    That was true until a few months ago. Now, it almost never has relevant results, and I've given up on it.

    But it genuinely doesn't require much skill. That's the main selling point, in fact. Look at the prompts used to make progress on the Riemann conjecture: https://www.anthropic.com/…

    Nah, you really just need to tell it "the program broke: ". It'll go and poke around for you just fine. Try it sometime.

    If the LLMs work as advertised, we won't need experts. Even today, with the current state of the art, we need far fewer experts. LLMs are already much better at debugging than huma…

    I'd encourage you to start referring to it that way,then.

    Did I stutter? I would like them all gone. I would like all visual elements to appear exactly in their final position and not resize, except in direct response to user interaction.…

    I'm constantly hitting the wrong button because some animation shifted it, some dialog popped over shit, or some notification decided now was a good time to cover the thing I was t…

    Check the phrase I quoted. Anyways, I guess OSX is open assembly?

    It's just about as open source as OSX, which can be downloaded zero cost here: http://updates-http.cdn-apple.com/2019/cert/061-39476-201910... I love that Apple made OSX open sourc…

    I'd kill for regular UIs that did this.

    > The more open source software out there the better. Can you explain how I'd train my own version of this, reproducing the final deliverable that runs on the gpu?

    Yeah, that's what I mean by "they're much better at reviewing and debugging than writing code". When you ask opus to review for clarity, cleanliness, and minimalism using a clean c…

    Yeah, trying too hard to guide with hard rules, instead of asking the LLM for self-review, is going to go wrong. The LLM is much better at code review than it is at writing code. U…

    As I said, feel free to experiment, I gave you some hints where to start. Or not. I don't win any prizes either way.

    Why wouldn't they be working on better harnesses? Every feature that has gotten popular has gotten integrated so far, and their product managers aren't stupid.

    Oh. So, because I said I work in software you assumed I worked in safety critical systems? Interesting. A little unhinged, but interesting. Anyways, as I said elsewhere, I don't co…

    This is all the stuff that the frontier labs are going to ship by default next year. Except for the architecture specifications, which agents can already do adequately for most sys…

    Since you apparently work on this kind of software, here's a challenge for you: take the last several bugs that were reported and paste them into Fable, pointing it at your code. H…

    Nope. I don't code for fun, and my employer will be very unhappy if I start sending people private repos.

    Making software is no longer very hard. It's becoming a few steps up from burger flipping. Maybe somewhere around line chef. There's still some skill involved, but the skill is mos…
