from one of Germany's large insurers

Is this voluntary insurance? It changes meaning to the statistic to % from those that made an insurance.

Take a look at a sufficiently old random internal repo which was not written with LLMs and compare.

My observation is that they are equally bad and hard to maintain or even more so than the new ones.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the LLM assisted ones have a lot more comments which is nice but take more time to read.

The agents will read them

From an agent perspective is very well documented but from a human perspective is not very clear - how you would use it?

When I say "thanks, that worked," that memory gets promoted. When I say "no, that's wrong," it gets demoted. … No manual tagging.

I think this is also a kind of tagging.

I always had problems understanding algorithms from such descriptions. Even from pseudocode I find it difficult to understand. What I usually do is search for an implementation, even in a language I am not familiar with is still better. When you have code you can run it, test it, debug it - not so much with descriptions and pseudocode.

6 digit years

Totally insufficient for capturing important future events like the dead of the sun.

Not op, but I think "doesn't play nicely" means does not work so you have to do it in other ways. This has been my experience as well, albeit it was couple of years ago.

There are other commands?

They just launched Junie https://www.jetbrains.com/junie/

As LLM benchmarks go, this is not a bad take at all. One interesting point about this approach is that is self balancing, so when more powerful models come up, there is no need to change it.

Still can't get past "Gleam doesn't have loops". I did try to stick with it as the doc suggests, but I guess is a steep transition for me. I like everything else about the language.

In America!

The intro paragraph in the original URL https://openai.com/index/announcing-the-stargate-project/ mentions US/America for 5 times!

The number of people is irrelevant. What is relevant is what each one did. If they did something illegal that is punished with prison time, they go to prison.

Or https://wafflegame.net which looks a bit more polished.

I used https://github.com/jetify-com/typeid for generating api keys for a project. They are nice because you can use prefixes for different type of keys and know immediately what they represent. No dashes also makes them easier to copy paste.

After finishing DuoLingo’s Latin course, I wanted to read some Latin texts, but I didn't find easy enough texts and going back and forth to a dictionary was cumbersome.

So I created this app for reading basic Latin texts. The idea of the app is to have a Latin text with translation of each word under the paragraph line, which makes it easy to grasp the meaning but also focuses on reading the original Latin text.

It only has one book, if I finish it I might add others.

I used OpenAI to do the translation which looks pretty good for me, with the caveat that... well... I do not know Latin. This approach will not probably work for more complex texts.

This mode of reading works for me, not sure if is of interest to anyone else.

The app source is on GitHub if you are interested:

A couple of details about the dev process:

Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups.

All the bad connotations we get from the word are because humans are humans. There is no better model that works in any kind of society/ organization/ group other than "politics".

Somebody "ethics" may not be the same as others. (Is it ethic to spend a lot of money and deliver something that does not fit the expectations of the ones that provided the money? It may be easy to make users happy - just give them free movies, etc.)

Sometimes you are doing working everyone tells you is critical the day before they show you out the door.

I know this may appear so but the signs are there. We only want this to be true so we do not see it.

I've been in a similar situation where all we were seeing was high pressure to deliver something. This made it appear that is because the project is important. But the underlying reason was that if we didn't, the project would be dropped. Which they did.

A project may be critical but even more so is to be in a certain time frame and budget, otherwise the project doesn't have a reason to exist any more. But until that moment is still very important because, at the very least because there was a lot of investment into it.

This was the last year we had to change the clock... And was the last one for about 5 years.

I guess some respond with “yes”. We have a saying around here something like: “is not stupid who is asking, is stupid the one that gives”.

A rule app that requires cookie consent for like 200 “legitimate interest” vendors.

Reliable network communication is also proven to be impossible [1], yet it happens all the time. Yes, sometime it fails but it still “works”.

… indicates the fault is in you if almost everyone misuses a tool the fault is in tool

Or, more likely I think, because the tool is popular and is used by many companies, is statistically more likely to find it misused.

So we do not need LLMs for hallucinations, humans are already good at those?

DOM-like event bubbling

This does sound very interesting. I started playing with https://two.js.org/ for a browser game but the event system proved a challange. The typescript focus also looks promising. Will give it a try.

From ~2021 they are supported in all major browsers.

I was thinking just the other day that I become more and more dependent on GitHub copilot autocomplete. I feel that I am losing some skills but skip writing some tedious parts of the code is too nice to discard.

If you are using IntelliJ (Ultimate), it also have very good support for SQL (syntax highlighting, autocomplete, etc.) and is Postgresql flavor aware.

There is a bit of tooling needed but is already around. For Java for example I had very good experience with a combination of flyway [1] for migrations, testcontainers [2] for making integration tests as easy as unit tests and querydsl [3] for a query and mapping layer.
