You mean the scale that AWS provides with Bedrock?

I think at very least, the diagrams are AI generated too.

> https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0554/0567/4694/files/strai... The middle component has teeth on the inside half way round, should be smooth on the inside.

The rest of the website seems filled with just as much slop too...

Did you submit any ID for the numerous services that now require it? Regardless of your answer, the fact they’re now asking for it is a problem.

Surely because LLM generated code is part of the training data for the model, so code/patterns it can work with is closer to its training data.

Not trying to defend windows, but this is probably more likely down the stupid defaults Windows has by the fact it hides extensions by default. So if you name a file foo.pdf, you’ll see it as ‘foo.pdf’ but it’s actually called ‘foo.pdf.txt’. I can’t for the life of me figure out why this is the default, but it’s been this way for decades.

What do you mean you don’t need to understand? So what do you do when there’s a bug that an LLM can’t fix?

If your bottleneck is typing the code, you must be a junior programmer.

If that’s the case, then mentioning using LLMs to help translate/organise what you want to say in your messages might be taken a bit better by others.

If you want to use LLMs to help express something you don’t know the words for in English then that is a good use for LLMs, if it’s called out. Otherwise your messages scream LLM bot to native speakers.

“You’re absolutely right”, “That hits different”, “Good call!” “–“ are all classic LLM giveaways.

I’m not a moderator here, so you don’t have to listen to me either way.

These posts will destroy this place. Post your AI written tools if you like - fine, but using an LLM to reply to comments is just insulting, and will make this place a wasteland of LLM. I wouldn’t post this if I didn’t care about the usual good quality of the discussions on this site.

Based on what?

C/C++ compilers can get huge compile time speed ups by compiling translation units as Unity files. For my work AAA game engine, a compiler can use 8GB+ per unit.

Just splitting up code might allow the compiler to use less memory, but compile time will increase hugely.

I didn't flag, but what does this have to do with tech/start-up culture? If you want to read/discuss American politics, surely theres better places to do that.

Can I raise you with Word and outlook adding ‘smart’ quotes, and Excel destroying CSV data?
