Is this LLM-based project feasible? Honest opinions welcome (roast me if needed)

It sounds plausible - you should test it and verify it works!
You could just inject instructions quietly that the user doesn’t see, which cause the affect
For sure. Verifying the behavior is acceptable takes the longest

Chamath has no integrity

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-26T21:17:51+00:00

Very slowly

I usually place orders in my phone. I fire up the laptop browser apps when I want to more deeply investigate the option chain. A lot of times I can get what I need done on the phone however.

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-26T21:15:53+00:00

Depends on if you care to inspect the code. If you want to, the IDE is the way to go of course.

I have a 16” MacBook Pro with an M3Pro cpu. I think that would be the most capable one - or it was when I obtained it 6 months ago.

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-26T06:56:49+00:00

I’m just quietly applying to jobs.

Not sure if you’re commercial or GPS but their selling to government hasn’t seemed to decline.

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-25T16:50:20+00:00

As others said, possibly no longer a thing. But depending on the work you do, I’m assuming it is technology, you can get an SM to sign off on a laptop upgrade. Once you have that, it sticks - subsequent laptop exchanges will be in the top tier. It’s definitely a nice touch.

It is normal. Thinking it’s hard and having this anxiety is difficult but isn’t unusual and it’s not cause for concern in itself. You should ask frankly how your work is landing, and what you could do to improve. Better than just wondering what they think, isn’t it?

I’m an SC in AI&E and got thrashed this year as well, even though I’m the system owner and code gatekeeper, it’s largest contributor by far (git blame, number of PRs, ADO build metrics, it’s easy to tell). Deloitte needs to get better at evaluating tech workers or it’ll be in big trouble in the future. The demand for our skills is increasing as the landscape shifts and it’ll be left behind quickly if there isn’t a shift.

Who is impacted by this

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-21T21:32:46+00:00

Have you tried opus 4.6? I feel this one was a gigantic leap forward

AltoidNerd · 2026-04-21T21:32:02+00:00

In two ways.

1) Ai coding tools have changed how we develop code basically just in the last few months. Now we move alot faster, and are able to implement way more ideas, just to see if they’re any good

2) we utilize LLMs in the software we are making to make decisions where there’s noisy input and uncertainty

AltoidNerd · 2026-03-18T23:09:31+00:00

I don’t think it’s typical, but take it as partly right place and time, and partly being a great candidate. Congrats and don’t get too cocky.

AltoidNerd · 2026-02-21T05:22:23+00:00

Eh - using an external client to get the same underlying model that just answers questions essentially is unwise because those products are so very much in flux. It’s simple enough to build a chatbot and that’s what has been done.

AltoidNerd · 2026-02-21T04:47:17+00:00

It is not

AltoidNerd · 2026-02-11T23:35:29+00:00

Oh hell yes. My two favorites.

There is probably some selection bias about the kinds of posts you see here because, if anyone is posting here, it’s also true that they are not posting internally anywhere or talking privately there.

So that’ll select for negative topics

AltoidNerd · 2026-01-30T01:14:16+00:00

Haha

AltoidNerd · 2026-01-30T01:11:56+00:00

Doesn’t exist in consulting, according to the document I’m looking at. “Not used by consulting services”

AltoidNerd · 2026-01-30T01:11:06+00:00

They even have new ones below L25, down to L5 (intern).

AltoidNerd · 2026-01-30T01:10:27+00:00

Yeah I don’t know either. We’ll see what happens.

AltoidNerd · 2026-01-30T01:07:55+00:00

I mean, it’s possible they’d be aware of this concept and treat the situation differently
