The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.

I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.

Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We’re expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.

Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern

Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.

The sad reality is that code is just a form of language, and LLMs are good at learning languages.

This is debatable. LLMs are prediction machines.

What use is prediction when you are trying to code something new?

Quantum Scientists: Hey, man, you just don’t get it.

December is peak holiday season. When people relax, and have time on their hands …

All analogies have flaws. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be an analogy, they would be describing the very thing itself.

What’s not cool is shitting on a movie just because you didn’t like it or it didn’t make sense to you.

If you don’t like or don’t get a work of art, it is entirely reasonable to shit on it.

Wait, is it the boat that ignores the spherical attribute or the entity that commands the boat?

Can an elf sail to the undying lands commanding a human built vessel?

they want to have opinions expressed, usually not the norm, so you can have a better formed option about the subject

You can’t a better formed opinion on a subject by reading trash.

What’s in my pants is whatever the fuck I tell them is in my pants.

We have conceal and carry laws for this exact reason. /jk

The people are all that stands …

No matter who you are, or where you are from, we can work together against the powers that be. Even small nudges from each person collect to a large force.

Nah, to get hairs you need to send back French toast. Just like in this demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNfciDzZTNM

Doesn’t matter if it was one, or all publishers. Always call out scummy practices.

It’d be cool to have some source.

I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit.

So since 2009? You haven’t been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.

Yeah, it’s strange to label it as “not threatened” when there is a “data deficient” label available.

It appears that the “data deficient” label is avoided as much as possible:
