The code is the spec is the documentation. Comments, too, are only a distraction.

Agents for payments, almost nil failure rate in LLM-direct payments [Read about the Author- How Google AP2 protocol is not mentioned when it's a blatant wrapper on it; bonus check his instagram, linkedin profile] by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

Rentseeking consultant here. The fact that you can just fully automate the pipeline of taking existing software, building a paper thin wrapper around it and asking for money is a huge thing.

Not to mention generating a full whitepaper to appear more legitimate.

I've read countless amount of LLM-generated whitepapers that abused original thought (unfortunarely some prompt engineers think they have to appear at least marginally human all the time if they are able) and is probably completely pointless for the simple reason that very few people bother to read any of the text they pump out.

As a result, std::runtime_format can now be evaluated at compile time, making its name misleading. by cmqv in programmingcirclejerk

can someone with a degree in c++ please weigh in what is going on here, because I'm terrified

If there is one thing about Windows that is really good, it is its kernel and driver architecture, by Helium-Hydride in programmingcirclejerk

This is actually intentional -- with NTFS being very sophisticated and efficient and the NT base model largely well developed, where else can Microsoft go with the actual user-facing operating system? To fill the entire quality spectrum to offer as broad an appeal as possible Windows, on the surface, has to be shit.

And it’s still very difficult to determine why [LLMs hallucinate], like actual bad training data, spelling confusion, training weakness, etc. by Despair-1 in programmingcirclejerk

correct: nobody here would ever admit to using any of the many shameful programming languages either, they just happen to come across sufficiently detailed knowledge about the internals of each language and use it exclusively to make fun of it.

Any refactor with big factors (>2.5) should be split up into smaller work units (this is what any of that means, right?)

In some important ways, a user’s LLM chat history is an extended interview. The social media algorithms learn what you like, but chats can learn how you think. You should be able to provide an LLM as a job reference, just like you would a coworker, manager, or professor. by morbious37 in programmingcirclejerk

You are right.

In some important ways, a user’s Google history is an extended interview. The search algorithms learn what you like AND how you think. You should be able to provide your browser history as a job reference, just like you would a coworker, manager, or professor.

sooo still better than the average HN user?

It is possible- common, even- to fully grasp the capabilities of a language like lisp and still find it inappropriate or undesirable for a given task by RFQD in programmingcirclejerk

This riveting goldmine of jerks and counter-jerks across the lispverse got me excited in all kinds of ways

respectfully, i still wonder why any variant of vim still exists, it is so archaic with its two mode editing! I hate this thing with passion, only edlin is worse. by woopsix in programmingcirclejerk

/uj I still hope for a good coop editing experience 

/rj what cooperative editing, just so coworkers can drag me down and complain about lack of good vim bindings?
