What leaps? The marketing large feats like "broke out of containment", "hacked 10 companies"? Or "I recreated a mess of a codebase no one cares and can maintain with Claude"

IDEs are for professionals. I understand that LLMs can one shot a weather app, and I get that it's exciting, but this is not the case with complex software.

Pretty telling how you somehow seem to conflate deporting people who have no documentation, and committing human right abuses, sending people to their death, murdering US citizens, recruiting racists and alt-right extremists, and anyone. Improperly training agents, racial profiling. Abolishing an organization that engages in those things is a "rhetoric" to you. You clearly don't have any problem with any those things, the only thing you care about, is well, deporting those "illegals".

I got a 64gb 6000mt/s kit for 250 recently. Not a humble brag.

Claude Anal is launching this fall, featuring an usage of quintillion liters of water per second and enough energy to pulverize the world, ten times over, kilowatts hour. It also managed to escape containment from our cutting edge UMBRELLA-like special facility by killing everyone and then impersonating one of our scientists to infiltrate human society. We've managed to apprehend this Claude Anal "bot" for now, but Claude Anal is so dangerous, we aren't sure what to do with it, if to release it at all. Anyways, it's coming out this fall for only $99/67 tokens. But it's totally dangerous so we might have to lobotomize it.

Jetbrains IDEs are a perfect solution for this. They expose IDE actions (e.g, search, see occurrences, go to implementation) in their MCP server, which the harnesses can then call directly instead of figuring out the code themselves.

I'll never get lack of sex used as an insult, unless you are a teenager. Is your self worth that tied to sexual activity so to use it as an insult? Is it that a rare thing to "achieve" for you to put it on a pedestal and demean others based on the lack of it?

I stopped caring for a couple of years during the Marvel slop era. Lately me and my girlfriend have gone to watch movies like the Backrooms, Obsession, and that has reignited my interest in movie theaters. Even though the food is really overpriced, it's fun to watch a good film, eat some popcorn.

Local man refutes science because it disagrees with his beliefs. "I know I'm right, it's {X entity} trying to brainwash us".

Historically women couldn't vote, and black people were segregated and worse. I guess those things were "created and forced into the lexicon by political activists" terms back them I guess.

The core thing is that one term humanizes a group of people that contributes to communities, pay taxes, the other dehumanizes them and opens the gate to justifying well, criminalization and prosecuting. You decided to choose the later.

Local man says science is wrong. "It doesn't align with my beliefs, so it's wrong. The {insert imaginary animous entity} controls science", he says.

Exactly. They should be put in concentration camps or something. The children are little delinquents too, they should go too. We should also create an organization that hires highly motivated individuals without proper background checks, often animous against the group they're supposed to police, give them lousy training and let them run amok without oversight or punishment for abuse of authority, who cares anyways? They shouldn't have crossed the border, those pesky criminals. Asylum? Not our problem. Criminals don't deserve it. Send them down to be murdered or whatever.

Criminals don't pay taxes, don't contribute to communities as far as I know. That's a quite positive outcome for the "illegal" immigration given the history of the US's destabilization of southern countries. You could advocate for a better country, yet you decide to punch down. That's quite telling, not much has changed in the United States compared to the 19th century.

Can you not be so obtuse? If you are implying that, as a generalization, to you, the West is superior, just say that.

Such broad categorization about that vast of a nation seems disparaging to me. Grouping an entire nation on a label, and marking it inferior to your own.

It seems to me this is the most reasonable approach. Using LLMs to remove the cognitive load from implementation details, scaffolding, and taking it from there to production grade code. In short, like an IDE on steroids.

I'm curious and hear a lot about agentic programming, yet hear little about the cognitive load from it. Having more code generated doesn't make you more productive, in fact, I would argue the contrary is the case. There's more code to understand, more code to discard, an extra decision (which result do I pick? How do I split the workload through my agents), which is not at all how we operate (I. E context switching, limited by our cognitive energy, working task by task).

I really don't buy the whole agentic thing. The only reasonable use case I can see for it, is to scaffold multiple projects at the same time.
