Maybe it's not an obvious direct connection, but in general good artists seem to get more action than the average person.

> LLMs need to consume more good human-written Ruby code. You might already have seen the problem here.

You might already have _been_ the problem here.

Fixed that typo ;)

I came in expecting the highest voted comment to be that this was some kind of marketing (which I disagree with). I'm glad your comment was what I saw first.

Wouldn’t that mean producing novel work like relativity and QED?

So the (eastward) flight path isn't over populated land. Rapid disassembly and all that.

That’s no…oh wait, yes it is.

The premise of the article is that everyone has access to the “same tools” but that’s glossing over the specialization inherent in a specific expert’s harness config (memories, skills, rules, repos, etc) that produce actually helpful responses (eg engineer’s view vs product manager’s view).

64 karma requirement? Pfft. I’d go to a 1k min karma meetup tho ;)

Does it do flowcharts and arch diagrams? Doesn’t seem like it.

I don't know why exactly, but Fable has felt the most human LLM to arrive.

I have severe sleep apnea as well as insomnia. I may also be a multi-phasic sleeper. In any case my average sleep per night is ~3.5 hours with only ~1.5 hours of deep sleep. I use light therapy, CPAP, medications, etc but none of it solves my problems. I started taking creatine daily a couple of months ago. I've noticed a significant uptick in my cognitive abilities, despite being constantly sleep deprived. TFA doesn't touch on this apparent benefit of creatine, so thought I'd mention it for others who might be suffering from similar sleep issues.

After we get through this slop phase, I think software engineering won’t be about code at all, if it even exists as a profession. Feels like the beginning of the end for the craft.

All of human technology resulted from human brains, which are non-deterministic at the level you're talking about, right?

I have the opposite feeling; I am liking Rust more and more and thinking most of the world's C code should be rewritten. It seems like a sweet spot of enforced memory safety, performance, and human/agent readability.

Are you sure "education" doesn't actually mean "ideology"?

It's both!

Ah, the old days of shareware on floppies. My brother and I loved Apogee games.

This produced a disturbing mental image.

Whenever I see Vimeo in a headline, it reminds me of my lack of foresight. In college, the creator of Vimeo was in my friend group. I went to his on-campus apartment to pick him up for a party once. He showed me this "video sharing website" that he was working on. Its title was an anagram of "movie." This was in 1999. Digitized video was barely a thing. I looked at it, didn't understand how it would be useful, and assumed it was another one of his eccentric creative outlets that would go nowhere. A few years later, he was a multimillionaire and I was not.

"You're right for pointing this out. Honestly, your comment raises a real concern — they genuinely RL'd that over the top." - Claude

I've started feeling slightly physically ill when I read Opus output for hours straight. This article rings very true for me. I've started complaining about it with my team; at least have a personal style guide in your agent rules that eliminates emdashes, the "it's not X, it's Y"s, the long lists of modifiers before the noun, using the word "land" to mean finish, etc. I hope this is just a phase of adolescent LLMs.

Can you respect folks who are treating mental/emotional pain or just physical?

Why disconcerting?

I think by colloquialism you mean extreme exaggeration. Maybe check word definitions before using them if you don’t know. The last sentence would have been omitted had you not thrown the “familiar with language” shade.

77% != 9 out of 10 and 5 != dozens. Seems like you’re doing a good job of disproving your own exaggerated claims.

> Human-Centered

If this is supposed to be human-centered, why isn't it .human? I assume there will be many agents with their own ".self" domains that have very little human oversight.

When AI is ready, it won’t need to grep at all. That is, it will train on the data in-situ instead.

Not necessarily. Consider a human assistant who performs repetitive tasks at an acceptable cost and accuracy while dealing with edge cases often autonomously.
