@glyph Did you quote post something?

@glyph I found this really insightful. The core of my discomfort with LLMs in software development is the disregard for costs. I think I have good language to talk about the personal and societal costs, but the organizational costs are where the rubber meets the road.

@glyph It comes as no surprise that checking costs would be a major overlooked (or more likely, ignored) cost. That cost applies to human output as well, and many organizations seem to be under-investing already.

@SnoopJ I don't have a native x86 machine but it's surprising how the reliability of games is like:
1. proton
2. codeweavers
3. windows/arm VM on parallelsthere are things that run on one that don't run on the other two, but proton runs substantially *more* software than real Windows-on-ARM does

@SnoopJ @cthos @glyph There's some compatibility advantages over just pure Windows, even. It's pretty easy to just create a whole new Wine prefix, tell programs running in that prefix that it's a different version of Windows, then run them that way. Basically, side-by-side installing multiple copies of Windows.
That's a bit extreme, but it's nice to have that option.

@glyph This is a big challenge for The Onion. They had a thing months ago about ICE releasing a decapitation video of Gavin Newsom. To beat the horrifying absurdity of real life, you may have to dive beneath it & you may sort of lose something, some shred of humanity, in the process.

@glyph I want to sit every nerd down and explain to them that if you expect your users to know what's inside their computer you are excluding 95% of your potential audience
@jalefkowit You realise that for nerds, excluding 95% of their audience is a feature, right? That’s why they have a word for them: “normies.”

@glyph if you ignore all the shit that happened for money and then failed, we are only growing stronger.

@glyph I feel it is always worth remembering that these things are contingent and genealogical rather than teleological and unified.
The revolution existed at the same time as the rest and the pieces are all there, and capital is doing its best to capture the value after the disruption

@glyph I have been trying to say exactly this for quite a while now and never made it concise enough. Thank you

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer

@glyph yes'nt (because it will force me to finally purchase and play this game)
