  Yeah it’s not a miracle, but it’s probably useful. I find the most common scenario for when the LLM wasted my time was when I was asking it how to do something which can’t be done. Like I would ask it how to use library X to do operation Y, where in truth library X doesn’t support operation Y. Rather than responding that I should find a different library, it would just make up some functions or parameters. When it works well, it’s faster than hunting down the docs or finding examples/tutorials.

  I’d be interested in some proper studies, but most of the devs I know, myself included, use it for reference at least. Haven’t met a vibe coder yet though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs’ “simulated reasoning” abilities are a “brittle mirage,” researchers find⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t read the paper, but the description suggests that the models which were tested were specifically created with a very limited set of training data. I can understand the argument that this might allow researchers to evaluate one property in a simplified environment, namely logic generalization. But it could also be argued that general logic is an emergent property, and limiting the LLM in this way prevents it from reaching that complexity threshold.

  I’m not sure if the intent of including the two transformations in the training data was an attempt to provide the LLM with at least one opportunity to generalize between known phenomena before asking it to further generalize.

  Skill issue.

  People don’t hate on Epic because their store has content. They hate on Epic because they tried to buy market share with exclusivity deals. Nobody wants PC gaming to turn into the streaming services.
