Just so everyone who reads this understands; despite the criticism in this comment, it's being incredibly charitable to LLMs in the context of making games. They're not particularl…

People who don't know things are usually very impressed by solutions that LLMs come up with. I saw one recently that was very impressed that their chosen LLM took screenshots of th…

There's also the fact that it's basically vibecoded.

Yes, I always use `du . -h 2>/dev/null | sort -k1hr | head -nN` where that last N is however many directories I want to show. I run this regularly and have for a very long time pre…

$ ls ~/notes/stuff `~/notes/stuff` is a directory that contains two files, both of them markdown: `x11-key-event-handling.md` and `x11-resources.md`. These seem like good files; I …

Honestly, I wasn't harsh enough... Though I don't think I could write a better post showing how useless your opinion on things actually is than the one you wrote yourself. And no, …

Well, yeah, it's just good marketing and Bun ultimately doesn't matter anyway, not to the wider ecosystem and especially not to Anthropic. The only purpose Bun had for Anthropic wa…

I haven't even stated whether I agree with the opinion that Zig is worth it, in fact I do think Zig is worth it for a large set of problems and I wrote Zig for years, I am stating …

You, by your own admission, haven't even written a single line of Zig despite having ~31 Zig projects on GitHub. I don't think your knowledge of the language is to be trusted in al…

Both of these are near useless for systems programming and predictable behavior when caring about performance.

Do you have any sources for the claim that LLMs meaningfully help in the production of LLMs?

Not really. I have one I made for fun where I let LLMs control a text editor called Kakoune, and then give them no other way to do things, to see how they deal with it, but that's …

I saw someone on lobste.rs proudly say that they haven't written a line of Zig code in their life. They have 31 Zig repositories on GitHub. GitHub is useless at this point. (As you…

Open Source is the company takeover of the good that Free Software represents, I don't really see it as a "movement" by people. It's set up precisely to exploit the people for free…

I'm not really commenting on that, I just want to remind people that Open Source is highly overrated and should not be looked at as a point in favor of a company .

Corporate open-source (Open Source) is done for free labor and PR, it shouldn't be bonus points for any company that does it, unless they commit to it and pay their contributors, h…

I suspect we agree more than our comments make it seem. There are code generation use cases that make sense for LLMs to do, I'm already with you on that, and I suspect that your si…

If your "disposable scripts" require large-scale code generation, they're probably not "disposable" or "scripts".

Anyone who heavily uses LLMs for their work is pretty obviously ill-equipped for their work, and likely getting even worse at it with time, yes. You can throw around as many "thing…

That's a dumb way to do it, it should just write the frame buffer to a PNG instead of taking screenshots. I guess you can't take the dumb web developer ways out of these models at …
