You defer to the advice of experts you trust. Which somehow have become harder to come by in terms of signal to noise than 20-30 years ago.

Based on comments elsethread, I think what was meant is: You can install it now with “bun upgrade --canary”, or something along those lines. However, people also report that the canary version doesn’t…

> who cares what language a JS toolset is written in? Anthropic, apparently, not the least because they blanket-closed all issues submitted before the rewrite. If the language were irrelevant, it s…

That wasn’t the question. The question is how LLM code review is a huge disruptor. What is it disrupting? At best, with regard to code review LLMs just solve the problems that LLMs create.

The question is whether the balance of white-hat and black-hat LLM bug findings gives us a different enough result from the previous balance of white-hat and black-hat human bug findings to constitute…

He explains how he thinks it won’t be a disruptor: > Just on that repeated experience, I suspect we have already seen more than half of the “worst software bugs found with LLM-tools” list. On the o…

That's the point the root comment was making: The numbers only tell us how many units Valve is able to manufacture/ship, it doesn't tell us about the demand beyond that. So it's no…

It isn’t inverted though? 32000 is at the bottom, 40000 is at the top. Maybe it changed since you commented.

The discussion was about people who right now prefer to use AI for cheating (or for avoiding work) rather than for learning. I don’t think that a “personal tutor” mode would significantly change these…

I don’t think this is likely to happen in the foreseeable future, because learning still requires struggling even under the best of personal tutors. For most of the “80%” it requires some level of com…

You are probably familiar with the horseshoe-shaped chromaticity diagram [0] of human-visible colors. A light source with three color primaries spans a triangle in that coordinate system. To cover the…

If you’d read the article, you’d learned that these are advancements in backlit LCD technology. More generally, however, having more than three color primaries is orthogonal to the question of backlit…
