During the court proceedings, the defense attorney had to explicitly ask him out for her.

Is that just a fusor? Because it looks a lot like the one in my garage, but shinier.

I agree that this could be helpful for finally getting to that natural language programming paradigm that people have been hoping for. But there’s going to have to be something capable of logically implementing the low level code and that has to be more than just a statistical model of how people write code, as trained on a big collection of random repositories. (I’m open to being proved wrong about that!)

The 90% accuracy could just arise from the fact that the tests are against trivial or commonly solved tasks, so that the exact solutions to them exist in the training set. Anything novel will exist outside the training set and outside of the model.

Performing procedural tasks using a statistical model of our language will never be reliable. There’s a reason why we use logical and proscriptive syntax when we want deterministic outcomes.

Here, mirror it.

Germany learned that everything else they did was fine and ok, except that Jewish people are off limits.

At least now we can be confident that a law will be passed making it illegal to sell the home addresses of members of Congress. The rest of us will still be on our own.

That sounds amazing

A beautiful sight. The tech corps joined the wrong side of this afraid of their own free will. It should cost them at least a little.

Because the LLMs are now being used to vibe code themselves.

Like yeah, I’m not clicking on some random video without any context. Especially when it could usually be replaced with one well written paragraph.

This feels like orphan crushing machine material. Our society and governments are so broken that we need oligarchs to “donate” some of their pilfered loot back to achieve important goals.

The ruling class benefiting from every aspect of all of this.

Yeah, the uplifting story is that a judgmental curmudgeon is forced to interact with other local people and discovers that he had misjudged them. Maybe this experience opened his mind and he gives more people the benefit of the doubt.

I think the lesson to be learned is that everything works in the demo (except when it doesn’t), but when it’s deployed to thousands of sites by the cheapest contractors, operated by untrained and unmotivated personnel, and not calibrated or maintained over its lifetime… the reliability goes down a bit.

I’ve been happy with Fastmail.

The cost isn’t too bad at $5/mo per user.

The wildcard email thing is cool. You can use addresses like [email protected] to hand out to companies on the fly.

I may go back to hosting my own, but I have no complaints with Fastmail at all.

Upvote just for sharing the same twisted path as me.

Instead of four hours, this could have taken half an hour by properly exploring the problem and mapping out a solution first. Everyone seems to shit on drawing up an architecture first and wants to immediately start coding, but taking a little time up front to think through the problem pays huge dividends in the long run.

Onions sautéing in butter is the absolutely most fantastic smell ever.
