Seems like a fairly direct parable against AI, suggesting that even if it's right it's better to think for yourself.

IMO you should also wait half an hour for the food not to be delivered. Isn’t that the suspenseful part?

It's intended to be a markdown with code. So it has nesting and scopes and code/math modes in with the markdown. Idk, I find it mind-bending but quite readable.

Interesting use of evals. Might help interpretation to say on the front page that it's a five point scale with 0 (or 1?) being the safest score. This can be picked up from colors and the bars in the individual reports, but it takes a m

Interesting, I got a completely different result on green/blue on this one, way more green whereas I got average on the individual test. Going between very different colors makes it hard to reset - they might consider breaks between sp

Yes, using nine specialized cameras. Still very impressive but the human is overmatched on equipment alone.

> reset the context Yes. Do this. These problems likely mean you have muddled the context. The article too long and I didn't read the whole thing, but I'm glad the author came to understand that arguing won't help.

I think the point is that you have a better idea of what you want it to remember and even a small hint can have big impact. Just saying "write up what you know", with no other clues, should not perform any better than generic comp

Odd how this thread is a recapitulation of your experience with the LLM. What is take from this is that it's pointless to try to find out why an LLM does something - it has no intentions. No life and no meaning, quite literally. And if

Strongly agree about the deterministic part. Even more important than a good design, the plan must not show any doubt, whether it's in the form of open questions or weasel words. 95% of the time those vague words mean I didn't thi

This is exactly what the article is about. The tradeoff is that you have to throughly review the plans and iterate on them, which is tiring. But the LLM will write good code faster than you, if you tell it what good code is.

Why do you find it useless for legacy code? I find I have to give it plenty of context but it does pretty well on legacy code. And Ask DeepWiki is a great shortcut for finding the right context… Granted this is open source and DW is free. I

What is your argument? There are a lot of bots, therefore humans are no longer in charge?

But only if there is a competent compiler engineer running the AI, reviewing specs, and providing decent design goals. Yes it will be far easier than if they did it without AI, but should we really call it “produced by AI” at that point?
