Ketogenic Diet Shows Promise Treating Serious Mental Illness in Stanford Study

"So what kind of programming work would be the opposite of this?

* Problems are ill-defined and poorly-scoped

* Solutions are difficult to verify

* The total volume of code involved is massive

In my view, this is describing legacy code: feature work in large established codebases."

If you have used cursor.ai to try to create a moderately sized project you'll see this happen even with newly generated code.

In my experience, if you limit yourself to generate not well thought through prompts and do not work on getting a deep understanding of the generated codebase, the LLM will start duplicating the same code flows in different ways, many time forgetting some of the behaviour already implemented.

Kind of like having dozens of developers working on the same codebase clueless about what each other has done and re-implementing the same functionality until the code turns into a pile of spaghetti code.

It can be done but:

* You must have a deep understanding of the code

* You need to think hard about what you are doing and give very detailed instructions to the AI

It works for trying a quick prototype but when moving on to production grade code you need to slow down and "program" step by step providing precise instructions as you go.

You'll have to design the changes to the minor detail and then you can let the AI do the grunt work.

It's like programming without coding.

I actually took the time to read the tutorial and found it helpful.

Thanks for taking the time to share the walk through.

That's nice but I was looking more for a simple implementation of the concept from first principles.

I mean an understanding from the view of the internals and not so much the user perspective.

I don't really care about the standardized interface.

I just want to know how you'd implement something that would load your services and dependencies from a config file, bind them altogether, distribute the load through several local VMs and make it still work if I kill the service or increase the load.

In less than 1000 lines.

Great opportunity for someone ballsy to write a book about kubernetes internals for the general engineering population.

Bonus points for writing a basic implementation from first principles capturing the essence of the problem kubernetes really was meant to solve.

The 100 pages kubernetes book, Andriy Burkov style.

LLMs can work if you program above the code.

You still need to state your assertions with precision and keep a model of the code in your head.

Its possible to be be precise at an higher level of abstraction as long as your prompts are consistent with a coherent model of the code.

I'm not sure I follow - your assertion was that 12% is significative.

I personally chose for price on a low-cost model (unless the improvement is to significant that it justifies the higher price).

OpenAI O3-Mini 1 year ago

I wasn't expecting for my comment to be red so literally but ok.

We're talking about the most cost-efficient model, the competition here is on price, not on a 12% incremental performance (which would make sense for the high end model).

To my knowledge deepseek is the cheaper service which is what matters on the low-end (unless the increase in performance was in such magnitude that the extra-charge would be worth the money).
