Would be nice if people published the prompts, thoughts and responses of the LLMs together with the code, in order to fight against these restrictions... Instead of just publishing the final result and talking vaguely about how they prompted the LLM in a Hacker news comment or Twitter thread
If LLMs are the new compilers those are the actual source code
Yeah, I grew up poor in the 3rd world (not quite Chad level though) and even the upper class culture of my own country was almost alien for us and vice versa... Imagine the 1st world.
Yeah, as soon as you don't need children to help with your work, they don't make much sense in the capitalist individualistic society. That women still choose to do it, honestly... I see as a triumph of the human spirit
Who do you think is their perceived neighborhood in time and space?
(edit) And moreover, they still need their children to help with their work... So honestly, any analysis that doesn't take this huge confounding variable is just silly
That's not how it works. Two bodies are in thermal equilibrium if there's no heat transfer between them: that's the zeroth law of thermodynamics. If you're colder than 2.73K in deep space, you will absorb the heat from the Cosmic Microwave Background. If you're hotter, you will irradiate heat away. So it does have a temperature.
I find it amazing how much the mess that building C/C++ code has been for so many decades seems to have influenced the direction technology, the economy and even politics has been going.
Really, what would the world look like if this problem had been properly solved? Would the centralization and monetization of the Internet have followed the same path? Would Windows be so dominant? Would social media have evolved to the current status? Would we have had a chance to fight against the technofeudalism we're headed for?
I guess we'd have to see the graph with the evolution of paying customers: I don't see the number of potential-but-not-yet clients being that high, certainly not one order of magnitude higher. And everyone already knows OpenAI, they don't have the benefit of additional exposure when they go viral: the only benefit seems to be to hype up investors.
And there's something else about the diminishing returns of going viral... AI kind of breaks the usual assumptions in software: that building it is the hard part and that scaling is basically free. In that sense, AI looks more like regular commodities or physical products, in that you can't just Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V: resources are O(N) on the number of users, not O(log N) like regular software.
Yeah, for instance: even if Trump's bullying works for now, he made sure that most governments in Latin America, including right wing ones, will prioritize uncoupling the country from the US economy. Even if they won't say this quiet part out loud.
4. The community seems to have realized that untangling the mess that is building C/C++ stuff is a fool's errand and seems to mostly prefer to reimplement it in Go
