if it is truly a "relatively simple data organization task a child could do" then I simply don't believe that claude/codex are not capable of it. you are probably using the tools ineffectively.

I tend to agree, and unfortunately unlike some of its other more highly-prioritized development areas, this is one deficiency that the language is making very slow (or zero) progress on

this is true of pretty much every software project in existence.

I think there's a very bright future in this regard :) 1.13 is, to-date, the release with the fastest startup times. and AOT compilation continues to be a serious priority for upcoming releases

``` >>> x = [2*53, 2*53 + 2] >>> statistics.covariance(x, x) 4.0 >>> statistics.variance(x) 2 ``` python has plenty of bugs like these too. is this example also "LLM slop" ? I think it's frankly del

I have submitted plenty of core contributions, none of which were directed or paid for by VC. the language contributions come from those sufficiently motivated to contribute. if you want to change the direction, you need to do some work.

> It is better than your code, which is probably a low bar. why so rude and adversarial, especially when so misinformed? AI code is better than 95% of engineers at this point.

nobody "demanded" anything. it's just the most productive way to write code these days. the same is true at the vast majority of software companies (that can afford the $$ on tokens) as well.

I don't have any financial interest in Julia so I'm a bit confused about the reference to "share holders." I'm just a user. I'm sure there are lots of smart people who found that the language didn't suit t

I think that article has been discussed to death and there's not much value in resurrecting it on every single post that mentions Julia. ultimately if you think the language might be a fit for your use case, I'd recommend trying i

stopped listening after "they're not supplying a compelling product" the speaker here clearly is just rage-baiting. any inability to achieve productivity gains with the products OAI and A\ produce is purely a user skill issue

claude's grammar has gotten significantly worse with latest versions. it no longer writes perfectly at all

there are already reasons given in another comment thread. the main reason is that this IR is itself written in Julia, and using multiple languages is cumbersome and annoying.

I don't know if I'd call this an "unfortunate" result or not. it's neither good nor bad, just a thing. Arpino & Mogi are different authors that wrote a different paper that I didn't read. _This_ paper does

seems like an odd choice to so emphatically phrase this as a quality of "the left" when there are so clearly many plausible confounding factors (education, wealth, employment status, do you live in a small city apartment, etc.)
