- My favorite form is when someone shouts "concurrency" in the middle of the sentence.
- Isn't data entry a really good usecase for the LLM technologies? Of course depending on the exact usecase. But most "data entry" jobs are data transformation jobs and they get automated using ML techniques all the time. Current LLMs are really good at data transformation too.
- I grew up on the borland Turbo series. Learned C then C++ on it. Such nostalgia.
I was wondering, is there a way to get VS code to look like this? Maybe neoVim?
- What difference does it make how many people use it? Complex software exists all over the world for handful of users. I personally work in an industry where anything we create will be used by at max 100 people worldwide. Does it diminish the complexity of code? I think not.
- > #3: Limit what they test, as most LLM models tend to write overeager tests, including testing if "the field you set as null is null", wasting tokens.
Heh, I write this for some production code too (python). I guess because python is not typed, I'm testing if my pydantic implementation works.
- The way you have discounted Wozniak's talent, one can also discount Steve's ambition. There are thousands of people same or more ambitious than Jobs. Being ambitious doesn't guarantee anything, neither does being as good as wozniak only work when combined with ambition.
- My guess would be local AI. Apple Silicon is uniquely suitable with its shared memory.
- Yes precisely what I am trying to say. This is not an outcome of technology, its an outcome of how our socio-economic system is set up. The company owners could have easily given you the benefit of technology improvement, made a 3 day work week or made a 4 hour work day and hired more people or reduced their own ambitions. Instead they chose to squeeze everything out of you.
- Improved productivity is reduced work. We dont have to work the same hours. Labor doesn't always have to relent.
- Maybe this will help public realize they don't hate AI, they hate current form of capitalism. It took something which reduces work and made it a bad thing.
- /s/ is kind of a skeuomorph for me. I have never used sed but I understand this syntax.
- When was the last instance of this in the last 100 years?
- French revolution I can still see as consequences but Bolsheviks just took land and gave it to the new nobelity (the state).
- Yeah but that is true for any form of interview, if there is a leet code problem set it's the same no? So is if they ask you to write a few answers down in a form.
- I hate useless excessive interview processes as much as the next guy, but all the things you've said would be true for any form of interview. You'll not get you time back and you could have been using it in many other ways. The company could still ghost you too. You said nothing which was exclusive to an AI interview.
- Please give me an example of what happens.
Edit: before someone throws very strong platitudes at me again, I would like to see real-world examples. Because at least in my lifetime there have been zero consequences for people in power.
Edit 2: I've been banned from replying to this thread (lol, talk about power of the state). I guess I didn't define my acceptance criteria properly. But I thought it would be clear that the goal should be uplifting everyone not just shift the money around to someone else. That is what most of the revolutions mentioned in the replies are.
- This isn't a fully formed thought, but could this be mitigated by giving LLMs your opinions? I am using copilot in more of a pair programming manner and for everything I want to make I give a lot of my opinions in the prompt. My changes are never too large though, a hundred lines of diff at most.
- Slightly funny in light of this https://www.catherinejue.com/fast
- > It really isn't very likely that anyone will ever publish a computer science paper as impactful as Dijkstra's go-to-statement thing.
Ok, disclaimer that I am not a computer scientist (work in semiconductors so only tangentially related). But, this statement has the same "end of history" energy has the famous Philipp von Jolly quote about end of theoretical physics:
"In this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few holes."
I'm not claiming you are saying its end of CS, just the claim that there cannot be a new paradigm discovered in CS doesn't sit right with me.
At that point why even have a journal, let's just put everything as a Reddit post and be done with it. We will get comment abilities for free.
Maintaining quality standards is a good service, the journal system isn't perfect but its the only real check we have left.
