LLMs are not going to allow you to do advanced programming if you couldn't already do it by hand. The thing about LLMs is, they are a force multiplier, imperfectly, but I guess they are getting there. The overall vision (unless trivial

IDK. I cancelled my Claude subscription because for the highly creative code I am working on, it is maybe useful for like 5% of it, and LLM produced code is still mostly slop. I'm generally able to detect LLM writing output; In most co

Complex is orthogonal to Large. Some small to medium scale systems address an incredibly complex problem space. Some large systems are solving relatively simple problems. Of course I do agree that size introduces it's own complexity.

I'm not sure you fully grasp what I'm saying. I'm seeking to draw a distinction between disliking rust for the real (or perceived) difficulty of learning/using it, and disliking it on principle, because you don't li

What “steep learning curve” is getting at is a situation where a lot of learning needs to occurs in a short time to make any meaningful progress. It is not in opposition to a flat learning curve, but a gentle one

I think one can understand Rust and still dislike it? Not every criticism of Rust comes from thinking it is too hard. I appreciate it for what it is and the problems it tries to solve. I just don't like many aspects of design of the la

They are not going to use nukes. I always wonder at the people who have this idea that states are going to use nukes on a whim. The taboo against the use of nukes is very strong, so strong that I believe nuclear armed nations would rather w

I'm not saying water meets the strict definition of a material with high compressive strength (it does meet some, since it resists forces that attempt to decrease its volume well). I am just using as an extreme example of the issues wi

Your comments betrays a lack of comprehension and understanding. Please reads my comments and linked definitions carefully. See this comment elsewhere in this sub-thread that explains it probably better than I did: https://news.y

Look up the Wikipedia definition [1] of compressive strength: > In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is oppose

Exactly. Many materials would have compressive strength easily, just by being relatively uncompressible. But most loads have a (troublesome) tensile component. Fundamentally, the ability of a rigid material to resist deformation (in the mos

That's my point; think about it deeply.

by prmph 1y ago
To be fair tensile strength is more impressive and to me is the only true strength. Water has great compressive strength, and yet is it difficult to think of it as "strong".

Don't know why you are being down-voted, but your comment is spot on. Of course being a complainer just by nature or for the fun of it is not constructive. But oh my, it amazes to no end how fragile the egos of people in general are.

No, terrorist/political groups almost never claim responsibility for attacks falsely. And if you think about that, it makes sense. What's the point? The eventual loss of credibility is not worth it for any serious group. Usually w
