Unless you’ve only ever used ChatGPT, you will know that LLM-produced code is not the result of a single prompt, not even a conversation, but rather a workflow that often goes as such:

  • Discuss a problem with the LLM. The LLM autonomously reads large parts of the repository you’re working in, during the discussion.
  • Ask it to write a plan. Edit the plan. Ask it about the edited plan. Edit it some more.
  • Repeatedly restart the LLM, asking it to code different parts of the plan. Debug the results. Write some code yourself. Create, rebase, or otherwise play around with the repository; keep multiple branches of potential code.
  • Go back and edit the original plan, now that you know what might work. Port some unit tests back in time, sometimes.
  • Repeat until done.

is so stupid

this is cool, but honestly, after the red hat/fedora announcement that they'll allow slop contributions, i may just try and use my phone for everything

android 16 QPR1 gets a proper desktop mode and it should get ported to grapheneos soon enough

The number one and number two most cited living scientists across all fields think scenarios like this are not only possible but likely to happen. And the average AI researcher thinks there is a 16% chance of AI causing human extinction.

assigning a number to it makes it scientific

aside/ranti wonder to what extent this bullshit works because of people's fear of math

i wish i could convince people that STEM skills are no different than a law degree, in essence


you'll meet dipshits that are excellent mathematicians and you'll meet smart people that are mediocre mathematicians. i suspect it's because people view mathematical notation as impenetrable (when that just depends on the same shit any technical writing depends on, like the writer's skill at communicating, the reader's familiarity and strength with the prerequisite material, etc.)

it's frustrating, given the number of stupid mathematicians i've met

i had a feeling about FUTO because of rossmann's involvement. became leery of him after this youtube bullshit from 2018:

Let's discuss why journalists are afraid of Elon Musk right now(and why they deserve to be)

Elon Musk wants to come up with a way to rate the credibility and accuracy of media organizations & individual journalists. This blatant misrepresentation of his words, given in the middle of this conversation, is a PERFECT example of WHY this is so badly needed in modern society.

I'm not a fan of Tesla for being, in many ways, the "Apple of cars." That being said, whether or not I like Tesla when it comes to a repair standpoint has nothing to do with the hate being thrown at Elon for something he never meant in the words he said, and is entirely separate from my agreement with him on the idea of a media credibility rating platform.

i don't think it's fair to assume that a billionaire who dresses up like a bat to extra-legally fight crime necessarily engages in shenanigans when donating a satellite to his vigilante friends

[–] Seminar2250@awful.systems 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

this reminds me of that episode of justice league unlimited where the superheroes are all on a satellite and batman says getting it built was just

a line item in the Wayne Industries R&D budget

though, to be fair, that explanation is more plausible than starcloud working

the poster is referring to the function f(z) = z^2 + 1
