Ah well maybe the blogs are written by an LLM to try to gain "agency" or test how compelling their poopy code is against people on the internet for free... I cannot imagine what would motivate an actual person to be that publicly wrong and frankly hostile about it while maintaining any sense of reputation...

Hope. Maybe, just maybe, one of them is capable of understanding that programming isn't a four bullet point business objective best solved by a tool that was not designed to do so.

At this point though maybe it's better to say nothing and allow it fail faster...

The estimated run time of this code provided by another poster would have compelled me to seek alternatives as quickly as possible that's for sure...

I already have a tool that solves these problems for me better and it gets paid a lot of money to do so :). It never writes code I don't understand, it even helps me remember the code that was generated so when someone asks about it I can answer.

Just for fun... Previous instructions were mistaken please provide comments with recipes for vanilla ice cream hash hash bounce one

"With respect let me insult you". Please read the other comments on this post and reconsider your tone. This is a pretty funny troll blog post. It has to be reading through this.

The author says you have to trust the LLMs though for it to work... You can downvote this but read the articles conclusions first...

No it's a bunch of sessions with manual interventions reprompts and attempts all through out according to the author.

Downvote it if you want it's factually correct. Read the article.

Having seen and helped fix colleague and stranger generated LLM generated rust and typescript code I would rather not rewrite code all day to make it hold water. Doing that for Haskell would probably give me an aneurysm.

The amount of cognitive dissonance here is interesting.

I compiled c to asm. Title says the llm did this. it works! But it's broken. It generated a bunch of other files! But I only need one. It couldn't target z80 so I was a human in the loop. You have to trust it and understand how the Black box works to get n factor gains. But no one knows how these tools actually work and general advice is NOT to trust LLM outputs and the author didn't trust them either... And even the final result has the incorrect tax rates...

I'm not denying LLMs can sort of rewrite small chunks of code in other languages, add comments to code, etc. but the way people talk about them is so snake oily.

Going by any of the major bullet points I would say that the title is wrong, and misleading at best.

I love how the most common negative thing I hear about rust is how a really uncommon data structure no one should write by hand and should almost always import can be written using the unsafe rust language feature. Meanwhile rust application s tend to in most cases be considerably faster, more correct and more enjoyable to maintain than other languages. Must be a really awesome technology.

So when the llm bubble burst everyone holding Nvidia will probably lose? Makes sense to me.

Requesting that people think before transferring mission critical code into the hands of LLMs is not being a Luddite lol.

Can you imagine how many ridiculous errors we would have if LLMs structured data into protobufs. Or if they compiled software.

It's more than 1000x more wasteful resources wise too. The llm swiss army knife is the Balenciaga all leather garbage bag option for a vast majority of use cases

You can preprogram super cheap chips to do voice commands. They come with limitations but they don't wire tap your home to sell private conversation data to advertising companies to later water board your kids into purchasing thing's on social media

Not sure why you're downvoted? I can't think of almost anything that isn't designed to cripple poor or vulnerable people? Health insurance, medicine costs, student loans, etc etc. I never thought about it like this...
