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 and it might even work! As long as you don't plan to update it or do anything too complex with it....

@glyph The fact it produced something working at all, even after that month of spare time IS truly amazing.
(Fuck, is THIS where the so-called "Magnificent 7" 's standards are these days? -_- )

@glyph what’s the context here. Feels like I missed some news
@volkersfreunde @glyph It's easy to find, but someone published a html5 parser in Python. Someone else converted that to javascript using llm. Both by very experienced developers.

> As models have gotten better, I've seen steady increases in test coverage.
These are not the words of an engineer.

@stuartl @glyph Power is measured as watts, or joules ÷ time.
Energy is measured as Joules, or slightly obscurely, as Power × time, as in Watt-hours.
So a megawatt-hour is a measurement of energy. It's the amount of every required to run a Megawatt of power for 1 hour (or 1 watt for 1 million hours, etc)

@bornach @GroupNebula563 @glyph because of delta t
The higher your temperature difference going in and the lower your temperature difference going out, the cheaper it is to get rid of heat
@RichiH @bornach @GroupNebula563 @glyph so basically they're transferring as much GPU heat into the (evaporated) water as possible, and don't wanna do the hard work of cooling it down again, since it's easier to just pump in new water from the existing tap water infrastructure?

@RichiH @GroupNebula563 @glyph
Why can't they do that with sea water then recondense that evaporated water as desalinated rain to provide drinking water to a community or irrigate a desert or something?@bornach @RichiH @GroupNebula563 @glyph Using seawater as your heat dump would actually work pretty well. Except there isn't any nearby. Coastal land is at a price premium, and data centers are built where land is cheap, usually on the outskirts of towns or cities. Even if you built one near the coast, tapping large quantities of seawater and returning it warmer would mean environmental review and permitting, and in the rush to ride the bandwagon there is no time to wait for such things.

@riverpunk @RichiH @bornach @GroupNebula563 @glyph Pretty much. You could run it without evaporation, but that would mean higher energy use. Evaporating water is just the most cost-effective means of cooling in warmer climate, unless you have a convenient river next door.
It's exactly the same equipment as in a power station cooling tower. Just scaled down.

Aside from social aspects, there's also a technical one:
Sea water is aggressive to metal tubes, especially when heated up.
Additionally, the minerals it contains remain as solids when the water is evaporated. -

I immediately thought of this too XD -

@glyph Well. when you say it like that, it's hard to not be ..... impressed :D

@stuartl @riverpunk @glyph Physicists use joules. They are more appropriate in almost all applications.
The business side of power delivery uses watt-hours because it makes the billing calculations much easier and more intuitive.

@glyph 🤯 LLM's are basically the "I made pasta out of pasta" meme on a collosal scale aren't they?

And yet, without the LLM, that senior engineer would have spent that month writing boilerplate instead of orchestrating the synthesis. It's almost like tools are force multipliers, not magic wands. Who knew?
Wait until they find out how much source code, energy, and senior engineer time went into building the compiler that built the library.
Abstraction layers are wild, aren't they?

@mirano if they're laughable, it should be easy to disprove them, no?
also, do learn about luddites. luddites weren't against progress; and they were right.

Fortunatamente l'iniziativa è dell'unità CNECT/E3 (che è molto collaborativa), e non CNECT/C3.
Con la C3 abbiamo avuto un'esperienza a dir poco surreale e sicuramente poco incoraggiante per l'open-source:

@rl_dane I once dropped my work Thinkpad down two flights of concrete stairs. Still worked. They're indestructible. 🔥
