I think SwiftUI is just a reflection of the times we live in. If you look around, many things which used to be done at "great" or "amazing" levels, are now just "good enough". Cars, houses, software, service -

Yeah, my immediate picture was a blue hobo tent with some extenders sticking out of it.

I am so happy that just by setting Siri to an unsupported language I can kill Apple Intelligence across the whole system.

How much must one tie their self-worth to a chatbot to debase themselves like that? To think that a winner in the arms and intelligence race of animal kingdom, a member of the species that made this chatbot, would put down themselves like t

You don't even know what "main character syndrome" is.

They aren't, it's just populating context window until "memory" is pushed out.

I heard that a year ago, I guess we still need to wait a bit more. Thought agents were fast!

LLM proponents always use some language like "these old, stuck up dinosaurs with their manual labor vs us cool smart kids with automated labor", but they forget one thing - with automated labor the performance and cost difference

It's not just that, but the core is just that, even with reasoning models. Harness can only get you closer to the good result, but can't save you from every pitfall. As for PM analogy - don't forget that models don't l

Well, since the fundamental underlying structure is still the same, yes.

Not only we are looping, we are also adding layers of Idiocracy upon each loop. I kinda envy retired software engineers now, they can just grab the popcorn and watch this dumpster fire without a worry.

Gary Tan building something AI-related on top of your work is an anti-flex.

I can’t take anyone who puts probability on events like that seriously. How would you even explain the calculations behind that with a straight face?

For basic primitives with known output it’s verifiable, but as long as you’re dealing with real systems with tons of inputs and side effects this no longer holds true. > research showing with the right policy, Rest of the owl.

Coding is anything but “easily” verifiable.

This article has all the correct conclusions and solutions based on one assumption that doesn’t have any hold in reality - that someone would be insane enough to allow direct DB access to an AI agent.

Well, they obviously are going to say that, they have vested interest in OpenAI and thus Nvidia stock price growing. Also, I honestly can’t believe the 10x mantra is being still repeated.

I think at this point it’s all but confirmed that LLMs sycophantic tendencies coupled with yes-man attitudes produce AI psychosis and AI fanaticism. Especially if you’re already of high opinion of yourself (be it deserved or not).

Yeah, this while video I honestly couldn’t stop chuckling because it’s built on assumption that bicycles somehow either can’t brake at all or will take five business days to brake like a freight train. Though looking at Berlin cyclists th

Commenting every method, how pedestrian! I comment every letter of my code!

If you care about the product, you double-so-much care about code correctness and the alignment with the expectations of the stakeholders.

Oh, please enlighten us what is the entity, don’t be a coward!

It’s so funny reading most comments here, knowing that they’d be celebrating and saying this is good if it was Netanyahu. But when it’s a maniacal islamist declaring his goal to be the destruction of US and Israel, it’s suddenly very nuance

“Stochastic parrots” only stopped because AI fanboys stopped screaming “AGI” and “it will replace everyone”. Maybe they finally got the memo?

Why does everything related to AI have to have such awful names? It’s as if everything is named to be as annoying as possible.

>If you haven't spent at least $1,000 on tokens today per human engineer, your software factory has room for improvement …What am I even reading? Am I crazy to think this is a crazy thing to say, or it’s actually crazy?

One of the Swift’s worst parts is how Apple keeps putting features in there just for the sake of SwiftUI.
