Astonishing that that concept survived getting laughed out of the room long enough to actually become established as a term and an acronym.

The IT industry is also full of salesmen and con men, both enjoy unrealistic exaggeration. Your statements would not be out of place 20 years ago when the iPhone dropped. Your statements would not be out of place 3 years ago before every NF

Massive, organic, and unprofitable. And as soon as it's no longer free, as soon as the VC funding can no longer sustain it, an enormous fraction of usage and users will all evaporate. The Segway always had a high barrier to entry. Curr

I'm not asking for massive adoption. I'm asking for public facing evidence of what many claim privately, that they have evolved their job into managing agents and reviewing vs writing anything themselves. Again, not massive adopti

GP is pointing out the distinct lack of AI driven development in the wild. At this point, agents should be visibly maintaining at least a few popular codebases across this world wide web. The fact that there aren't raises some eyebrows

They make great autocompletion engines, most of the time. It's nice when it can recognize that I'm replicating a specific math formula and expands out the next dozen lines for me. It's less nice when it predicts code that&#x2

Your tone is quite odd here. I'm having difficulty parsing your intention, but I'm going to assume you're being genuine because why not. For the RAM cache, you hit the boundaries when you exhaust the RAM cache. It performs fa

If you have an area where the standard is ambiguous about its requirements, then you have a bug in the standard. And hopefully you also have a report to send along to help it communicate itself more clearly.

Agreed, Gleam as a language has very few, generalized syntactic constructs compared to most procedural languages. There's enough of a signal in the data to be able to answer queries about the language; but when writing, LLMs universall

We can also be human together and find enjoyment in shared, incorrect first impressions.

I don't find this to be true. There are languages that are difficult to wrap your head around initially, but that turn out to be delightfully productive with a few adjustments to the mental model. Adjustments that LLMs don't have

GP is talking about the nonlinear way that software engineers think, reason, and write down code. Simply doing the same thing but backwards provides no benefit.

I've run into this even with the modern million context length that 2.5 Pro offers, it kept trying one of a handful of failed approaches, realizing its failure, and looping without ending its train of thought until I yanked the tokens

This is a really weak gotcha. One person is stating an absolute, the other is adding nuance but largely agreeing that the nuance doesn't affect the takeaways.

I would imagine a great many things work fine on any M4 that don't work fine on a great many phones and other devices.

I wish, would make my job a good bit easier. Sometimes they don't even respect format query parameters and just use whatever's in your Accept headers. Will say though that it's not universal, it depends heavily on the corner

There's more on Instagram than photos. Lotta meme pages, lot of people just uploading random screenshots and photos they downloaded that have been turned over a million times. Heck, all it takes is someone downloading their own photo f

Sometimes respected, largely ignored. URLs very often don't map directly to files served.

Indeed, why might one upload a photo to the web in a format made for distributing images on the web?

App support has very little to do with the operating system. OSes by and large will preview it just fine.

Often when you're calling something "manual" you're taking something off the automated happy path to tediously and slowly wind the thing through its complex process by hand. The difference between manual coding and human

No, the control group was instructed to "use any methods they would typically employ at home." So ChatGPT is no better than WebMD.

Not good at all. It's not a strong enough signal. For instance, LLMs are absolute dogshit at completing Gleam, even if given files with the exact pattern they need to mimic just lines away, or given explicit instructions on common mist

Sure, they have a legitimate function. So do ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. But they exist in a very particular and not-at-all reputable advertising niche. One that is noteworthily and heavily represented here. An hour is a significant

As long as they all finish their jobs in time, they shouldn't run any slower at all. They run, they complete, they wait for the next frame. If resources are constrained enough to shrink that wait to 0 or below, then yes, everything slo

Sure. Things change over time. Is there a reason to believe they'd be different in such a way that this would be more useful than in today's landscape? I haven't seen such a forecast myself.

I think it'd even be easier to coerce standard autocomplete into demonstrating Turing completeness. And without burning millions of dollars of GPU hours on training it.

Why do you believe that is the case? Aren't standard, naturally-occurring social media echo chambers far more likely?
