Millions were invested in this project where they fired the expensive experts (me included) and replaced with a small army of cheap devs (which was actually more expensive and less productive than just retaining even one of the experts woul

If you don't human review anything and no human reads the codebase guess what I could do hundreds of PRs in an hour and appear the most productive while not doing any real work at all. These kind of idiotic companies sound like great p

Intelligence is the complete opposite of an LLM. Usually the more you needed to memorize to do something the less intelligent you were considered. It was also not considered to be a different route to the same thing, but more like fraud. Al

Yeah that's why all models are wrong and everything ultimtately comes down to intution like supreme court's I know it when I see it. It's just that intuition doesn't scale and a lot of common cases can be handled with mo

In frontend it's coupling everything to specific backend urls and it's literally billion times worse. People fire up a frigging headless browser and set up backend servers to test a few microseconds of logic. You don't get to

If you live paycheck to paycheck and then get a 25% salary increase, if everything else stays the same, in a year you have already saved 300% worth of your original salary vs 0%. That is even with your unwarranted assumption that all energy

Who is creating business critical function on top of something that is for entertainment purposes only (all providers have equivalent clauses)? AI tools and shovel sellers don't count as they just can just push the entertainment downst

TVs for consumers are sold at loss and the TV companies are making money with data and ads. I guess the real price is 5-10x of what you pay. So only 10-20x more expensive for more apples to apples compariaon.

I mean you probably cannot even do 284882 * 282817374 in your head, let alone billions of matrix multiplications so that argument doesn't make sense. If you used a trillion square feet of paper to do the calculations as extra steps to

Another way to put it: Things that should be tightly coupled but are not is preferable to things that should not be tightly coupled but are. I agree especially because coupling things is easier than uncoupling things.

Bigger models that Antrophic want to sell cost disproportionately more (e.g. 100% more cost for 5% performance improvement) than small models you would use locally

65-70% "programmers" never wrote code in the first place. Before AI cargo culters just copy pasted code from tutorials, stack overflow, github and so on. With AI they merely continue not writing code. Some people didn't do

They are not actually driverless, they have remote human operators for the edge cases.

I am on a flagship samsung that runs for example the Red Alert 2 browser port well. OP is just pushing slop, the 80% part anyone gets for free. (well 20 bucks)

Yes, the first 80% of a subject is repeated everywhere (including all the misconceptions) and you cannot go deeper except if you got very lucky like found a 5 year old youtube video with 130 views or an old blog post or a downvoted reddit c

I didn't even have to play. Immediately after opening, some notification about rotating my phone is obscuring the instructions and I cannot read them.

What does "writes X% of code" even mean? I use AI to generate code very rarely (basically replacing searching code from SO which was also rare) yet maybe 90-95% of my code is machine generated (macros, snippet engines, boilerplate

More is not more after a certain point. Even without AI it was already way too cheap to produce software and we built way too many things that should not be built because it wasn't worth the liabilities and other tradeoffs. Basically s

What on earth is this. Literally the only thing that matters is are there more bugs after AI written code is allowed into the codebase at all. We all know the answer to that lol. But it's always nice to see "data" can be used

It isn't about small or big, it's about cohesion of the changes. I prefer a big feature to be one big PR rather than a lot of small ones. We had a dev do a big feature with a ton of small PRs, each one was individually impossible

You are asking the wrong question. It's not about if you can do X which can be faked especially if you are given practically infinite tries and all failures are hidden. The people who want to believe they actually reason just ignore al

Ironically it is any maxxing, including improbabilitymaxxing, that actually makes you a predictable and controllable machine. Such a sad waste of what could be a free will.

Not really. For example preliterate people have absolutely insane memory. In comparison my memory sucks. Having to use notes, look things up etc sucks. Literacy is a tradeoff but at least it can be argued to be worth it. Then there is smar

It actually makes sense. For any task it is completely trivial for anyone to become better than >80% humans and still easy to be better than >95%. The only problem is motivation not intelligence.

Not being able to call a function inside if block or a loop is not just javascript.
