You don't know what plausible means.

In this case it seems plausible that the military would have an outdated database, and that an LLM would have "known" it wasn't a base anymore, assuming the LLM was trained on documents/maps with this up to date information.

Incorrect and not even close.

Greenfield is easy because nothing matters yet.

No legacy data. No backwards compatibility. No users depending on uptime. If the architecture is wrong you just rewrite it, rename a few services, and move on.

Maintaining and expanding a real system means every change has consequences. You’re migrating live data, preserving behavior people rely on, and evolving the architecture while the plane is already in the air.

0→1 lets you be bold because you can break things. 1→10M is harder because you can’t.

(I'm just kidding, your dismissal just needed a dismissal to make things balanced again)

Why do you think that? I'm looking at getting one.

I have a hard time believing ANYONE thinks this is a selling point. Literally anyone, including marketing and execs at Microsoft. I think they have just sunk too much money in it to quit, so they keep doubling down.

Perhaps. Though Windows has been the majority share even when stack overflow was at it's peak, and before.

Source?

Who is "us" in this case? Majority of devs that took the stack overflow survey use Windows:

From what LDL-C or AboB level to what?

Oatmeal is extra special because of it has high amounts of beta glucan, a soluble fiber.

What is this supposed to do? OpenAI is already cozied up and in bed with Dept of War, they're already busy making lots of little surveillance babies.

Every country is going to arm themselves with AI.

Is it not the other way around? The party controls Trump?

I bought breadboard.ai like 11ish years ago and ended up giving up on in the venture (AI voice assistant hardware built into a house via standard US 120V outlets and light switches, basically Jarvis). Anyway, the logo is begging to be a lowercase b, like this:

But the dots are small rectangles, like on a breadboard.

If only humans scaled like that

Juniors?

Good call. Maybe the US needs a food score system on the label like they have in some European countries. Obviously that system has it's flaws though

What other instances of "we did our job as little too well" are there?

I can think of tabacco and other drugs, but that's not really the same. Monopolistic behavior doesn't really fit either. Maybe Kleenex marketing doing so well their name became interchangeable with the word "tissue"?

5.2 was already very good with svelte 5, at least when you have the svelte MCP server set up.

I've been using 5.2 the way they're describing the new use case for 5.3 this whole time.

For me, yes. It is possible as when working full-stack if you aren't being interrupted. Not all tasks, but some tasks, where you're pretty sure of the high-level requirements, have the necessary agency to stay in a bubble for a bit, and the task is sufficiently complex but narrow enough so you don't have to context switch too much.

With LLM Agents I can't seem to do it, as waiting for the agent to finish working just doesn't tickle my brain in the right way. I feel... distracted, I guess?

I'm wondering if everyone here saying they think harder with LLM agents have never reached "flow state" while programming. I just can't imagine using 100% of my mental focus state for hours with an agent. Sure, I think differently when my coding is primarily via agent, but I've never been totally enveloped by my thoughts while doing so.

For those who have found a "flow state" with LLM agents, what's that like?

Yes, and? Making up a story was literally the point of my comment.

I don't even own any apple products.

I have a 2019 and it's flat.

I guess I'm just trying to suggest that teachers sometimes might think they know why things are being taught, and make claims like "you wont always have a calculator" as the reason for learning mathematics.

One conclusion might be that it'd be better for some students if teachers understood the why, as they might change their approach on some subjects. An example: knowing that certain equations and patterns EXIST, and which kinds of problems they apply to, is generally much more important that knowing the actual equations by heart themselves.

Having a deep intuition about what the calculator is doing is the skill we were actually being taught. Teachers don't know always understand why things are being taught.

Something interesting to see is a version of if this that displayed a % of total animals instead of absolutes.

Sometimes I think the 30% was supposed to be 3% originally, and no one noticed the decimal was in the wrong place when they shipped it, and then people paid it anyway, so they kept it.

30% is just so unreasonable that it would be totally understandable if someone would believe this.
