The mini was not mini enough.

Breaches don’t happen often enough to be a useful metric. Most smaller companies are never breached, despite having basically zero security.

You mean you roll a single die and use the value to index an array of players?

That’s the pragmatic solution. The article is about an interesting mathematical puzzle, not actually solving a real problem.

Also, an n-sided die is fair for 2 to n players if you discard rolls above the number of players.

Sweden is very well positioned due to well developed hydro, but when germany was forced to give up russian gas, more electricity was exported, causing record high prices.

Interestingly, the hydro plants are located in the north and the national power grid is not dimensioned for massive export, so the export to germany from the south of sweden caused a strong price gradient.

They might as well invest in cold fusion, warm superconductivity, curing cancer or whatever sci-fi concept you have.

Would the llm work better if it was given the job ad and asked where the job was located?

It seems to me that such simplified tasks tend work better. The rest of the loop is just scraping websites, which doesn’t really have a reason to rely on ai agents.

You actually planned everything in advance, and didn't have to go back and correct mistakes?

Because if you ever go back a step, it is no longer the waterfall model, but an iterative process.

Getting to a state where those assumptions are true is HARD. And takes a lot of careful programming.

Yes. Once it is true, the code is easy to write. But only because a lot of effort went into making it easy. And keeping it easy is also hard. Without focused effort to keep the code clean and easy to modify, it starts to rot.

How does not everyone understand this? It's why waterfall development never worked.

An engineer using an llm is absolutely nothing like an llm itself being the engineer.

The most successful example so far of en llm developing on its own is the C compiler that ended up a broken buggy mess.

You mean anthropic and the others wouldn’t hype that up like there was no tomorrow?

Occams razor suggest there is nothing.
