Which sufficient tooling calls even OCR can read this, but I think this can be improved

Zig by Example 1 month ago

This is outdated and AI generated.

If you want a good source of zig learning material interactive and by examples please check out ziglings: https://codeberg.org/ziglings

It's writen and tested by humans, which is essential for learning purposes. It's listed in the official zig website, by the way.

This project is always up to date to the latest zig release.

- LLMs can't learn, therefore, LLMs are only good for things on which they are trained. - Captchas are not friendly with trial and error, so agentic solutions also don't help. - It's impractical to train LLMs on everything. - We humans are capable of creating infinite ways of captchas.

While each of these sentences is true, captchas will always win against LLMs.

The LLM usage are disclosed only for the projects where this information is relevant.

By the way there are a lot of farmers that doesn't need the power of tractors to make farming their livehood. Makes sense when you realize that not everything needs to be super fast and efficient, sometimes cheap, slow and constant is enough.

In Portuguese "vi" means "saw" (past of see) and vim means "came", the last one being source of many inside jokes in one of my first jobs

The fact where all posts of this blog make sure to state that claude code is a life changer, i wouldn't doubt about it

I like the experience of exploring new repositories so I switched everything to codeberg which is where most of the projects I'm interested with are

Given by the fact that the problem is 60 year old, isn't there a chance this was indirect solved already and the model just crossed informations to figure out the problem?

By looking the website this problem was never discussed by humans. The last comments were about gpt discovering it. I was expecting older comments coming to a 60 year old problem.

Am I missing something?

Great discovery though, there might be problems like that same case that worth a try for a "gpt check"

It's not weird if it comes from ESL. At least in portuguese there's no "it" equivalent for pronouns or any other neutral artifact in the language, in other words, everything has a gender, even an AI model, the same goes for objects e.g.: knife(she), fork(he), spoon(she), plate(he).

People often commit mistakes regarding that, the same way we don't have "they" as pronoun to someone we don't know the gender, so we address to these people as "dele(dela)" (masculine and feminine pronouns).

But if this is coming from someone who has english as a primary language it's definetely weird to treat models as person

Not sure what to think about the first part, but what you said about writing style, I think it's still reasonable to judge developers/engineers by writing style:

- Writing style does reveal how people understand problems and their approach for solving them. People that prioritize direct solutions over complex abstractions are still valuable to catch over engineered code.

- People with "good taste" in code can catch when AI generated code takes shortcuts to accomplish a certain task, this happens every day and we can't ignore it.

The state of AI code can be way better by 6 months or 1 year, or even more (we don't really know), but we're not there yet, and we can't wait until there to hire new people without considering those points.

I think there's no SOA advance on this one worthy of "freaking out".

Looks like they just built a way larger model, with the same quirks than Claude 4. Seems like a super expensive "Claude 4.7" model.

I have no doubts that Google and OpenAI already done that for internal (or even government) usage.

Arm AGI CPU 4 months ago

People ruined the word AGI before this to be fair, we will need another word to describe "real AGI" when it comes

I'm using Opus on Claude Code and even on easy tasks, if you not review the changes properly, it creates tech debts. One of the most common issues is replicating the same logic with variables with different names (which makes grep harder to detect on future changes) in multiple places and lack of following project patterns. Even having a lot of .md files instructing to do the opposite. I still didn't find a workflow without human interaction that can be that efficient and reliable.

You should be concerned and not excited. This future might be near than we can imagine and we're just accelerating things without thinking about the consequences.

For me it's so unrelevant reading about how a product is useful on the company itself website. This is at most marketing disguised as research.

Yeah, it's hard to maintain physical performance as we are more susceptible to injuries which keeps us away from constant training, but our brain doesn't suffer by injuries, what allow us to go further. I think what makes people to drop at advanced age on "non-physical sports" it's to focus on other aspects of life over the sport because it's exaustive, if not impossible, to focus on both.
