They also believe a rock can think like a human so…

In my experience there are three ways to be successful with this tool:

• write something that already exists so it doesn’t need to think
• do all the thinking for it upfront (hello waterfall development)
• work in very small iterations that doesn’t require any leaps of logic. Don’t reprompt when it gets something wrong, instead reshape the code so it can only get it right

The issue with debugging is that it doesn’t actually think. LLMs pattern match to a chain of thought based on signals, not reasoning. For it to debug you need good signals in your code that explicitly tell what it is doing and the LLMs do not write code with that level of observability by default.

Edit: one of my workflows that I had success with is as follows:

• write a gherkin feature file describing desired functionality, maybe have the LLM create multiple scenarios after I defined one to copy from
• tell the LLM to write tests using those feature files, does an okay job but needs help making tests run in parallel.
• if the feature is simple, ask the LLM to make a plan and review it
• if the feature is complex then stub out the implementation in code and add TODOs, then direct the LLM to plan. Giving explicit goals in the code itself reduces token consumption and yield better plans

Ditto. And I love how wholesome the blahaj community is here on the fedi. Anyone got a problem with them has a problem with me.

Actually had a therapist introduce me to it. It can be a useful model, and if I were to boil it down to a single adage it would be: pay attention to how you talk to yourself. But I don’t think it is as simple as saying you contain a multitude, each part was developed to help the person survive and as you get older you might collect more parts and suppress others. It actually reminded me a bit of Lacan and the developmental stages.

Wake me when China invades a country because they have coal.

They said send them, never said in what condition.

Someone is probably hawking AI driven backups as we type

Any politician that has put their own safety on the line. I don’t care if they ratiod Trump on truth social or even took him to court. People with far less privilege are showing up on the front lines to demand accountability, we should expect nothing less from our leaders.

What about planting trees to offset carbon? When does an artificial forest start to count as Geo engineering?

Some of us are immune. I have no idea why other than I got it from my mother, who has really bad allergies.

This isn’t about you being correct, if that was the case you would focus on your argument instead of giving an empty retort. I suspect this is your attempt to control the conversation. What is your intention with letting us know your motivation is to be perceived as being correct?

“We want him to act like a hegemon and purge people based on ideology instead of what they have done.”

Go read “Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers”, written by a member of the CCP to better understand what kind of leader Mamdani is vs the kind you are asking for and the consequences there of.

I read it and still share the same response. You expect him to say he will not hire someone to coordinate trash pickup based on their foreign policies? Lol okay.

What is it with magicians and Epstein, there’s also David Copperfield

Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.

The part about robots doing backflips causes the robot to wear down faster has me thinking the whole “replace humans with humanoids” should be framed as comparative advantage rather than how many robots would be required to build itself. Given the number of humanoids required to replicate itself, you could take those same complex parts, rearrange them into non-humanoid configurations and have more output both in an interval of time and over the life time of those parts.

I wonder what they’ll name that nuclear disaster after…

I’m suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won’t happen to China now that they’re industrialized.
