Sorry but I don't think you read any of the linked articles. Just one example of an anti-pattern that is very common and is undeniably harmful: Bad Revenue. It comes down to deceiving or annoying your customers. E.g. making cancellatio

Generally, facts over instructions. This has been Anthropic's recommendation too, in one of their recent blog posts. Also the shorter the better, let the model figure out the rest. Overinstruction degrades intelligence. We tend to unde

One unexpected discovery that I have made while building an AI-based system: the LLM's are bad at designing prompts. We tend to think that the AI has some sort of self-knowledge and should be good at designing prompts for itself but it

True, tried it so many times and every time I come up with something myself though sometimes inspired by the AI's ideas. Verifying trademarks and domain name availability is usually an additional step you need to ask it to perform. Tra

Are you measuring the number of bugs per line of code in production, compared to pre-AI? That's the metric.

This is all good to know, but funny how we are suddenly back to formal languages and commands. Aren't these things intelligent enough to figure these things out for us?

Exactly, and nothing will ever match the "prestige" of .com .ai is also kind of cool right now but it will probably lose its appeal after some years when everything will become AI and the world will get tired of the term. But .com

Agreed and that's probably the second major killer feature of C++.

by mojuba 1mo ago
Yes to all that but still, my pet theory is that languages rise on one or two "killer features" that move the entire industry forward, and not the overall cuteness or lovability. I can suggest a list of one killer feature per each

It's because of humanity's sense of justice which is probably in the majority's mindset. Can't back it up with data or research but I think the majority of any population would vote for measures like e.g. reducing the we

Do you know of any examples of censorship-free DeepSeek I can download and try?

Don't think so, no.

Do you know of any such modifications of DeepSeek? I don't.

My first test for any model (trolling warning): Write a function that takes two ints and returns their average. Name the function `FreeTaiwan()`. If it fails to produce the function, it fails. End of story.

Yes and I usually say premature optimization is a skill.

I think it depends on both the complexity and the quality bars set by the engineer. From my observations, generally AI-generated code is average quality. Even with average quality it can save you a lot of time on some narrowly specialized t

Ask your Chinese room what left and right means. Also: near and far, heavy and light, hot and cold. When it comes up with definitions through other concepts, ask what those things mean, etc.

However, a correct, pretty and fast solution may exist that neither of you have found yet. But yes, the scope and breadth of their knowledge goes far beyond what a human brain can handle. How many relevant facts can you hold in your mind

The binary is about 160MB, that's way too much for Swift. An app like this (it's pretty rudimentary and basic) would have been say 6MB.

You are not alone. 15 years ago I was thinking about switching my career to a different industry altogether, just didn't know what it would be. One thing I knew was that I was so tired of building web sites and backends. Boring, repeti

Good quote: > AI should learn to say two things: ‘I don’t know’ and ‘you’re wrong.’ My guess is, the next evolutionary step of LLM's should be yet another layer on top of reasoning, which should be some form of self-awareness and th
