Some specification exists as formal constraints. Ie: c code will or will not compile. However some specification only exists in natural language. IE: make this page optimized for a smartphone. The task of turning that vague direction into f

My mental model is that ai coding tools are machines that can take a set of constraints and turn them into a piece of code. The better you get at having it give its self those constraints accurately, the higher level task you can focus on.

I think this was the missing piece from the article. The simple behaviors enabled interest in a market, but at the end of the day, the original Roomba didn't work well. It's cool to romanticize the simple behaviors, but like they

Without commenting if parent is right or wrong. (I suspect it is correct) If its true, the market will soon reward it. Being able to competently write good code cheaper will be rewarded. People don't employ programmers because they car

We humans use timestamps in conversations to reference a persons particular state of reference at a given point in time. Ie “remember on Tuesday how you said that you were going to make tacos for dinner”. Would an llm be able to reason abou

The difference is how you relate to the job providing accommodations. If you know certain employers are more willing and able to provide accommodations then you can consciously weigh that piece of information when considering a job/car

This is an important distinction. Indeed, many behaviors (ie attachment issues) that are maladaptive for an adult can be adaptive to a child and it is important to not change those without taking into account the environment a child is in.

HN commenter logic: 'if I don't understand it, this is clearly wrong' 'If someone doesn't spend money irrationally like I spend money irrationally its bad' There is indeed a blind spot.

Reading the posters cv and experience, I suspect they have a skill gap in theory of mind. ie, understanding how they are perceived. Sure, the economy is hard, and finding a job is difficult. Questions I have - What jobs are they applying fo

Agree 100% It's very hard to get a job right now, I don't doubt that. Also it's not very helpful in getting a job to look at macroeconomic trends: the relative change in the trends is much smaller than how you show up in the

Brenda also needs to put food on the table. If Brenda is 'careless' and messes up we can fire Brenda, because of this Brenda tries not to be carless (also other emotions). However I cannot deprive an AI model of pay because it mes

What's the round trip latency on this? ask question -> response. Do you parse the question word by word and feed into llm or wait for the whole question before feeling into llm?

This is the right answer. Was this good/bad? Idk Room for improvement? Maybe? Clearer direction with the benefit of hindsight? Maybe. but the majority of the sentiment in the responses is coming from people not type rated in a 737.

Software engineers are the translators. We (as a metaphorical community are in denial). Read the 100s of comments on this post: either (AI code is wrong or this isn’t correct or it’s not effective or some other justification). At the end of

What these articles miss: 1) not all coding is the same. You might be working on a production system. I might need a proof of concept 2) not everyone's use of the coding agents is the same 3) developer time, especially good developer t

Letting an agent figure out how to compile old projects is magical. What used to be multiple days of slog is now “compile this, make changes and download tools as needed” with 10 mins of git review to make sure it didn’t do anything stupid.
