  • and because junior devs are going extinct, I am apparently also supposed to just shrivel up and die, I guess. I can’t convince my bosses that avoiding new code being written (they want us all in on low-code/no-code platforms) because junior devs straight up don’t know how to code anymore is a ticking time bomb.

    If they don’t have the critical thinking skills to understand one screenful of code, how do they think they’ll actually fare when the same logic is split between 50 projects running in different environments, with undocumented tight coupling and no tool that can understand all of it at once (like an lsp server for code) with each line being on a different page hidden behind 30 mouse clicks?










  • “conditional on the context and the model’s learned parameters.” you seem to be under the wrong impression that “random dice roll” == “random dice roll from a uniform distribution”. I didn’t say that. If it outputs a probability distribution, which it does, then you sample it randomly according to that distribution, not a uniform one.

    As for your last paragraph: I wasn’t, I didn’t do that, and if that’s all the system can do then people should stop claiming it is even remotely intelligent. Whatever the excuses, the systems aren’t (and won’t be getting) there. If you’re trying to get me to empathize with a couple of matrices, then you’re not going to succeed.

    I don’t care if you get offended because someone else doesn’t like your line of work. I think what you do is actively harmful to humanity. I also dislike weapons manufacturers, how they feel about it is irrelevant. You’re no different
