My counterpoint to this is, if someone cannot verify the validity of the summary then is it truly a summary? And what would the end result be if the vast majority of people opted to adopt or deny a position based on the summary written by a

Have we really reached the point where a candidate gets outright rejected for not using AI tools, without taking personal aptitudes into consideration?

>It's the same with genetics. Getting lucky with looks is fine but working for the same goal (eg surgery) is somehow bad and people often hide it. We also tend to hide how hard we work to make our success look natural, but we reveal

What I find amusing with this argument is that, no one ever brought power savings when e.g. used "let me google that for you" instead of giving someone the answer to their question, because we saw the utility of teaching others ho

Clippy only helped with very specific products, and was compensating for really odd UI/UX design decisions. LLM's are a product that want to data collect and get trained by a huge amount of inputs, with upvotes and downvotes to ca

One can assume that, given the goal is money (always has been), the best case scenario for money is to make it so the problem also works as the most effective treatment. Money gets printed by both sides and the company is happy.

>People exaggerate the problems of using a stable distro. Stability isn't a problem, it's a feature. Companies trust Debian, Ubuntu LTS, etc. for their servers EXACTLY because the packages are old. This isn't the case with

Every time I read an LLM's response state something like "I'm sorry for X", "I'm happy for Y" reminds me of the demons in Frieren, where they lacked any sense of emotion but they emulated it in order to ge

It's not about what the company uses, but how informed the technical people responsible for hiring candidates are around the ecosystem they claim they work with. Example: Expected: "Oh, you're on Linux? I heard about Rider. W

When I was in high school, I would see the algebra teacher work through expressions and go "ohhh, that makes sense". But when I got back home to work with the homework, I couldn't make the pieces fit. Isn't that the same

Before copilot what I'd do is diagnose and identify the feature that resembles the one that I'm about to build, and then I'd copy the files over before I start tweaking. Boilerplate generation was never, ever the bottleneck.

I can't even begin to imagine how a 12-year old who discovered how empowering bending the machine to do your will through code feels when, over time, realize that their dream career has been reduced to being an LLM middleman.

I always assumed that general advice targets the average person, without accounting for potential mental health problems. I cannot imagine myself trying to tailor an advice for all neurotypical people out there, because everyone can only sh

I'm kind on the fence, but not with the article. It's true that there are engineers who lean more towards one or the other way. For example, since the author brings up the switch from Neovim to VS Code due to features, I do love u

Yep. I can see how relying on non-repetitive dialogue generated by LLM's will inevitably make us lose common ground scenarios that end up being memorable moments, like the arrow to the knee from Skyrim or "such devastation! this w

I hate how true this is, even as a job seeker. I'm here building things using Next.js when I'm fully aware that I can build them using less than that, yet I must keep going and overcomplicate things in order to add my familiarity

Just because you can never have absolute safety and security doesn't mean that you should be deliberately introduce more vulnerabilities in a system. It doesn't mtif we're talking about operating systems or the browser itself

The other grossly understated downside of lacking server browsers is how the player nowadays relies on the system to match him with the "best match" they can get. This opens the door to all sorts of skinner box manipulations, such

Placing greater weight in our own anecdotes over randomized trials and researches is what gave us some of the worst experiences in recent years.

That's an awfully profit-scoped way to frame human competence and assumes profit as the end goal. What about hobbyists?

I absolutely do that because I got so bullied that my personality shifted from self-expression to emulation. I realized that just this week because I caught myself copying a coworker he's respected and has people laughing with his joke
