The word you're looking for is nuclear. Everywhere.

One of the claims it asks LLMs to grade is "Artificial intelligence will cause widespread job loss among software engineers."

Yea man this benchmark is really really bad.

This has been a non issue when using proper routing libraries that push history entries on the stack properly and render routes from the top of the component tree down.

You hate BAD react SPAs that break the fundamentals of how the web works. Good ones take care to not do that.

React fundamentally doesn't cause this issue either. You can use a different framework than react or even vanilla JS and still produce the same bugs.

I love Claude but I hate waiting a minute or two for any inference to start. I hope they can get their xAI capacity online ASAP and that it helps!

Alternate title: "I did not understand the current limitations of AI and assumed it could do large software design and it generated spaghetti slop"

Yea, that's why engineers are still very important for now (until models can do this type of longer term designs and stick to them).

This whole thing has just been a huge PR stunt the whole time. Even the original leak of the blog post was just more fuel to the hype.

This is such copium for AI haters. I stopped working almost any single line of code at the beginning of this year and I've shipped 3 production projects that would have taken months or years to build by hand in a matter of days.

Except none of them are open source so they don't show up in this article's metrics.

But it's fine. Keep your head in the sand. It doesn't change the once in a lifetime shift we are currently experiencing.

With my kids we did Le Robot from hugging face over the Christmas break, it was a fun project to put together the kit and get the follower arm to follow the leader. You can also train ML models with it etc https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/so101

Its top 100 or so subreddits are moderated by the same ~10 or so individuals who impose their ideological views on the subs and delete posts or ban anyone who dares challenge them.

A great example of how community moderation inevitably slides a platform to one side or the other of the political spectrum.

I honestly don't think mods on reddit should be allowed to moderate more than 1 or 2 of these top sub-reddits, this would at least force some semblance of diversity of thought on the platform.

I've been thinking about this and using Rust for my next backend. I think we still lack a true "all in one" web "batteries included" framework like Django or RoR for Rust.

Maybe someone should use AI to write the code for that...

Sugar free coke is not as bad as sugar-ful Coke but it's still bad. Many of the cheap sweeteners have been linked to cancer. They still fuck with the brain and hormones and make you want salty foods and/or more sweet tasting things.

So yea, how about drinking water as your primary source of hydration?

If you are poor, the last thing you need is Diabetes, Cancer, Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease, etc.

The problem also is there is a huge amount of fraud with SNAP with people claiming benefits for multiple people and then reselling their SNAP cards to just make cash. The people buying the endless cases of Mountain Dew often have just bought a 50% discounted SNAP card off some other person who isn't starving at all.

From the author: > at some point we started benchmarking on wikipedia-scale datasets. > that’s when things started feeling… slow.

So they're talking about this becoming an issue when chunking TBs of data (I assume), not your 1kb random string...

The sad thing is it doesn't have to be this way.

I worked on an internal tools team for a few years and we empowered engineers to fix user issues and do user support on internal support groups directly.

We also had PMs who helped drive long term vision and strategy who were also actively engaging directly with users.

We had a "User Research" team whose job it was to compile surveys and get broader trends, do user studies that went deep into specific areas (engineers were always invited to attend live and ask users more questions or watch raw recordings, or they could just consume the end reports).

Everyone was a team working together towards the same goal of making these tools the best for our internal audience.

It wasn't perfect and it always broke down when people wanted to become gatekeepers or this or that, or were vying for control or power over our teams or product. Thankfully our leadership over the long term tended to weed those folks out and get rid of them one way or another, so we've had a decent core group of mid-level and senior eng who have stuck around as a result for a good 3 years (a long time to keep a core group engaged and retained working on the same thing), which is great for having good institutional knowledge about how everything works...

So are photos that are edited via Photoshop not art? Are they not art if they were taken on a digital camera? What about electronic music?

You could argue all these things are not art because they used technology, just like AI music or images... no? Where does the spectrum of "true art" begin and end?
