    LOL The world has always be run by oligarchs, and nothing changed since ten thousands of years. Most people today on this planet are still slaves.

    No, they fail all the time. You just don't notice all the bullshit if you're not already an expert in the field you generate LLM output for.

    Comment #49172490

    For anything where "the answer" wasn't already in the training data you just get some arbitrary correlated tokens out, as that's all a LLM can do. Of course the meaning of these to…

    That's some of the most weird anthropomorphization of a next token predictor I've read in a while… This things output token which are correlated with the context given. That's all!…

    I've said I'm not sure about the validity of that reasoning. I've liked it nevertheless for context, as augmentation to parent's post.

    Exactly! Completely new languages without large amounts of reference material are terrible for LLMs.

    Or it's just some AI brain fart… The whole things looks vibe-coded, and vibe-designed.

    That's in large parts Scala. It doesn't have Hindley-Milner type inference, but it has very strong type inference. We will get linearity soon thanks to and as part of the Capybara[…

    Why would you need "header files" when a LSP server can give you just the outline of some file?

    Why would anybody use a vibe-coded and vibe-desinged language which effectively does not exist yet instead of an established one with such features, like Scala? https://arxiv.org/h…

    Wasn't that legalize the reason Gram got created? https://gram.liten.app/

    Yeah, that's great! Imagine we would download random code from the internet and just execute it, like with NPM, PIP, Maven, Cargo etc.

    How about SELinux, like on Android?

    Will this continue like that even when the prophesied Mythos Vulnocalypse hits the Kernel? This stance doesn't seem sustainable any more to me.

    The "quality" Apple delivers is by now a complete joke. It's going south since over a decade, and this never stopped. It's like that because people are still buying. Even for the r…
