At the risk of sounding new age, my answer to this is "emotional work".
What exactly that would mean in the equivalent of the post-agrarian society that LLMs might bring, I cannot know.

Once every couple of years I dive into it, I still cannot complete it without cheat codes, but I love the mouse animation, the "mirror" prince, and many other amazing details!
"The accountability gap" Here’s the question nobody’s asking: when it goes wrong, who carries the bag? (..)
"What to do instead"
"The craft still matters"
The article kind of lost me here. Agents are way more than that, today. And the author knows it, as later it says stuff like
> Claude will never do this. It’s trained to be helpful.
But the first phrase just tell me author just have a deep dislike for agents and it's looking for rationalizations for that feeling.
Part of the criticism is on point, sure. But if it "being trained to be helpful" is a problem, it's fixable. It can "be trained to be more critical".
Later:
> But it wasn’t designed for your team. (..) It was designed for the median of everything Claude has seen. A generic best practice for a generic problem at a generic company. Which is to say, it was designed for nobody.
That's non-sense. Anybody who understand algorithms know that, sure, on a first instance you have a "good algorithm" that has a good performance on average, or in worst-case. But then, you can design algorithms that are adaptive to the input. Same applies here.
"As temperature approaches zero from the negative side, the model output will again be deterministic — but this time, the least likely tokens will be output."
I understand this as, a negative number far from zero is also quite random (just with a distribution that will produce unlikely tokens).
So, no compilers for you neither ?
(To be fair: I'm not loving the whole vibe coding thing. But I'm trying to approach this wave with open mind, and looking for the good arguments in both side. This is not one of them)
There are plenty of smart devices (including lighbulbs, sensor movements, and what not)t hat use bluetooh, or protocols like Zigbee that enable all kind of functionality without wifi password.
This has been the real game changer for me. As instant gratification is not so instant, I can go way larger stretches of time without checking the phone. Also, as nowadays most people message, and calls are not so common (at least in my circles), there is no "harm".
I would bet that most people agree with banning sales of alcohol, cigarettes and opioid to kids.
Of course Wikipedia is way smaller than the internet, but still one way to go could be by having themed "human curated niches"
If not, do you realize that you claiming " If it was survivorship bias some of these appliances would've died." When "these" refers exclusively to those who haven't died is the very definition of survivorship bias?
Anyways, as someone who identifies both as a computer scientist and as a dancer, I can definitely relate to your experience:-)
> Hawking announced: “I have changed my mind. My book, A Brief History of Time, is written from the wrong perspective.”
Each time this happens I try to recruit more people to use Signal.
After all the debate here in HN about the interpretation of the data and the statistics, I'm really looking forward to see a post in 15 years with the new study.
"The Norwegian insisted there was more he wanted to say but was limited in what he could do without explicit permission from Niemann to speak openly."
Anyone has the original source?
"I'm sharing this work because I hope to start a conversation about what could be possible within C++’s own evolution to rejuvenate C++, now that we have C++20 and soon C++23 to build upon."
Clearly this is relevant for c++ itself (coming from Sutter), so I'd say it's quite unfair/misguided to call it "just a distraction from more relevant efforts."
I had seen it before (maybe here in HN), but I was convinced that it was a prank.
Can anyone confirm the authenticity of this ?
I just read the whole [0] reference, and I could not find anything related to your claim. Can you give specific examples ? Or can you explain how the article supports your claim ?
