LLM output might be harder to spot when it's mostly commands to drive the browser. I often interact with the web all day and don't write any text a human could evaluate.

I'm capable of asking it a couple of times about the same thing. It's unlikely to make up the same bullshit twice. Usually exploring a topic in depth finds these issues pretty quickly.

It's not my experience that there are missing pieces as compared to anything else. Nobody can write an exhaustive tome and explore every feature, use, problem, and pitfall of Python, for example. Every text on the topic will omit somet

I agree, but it's a known limitation. I've been duped a couple times, but I mostly can tell when it's full of shit. Some topics you learn to beware and double check. Or ask it to cite sources. (For me, that's car repair.

I googled a command line string to do XYZ thing once, and found my own blog post. I really do write that stuff for myself, turns out.

All the same ways I know when Internet comments, outdated books, superstitions, and other humans are bullshitting me. Sometimes right away, something sounds wrong. Sometimes when I try to apply the knowledge and discover a problem. Sometime

I used llms to teach me a programming language recently. It was way nicer than a book. That's the experience I'm speaking from. It wasn't perfect, and it was wrong sometimes, sure. A known limitation. But it was flexible, and

Cliff notes with a near-infinite zoom feature. The criticism of cliff's notes is generally that it's a superficial glance. It can't go deeper, it's basically a summary. The LLM is not that. It can zoom in and out of a to

I learned how to code using the library in the 90s. I think it's accurate to say that if I had to do that again, I'm basically screwed. Asking the LLM is a vastly superior experience. I had to learn what my local library had, not

Humans are used to ignoring things while LLMs are explicitly trained to pay attention to the entire text. Humans who haven't been exposed to trick problems or careful wording probably have a hard time, they'll be less confident ab

Most professional software engineers have never written a game and don't do web work, so I somehow doubt that.

Is this some kind of joke? That's how you write css. The examples aren't the same at all, they just use the same css feature. It feels like you aren't a coder--you've sabotaged your own point.

Or "I'm a power user" of sorts. Probably a very small minority of users fiddle that setting. Dang said a similarly small minority of users here do all the commenting.

Maybe you had a hard time parsing his comment. He is capable of pressing twice as hard as the feature required at maximum. The screen handles 2x the maximum without issues. Therefore, the glass is thick enough to handle half that pressure,a

I reversed them on purpose to make a point, so I don't feel mocked. My point was how easy it is to mix them up. Warnings and watches are, linguistically, very similar. Additionally, his comment was a gentle correction, not mocking. I t

Maybe he's referencing how people don't like when other humans post LLM responses in the comments. "Here's what chatGPT said about..." I don't like that, either. I love the LLM for answering my own questions, t
