I get burnout from frustration when the LLM just can't follow instructions.
Like when I'm trying to get it to create an image, and the first pass is beautiful, but ten different request to modify it, with different phrasing and even example images, produce the same image ten times.
Or when you tell it not to use a cheap hack in AGENTS.md about six different ways and in your prompt, and it still does it again, and again.
It's like arguing with an idiot. And THAT gives me burnout.
Also: I've never once seen an emoji in LLM output. What are people talking about?
Not an area I'm familiar with, but do the chips really handle up in the gigabit IO? I thought they just handle connection setup. I had thought the gigabytes were not processed at all by the chips. They just flow through the wires.
A more likely explanation has to do with the economics of ink jet printers. The ink sales are so profitable that HP and other manufacturers subsidize their printers. This leads to prices at or near cost.
Since Ali express vendors can't count on follow on ink sales, they can't compete on price. And competing on price is Ali express's reason for existence.
So, ink jet printer are harder to find on Ali express. At least, low end consumer focused ink jet printers.
Laser printers, which aren't subsidized are common
We need to stop pretending the VC valuations are meaningful.
It's like asking someone playing roulette to value "13 black", after they bet on it.
There valuations are always based on expectations of huge growth, not current value. Growth predictions with an extremely low confidence level. VCs make up for it by making a lot of bets.
The companies NEVER have current profits (The actual measure of value) that would justify their valuation.
So, it's comparing gambling payouts to corporate valuations, aka "apples to oranges", which are not related.
When the predicted growth doesn't occur, the companies valuation becomes based on its actual value (profits).
Yeah, test prep was considered more for people who were worried about low scores. 1500 vs 1600 wouldn't make much difference in college admissions at that point.
I somehow doubt that the people that would ask for SAT scores would actually be the sort to think about how those numbers should most effectively be used.
Everything the parent comment mentioned were implementation details that did not affect the correctness of the code.
I just wanted to point out that there are implementation details that DO affect the correctness of the code.
And, of course programs need to run on multiple architectures. So it's hard to do what people seemed to be talking about in this thread and verify code just from the source code.
If you have the luxury of proving the correctness of the CPU, compiler and OS, that should be a big win. Otherwise, it seems to just be another type of testing. Still useful, but calling it verified or proven seems a bit much.
From my perspective, it seems more to be writing another, more complicated program, with more opportunities for bugs, and seeing if the results agree
