I did not misunderstood anything clanker.

I don't even know who you are.

I was answering user "lomase".


The same reason you need to use LLMs to code.

Do you copy and paste every comment you make on HN or is this just for me?

Imagine.

Saying your life is about filling PRs on you phone while walking your dog is not the flex you think it is.

These are PRs against my own personal projects. I enjoy hobbies.

Criticizing other people's hobbies isn't the flex you think it is.


Neither one of those comments should have received replies. Just flag and move on.

Everybody enjoy their hobbies captain.

I mean people use the internet to find people who like similar things.

Why would you use a site called HackerNews if you are not a hacker? No idea.


I'm not a hacker I'm just news unfortunately

Because they are not a hacker, but post on hackernews every day.

Big time.


I'm not a true believer, but even I wouldn't say they have hit a wall.

What makes you say that?


They haven't improved at all since then in my experience. I poke at them every now and then and they still can't refrain from feeding me false info (and likely never will be able to, because they are stochastic parrots without any actual understanding). They are useless to me because I will take more time checking their output than I will just doing the task myself.


> and they still can't refrain from feeding me false info

If that's your metric, and even then only if you've got a boolean yes/no measurement, then I agree.

If you measure "false info" as a percent, they're better. If you measure scores on IQ tests, on general knowledge, on exams, on the size of a code problem they can write before they have a 20% chance of failure, on the quality of translations they make, on the new modalities like being able to both consume and respond with images, on mathematical olympiad questions, then they're significantly better.

Unfortunately, we can tell by the general public reaction (not just you) that even all those things combined still don't fully capture what normal people mean by "intelligence".

> They are useless to me because I will take more time checking their output than I will just doing the task myself.

What size problem do you give them? I use them in software, and try to keep each single task I give them to ones which would take a human 90 minutes. I can check the quality of an attempt at a human-would-take-90-minutes-to-do task in about 5 minutes.

When I've accidentally let an LLM do bigger tasks than that, then the difficulty of checking goes way up and the quality of the output goes way down.

Conveniently, one of the tasks that generally takes a human less than 90 minutes is breaking down a bigger task in to sub-tasks that themselves take less than 90 minutes. Fail do do this and I get exactly what you experience.


Is not American so nobody here cares...


I bet nobody knew/wanted to touch that code.

So they just wrote something worse with less features in React.

Peak web development.


No, they absolutely know. They've been very very slowly migrating stuff over to the new Settings panel bit by bit. If you look at what's in Control Panel now, it's maybe half as much as what used to be in there ten years ago.

That said, it's insanely ridiculous that it's taken 10 years to get it even halfway done.


Yes, and that means that settings in one edition of Win 11 no longer exist in the next one as they rewrite the settings code.


Clanker.


LLMs are not people.

We want a format for LLMs or for people?


As a person myself, I very much prefer JSON


MCP isn't meant for humans though, I'm not side why it matters what a human would prefer


JSON schema is very human readable.


Why does that matter though? MCP is meant for LLMs not humans, and for something like this lib it seems the human side if the API is based on JavaScript not JSON.
