What's wrong with that?

I feel like the article either doesn't really contain any information, or is describing the concept of "code comments" after being translated through 35 languages.

While it feels like these sorts of observations are shouting into the void, I think they do have a cumulative impact. It's probably another 5 years until the hype's over, but that'll be 5 years of the voices of reason saying "you've reinvented X" for each X of pre-AI best practice.

I admit, I am somewhat excited to see what's actually left, after the hype has gone away. Because there might actually be something. LLMs can only contribute to projects where there's a severe deficiency, or there's enough of a specification that a heuristic-guided fuzzer could do the same job quicker. LLMs are worse at translation than much smaller seq2seq transformer models. LLM apparent writing ability is mainly attributable to plagiarism and the LLMentalist effect. LLM apparent sentience is mainly attributable to the ELIZA effect. But once you strip away all the hype, will we be left with a pearl, or just bits of dead clam?

Sorry, but it's totally funny that your nick is literally "Sidewinder".

These people are about to be really surprised when the bees die.

I would love to see what you two are working on, and who you're working with.

You do realize that having a girlfriend actually doesn't pay for your rent, food and medication?

Everybody realises this. That said, a huge number of people around the world are financially dependent on their partner. (One of the main goals of feminism has been to normalise relationships where this is not the case.)

The fundamental question is: Should employers be obligated to employ the people they hire forever?

Well it DOES have less storage than a Nomad (hence lame), but this way you don't need to pay for a public IP address, or for a VPS to run Wireguard on, or for a commercial VPN solution, and then install a terminal emulator on your phone and set up SSH keys.

Acro RC helis are an amazing sight, but it’s not really related to the article. They’re just rotors that can reverse their thrust entirely by changing the pitch angle below zero (i.e. lower than regular helicopters can). Many prop planes use that for braking

Bambu Lab A1 Mini is around $200 here in Europe and as long as you can fit into the 180mm cube print volume, it is wonderful. Requires zero configuration and zero prior knowledge. Calibrates itself, reminds you about maintenance. Looks as unthreatening as a 3D printer can. Supports offline/LAN mode.

I'm like 1 cm taller than you and the pain is real.

And pants are still kind of doable, but mountain bikes? My enduro rig is size XS on 27.5 rims and with manufacturers dropping 27.5ers I expect this to be the last bike that feels anywhere close to "nimble". Also RIP women riders, but that's been the case for years now.

I also have proportionally small feet (size 39 EU but wide as fuck, so I only wear expensive minimalist shoes with wide toe boxes) and small hands (RIP piano, I'm not hitting an octave ever).
