My read is the Waymo was operating normally in a situation a human would operate with heightened awareness and caution. This is not the win they think it is.

I think I made it to about here haha

> One can no longer know whether such a repository was “vibe” coded by a non-technical person who has never written a single line of code, or an experienced developer, who may or may not have used LLM assistance.

I am talking about what it means to invert that phrase.

The original phrase "talk is cheap" is generally used to mean "it's easy to say a whole lot of shit and that talk often has no real value." So this cleaver headline is telling me the code has even less value than the talk. That alone betrays a level of ignorance I would expect from the author's work. I go to read the article and it confirmed my suspicion.

IDK man it feels like you are making a less-useful unsafe wheel.

- file types exist for a reason

- this is just prompt engineering which is already easy to do

I've tried Go scripting but would still still prefer python (uv is a game changer tbh). My go-to for automation will always be powershell (on linux) though. It's too bad PowerShell has the MSFT ick keeping people away from adopting it for automation. I can convince you to give it a try if you let me

Anyone who has had the pleasure of being forced to migrate to their new Fabric product can tell you why sales are low. It's terrible not just because it's a rushed buggy pile of garbage they want people to Alpha test on users but because of the "AI First" design they are forcing into it. They hide so much of what's happening in the background it is hard to feel like you can trust any of it. Like agentic "thinking" models with zero way to look into what it did to get to the conclusion.

Windows 10 will be the last msft os I ever use. I rebuilt using AMD CPU/GP booted up Fedora 42 and I have never had to run a single shell command to get anything to work. I don't even notice my OS. Work, games, local models (this one still takes some tweaking but is better), all work fine

LLMs by definition do not make facts. You will never be able to eliminate hallucinations. It's practically impossible.

Big tech created a problem for themselves by allowing people to believe the things their products generate using LLMs are facts.

We are only reaching the obvious conclusion of where this leads.
