I see you're conflating utter mediocrity with systemic idiocy

It was obvious this would happen. I am working on an agentic sdlc with git as the vcs and the idea that you have to pool agents together to avoid cloning ended up looking like an unwanted limitation.

But if the AI has a blindspot then they will fail hard since they rely on the LLM for everything.

That would benefit the general public with no hope of high margins. VCs don't care about that stuff.

We could put comments in separate files with an annotation format. For example: ion.cpp.cmt And autoremove all comments from source files. Then use plug-ins to toggle comment files within the text editor.

Congrats, you've shown that fast models are currently not reliable. Next.
Hey really cool. Am proficient in Rust if you need any help.

Smaller cities, human size, humans closer to nature, robots bring stuff from factories by driving. Done
That tells you AAPL didn't have the staff necessary to make this happen.

Or rather, all the people who do it, like to pretend that everyone else does.

What this boils down to, is that we live in the civilisation of the image, where image is the most important thing. So now, for authenticity, you constantly have to look past and ignore the bs.

Llms are not a magic wand you can wave at anything and get your work cut out for you. What's new ?
Re:FireDucks: Pandas but 100x Faster on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @11:30PM (#42201136)
It'll be polars and datafusion for me thanks
Re:Building Databases over a Weekend on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @11:10PM (#42201022)
I remember 2 years ago someone proposed adding stream processing in datafusion and PRs followed. But IMO stream processing is an entirely different beast, some people could use the sql engine of df for it though. There are rust projects like Arroyo

Sharing a few of my own :

        pr = pull --rebase
I'd advise binding things like pr, po, cp, --rebase, --continue, to keyboard shortcuts though if you are in an IDE.
I think you need some kind of autocomplete here to make it worthwhile
Why is the level so low in software engineering in general? Well, at least I know I'll never be out of a job.
Ok so LLM bots are on HN now... scary

Yeah I already know about Polars, good and lightweight but datafusion is more advanced

Re:Pandas 2.0 and the Arrow revolution on Tuesday February 28, 2023 @12:01PM (#34971707)
Pandas is still way too slow, if only there was an intégration with datafusion or arrow2
