This is one of those foods in my world which just kind of “exists” without consideration that it’s actually eaten by some people as a preference. Other candidates include: Campbells tomato soup, pork rinds, and ranch dip.
Two of these things are not like the others. Pork rinds and ranch both vary in quality from mass produced crap that I would actively avoid to delicious products that I would seek out. In particular a really tangy buttermilk ranch (or even a really lemony ranch) with lots of black pepper and freshly minced herbs is supremely tasty.
i was living in the same country with him, but i did not get any political context back then. my brain was washed by propaganda of ussr, usa and eu, and in state general ignorance of well fed burgeosy.
now i see how bad things going to north korea scenario.
so what is better to live 4 generations of people in north korea or few years of turbulence?
for person who was intrested all was clear 25 years ago, were country was going. from these, 20 years were pleasing dictator by world. after is not better (even after his is not pleased anymore).
This could be workable with the understanding that throwing away 100% of the prototype code is acceptable and it’s primary purpose is as a communication tool, not a technical starting point.
This is how I've handled it so far. But that is probably because the PM that does this for me knew going in that they were not going to be generating something I'd want to become responsible for polishing and maintaining. It's basically just a fancier way of doing what they would otherwise use SketchUp for.
What’s going on with the formatting in this article? Why is every other paragraph broken by another authors byline? Is this some anti-ai posturing by NYT? They’ve made the article harder to read for no reason.
It’s not an article, it’s a live feed. They do this when a story is breaking to make it clear that they’re adding information as they learn of it, and to match the style of the rest of the internet generally.
As they should be. It’s a necessary tool to learn. If your entire dev team circa 2010 was writing code in notepad++ and sharing code versions in a zip file, you would push them to use an IDE and source control. It’s the same concept.
Did you read the article? It cites the METR study[1] which showed that while people using AI tools to program report feeling like they are producing more, they are in fact producing about 20% less than without the tools.
Ironically you could get the same effect and save compute fees by simply having programmers stay home one day a week.
That study is straight out of the school that measures productivity in kLOC. Completely worthless except as fuel for Internet arguments and poorly-informed policymaking.
You act like that's a "gotcha" instead of a normal thing. All they mean by that [0] is that can't mathematically prove their developers/tasks/tool are representative for of the majority of worldwide developers/tasks/tools.
You're demanding an unreasonable level of investment for anyone to "prove a negative."
The burden of proof lies on the people claiming zillion-fold boosts in productivity across "enough" places that they don't really define. This is especially true because they could profit in the process, as opposed to other people burning money to prove a point.
If you want to shit talk LLMs, you better come armed with research, buddy. Claims about how it will revolutionise every profession just need n=1 anecdata though.
Historical comparison: "I just had a pizza delivered on the new Segway and it was super duper cool because they came right into the conference center, so say goodbye to cars and bikes, by 2025 it's all going to be Personal People Movers!"
That said, I think LLMs will have a bigger effect than a self-balancing scooter, both positively and negatively.
Correct, the study showed that it slows down experienced developers. We don't know what it does to inexperienced developers so that sounds like a good research topic. But it still leads to the question of why experienced developers should be told to adopt it, given that it slows them down.
