nobody should patronize those who newly have opinions about third party evaluators. non-experts forming opinions fast is part of the american tradition. the constitution itself was, in a very important sense, vibe coded by 20 somethings with concepts of a plan. but newbies being fleeced is also part of the american tradition. “caveat emptor” is a provision of a contract signed by an adult, not some god-given right to be treated as something other than a little child. you will be treated as a child no matter what. you are the buyer. it is your job to beware.

> One could even define intelligence as the efficiency with which one converts experience into competence; by this definition they lag very far behind us Yes, one could define intelligence in this way, and one would be right. By this metric current AI is approximately 6 OOMs less intelligent than humans. Your ancestors' evolutionary history did not prepare you for Python programming, yet you can learn to competently program in Python in a few hundreds of hours. An LRM needs the training data equivalent of ~1B hours (on top of all of its non-programming related training data).

Computer science professor who works on fast data processing; co-author of the simdjson parser and a weekly blogger about software performance since 2004.
One very visible effect of AI this summer has been a large influx of bug fixes. In some sense, it is the opposite of AI slop. I manage widely deployed libraries and, in some cases, the number of pull requests has been doubled. In the simdjson library, I merged 92 pull requests in 2024, I am at 134 thus far. In many instances, AI found long standing well hidden bugs. It makes me happy because I dislike bugs. But this puts stress on people packaging and distributing these libraries. Sadly, I have also never received so many pull requests that I have not merged. For simdjson, I received 219 pull… Related

I remember anytime I would work with a big site on their performance problems, uh you could easily spend half a day, um you know, just looking at traces before you've even written any fixes at all. And now that we have LLMs, it's very quick to like reason through massive stack traces and actually be able to get down to fixes you can make.

It's interesting how much (some) people are adopting AI-isms in writing even when not using AI. It makes sense that people would fall into the same patterns after seeing them everywhere, but it's still very weird to, live, watch someone who never used to write like this, write out something that's full of "It's not X, it's Y", etc. If you actually read it, it's a little too well reasoned and doesn't have enough nonsense phrases to be AI writing but, superficially, it's very AI-coded writing.

Their words
But but the thing is like doing programming languages, you come to realize it's a long play. I mean, if if you look back at the the stuff I worked on, it it it goes in 10-year cycles at least. And TypeScript didn't really, for example, or C# for that matter. I mean, it took it it takes 10 years to get to, you know, version one is great, but it has all sorts of issues, and then you got to do version two, and then it's not until version three that it really starts to be great.

korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
