Maybe it wasn't trivial?

You're absolutely right!

No it's just the medium. The point is to communicate. You can test this quite easily, by checking and hopefully realizing that you in fact can understand written documents with syntax errors, emails with typos and road signs with impro

You can have voting systems in place, where at least 2 out of 3 different code paths have to produce the same output for it to be accepted. This can be done with multiple systems (by multiple teams/vendors) or more simply with multiple

You're right, trading by insiders is not necessarily inside trading. Look it up, it's a pretty interesting nerdsniping blackhole.

Why would you assume the parent would have both a betting addiction and enough side money available to make it worthwhile?

by vntok 7mo ago
The parent is specifically talking about producing boilerplate code -a domain in which LLM excell at- and not having had any success at that. It's therefore not a leap of logic to assume they haven't put (enough) effort into getti

> An LLM has never saved me time. It has always produced something that doesn't quite work, has the rough shape of what I want, but somehow always gets all the details wrong. This reads like a skill issue on your end, in part at lea

Then the fix is pretty easy, just don't visit their site?

What would you find deserving to be criticized about such a gift?

by vntok 8mo ago
True, however as these products have been designed and coded by LLMs from the ground up in 2025+, they are generally using modern (typed even) languages, the latest version of third party libraries, usually have documentation of sorts... so

Why would you test implementation details? Test what's delivered, not how it's delivered. The thinking portion, synthetized or not, is merely implementation. The resulting artefact, that's what is worth testing.

Reproducing experimental results across models and vendors is trivial and cheap nowadays.

by vntok 8mo ago
Oh I saw it, you still have a fundamentally flawed comprehension of LLMs. The size of the model does not factor as tiny models can use Internet to fetch factual information. But you think they are accurate repositories of knowledge, even

Don't ask a small LLM about precise minutiae factual information. Alternatively, ask yourself how plausible it sounds that all the facts in the world could be compressed into 8k parameters while remaining intact and fine-grained. If yo

How large is your UI team? If a few dozen people or more, fire at least half for sure. The junior half at least. Keep a core of seniors to coach and direct the AIs, you'll more than make it back over time.
119.
by vntok 8mo ago
Same thing entirely: ask for something like "a modern UI for gathering customer details" you're guaranteed to get a pile of shit. Spec it out providing your needs, objectives, guidelines etc and you'll get better output.
