever and the difference is vast. There is no debate that those sort of models

Yeah, even 2 years ago you could tell it to make a service with minimal instructions and it would usually guess the right data structure. Often better than many developers I've worked with come up with.

In this day and age all it takes is one person who knows what they're doing. That means they've got zero people who know what they're doing.

What is your point? That's still a major loss of functionality.

In the UK they claimed that girls did worse on one-off exams and so the one-off exams structure favoured boys. When course had more graded coursework, girls did better. So that was the justification used to switching to a less impactful fin

It doesn't. I can write that script faster than I can write the text asking the AI to write the script as SQL is concise and my IDE has auto-complete.

Previously you'd buy an admin template from ThemeForest for $10, slap your logo on it and and be done.
