I dont write off ADHD medication completely, it obviously provides value for alot of people. The thing I'm most concerned about is daily use. I have used them myself once every week or so during crunch times and they have been very use

Relying on medication to mask the symptoms of ADHD is effective until you have been taking that medication for years and end up depending on it to function at all. ADHD medication is usually just a stimulant, which your brain adapts to rath

Good idea, translating a whole table of related UI fields in one request would definitely give the LLM more context to work with and I assume would lead to better results.

How much "cultural and emotional connection" do you think it takes to translate a "back" button into all the languages that your users speak? Do you understand that translating software UI is not a creative endeavor, its

Did you just step out of a time machine from 10 years ago? Translation is considered a fully solved problem due to LLMs. If you're bilingual you can find out for yourself, LLMs are able to parse meaning and transfer writing styles perf

I had to implement multilingual UI for my app recently and the best method I found was using an LLM API inside a script which just runs on build and anytime a new text field gets added it gets the translations and stores it in a JSON where

I get that a pure consequentialist can flatten every distinction, but in the real world we still distinguish between (a) ‘I’ll kill your entire bloodline if you stop typing’ and (b) ‘You can resign and face a résumé gap.’ Until we’re ready

It seems that this is another one of those things where the lowest common denominator sets the rules for everyone. Most people arent tech savvy programmers so giving them the freedom to do 'whatever they want' will lead them to hu

If you look at the current LLM landscape, the frontier is not being pushed by labs throwing more data at their models - most improvements come from using more compute and improving training methods. In that sense I dont have to take their w

I'll admit I'm probably not as good at programming as the creator of curl. I write SaaS CRUD apps as a solo dev in a small business for a living. LLMs took away the toil of writing react and I appreciate that.

You are the last barrier between the generated code and production. It would be silly to trust the LLM output blindly and not deeply think about how it could be wrong.

What I have come to understand is that it will do exactly what you tell it to do and it usually works well if you give it the right context and proper constraints, but never forget that it is essentially just a very smart autocomplete.
