I think there's a real possibility this is a "no such thing as bad publicity" stunt.

Those two are not linked. I could buy that maybe human-readable code will be the minority. But what does ephemeral code even means? That we will throw everything out of the window at every release cycle and recreate from scratch with llms

I can answer that one: none. The only thing I can think of is massively increased context windows (around 4k for gpt3), but a million context token with degraded performance when full is not what I'd qualify as resolved.

It might not have been. But it's not hard to see that whatever productivity coefficient multiplier llms brings, it's being dwarfed by how much easier it is to publish projects that only look good on the surface. While it's

I think you very much want to code differently if you were to target gddr instead of ddr. Unless you were only working at a high-level of course, but it would significantly influence eg the rendering engine

I don't want everybody with an idea making a repo. It's already hard enough to filter out the slop in github that I'm reluctant about using anything built in the past year.

Making them look more accurate is not the same as being more accurate, and llms are pretty good at the former. Imagine a user had a vague idea or something that is broken, then the LLM will choose to interpret his comment for what it thinks

Any adult with a full-time job should be able to afford a studio or small apartment. Probably making concessions on the location depending on where they want to live. It's not a matter of being young or not

I'm not sure what you're getting at, physical investigation is the common procedure. You need a reason _not_ to do it, and since "it's all digital" is not a good reason we go back to doing the usual thing.

Wow are these submitted automatically by claude code? I'm not comfortable with the level of details they have (user's anthropic email, full path of the project they were working on, stack traces...)

Because they can produce magnitude more code than you can review. And personally I don't want to review _any_ submitted AI code if I don't have a guarantee that the person who prompted it has reviewed it before. It's just dis

A pdf can be anything and everything. It's just a wrapper around text, images, html, you can even embed javascript. There's already pdf forms that are user-editable (without a pdf editor). Not all features are available on all pdf

Faraday fabric is inexpensive, you can use ethernet to your own router and wrap the isp's in it.

I do hope you comment the same thing on the pro-AI articles from people trying to sell you a product. Internet is now infested by those, and without these articles you might think everybody has collectively lost their mind and still think w

I agree in that these discussions (this whole hn thread tbh) are seriously lacking in concrete examples to be more than holy wars 3.0. Besides one point: junior developers can learn from their egregious mistakes, llms can't no matter h

I'm trying to understand why this comment got downvoted. My best guess is that "if you're in the loop, something is wrong" is interpreted as there should be no human involvement at all. The loop here, imo, refers to the

Maybe documentation meant for other llms to ingest. Their documentation is like their code, it might work, but I don't want to have to be the one to read it. Although of course if you don't vibe document but instead just use them

To me the UI looks clean and fine for a first version, definitely not like a [insert famous website] clone, which is what comes easily with llms.

You need a work permit to get a job, not the other way around. If you meant a "job offer", yes you can get a work permit with a job offer, but not everybody is that lucky. If you are on a tourist visa you can't legally get a

Medical industry, code that gets shipped has to be documented, even if it's not used. It doesn't mean we can't ship unused code, it just means it's generally a pretty bad idea to do it. Maybe the feature's requireme

So maintaining old and new code for X amounts of time? That sounds acceptable in some limited cases, and terrible in many others. If the code is being changed for another reason, or the new feature needs to update code used in many places,

Definitely Three.js or at least something similarly low-level. I doubt you can get this kind of performance with Godot or Unity on the web.

The vast majority of people I've interacted with is clear on that, we are not near AGI. And people saying otherwise are more often than not trying to sell you something, so I just ignore them. CEO's are gonna CEO, it seems their j
