  • I very much agree with your conclusions and general approach.

    LLMs are great for certain tasks that are programming related and it does it very well. I, too, often find myself needing scripts that as long as they did what they were suppose to, I really didn’t care how.

    Another thing I’ve noticed(which is probably related to amounts of training data) is that it can help better with simple Python tasks as opposed to how it handles simple rust tasks.

    But you mentioned one of my main issues with. Ice been programming for 15 years or so, and still learning. All the available llms did crucial errors about fundamental tabd complex topics and got the answer so very wrong but also sounding very convincing. Couple it with lack of proper linking to the sources of the response, you might see why having it explain code might cause your learn wrongly. Although it is also possible to say this about randoms internet tutorials. I always try to remind myself that it’s a tool that produces output that always needs to be verified.














  • Got a lot more crowded, expensive and exhausted. You see humans everywhere you go. Stuff gets more expensive, but quality keeps declining both in products and in services for all that is quality of life related or crucial(housing, food, transportation…)

    When I was born there were less than 5 bill humans on earth, now it’s over 8. I can feel it constantly and in everything.

    The trajectory doesn’t seem so great to me.

    There are some aspects that are better, but I don’t feel they compensate for the things we have lost. I also feel that growing up today is a lot harder than it was when i was growing up.
