good engineer + llm = good engineer. bad engineer + llm = bad engineer.

If you look at antiwar.com, we seem to be in the throes of World War.

I'm not policing, I didn't flag it; but for the same reasons you mentioned it's an interesting transition to observe. Also, when writers use llms to do their writing, it gets injec…

I'm reading two books right now: Stefan Zweig's World of Yesterday and Ulrich Gutmair's First Days of Berlin. The similarities to the current state of US are eerie as hell.

There's a lot of em dashes in the article as well, along with some phrasing that is very LLM. I think this was written with a mix of LLM and human.

Love this idea. I agree with the other comment that its not filtering well, but i hope you can get it dialed in. Sometimes hackernews feels like the drive into SF. Just bombarded w…

Wow we just had a post on here a couple weeks ago about Jeff Dean supporting dissident voices at Google.

That's fine but not entirely what I'm trying to understand. There is an aspect of it that connects back to the Qanon mentality of having insider information and a level of expertis…

Anyone have insight into the overlap of techies and armchair military experts? Every thread like this ends up overflowing with comments like "Let me explain to you what's really ha…

> we are teaching robots intelligent whole-body control, fine dexterity, *and teamwork*... That's the most Skynet thing ever.

always a good day when we get an a post on front actually related to hacking on hackernews.

How many times can we have the same discussion.

I think a lot are also opting for startups. I think the number of million dollar value start ups is up quite a bit right now. That h1b prisoner comment is starrrrrk (and true to my…

How old is your mother? Iirc PSEN1 correlates to very early AD, like late 30s early 40s. My dad had full blown AD at 65, with serious cognitive decline starting at 63, and that fel…

The tech co I work for just massively scaled token usage after the copilot price changes. If there was a chance for ai to replace anyone, it's gone now.

This is funny, i get it; but the idea that using LLM's precludes thinking is silly. We're doing some heavy lifting over here. There's a lot of noise around pie in the sky ai show n…

This also reflects the failings of the teachers to teach in a way that is conducive to learning given the current cultural landscape.

It's wild; at my shop in Silicon Valley they dropped us from unlimited use to 60% prem budget on copilot. People are walking around like zombies.

Yea, math is a crazy thing. just "a tool to solve problems" is a wild take. On one extreme, there's an edgy but logical / plausible hypothesis that we live in a universe of mathema…

Man, I just got into a killer flow with it, minimal guardrails, having it doing lots of independent work all the way to task completion, and my company dropped our prem token allow…

I've been telling less experienced engineers: The moment you hit submit on your change, it is your code not claudes, you wrote it, you are responsible for: understanding it, explai…

There's tons of things I like about llm's, but I'm sick of Ai show'n tells. It feels like I'm in kindergarten.

"One of the things that LLMs do is plagiarism as a bigger scale."

Ah, I'm one of the outliers, I have more friends now and a richer, healthier social life than I've ever had before. I'm 45, I do have a 7yo kid and wife, two dogs, a full time job,…
