I have run many ad campaigns across various platforms, and I have come away with 2 main thoughts: 1. Click fraud is rampant, and the ad platforms seem to not care in the least as long as they can drain your budget. 2. The ad bidding process

which reasons?

We have had LLMs for much longer than 3 years.

I would estimate that out of every 200 lines of code that Claude Code produces, I notice at least 1 issue that would cause severe problems in production. In my opinion these discussions should include MREs (minimal reproducible examples) in

The closer you get to releasing software, the less useful LLMs become. They tend to go into loops of 'Fixed it!' without having fixed anything. In my opinion, attempting to hold the hand of the LLM via prompts in English for the &

If you are trying to build something well represented in the training data, you could get a usable prototype. If you are unfamiliar with the various ways that naive code would fail in production, you could be fooled into thinking generated

On what basis are you making that prediction?

by symfrog 7mo ago
Any sufficiently complicated LLM generated program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of an open source project.

Windows' moat was not the operating system code, but that they were able to get distribution via IBM, and then grow an ecosystem of applications that were targeted at Windows, which created a snowball effect for further applications.

Was software ever a moat? Software typically only gave companies a small window of opportunity to turn a fleeting software advantage into a more resilient moat (network effects, switching costs etc.)

In what way is the long term impact of LLMs being underestimated? If anything, it seems that it has been overestimated in the past years and that something other than LLMs will be needed to reach the original scaled LLM hope of AGI.

If only that is what investors have figured out. Unfortunately, it seems investors now think that all paid software will be replaced by AI generated software, somehow open source projects laundered through generative AI models should finall

EXWM is great, having the same flow to manage X applications as for emacs buffers is a huge benefit. My only concern is if X11 will be maintained sufficiently into the future to keep using it, currently there is no Wayland support in EXWM.

I am talking about correctness, not style, coding isn't just about being able to show activity (code produced), but rather producing a system that is correctly performing the intended task

Do you have a link to some of the code that you have produced using this approach? I am yet to see a public or private repo with non-trivial generated code that is not fundamentally flawed.

We work with LLMs on a daily basis to solve business use cases. From our work, LLMs seem to be nowhere close to being able to independently solve end-to-end business processes, in every use case they need excessive hand holding (output vali

Does Sam Altman have any relevant technical experience to make that assessment? Sounds like something someone would say that just lost their key technical team members.

Did you consider Kill Bill https://github.com/killbill/killbill ? I used it a few years ago for usage based billing.

There are active projects that I would categorize as frameworks (e.g. Fulcro)
