What LLM/harness are you using that the results are so terrible?

If your position is AI for coding is equivalent or worse than web search, I am curious how you arrived there. I could see that a few years ago, but with the state of the tooling now it is hard for me to understand.

Very cool, me too! I've been working on Final Fantasy Legend (Game Boy and WonderSwan Color) and King's Bounty (PC - DOS). It's great for reversing. Really interesting to see the guts of the games, including bugs.

I'm curious about this as well. I use Java quite a bit and I feel like my results are excellent, but colleagues who use other languages are less impressed. I wonder if this is because Java is more amenable to agentic workflows, or th

Certainly looks that way to me.

I can't be bothered to read a website that is so clearly AI generated with little to no polishing. What does that say about the rest of the project?

It's understood that LLMs have limitations and people are working on "the next thing" to try and make it to real AGI, e.g. Yann LeCun.

To me, the idea is that you have something in your head and you want to "project" it into reality. I suppose the difference between makers and producers then is that makers happen to enjoy the labor part of that projection, while

Yes - the JdbcClient API has a similar feel for sure. If you are using Spring, it is a better choice than Pyranid because it integrates well with the Spring txn plumbing. Outside of Spring, I think Pyranid has a lot of advantages.

If you use Java and like to write SQL, check out https://pyranid.com I stopped using ORMs around 2008 because they made the easy problems easier and the hard problems harder. I wanted to just write SQL and exploit all the power

I did not really understand CORS until I sat down and wrote a server implementation of it and had to think hard about "what hooks should be exposed to developers for controlling it?" Most of us I think just "expose a set of w

There is no public-facing continuations API afaik. Structure concurrency/virtual threads seem like a good fit for Swing; just have your event handler fire off virtual thread[s] and do your work and call SwingUtilities.invokeLater to sc

I like the fluent API - this looks like a much better way to work with ResourceBundle types than Java's out-of-the-box support. Thanks for sharing.

by revetkn 9mo ago
In my experience, LLMs are terrific for most translation tasks, but you still need a way to encode the data (rules for genders, cardinalities, ordinalities, ...) for storage on disk/database/etc. for 1. performance and 2. consiste

My project, Lokalized (from 2017, in Java), has the same goal but took a different approach to the "little language" design. I'm guessing I had the same inspiration as the Fluent authors - existing solutions were just not exp

> Is cognition a set of weights on a gradient? Cognition involves conscious reasoning and understanding. What is your definition of _conscious reasoning and understanding_?

by revetkn 4y ago
That's how I view it as well, from an end user perspective this is removing an arbitrary rule that you're required to "just memorize" (or be surprised when your IDE complains).

Totally agree, and I also love that so much thought and consideration goes into how the platform gets improved over time. Doing it "right" means taking so many things into account -- many of which are subtle -- and picking the ri

Maybe, but the last straw for me on that platform was preventing tweets from linking to arbitrary, non-doxxing Mastodon profiles (try it and see). I tested it to confirm and deactivated my account afterwards. Who would want to be on a socia

Both Java. Pyranid - https://www.pyranid.com I prefer SQL to ORMs and I don't like libraries with dependencies. Really simple mapping of resultsets to Java objects. Plays nicely with DI (I like Guice a lot). Lokalized - ht
