LLMs can only produce evidence. Producing proof requires a human Two types of devs: Those who require proof before shipping and those who don't Devs who require proof are shipping high quality. Devs who don't are…
I see people throw around these benchmark numbers I've seen different benchmarks come to different conclusions Benchmarking these models must be an incredibly complex and difficult problem How can a lay person know…
And there is often no respect for serious topics. Tragedy? Low-effort memes Someone in high esteem passes away unexpectedly? Low-effort memes Slow descend into fascism? Low-effort memes
I've been overweight many times in my life, and I've been able to use diet and exercise to get my weight back to a healthy level. Each occasion took a large amount of willpower and the healthy habits didn't stick around…
If your job is to write UI frameworks, by all means do that Otherwise, yes, you do need React (or something like it). Don't waste time re-solving the problems these frameworks were created to address. Spend your time…
LLM technology will never achieve 100% accuracy in its output. There is an inherent non-determinism. Tasks that require 100% accuracy cannot be handled by LLMs alone. If an LLM is used to replace HR, it will inevitably…
If services offered a paid version that guaranteed privacy, such that I stay anonymous and only data points that are strictly necessary to provide the service are persisted in the company's servers, I would happily pay.…
I opened this, walked away from my computer, then came back and clicked on the Debian 18 link wondering how the hell did I miss 14-17
2-3x faster on getting the code written. Fully completing a coding task maybe only 20-30% faster, if we count chasing down requirements, reviews, waiting for CI to pass so I can merge etc.
I exclusively use the autocomplete in cursor. I hate reviewing huge chunks of llm code at one time. With the autocomplete, I’m in full control of the larger design and am able to quickly review each piece of llm code.…
I don't think that is what the original commenter was getting at. In your case, the company is actively choosing to make changes. Whether its for a good reason, or leads to a good outcome, is beside the point. LLMs…
I think this is the core of the issue for the Democra)ts. Conservative groups are focused on figuring out what actions are effective in gaining power and executing on that. They don't shy away from unethical methods…
In this example aren’t the two engines equally capable, with one being held back artificially? I think what the other commenter is getting at, is that if the manufacturer puts a 300hp engine in a car but limits it to…
In my opinion, a very generic question like that deserves a very generic answer, with a follow-up asking if that is what they had in mind. "An interface is roughly how a system is designed to be interacted with. A web…
I went from a 2016 intel MacBook Pro to an m1 and although the differences on paper looked like many other spec bumps, the actual experience felt like a paradigm shift. It’s the first time I owned a laptop that lacked…
For most of human history, people didn't have to worry about - Exposure to exotic chemicals in every day items - Regularly operating a multi-thousand pound machine just to travel - Adversaries thousands of miles away…
To me the primary difference between the potential "copy" that exists in your brain and a potential "copy" that exists in the LLM, is that you can't make copies and distribute your brain to billions of people. If you…
I unsubscribe from mailing lists 20x more often than I knowingly subscribe to them. It should be illegal to sign someone up to a mailing list without explicit consent. If I create an account with my email, or provide it…
Identifying areas to improve is how we make progress

Companies that aggregate and sell data suck up all of the obituaries as they are public record and unburdened by regulations on sharing and selling it. Although it may not be in its original form (as far as I know),…
In the US, a person can get a new SSN if their current SSN is heavily used in identity fraud. I've heard its a high bar, but technically a person can be associated with more than one SSN. Getting an SSN for your child…
No consequences, the cost can be great, and it can negatively impact productivity by introducing hurdles to legitimate uses. Those are immense pressures a soulless company will need to overcome to do the right thing.

There's only so much requirements can do to prepare one for a project. At some point there's diminishing returns on time spent spec'ing something out. And of course requirements can change, so some amount of flexibility…
