    Millions were invested in this project where they fired the expensive experts (me included) and replaced with a small army of cheap devs (which was actually more expensive and less…

    If you don't human review anything and no human reads the codebase guess what I could do hundreds of PRs in an hour and appear the most productive while not doing any real work at …

    Intelligence is the complete opposite of an LLM. Usually the more you needed to memorize to do something the less intelligent you were considered. It was also not considered to be …

    Yeah that's why all models are wrong and everything ultimtately comes down to intution like supreme court's I know it when I see it. It's just that intuition doesn't scale and a lo…

    In frontend it's coupling everything to specific backend urls and it's literally billion times worse. People fire up a frigging headless browser and set up backend servers to test …

    If you live paycheck to paycheck and then get a 25% salary increase, if everything else stays the same, in a year you have already saved 300% worth of your original salary vs 0%. T…

    Who is creating business critical function on top of something that is for entertainment purposes only (all providers have equivalent clauses)? AI tools and shovel sellers don't co…

    TVs for consumers are sold at loss and the TV companies are making money with data and ads. I guess the real price is 5-10x of what you pay. So only 10-20x more expensive for more …

    I mean you probably cannot even do 284882 * 282817374 in your head, let alone billions of matrix multiplications so that argument doesn't make sense. If you used a trillion square …

    Another way to put it: Things that should be tightly coupled but are not is preferable to things that should not be tightly coupled but are. I agree especially because coupling thi…

    Bigger models that Antrophic want to sell cost disproportionately more (e.g. 100% more cost for 5% performance improvement) than small models you would use locally

    65-70% "programmers" never wrote code in the first place. Before AI cargo culters just copy pasted code from tutorials, stack overflow, github and so on. With AI they merely contin…

    You know in the future they are just going to say it's different this time right?

    They are not actually driverless, they have remote human operators for the edge cases.

    I am on a flagship samsung that runs for example the Red Alert 2 browser port well. OP is just pushing slop, the 80% part anyone gets for free. (well 20 bucks)

    Yes, the first 80% of a subject is repeated everywhere (including all the misconceptions) and you cannot go deeper except if you got very lucky like found a 5 year old youtube vide…

    I didn't even have to play. Immediately after opening, some notification about rotating my phone is obscuring the instructions and I cannot read them.

    What does "writes X% of code" even mean? I use AI to generate code very rarely (basically replacing searching code from SO which was also rare) yet maybe 90-95% of my code is machi…

    More is not more after a certain point. Even without AI it was already way too cheap to produce software and we built way too many things that should not be built because it wasn't…

    What on earth is this. Literally the only thing that matters is are there more bugs after AI written code is allowed into the codebase at all. We all know the answer to that lol. B…

    It isn't about small or big, it's about cohesion of the changes. I prefer a big feature to be one big PR rather than a lot of small ones. We had a dev do a big feature with a ton o…

    You are asking the wrong question. It's not about if you can do X which can be faked especially if you are given practically infinite tries and all failures are hidden. The people …
