    I did not mean to offend, and only made the assumption for the stated reason. Apologies!

    I'm going to assume you are a product manager, or someone who does not do the actual software development. The place where you draw the line of abstraction, is what I'm basing that…

    I am not sure if the absurdity of that statement is intentional, or a result of just how far the Overton window has drifted. First of all, private companies shouldn't be given that…

    How much of that is just pattern recognition? I dislike AI because the result has consistently been bad. The most enthusiastic AI co-workers are producing garbage at a 100x rate, w…

    Skimmed through, and it sort of confirms my own experience: when a problem isn't approached with an engineering mindset, the resulting work also doesn't qualify as engineering. The…

    What do you mean by C compiling in O(1)? Is that what the LLM told you?

    As someone who's had to deal with a fair share of these types of sentiments, they have been, without exception, based on incompetence, and demonstrably wrong. That isn't to say tha…

    The insufferable part is not letting you disable it.

    If LLMs have tough me anything, is that the average person is far more gullible than what I could have imagined.

    CTRL+F for LLM, check. This is the litmus test for knowing this will fail since those involved have the wrong priorities.

    AlphaFold is not an LLM. As such, it isn't a fitting example for "good news" related to LLMs.

    Or, the wolf is just a squeeky toy.

    Hm. Is HN starting to become more skeptical of LLMs? For the past couple of years, HN has seemed worryingly enthusiastic about LLMs.

    Rule 1 seems similar to Donald Knuths "premature optimization" from 1974. > Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical p…

    Seems like open source is the way to defeat this. Anyone can easily create a competing service, which they then have to buy out, but the cost of setting up a new one is minimal. In…

    I was somewhat surprised to find that the differentiator isn't being smart or not, but the ability to accurately assess when they know something. From my own observations, the type…

    I think that AI is a benefit for about 1% of what people think it is good for. The remaining 99% had become a significant challenge to the greatest human achievement in distributio…

    Answer is useful as a suggestion, and doesn't need to be factually correct: Good Answer is useful as is, and needS to be factually correct: Bad

    You are exactly right. I think I was tired and simply misread. Thanks for clarifying. Between [3] and [4] I added an assumption, without basis, of implied agency by [1].

    Not sure how bad it could be given the hypothetical "millions of years more technologically advanced". They'd need to have a pretty good reason to care about us. Otherwise, we'd be…

    Don't know what the prior extreme apple is alluding to here. But, apple marketing is what it is.

    First I hear about Debian on pixel phones with graphene. Do you have a link to information on this?

    Whataboutisms aren't all the great you know. Google and MS also get flak, and they also deserve it. But now that we're talking about these differences, I'd say that Apple users are…
