Its like someone reheating frozen food and saying I cooked it and they have not eaten it themselves and want me to buy it.

if its so critical then how about donating money and letting the maintainer decide where to spend it.

> Master your craft. Don’t guess, know.

what you are suggesting would be like a truck company using trucks to move things within the truck

algorithms are tools. like in any field every professional is supposed to be aware of "the basic standard tool set", what a good implemenation of a tool supposed to be like (i should be able to assess if a hammer is broken or good for use if i am civil engineer, or piano if i am a musician). it does not mean they should be able to "create that tool from scratch".

knowing the tools will only benefit you irrespective of your employer or other tools in town. (llm is also a tool, ides are tools, libraries are tools, design patterns is a tool)

once upon a time 'engineering' in software had some meaning attached to it...

no other engineering profession would accept the standards(or rather their lack of) on which software engineering is running.

> She had no intention to misquote or misrepresent the rulings and that "the mistake occurred solely due to the reliance on an automatic source", the high court wrote

I don't think the intention matters here. Its the same deal with every profession using llm to "automate" their work. The onus in on the professional, not the llm. Arstechnica case could have been justified by same manner otherwise.

Not knowing the law isnt execuse to break law, so why is not knowing the tool an excuse to blame the tool.

devnagri in the screenshot is wrongly rendered.

Also can you share some names of films you have been part of as film director.

> This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation.

All my vibe coded projects are human directed, unless explicitly stated otherwise

can vouch for SeaweedFS, been using it since the time it was called weedfs and my managers were like are you sure you really want to use that ?

Fair enough. I did not see this as a promotion of the product and more of as a show experimental side project. But if they really want to promote the product, the llm design isnt helping giving any confidence. A blog post would have sufficed.

Why does LLM generated websites feel so "LLM generated".

Its like a bootstrap css just dropped. People still giving "minimum effort" into their vibe code/eng projects but slap a domain on top. Is this to save token cost ?

And now Perplexity has mailed all of those "free" users to add a "card" (wont charge now) to continue with its free pro offer. Apart from airtel perplexity ran a lot of college based programs where students were basically referring each other for money.

Well the "software" folks started it, I met a full stack engineer the other day, that word used to have some meaning as well.
