This take makes sense in the context of MLIR creation which introduces dialects which are namespaces within the IR. Given it was created by Chris Lattner I would guess he saw these problems with LLVM as well.

What a random set of companies to choose. You'd probably need to think critically about each one of those when assessing the accuracy of your statements.

> What a random set of companies to choose.

All of the mentioned named companies have network effects, distribution and trust.

Not quite easy to copy. Disposable LLM gen'd code without users is cheap, which is the point of the article.


you are learning what it takes to keep a machine up and running. You still witness the breakage. You can still watch the fix. You can review what happened. What you are implying from your question is that compared to doing things without AI, you are learning less (or perhaps you believe nothing). You definitely are learning less about mucking around in linux. But, if the alternative was not ever running a linux machine at all because you didn't want to deal with running it, you are learning infinitely more.

How can you review if you don‘t know in the first place?

You can watch your doctor, your plumber, your car mechanic and still wouldn’t know if they di something wrong if you don’t know the subject as such.


You can learn a lot from watching your doctor, plumber or mechanic work, and you could learn even more if you could ask them questions for hours without making them mad.

You learn less from watching a faux-doctor, faux-plumber, faux-mechanic and learn even less by engaging in their hallucinations without a level horizon for reference.

Bob the Builder doesn't convey much about drainage needs for foundations and few children think to ask. Who knows how AI-Bob might respond.


> You can learn a lot from watching your doctor [...] work

Very true but I'll still opt for that general anesthesia...


The primary way humans learn anything at all is by watching and mimicking. Sure, there will be mistakes, but that doesn't preclude learning.

Your hypothetical situation would cause all progress to halt. Nobody would be able to fix genuine problems.

the puzzling thing to me is Tim Cook was in the board meetings. Apple and Nike play similae games to stay ahead and keep margins high. i am sure he is on the board to glean insights from the older brother Nike. And yet…

Doubt it. Apple understands how important retail presence is - their stores generate more revenue per square foot than any others, including Tiffany’s.

well thats my point. makes me wonder how much influence Cook has on the Nike board to teach them that to avoid the mistakes they made. Cook had a front row seat to the decline of Nike

Echo other comments here. As an ex games cracker for some pretty large scale piracy orgs in the 90s I lol’ed at this

I think the idea that nobody would talk to strangers online is a bit too general. We are all mostly doing it here. I do it on reddit all the time in the same recurring subreddits that I've grown to trust. IRC was also pretty hostile back in the 90s. But again it depended on the communities. Just think you can't generalize the internet this way.


True I would also add that this an exception to most social media platforms. I feel as there is a roundtable Everytime somone posts a something. I'm some how invited and listening, whether I comment or say something is entirely up to what I have to share. Argument or debate isnt so aggressiveas it's factual based for the most part.

Sounds like you got offended by a robot.


I believe the correct term that I've seen elsewhere is "clanker".


Apple’s analytics probably support this which is exactly why siri still sucks. But ya, everyone will continue to think they somehow know better and apple is wrong and poorly executing


> which is exactly why siri still sucks

It probably does what most people need it to do, so it sucks?

That's some interesting logic to say the least.


had the privilege to be there in person. was magical live


I envy you sooo muuchh


Dont worry. The market decides what we want and we just wont go for it
