It's curious that you find it necessary for us to share what "median" means, but then not share, but I guess you must have accidentally pressed the "Reply" button before you were finished? We can do a simple thought

The decisions are important, but the understanding is that you define them as constraints. Which is what a segment of the software community, the upper class if you will, has always believed you should do, even before LLMs were a thing. The

That would depend on your opinion of what those words mean, but in my opinion neither has any applicability to our discussion. Not sure why you would want to take the discussion off topic now unless that is the only way you can find to try

JSX is a little pickier about structure, but doesn't give much care towards conformance, which is where the bulk of HTML violations occur. I expect close to 98% of React output is also invalid, which is why users are using React and no

So you don't believe in "spaghetti" code? No matter how a codebase is written you will consider them all to be equally readable, equally able to reasoned about, equally able to tested, etc.? You see no difference between &quo

Right, society functions on opinion, but there is no scientific basis for it. Its just making shit up and running with it. You aren't charging someone for lying. Detecting the utterance of a lie is fundamentally impossible as there is

Fundamentally impossible. Communication is completely made up. It cannot be measured scientifically. Consider the statement: "Cows live on the moon". It is 100% true, although you may not see it that way if you misinterpret what i

Communication cannot be scientifically measured. Someone's expression being a "blatant lie" can only ever be an opinion, fundamentally.

Tinygo's base runtime is only around 10kb. It was minimal enough for my needs. gc's runtime would have been a non-starter for that task, to be fair, but Go isn't an implementation. It is, quite explicitly, a language. There a

If everything is opinion then there can be no shared reality. The only "reality" that exists is your opinion about there being one.

Correctness is binary even in context. The axis of which you speak shows distance; essentially how close the programs were to being correct. Every single sample was incorrect. Think of it as being like a road trip. Arrival is binary. You ha

by win311fwg 2mo ago
Correctness is binary, while quality is not. Correctness is a suitable property to act as a multiplier in your formula, where incorrect is 0 and correct is 1, but you also need other facets to find a quality gradient.

Best to read the comments before replying. The article is about correctness, while the parent is talking about output quality.

I think you will find that is a supporting example. Django pushes for a particular style and structure, which is a similar property found in the Go community. LLMs seem to fall apart where human written projects of the same nature had no pa
