It's cheaper to hire 5 juniors and to give Tim a mental breakdown than it is to hire 5 Tims. Realistically though, if you really did hire 5 Tims you would deliver in 1/5th of the time and the software would actually be decent on t

Bold of you to imply that GPT asks questions instead of making baseless assumptions every 5 words, even when you explicitly instruct it to ask questions if it doesn't know. When it constantly hallucinates command line arguments and lib

> Umm, is this right? No way to know until you painstakingly verify every single assertion that the AI made! The author of this article certainly didn't, and the content was good enough to them. Trust me, AGI is almost there.

My poor baby boy Prolog... it's only down there because people are irrationally afraid of it :( And most are too focused on learning whatever slop the industry wants them to learn, so they don't even know that it exists. We need

The law shouldn't be about who can afford the most lawyers. It naturally consolidates power which is pretty dangerous to democracy.

I also use o1 and sometimes it just gets stuff confidently wrong. For example it often makes up command line arguments or optional parameters to methods or configuration keys. Anything that is even remotely niche, anything that hasn't

Cool story but at least try to give some argumentation when you say stuff like: >The design of the language in Dockerfile is ad hoc in a bad way. It’s difficult to understand, for me, and easy to make mistakes. Because that reads like a

It means being good at first order predicate logic. And possibly higher order too when you consider `call/n` and lambdas. It means being good at generalization, at reasoning in causal terms, at understanding structure and grammar, at e

When, precisely, did programmers stop caring about efficiency? Why is everything in the modern tech stack so bloated and inefficient? It's so funny to me that modern AI is the most wasteful thing we've invented and it's not e

No, if A's PRs always bounce because the testers find bugs then A is going to look like an idiot. Then again you need to work at a place that actually employs testers. If B always submits PRs and they always go straight to merged in pr
