So I guess it is lost to history, but how did a military cynicism sneak into programming? And judging from the origin stories posted it came from failed military campaigns and then was somehow spread to the broader programming community through MIT.
There’s a few steps there missing.
But on the other hand, a lot of posters in TFA writes “if you knew you knew”, and maybe most people who spread this didn’t know. I mean, I’ve used it without a second thought plenty of times just because.
It might be as simple as an ex military professor writing it and students picking it up as “this is how we talk” with basically no one knowing what they are talking about.
I saw a tool that had a page dedicated to AI to read. Basically you would point your llm to that page as the initial prompt and from there could start asking questions. I thought it was an interesting idea, but apparently not interesting enough to remember who did it or even check how that page looked.
its actually a big thing i am waiting for - both websites and ai tools to agree on a way to facilitate this.
i'm doing some game development in godot as a hobby, and the current llm's are really bad at it - very often i get code suggestions that use ancient versions of gdscript or the engine. I'd love to have a big enough context window and the tooling needed to go like "look at these godot docs for the current version: (insert link)" and then ask my questions, i think it would fix 99% of these issues. same with other less well-known tools and languages.
While I think the authors quadrant and rankings of the quadrants are good, I don’t see how this saves judging the candidates on metrics such as “they really impressed me” or “they knew what they were talking about.
HN is obviously not where you’ll find people sympathetic to this point of view, but in the grander scheme of things, the no-Easter-eggs attitude won out
Not at all. I'm saying that they should reflect the unereliability inherent in distributed computing rather than pretend it can't exist with such false notions as "retries will fix it" or "this call can't fail"
It’s good intuition and explanation. I hadn’t heard of the problem before and looked at your comment before the article and the problem seemed trivial.
Andrew will open boxes in second and third row before the other player, so in the case of the illustration he will open 2/3rds of the boxes first. If the columns are longer than the rows, Andrew would start to lose.
Mine kinda half connect all the time. They’re there on my phone. I can see battery and chose them as an audio output. Put I can’t play anything out of them until I remove and pair them again.
That doesn’t happen often.
