I don't know what world you live in, but I still definitely need to know the approximation error of the methods I use. sin(x) has one of the simplest Maclaurin series: sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! ... For any pa

Censoring foreign political influence and misinformation campaigns is just sane policy. US misinformation is no different from Russian misinformation. freedom.gov is specifically meant to spread this misinfo, freedom of speech is the stated

Good. freedom.gov is a clear subversive political influence campaign that should be banned by all European countries.

Having a few hundred thousand doesn't make you greedy, it makes you fortunate. Having a hundred times that does make you greedy. You had more than enough long before getting to that point. You could have been content with less, so the

A full adder is literally one of the easier theoretical computer science concepts, and a sine approximation is a simple Maclaurin series. And yes, if you can't do a simple series expansion, you are not an engineer. You may be a develop

Seems reasonable, but if it's just copy pasting, doesn't seem like that would take you a whole day. Maybe on the order of an hour at most. Were you exaggerating earlier or do you have more examples?

It may be illegal, but it's not unethical. Doing unethical things because someone pays you would still be unethical. Opposing those while someone pays you is still ethical.

Or feeling things for that matter.

You're talking about legality again. I'm talking about ethics. Using LLMs for software development is a safety hazard. It also has a societal risk, because it centralizes more data, more power, more money to tech oligarchs. It&#x2

I'm not trying to help you, I'm just wondering how the LLM actually helps you. You don't need to become a journeyman at understanding a format, you just need to see a schema, or find an open source utility. I just can't

Why do you beed ChatGPT for this, this is like two or three lines of code. That you then add to cron. This is one minute of human work.

Reading some documentation to figure out a format is something you do once and takes you a few minutes. Are you a developer? Then this is something you probably do a couple times a day. Prompting the correct version will take longer and wil

That gives _you_ a feeling that it's always on. It still can't model time.

You're telling me that a person that's greedy enough to have a net worth of several tens of millions doesn't care about money? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Forcing developers to use unsafe LLM tools is also malicious. This is completely ethical to me. Not commenting on legality.

DAG-scheduling is a solved issue. If you really need to impement an autonomous LLM agent workflow engine, use a DAG. Just have the LLM declare the edges. My suggestion is to not do any of that but use a traditional workflow engine / pr

Ah yes, let's create an autonomic actor out of a nondeterministic system which can literally be hacked by giving it plaintext to read. Let's give that system access to important credentials letting it poop all over the internet. C

Out of interest, could you give me an example of a feature that it one-shotted that would have taken you a whole day?

This is one of the worst takes I've ever heard. There's a reason industries have standards. If you replace established libraries with vibecoded alternatives you will have: - less documentation - less tested code - no guarantees it

This is a vibeslop project with a vibeslop write-up. Trees? Trees aren't expressive enough to capture all dependency structures. You either need directed acyclical graphs or general directed graphs (for iterative problems). Based on th

I don't understand the idea that you "could not think about implementing a feature". I can think of roughly 0 fratures of run-of-the-mill software that would be impossible to implement for a semi-competent software developer.

Why do you need to move things around? And how is that difficult? Surely you have an LSP in your editor and are able to use sed? I've never had moving files take more than fifteen minutes (for really big changes), and even then most of

This is obviously a rhetorical statement. I'm not claiming a categorical fact, but a fuzzy one. Most of these peoples are managers, investors, or junior.

I play with generative AI quite often. Mostly for shits and giggles. It's fun to try to make it hallucinate in the dumbest way possible. Or to make up context. E.g. try to make any image generating model take an existing photo of a hum

They do not. The "reasoning" is just adding more text in multiple steps, and then summarizing it. An LLM does not apply logic at any point, the "reasoning" features only use clever prompting to make these chains more lik

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying there's an overlap between tech oligarch and internet losers

LLM's cannot synthesize text, they can only concatenate or mix statistically. Synthesis requires logical reasoning. That's not how LLMs work.

The premise of those comments, just like the premise in this thread, is ridiculous and fantastical. The only way generative AI has changed the creative arts is that it's made it easier to produce low quality slop. I would not call that

Interesting, every developer I've spoken to is extremely skeptical and has not found any actual productivity boosts. Ok that's not true. I know one junior who is very excited, but considering his regular code quality I would not p
