Have you been walking since you were a child? Or were you raised in a car-centric culture, and discovered as an adult that you prefer walking?

My father loves cars, but he also walks everywhere, so the former.

I don't know what model you're using or how you're prompting it, but for me some 60-80% of the time the results require only a little bit of steering to be 'acceptable' (like at least what I would expect from a junior engineer and I'll approve the PR even though it's not quite how I would do it), some 30% of the time the results are pretty much what I would do, and some 10% of the time the results are better than what I would do ("huh, good idea, okay let's do it that way").

They're not perfect by any stretch but if they're being likened to slot machines for code, I'll take those odds almost every day.

Isaac Newton tried to keep his Calculus secret and almost got scooped by Leibniz. IMO trying to hoard knowledge is not a great look; we all (mostly) have a sense that knowledge belongs to humanity as a whole.

I'm a committed open source dev and I've flipped my own switch from "default public" to "default private".

What is "500TW/h"? If you mean 500TWh, is that 500TWh/year?

If you think some more about it you'll figure it out from context.

I'll give you a hint though: It's a typo and the same sentence contains the word "annually".

At least now you know I don't use AI for my insufferable comments. Good luck!

They were saying, if you want to see the end state of lack of oil. Like how would it look if your oil spigot were turned off? A lot of people haven't thought about it.

How many companies have a memory fab? How many companies can build a memory fab?

In both cases, more than 1!

Hm, are you sure? I was under the impression that only ASML could build SOTA fabs.

> I was under the impression that only ASML could build SOTA fabs.

You're correct that this is true, but wrong in that it is not relevant.

SOTA fabs are used for cutting edge CPU/GPU chips. You do not need a SOTA fab to create DDR5 memory or SSD memory. There are a number of companies able to create the lithography machines to do so, and dozens of actual operators of those machines.

I am having a similar concern about the toxic asymmetry of LLM PRs. So I came up with a taxomony of AI Levels and am asking all contributors to self-assess the level of AI involved in making their PR.

It's not unusual for my initial output (as a programmer) not to compile either. I wouldn't say I "failed" if I can then get it to compile. Which as people are saying, is what happens with Claude Code and Opus, either automatically or at most when I say "get it to compile".

But when it doesn’t compile for me, I don’t claim it’s finished.

Something is really wrong with your setup and I can't tell what it is from these high-level descriptions. Would you be willing to hop on a videochat and walk through this simple case? I'd be really curious to figure out what's going on, it's pretty atypical.
