Gaia [She/Her]

I guess I kind of see it like this: I wouldn’t touch C or C++ without a 10-ft pole. Rust is my 10-ft pole.

That being said, I think python occupies a very different space from rust and allows for super rapid prototyping so I wouldn’t conflate the two

Sounds like he’s just mad something he made is being replaced with something that is better in every conceivable way

Sorry bud but most people are focusing on rust, not python, and you’ve been lapped by them several times over.

As an interviewer, you do not have the elevated role necessary to determine if your method of interview results in better candidates, especially since you didn’t try any alternatives beyond an automated code submission. This is intellectual dishonesty that serves to shelter the author from thinking critically about the affects their actions actually have.

Yes lol

They could achieve complete political cogency by acknowledging the validity of leftist criticism, but they choose to instead wrap themselves up in more rationalizations.

It blows the liberal mind when Putin tells the truth.

The training data here is exaggerated more, actually. This task should take kilobytes, max, and would finish in a fraction of a second. Also, no self-respecting ML engineer would put together an ML system without accounting for every data type.

Yeah I don’t really get this, you can come to deterministic mathematic conclusions with ML, it just requires different structuring of the problem. While area of a rectangle may not need optimization, there are many such places that do, like file compression, which requires perfectly accurate results.

I see it this way: If you want a mathematically “unique” idea, it should be “perpendicular” to the rest of your thinking. If things contradict, they “intersect”. An LLM CAN do such a thing, but it needs the appropriate context to achieve true perpendicularity to all dimensions. The space of problems the LLMs know how to solve is much smaller than the space we’ve utilized. Their problem solving space is only increasing. We need to socialize these machines now, imo. They are nascent but very dangerous. I think we’re lucky they’re mostly being used to farm content.

So it somehow claims to outpace the technology that underpins it? This is ridiculous at best.

I see it as a dog whistle at this point. Literally “no I changed the rules u can’t do that” like a fucking three-year-old. Death to them.

Is there a reason you want to start with lisp? If you’re like, intellectually incapable of complex languages, the simple one I’m familiar with is python, which works great for a beginner who doesn’t want to get into the nitty gritty of implementation. As long as you’re not developing for a business or similar, I doubt you’ll even notice there is an efficiency difference. IMO, the increased readability is tantamount to Python’s usefulness to newbies.

I dunno if it’s autism since I despise C++ lmao

I don’t use C++ and I complain about it all the time. Never have I had a project that couldn’t be completed in equal or better accuracy in something other than C++, and the amount of development time it adds on just to use the damn thing is prohibitive. Let alone fast compilation for iterative design, or reduction in boilerplate. I feel the only thing C++ has is seniority and a smidgen of performance, and performance is rapidly being approached or exceeded by projects like rust.

I think there are two types of programming languages:

Good ones that are expressive and readable, like you need from a language.

And

Things that sorely need replacement.

Sorry, I just really fucking hate that quote. It’s so pretentious and stupid, and doesn’t allow for the development of anything new unless people don’t like it. Programmers are surprisingly conservative.

I stupidly thought that since everyone uses computers and they are getting more popular, I could pursue my passion as a career. Still waiting on an entry level job.
