I have no idea how and why GenAI would be useful in your profession. I'm sure a lot of money is moved there (not sure about the profits though), but it's not clear to me how software itself is budging that needle. I…
No career is safe for what's coming though. I think I'll just hang around the computer boys. The dress code is much more forgiving.
Stuff it's not directly trained on is going to be flaky and sucky. It was like that with programming at first too and it still is sometimes. It's hard to imagine this won't improve with better more focused training.…
I also remember doing this. Chats, first parts of books, title pages and all, just to give it a chance of saying something in the ballpark of what I was looking for. I remember very vividly that chats or books by Linus…
Interesting, so you would say that your experience is .. illusory? In what medium exactly? Illusion requires a substrate of some kind. "Awareness"? What's that? Neurons are themselves things we experience (indirectly).…
"no vibe coding" is different from "no ai". I'm not sure where the authors are going with this. No autocomplete? What level of autocomplete? No "deep learning"?
Interesting example for sure. Walking the woods seems more complex, but I still think there is a real difference between "this character Xenia in a TV show acts an actor inside a TV show inside this current one and she…
Just to offer a counter-example, using AI makes programming bearable again for me. Most of programming comes down to a short - edit: not quit so short but you may understand the figure of speech.. - list of things which…
I understand your point, but a slightly more positive reading might be that the quantity of information consumed, while perhaps unable to be precisely quantified, can be related to the type of content being perceived.…
Just want to add this is my experience as well. Just solid coworkers. Of course they mess up sometimes, but easier to fix up than with humans and their politic and egos. I find I can actually reason for once instead of…
I know it's unpopular to say (here), but I see it all the time. Myself I sometimes cannot recognize what I wrote and what the agent wrote. It's just that I often have a physical memory of typing it, but that's it. (I…
I suppose the complexity of the domain is the main driver of the difficulty level. Perhaps that's the intuition that I'm trying to pin down: programming itself, the typing of words for the compiler, the act of…
Fair enough, but I think that never really worked all that well. What I mean is that the term "programming" would then essentially cover anything and everything that can be put into an algorithm of some sort. Neutrino…
> it was an extremely hard engineering problem But that is not programming then? Doing voice recognition in the 90s, missile guidance systems, you name it, those are hard things, but it's not the "programming" that's…
