I found out that some teams at my company are doing the same thing. They’re using it to fix simple issues like exceptions and security issues that don’t need many code changes. I’d be shocked if it were any different at your friend’s company. It’s just surprising to me that that’s all he was doing?

LLMs can be very effective but if I’m writing complex code with them, they always require multiple rounds of iteration. They just can’t retain enough context or maintain it accurately without making mistakes.

Some clever context engineering can help with that, but at the end of the day it’s a known limitation of LLMs. They’re really good at doing text-based things faster than we can, but the human brain just has an absolutely enormous capacity for storing information.

There’s absolutely no way this can be effective for anything other than simple changes in each PR.

Lol. They made some “deals” based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.

By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?

If the rare earth hypothesis is true, which I personally think it is because of how many coincidences it took to make Earth habitable, then I do think they would be interested.

I mean we’d be very interested if we found another Earth-like planet with a civilization on it, so why wouldn’t aliens? Presumably any species capable of that discovery would at least have a need to pursue new knowledge, otherwise they would not be able to advance scientifically.

It’s not about humans being special at all, rather the opposite. Intelligent life is likely to share at least some things in common with us. For example it’s possible that they’re also violent assholes like we are, and destroyed their own planet, so now they a need one and we fit the bill.

If the rare earth hypothesis is false, then things simultaneously become more and less interesting. More interesting in that there’s suddenly a whole galaxy of life-rich planets to explore, less interesting in that there would be nothing rare about an Earth-like planet and aliens may be less interested in us.

But even then, I feel that someone’s going to be interested. We have millions of species on this planet and that doesn’t stop people from looking for new species.

This is the main reason I’ve never taken the Fermi paradox seriously. I know it’s only supposed to be a thought experiment, but way too many casual readers interpret it as some kind of scientific theory.

There’s no paradox at all when you consider how unlikely it is that another civilization reached the same or similar technology level as us in the exact same microscopically thin slice of time that we’ve had radio. And that’s even ignoring all the problems with detecting an alien radio signal in the first place.

It would only save you a few months

I instinctively downvoted after reading that vomit. It’s scary how many people are fooled by LLMs.

Witcher 3 is the bane of my existence at 4K. Even with DLSS it runs like ass on my 5070 ti.

The terminally online Apple cultists bully other people all the time. I mean you’re literally doing it right now while also blatantly lying about it.

Android has orders of magnitude more users than apple and the vast majority couldn’t care less what phone someone uses.
