@Logical_Error some people say "we're running out of data to train AI, and that's a problem. we need more data"

but no. that's not the problem. the problem is that you can't make LLMs that are experts on every single field, even after training them on all the public data.

@ljs

I guess mine is a tiny complaint compared to you... even korean workholics don't work like that :'(

life sometimes forces unavoidable pain on us but it's important to keep going

I need a break, but I can't take off so just zoning out for 30 minutes

@Logical_Error yeah AI is quite a nice tool if you can review them.

But decoding the ideas behind the code from history and past discussions takes time (no matter you are human or AI)

it's really sad that people do that.
what do these people care then?

bittersweet because people report bugs on features they don't use rather than fixing them and stepping up to help?

when I open Mastodon, and think "hmm, there's a name and profile picture that I don't recognize. who is it?"

and then I realize: oh wait, it's @lkundrak !

the last few names I remember is "hammer smashed filesystem" and "pope of nope"

I don't find code commentary helpful unless it explains the design first, because these days the implementation is way too complicated for readers to grasp the design by reading the implementation.

Oftentimes such code commentary mechanically describes list of statements, rather than explaining the idea behind it.

A well-written document should try to describe the idea behind the implementation, rather than the implementation itself. (Yeah, that's challenging)

They don't save much time compared to directly reading the code.

(some random rant of the day)

I used think that using en/em dashes in writing is pretty elegant... until LLMs started ruining them, and now using them makes it look like it was generated by an LLM.
