So, only use it for small codebases, don't use it if you value code quality or readability, and it's really good at building a CRUD app demo? I'm shocked. This is all completely new information.

If your company cares enough/will allow it, make a written policy that authors are responsible for their code and they must still meet whatever quality bar existed at your company pre-LLMs. It's awkward, but I've seen friends

Khosrowshahi is full of shit 99.9% of the time but this is one of the few, maybe only, layoff letters that actually makes sense and names specific things that seem reasonable (other than forcing RTO), and it doesn't mention AI at all,

I see this appearing in the comments of code sent to me for review every day. People have told me I'm too picky/pedantic because I ask What does this mean? Apparently the author and other reviewers are way smarter and understand

I misconstrued "new" with "this is the worst it's ever been."

If you're able to, find a random NPR broadcast from 20 to 30 years ago and marvel at how it could be replayed nearly verbatim today. "Inflation", "war in the Middle East", "Congress stalled on xyz." Even t

"B-b-but this really is new!" The USA did have a Civil War. It was so violent that it killed more Americans than all other wars combined.

The alternative is that they lay off everyone because the entire team doesn't have metrics for the work they've done. The kind of person to single someone out who hasn't been tracking their work may not be likely to just up a

He said that "People should stop training radiologists now" because there were enough radiologists already and the profession would be obsolete in the future. He said nothing about productivity or getting more work done. He said r

"At some point" Hinton said 10 years, what do you say? Could you maybe take from his prediction being wrong that you should practice some humility? Of all the pro-AI arguments people make, the "eventually it will happen"

Yelling at an animal is cruel because they can't understand you and they experience feelings. They are the exact opposite of an LLM, which you should feel fine about berating and yelling at.

The OP is literally an explanation of why you should not do this, using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English as an example of what not to do.

Agreed, I have never raged at a model until Opus 5. It's like a cocky fresh graduate who thinks everything it says is majorly profound, and if you can't keep up with its slang and jargon then that's on you . Newer models are

I haven't seen anyone stop to ask why any situation period calls for wearing a secret recording device (other than police, military, etc.)? If you want to record something without your hands, there are GoPros or small devices you c

It seems so obvious that a non-tech company can benefit hugely from AI for their bespoke use case, especially if no one in the company knew how to write code pre-AI. But it's also easy to put some planks down across a stream and call i

I still use YNAB 4 to this day on both the Android app and my desktop. Every couple of years the Dropbox sync stops working, but someone in the community fixes it and uploads an APK for others to download. It may just be that I'm used

It's kind of amazing how badly you've misrepresented Richard Sutton's position. This is the man who coined the term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_lesson .

That is not how LLMs work. It isn't some intelligence that is separate from and also contains a database of knowledge that you can prune at will.

This seems like a great insight at first but: "What was the artist trying to achieve?" How is that "disarmingly straightforward"? Does that mean it's a straightforward question for anyone to answer because it's

If you're having a manic episode or other type of mental breakdown, I hope you get help. If this is just how you typically act, and no one has told you yet, your way of communicating is bizarre and deeply off-putting. You will not be a

This is interesting, would being labelled "applied" be considered an insult to them?

Agree with you on exercise. But staring at a painting is to meditation what curls are to building your core. People all recommend the same type of meditation for a reason--so that you can close your eyes, focus on something, notice when you

It's crazy that you could actually use the excuse that since it's all vibe-coded, there's no way a human could have written it, so Anthropic bears no responsibility. Meanwhile humans can pop in and leave little morsels like t

>These AI images also add to the public mistrust of AI, a growing problem for innovation in a field that is sometimes seen as biased, opaque and extractive. Oh my, how would anyone ever have gotten that impression?!

Your instinct is correct, and in a lot of cases it's true. However, I've heard from enough doctors by now (a cardiologist, psychiatrist, and epidemiologist/former physician) that they use medical LLMs and find them extremely
