Telling humans to change how they write just so they won’t be accused of using AI is the most anti-human pro-AI idea imaginable.

Which is why it's very likely to happen, especially in the EU.

> they've fallen into irrelevancy right now It's a very charitable take, as Mistral has never really left the realm of irrelevancy. It's only a matter of time before EU falls back to hosting Chinese models in EU datacenter

It sounds amazing for 14yo boys who are not specifically into hard sci-fi.

I fully agree. The reason that LLMs seemingly defy No Silver Bullet is that the premise of that theory is flawed. Software development has been mostly accidental complexity, not essential complexity. Actually I believe even with LLMs'

Every time I read articles about MCP I feel like the internet (or HN) is having a collective stroke. People are saying API are better than MCP. But MCP is just API with some instructions for the AI to discover how to use it. Nothing more no

I had been saying this on HN repeatedly: people are going to use the smartest models for coding. They don't care how cheap your tokens are if they don't have the highest probability of solving your programming tasks. And I was dea

Any working system has to rely on some arbitrary rules. Drawing a line between students who scored 600 and 625 is still infinitely better than drawing it based on the decision-makers' moods.

There are already such tests. They're called International ___ Olympiad.

And how many claims human experts disagree on in the exact same setting? I'm not being snarky here. Without something to compare to the 67% number tells us nothing. And it's known that many humans disagree with human fact checkers

I honestly don't get why someone would write a blog post for such a simple problem. It's fizzbuzz level. I thought the author might be an artist who knows very little about programming and is just learning, but according the about

They are paid for what they collectively output. The only reason that people seem to be paid by their time is that it's hard to measure each one's output individually and granularly.

The article is at least one year too late. Claude Code has been the product-market fit. It's so obvious retrospectively that questioning it at this point would be very silly. The problem is not whether they have PMF (they do) but how t

Personally, I think the fact even after being asked to google another solution they still insist on the first solution came to their mind is the second biggest red flag. (The biggest one is that they still think there is nothing wrong abo

I think the root reason of the rising of AI chatbot is that many people are tired of talking to people.

Thank you. I was about to reply the same comment but I couldn't say it as concisely. The funny part is some top comments are saying this article is straw man and the rest of them are just proving the archetype is very real.

It'd be a little more convincing if the article itself didn't read like something directly from LLM. But perhaps that's the author's point?

This is why I object to sleep() from unistd.h. What an anthropomorphizing notion. Didn't early unix programmers understand that a computer isn't a living creature and therefore isn't capable of sleep? They must have been real

As someone who doesn't know jj and read this article, it does sound like `git rebase -i` to me. I'm sure that if I actually spent time learning jj I'd know the difference though.

When it comes to something with random results (unfortunately that's what LLMs are), people will think the odds are rigged against them. It's a good thing that hype-chasers are cancelling though. So we can use the services with a
