ng is a prodigious talent (and was a great professor in my experience), but… this is really quite, quite smelly.

i read this before the article and thought “alright it can’t be that bad”… honestly, you are letting them off easy. it’s like pedantry, but the dunning-kreuger kind.

people who throw out “x is a fallacy” very seldom have anything interesting to say, and this point is no different. the thing is not released yet. there does not exist any easy way…

i blinked. did i miss the part where this post had any content beyond the title calling it a “myth”?

wow those passes are absolutely gorgeous. no wonder to ias frere-jones is keen on them.

yeah, the urge to turn this page into a skill and then just let it run loose on all my random vibe-coded side projects is very, very strong. seems great for that kind of thing.

wow this is such an excellent framing of something that i have not managed to think about or come across in the vast ocean of discourse about LLMs. i had not really thought about h…

ya im partial to oracle.ts xD

"LLMs are just fancy autocomplete" xD

trying to get off vaping, myself, and it is both "not that hard" and... a very sticky habit. good for you. was never a smoker, but that doesn't make it a good habit.

yeah, they say stuff like this to humans all the time to motivate them xD

hahahah yeah my company had sooooo many issues with this stuff and merge queue lately

surely this is closer to the common experience with LLMs... i don't know how people don't see it for the miracle it is. it's like if God himself came down from the heavens and said…

well, they were 0x productive before, so they are technically inifinitely x more productive now. i guess. hah.

that's a great point. i personally am toward the "i go to sleep and it does my work for me" side, but share the same confusion about how we went from 100x-0.1x programmers to 10000…

everyone sure acts like postgres is some sort of thing that we discovered next to the antikythera mechanism on the sunken isle of atlantis. the "just get one big machine to do all …

i can't wait for that one haha

that and 2x is "i'm 5'10" and i round up to 6'" low.

wow this looks incredible. love learning about this kind of stuff— no shortage of clever ideas just waiting out there in the ether for someone to make work!

it is kinda mystifying bc from what i understand their engineering ethos is very much "if it's not working, just regenerate it" (which i completely understand).

sometimes compaction is a death knell and other times it's totally fine. it really just depends on whether the thing you were doing at the very end has high correlation with stuff …
