That's String Theory providing "answers", no?

It isn't. $COMPANY I've worked for use commit counts as a metric, and you can bet all the money in your pockets they've skyrocketed with no change to actual output after they did. LLM's make it even easier; "Commit

Not to diminish your lived experience, but this is sort of a management issue, no? There should be some expectations set and/or gates that need to be opened during PR about commit expectations. Some teams like a lot of commits to be

`jq` and `ffmpeg` were two of my very early uses of LLM's for daily ease.

I seem to recall he had a cadre of people actually writing the browser, too. (Also Indian, as I remember, but it's been awhile.) It could be a faulty memory, but I've never thought much of the guy after I heard that, and he conti

Fun. Interestingly the one that "won" for me isn't the one I normally use, which was one of the candidates, but I have used it a lot in the past.

Same, and constructing at least drafts of huge documents that I can iteratively fine-tune that have (at least last week) saved me 10's of hours. And based on reality (code) rather than my feelz of what I vaguely remember the code to ha

My take is new capabilities will consume any price reductions, making them moot. At least in the medium term. A RAM price drop due to some magic efficiencies assumes everything else doesn't change, which I doubt anyone honestly thinks

I want to accuse you of using an LLM to write this with the temperature set to some absurdly high value, because on its face it sounds ridiculous. And yet, here we are.
