  • You have to get familiar with the codebase at some point. When you are unfamiliar, in my experience, LLMs can provide help understanding it. Copying large portions of code you don't really understand and asking for an analysis and explanation.

    Not so far ago I used it on assembly code. It would have taken ages to decipher what it was doing by myself. The AI sped up the process.

    But once you are very familiar with a established project you had work a lot with, I don't even bother asking LLMs anything, as in my experience, I come up with better answers quicker.

    At the end of the day we must understand that a LLM is more or less an statistical autocomplete trained on a large dataset. If your solution is not on the dataset the thing is not going to really came up with a creative solution. And the thing is not going to run a debugger on your code either, afaik.

    When I use it the question I ask myself the most before bothering is "is the solution likely to be on the training dataset?" or "is it a task that can be solved as a language problem?"

  • I find it more useful doing large language transformations and delving into unknown patterns, languages or environments.

    If I know a source head to toe, and I'm proficient with that environment, it's going to offer little help. Specially if it's a highly specialized problem.

    Since SVB crash there have been firings left and right. I suspect AI is only an excuse for them.

  • The study was centered on bugfixing large established projects. This task is not really the one that AI helpers excel at.

    Also small number of participants (16) , the participants were familiar with the code base and all tasks seems to be smaller in completion time can screw results.

    Thus the divergence between studio results and many people personal experience that would experience increase of productivity because they are doing different tasks in a different scenario.

  • I would stop normalizing the theory that immigrants are here only to do badly paid jobs.

    I've hear too many times "without immigrants who would work in insert miserable badly paid job?".

    Immigrants are not here to do the most miserable jobs without getting properly paid for it.

    I think progressive forces should stop with that discourse. I find it a little dehumanizing. If you don't want to do that shitty job I don't know why anyone would think that a person, only because they are an immigrant, want to do it for you.

  • Browsers should probably warn if a site on which you are filling forms with personal information or payment methods have been issued with KYC or not. And clearly state to whom physical persona or enterprise that certificate was issued.

    Though I worry about the barrier from many people to get those certificates and then privacy concerns. It's a balance between privacy and democracy and fighting scams. My guess is that browsers should only warn in certain websites, but in which websites and how to detect them... That eludes me, seems complex.

    Should a drawing that was made using AI references be marked as "AI Generated Content"?

    Do you want Artificial Intelligence to be invented?

    Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.
