I scored 5. Bank at max power at 5 o’clock from tee, the ball bounces over the wall and skips most of the course.

I'm happy for you; clearly you've had a good experience.

I say the following with sincere concern.

AI is a cool technology but anthropomorphizing it and using the L-word to describe your relationship with it is a symptom of AI psychosis. Respectfully, I suggest that you take a break and touch grass.

Compilers do not generate impact by themselves either

I did not mean to give the impression that Compilers and other key infrastructure are not impactful. I believe these are deeply impactful.

That both fair and also charitable to the commenter. It's not a given that Fable is "above that baseline," all we can go by is anecdotes and Anthropic's marketing materials. Both tend to be puffed up. And if they're speaking generally about LLM-assisted coding, they could have chosen to say it that way.

The most wide-eyed AI believers I've met are tinkerers. And that tracks; the speed at which we can tinker has become so marvelous thanks to LLM-assisted coding. Tinkering is a process; people get a lot of joy out of the act of building and tweaking things. Outcomes are a secondary or tertiary considerations. AI has massively expanded our ability to act (and therefore tinker) but it can't generate meaningful impact (e.g. "engineering") by itself. Impact > activity.

I'm sorry, but this is borderline silly. Fable has been out for less than a week and you're already making grand pronouncements about its superiority? How much first-hand evidence could you possibly have for that claim?

I'm curious about LLM adoption by faculty. Is it possible that lesson plans and/or slides are being vibe-produced by professors/TAs, potentially reducing quality of instruction?

There are limits to the web audio API :) but I did conform to the known waveforms of the trombone when setting the synthesizer values. The frequencies and proportions of the slides and partials are very precise!

I think you'll enjoy this: an acoustically-accurate trombone in the web browser. https://github.com/bignimbus/trombone.js

Can you share a source? Of course the top 5% of _earners_ would pay more, but that's not necessarily the same crew as the top 5% in net worth. And 5% is a large share of the population. I'd be more interested in the top 1% of 1% in terms of wealth.

Whenever I see a document with horizontal rules between headers and the blues and purples that Claude Cowork adds to .docx files, I sigh.

To that I'd add:

* an abundance of ordered and unordered lists

* paragraphs are <= 3 sentences

* _it's not X, it's Y_: "The goal is not to let AI choose for you. The goal is to build a sharper rejection vocabulary." "The biggest decisions are not formatting decisions. They are directional decisions."

* a lot of <h2> breaking up the prose, if you can call it that

* setup statement, then a colon, then a punchline: "AI and LLMs have changed one thing very quickly: competent output is now cheap."

AI-generated essays are listicles at heart

I have seen something similar in a site I work on

+1, this is my use case as well

The RFC is a joke, if you couldn't tell. Those are quotes from the text :)

Next time you post a HN comment, try audibly sighing or pausing for 137 milliseconds first?

"Training" an LLM ist not the same as training a human being. It a metaphor. Its confusing the save icon with an actual floppy disk.

Maybe? But the design of the floppy disk is for data storage and retrieval per se. It can't give you your bits in a novel order like an LLM does (by design). From what I can tell in this case, the output is significantly differentiated from the source code.

This is interesting and I'm not sure what to make of it. Devil's advocate: the person operating the AI also was "trained with the code," is that materially different from them writing it by hand vs. assisted by an LLM? Honestly asking, I hadn't considered this angle before.

Better than 90% of the slop that gets ladled into the front page, bravo. The world needs more Clock Simulator-like projects.

It’s AI booster fanfic, but it’s well-written so kudos. The charts are slop though.

This team is at Stanford, unless I’m reading the article incorrectly. Still awful that the US pulled out of WHO.

That's the sad part. Empiricism is scarce when people and companies are incentivized to treat their AI practices as trade secrets. It's fundamentally distinct from prior software movements which were largely underwritten by open, accessible, and permissively-licensed technologies.

Can you update the title? "Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?" sounds like you're seeking verifiable data, but in your post you're soliciting advice for how to use these tools. I clicked hoping for empiricism and got the same hamster wheel of "you're holding it wrong" that I see in every social media comment section about AI tooling.

Heads up: I clicked a tile and got the hamsterdance music pretty loud in my ears. Serves me right for being distracted during a meeting but still, sound warning :)

Example?

The big difference is accountability. An LLM has no mortality; it has no use for fear, no embodied concept of reputation, no persistent values. Everything is ephemera. But they are useful! More useful than humans in some scenarios! So there's that. But when I consider the purpose of conversation, utility is only one consideration among many.

The narrative structure of the article would be brilliant satire but I'm 90% certain that the author is serious about the conclusions they drew at the end, which I find sad.

Framing obvious/old ideas in a novel way can be helpful. "Collaboration" is a meme that makes it easy to view all collaboration-shaped exchanges as helpful and the opposite as harmful. A memorable counter-narrative can help people think more critically when faced with an applicable situation.

I don't think the author is saying that LLMs are conscious or alive.
