If I'm to explain what needs to change, that will by definition address processes or lack thereof that led to the problem, no? Which is then explaining what happened and why in an indirect manner, so many of the proposed changes may not make sense without more context.

There's no convergence, but there sure as hell is a lot of pseudo-scientific voodoo and overengineering going on.

I think at this point there is also lots of wild enthusiasm and not that much proof mass-agent anything + orchestration is actually financially viable or even useful.

The worst part about this is someone still using poetry for python development.

Love how there's an extremely lengthy explanation of the oldest way to track people on the internet like this shit hasn't been happening since cookies were created.

It's Victor Taelin?! Ye gods!

Why is everybody treating this person like some celebrity. Am I weird for having never heard about this guy?


No.

It would be weird to stand in line for throwing shit at someone you don't know anything about, and believing that the first guy throwing shit has an actual reason to do so.

It turns out everyone in that line is wrong..


I don't know either :(

I'm not a celebrity and I don't like celebrities


Just like every demo is some pathetic one shot trash game that nobody would play, or something equally inane.

Lots of really silly people love to compare LLMs to compilers. "You don't look at the compiled code either" and "Back in the day, people also had negative reactions to compilers and wanted to keep writing assembly by hand" and other such nonsense.

Indeed, the compiler does not have to ingest its own output, figure it out, and insert modifications in the middle. Source code is the medium that LLMs work in.

They are ignorant about the elephant in the room. The input language of a compiler is a formally-specified grammar with well-defined semantics for each operation. It generally abstracts the computation process over a von-Neumann machine, adding convenience features and bells and whistles. What "a=1" means in an HLL is, store that value in a particular storage location, so that it can be accessed later by the same name.

The slop machine reads lousy natural human language that can mean different things in different contexts. That lousy language is then statistically probed for the most likely output correspondence, producing shit that needs to be externally verified.


Yes.. this happened recently. I basically always use auto mode, and when I asked it why it kept editing code with python, it explained that this is part of its prompt when auto mode is turned on.

I can only assume that's because their safety verification model is better at such snippets or something, but it means that the whole write tool they have which actually shows you the changes as they happen is just unused and it makes it more annoying to follow along.


I was just talking about this the other day.

When would I want autonomous driving? For longer trips. Where do those happen? On the motorway where driving is mostly straight and simple.

When on the motorway, my Tesla's lane assist gives me basically all the benefits on the motorway I'd get from full self driving. FSD doesn't let me stop watching traffic or release the wheel, and I'd still have to take over to adjust to traffic conditions.. i.e. the same exact thing I'm doing with lane assist.

I'm not interested until I can literally sit in the back and take a nap.


The developer is great. The game isn't.
