    "The oral system scales poorly. One examiner can only hear so many students in a day." I'm not joking: you could have an AI quiz the students and test their understanding. That way…

    Yeah I'm not sure what happened but Reddit in particular is beyond saving, and I'm not saying it was ever great. I think we simply don't know how to create online communities that …

    Yes I am, which is why I said that, its much easier to automate over the chaos with a coding agent than with a script. They are still far from doing anything productive on their ow…

    Yes but science is well-structures and practically designed about repeatability so its a lot easier to automate than "softer" disciplines.

    Looks interesting. But does anyone really like the useState useContext etc. React model? Might as well make a better one if you are going to be compiling no?

    No that's not what I meant, I meant exactly what I said above.

    Thanks a lot for sharing! I'll try the discussion to unpack context, that sounds interesting. I end up having such discussions in separate chats anyways to understand what's happen…

    I think you are correct, its so hard to judge the quality of research that we have been using publication record/count as a proxy. Ultimately, having papers being easy to write is …

    My 2 cents: AI has improved writing considerably for non-native english speakers (in particular China). Writing feels more standardized/boring but easier to read overall. I hit few…

    Interesting. Framing it as 1x to infinity-x matches my experience too. I've have good success with it reproducing papers with existing code, but not such much with one-shotting new…

    Surprisingly good answer from Claude here... Boringly so.

    Apologies I misremembered and confused Pro with Plus.

    Pro is 10$ a month. You get what you pay for lol.

    Well, that statement wasn't meant to be taken literally. Maybe not the best wording, given the context...

    "completely meaningless" "the only purpose" There's some kernel of truth to what you are saying, but hyperboles like this just aren't accurate. All statistics lie but its better th…

    I'm confused as well, could someone who knows how TUIs work explain what's the point of React-style diffing in this context? I thought you need to clean and full redraw if anything…

    Its completely pointless yet I still want it. IDK, its the status lights that look fun.

    This feels mistaken; we develop abstract objects i.e. graphs based on real-world utility or whatever. As we try to improve our understanding of graphs, we value proofs that help us…

    I would assume/hope they had someone verify it before publishing

    Comment #48864392

    You seem to be suggesting that it is just as hard to understand an existing proof to a problem, than to solve it yourself? I don't follow your argument at all, what are you trying …

    Just to share my perspective, I have not had this much fun programming as when I first learned to code. It's really something you have to try for yourself to actually understand. I…

    I wasn't clear enough, I was replying to "you'll be the one selected, out of millions laid off," in context I meant "mass layoff" as in "95% of everyone is out of a job permanently…

    Current SOTA is far past "agressive autocomplete" at this point, more like ask for a PR for a small feature and its done... I guess for me the fun is you can build a lot yourself, …

    Perhaps its the apprehension/anxiety that makes it feel bad then? I like coding (building things) and couldn't care less about businesses, and am having a great time. In the curren…
