    These are two completely different types of mistakes. LLMs are, by now, pretty good at not making "code doesn't work" and "math doesn't work" kind of mistakes when writing code. Th…

    The article includes interactive graphs and scrolling animations that explain them, as well as data.

    By now, such things are so prevalent that I don't think it would even make the news anywhere.

    It's a form of engaging, plus it's a rant. I've yet to see good outcomes from self-infantilizing.

    It's just really hard to affirm that something has "no practical use whatsoever". Maybe it doesn't have use "now", maybe it doesn't have "direct" use but can be used for another fi…

    Yes, how does the LLM make a difference there? Inexperienced developers write bad code. Hell, experienced developers who are outside their domain write bad code too, then you later…

    It's harder to convince people to all agree on the same, different from the norm, thing. If you've got 5 people in a car and you play ABBA in every road trip, then one day you sugg…

    The "left" as in the party, sure, not that much of an authoritarian leaning. The "left" as in the pervasive group that crawled out of Tumblr, took hold of Twitter back in the day, …

    Then that's the point. You know the code sucks, the guy who vibecoded it either didn't know or didn't care. That's the added value.

    With the ruckus, I thought this would be something that was displayed in Google Earth. I can't grasp how this is an issue at all? There are other 20 services you can use to do this…

    >This is a nakedly hypocritical stance, but completely understandable from a company-needs-to-make-money standpoint. No, it's perfectly reasonable once you get down to reality. Chi…

    That "massive hack" is supposed to be one of the core features of React.

    Because without bigger players, Chinese models don't get anywhere. Playing catch-up is a radically different game.

    Because the hegemony-ensuring machine will most certainly have "prevent others from competing for hegemony" as one of the basic tenets.

    Suing is absurd as it would get nowhere, since this is China we are talking about. Now, preventing making business in the US based on those products? At this point it's hard to arg…

    Aggressive expansion of infrastructure, R&D and very volatile audiences.

    I routinely get into blocks when running medicine-related material through it.

    You've got perfectly reasonable and predictable scenarios if you read the post. CoC drama is already a much too known vector of problems, this adds fuel to possible fires.

    Well, for starters, banning content that is already present on the platform is a very aggressive measure. You are, in practice, kicking people out, and it's perfectly reasonable fo…

    Yes they only care about money. That's what corporations usually do. And I'll take that 10 times out of 10 over China's role in all of this, which is specifically to disrupt and sa…

    Would you bet money that they won't be good enough for coding in, say, one year? Just as a call to actual consideration, would that seem a smart bet to do? Because I find it really…
