How much of that is just pattern recognition? I dislike AI because the result has consistently been bad. The most enthusiastic AI co-workers are producing garbage at a 100x rate, while the non-enthusiastic responsible ones are left reading

Skimmed through, and it sort of confirms my own experience: when a problem isn't approached with an engineering mindset, the resulting work also doesn't qualify as engineering. The article seems to make some fairly confusing state

What do you mean by C compiling in O(1)? Is that what the LLM told you?

As someone who's had to deal with a fair share of these types of sentiments, they have been, without exception, based on incompetence, and demonstrably wrong. That isn't to say that there aren't cases where "just do the

If LLMs have tough me anything, is that the average person is far more gullible than what I could have imagined.

CTRL+F for LLM, check. This is the litmus test for knowing this will fail since those involved have the wrong priorities.

AlphaFold is not an LLM. As such, it isn't a fitting example for "good news" related to LLMs.

Hm. Is HN starting to become more skeptical of LLMs? For the past couple of years, HN has seemed worryingly enthusiastic about LLMs.

Rule 1 seems similar to Donald Knuths "premature optimization" from 1974. > Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at e

Seems like open source is the way to defeat this. Anyone can easily create a competing service, which they then have to buy out, but the cost of setting up a new one is minimal. Interesting business model that feeds on anti-competitive busi

I was somewhat surprised to find that the differentiator isn't being smart or not, but the ability to accurately assess when they know something. From my own observations, the types of people I previously observed to be sloppy in their

I think that AI is a benefit for about 1% of what people think it is good for. The remaining 99% had become a significant challenge to the greatest human achievement in distribution of knowledge. If people used LLMs, knowing that all outp

You are exactly right. I think I was tired and simply misread. Thanks for clarifying. Between [3] and [4] I added an assumption, without basis, of implied agency by [1].

Not sure how bad it could be given the hypothetical "millions of years more technologically advanced". They'd need to have a pretty good reason to care about us. Otherwise, we'd be so insignificant that it seems much mor

Don't know what the prior extreme apple is alluding to here. But, apple marketing is what it is.

First I hear about Debian on pixel phones with graphene. Do you have a link to information on this?

Whataboutisms aren't all the great you know. Google and MS also get flak, and they also deserve it. But now that we're talking about these differences, I'd say that Apple users are notoriously complacent and defend Apple and

I don't think it is far fetched tho. If you have a couple of millions to spare, you can easily set up a little think tank on how to effect certain changes. If you're willing to throw money at something, it requires minimal effort

I think you hit a interesting point. If you define a very specific set of criteria to judge skills by, e.g. "classical piano", then unguided exploration might be a worse starting point than no exploration. But, if we accept a less

Object oriented and immutability are not mutually exclusive. Would I be correct in assuming that you're tired of people not doing proper data engineering, and in general having a irresponsible disregard for it? At least, "soul cru

I see. Thanks. So, not in reply to you, but the parent. It then seems entirely accurate to say they are not comparable. Ffmpeg as workhorse is common. But what handbrake and losslesscut are in terms of (mostly) UI, they solve different prob

Does handbrake supports slicing and moving around segments as well?

My take on this is that the issue is not declarative infrastructure resources, but a tendency to over-complicate the infrastructure. For example: You have a problem that is suitable for some message queue -> Apache Kafka. Now you have 7
