The Last Hairbender

It’s probably a legacy code quality issue too. If your code is a mess, the only fix it can find is a kludgy one. The first thing I had it do, once it was good enough to do real work, was a legacy refactor to get architecture up to best practice standards. Heck, even OpenAI’s Harness Engineering specs say that this is essential to do first. I suspect that many of the people saying it comes up with shitty solutions are the same ones that always complain about over-engineering.

You’ll also get subpar results if you just have it start coding without fully architecting its solution first. Just like a real developer.

Maybe it’s just because Anthropic is so many more miles ahead than OpenAI, but I have not had the “it doesn’t work” experience that people are talking about here. I’ve set up agentic pipelines with code architecture guidelines, the orchestrator calls the implementer, tester, reviewer when needed. If the developed code isn’t up to standard or the work item isn’t fully captured, it’ll reject it and send it back to implementation. It invokes the architect if it runs into something unanticipated. The pipeline can run a feature with high accuracy and very little input.

I’ve even used it to run batteries of frozen experiments on self synthesized data using its own simulation harnesses to discover novel techniques that work in the real world. If it isn’t helpful, I feel like you are doing it wrong.

That last change is overly optimistic.

I get it, it’s so damn expensive these days and my 10 year old PC runs the new games that I buy just fine.

Nobody poops but you.

I feel like this is a measurable fact rather than an opinion.

After accounting for other potential risk factors,

I doubt Mass General Brigham is so incompetent that they don’t know how to do science. They do talk about the study limitations, especially around H. Pylori status, but also state that they collected detailed health and lifestyle history to control for confounding factors.

They really are great.

lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower.

Nah, this could be a simple SQL statement with the right data source.

SELECT
    v.ssn,
    TRUE AS terrorist
FROM citizens v
INNER JOIN voting_history h
    ON v.ssn = h.ssn
WHERE h.party_affiliation = 'Democrat';

I thought you meant cosmos the flower and was trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about.

Max Miller, fuck that guy. j/k, I just don’t watch TV anymore.

Then fight already, you’re still going down.

Rioting won’t help anymore. The time for action was 40 years ago. We could maybe save humanity by killing almost everyone and subsisting the few remaining on a clean energy, no-fossil fuel burning, aggressive carbon recapture society. Beyond that, we are fucked.

Treat your continued existence like terminal cancer and try to live with purpose.

😂😭

So far, I’m not a huge fan of the anthropocene.

In a way that is temporally continuous? No way. As long as I’m always dead by around 2012? Yeah, sure.
