LOL The world has always be run by oligarchs, and nothing changed since ten thousands of years. Most people today on this planet are still slaves.

No, they fail all the time. You just don't notice all the bullshit if you're not already an expert in the field you generate LLM output for.

by still_grokking 2mo ago
For anything where "the answer" wasn't already in the training data you just get some arbitrary correlated tokens out, as that's all a LLM can do. Of course the meaning of these tokens is just random. (And even for thing

That's some of the most weird anthropomorphization of a next token predictor I've read in a while… This things output token which are correlated with the context given. That's all! If you feed it some context the parrot wil

I've said I'm not sure about the validity of that reasoning. I've liked it nevertheless for context, as augmentation to parent's post.

Exactly! Completely new languages without large amounts of reference material are terrible for LLMs.

Or it's just some AI brain fart… The whole things looks vibe-coded, and vibe-designed.

You're looking for Scala… ;-) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47957121

That's in large parts Scala. It doesn't have Hindley-Milner type inference, but it has very strong type inference. We will get linearity soon thanks to and as part of the Capybara[1] effort. Refinement types are already long a rea

Why would you need "header files" when a LSP server can give you just the outline of some file?

Why would anybody use a vibe-coded and vibe-desinged language which effectively does not exist yet instead of an established one with such features, like Scala? https://arxiv.org/html/2510.11151v1

Yeah, that's great! Imagine we would download random code from the internet and just execute it, like with NPM, PIP, Maven, Cargo etc.

How about SELinux, like on Android?

Will this continue like that even when the prophesied Mythos Vulnocalypse hits the Kernel? This stance doesn't seem sustainable any more to me.

Looks like the Chinese are, again, winning the long game. There is simply nothing that could compete with their open models. At the same time more and more corps got "AI addicted", so they will either have to pay ridiculous amount

If you want to keep your shiny Apple stuff you're effectively trapped. Their walled garden approach works extremely well…

The "quality" Apple delivers is by now a complete joke. It's going south since over a decade, and this never stopped. It's like that because people are still buying. Even for the ridiculous prices Apple asks for. So why

Don't forget that Apple is spying on their users even more then Google does (which is gross in its own). Apple controls much more user data then Google does. At the same time Apple keeps telling their users some fairy-tales about &quot
