I'm pretty nonchalant with coworkers to begin with, when it comes to LLMs i sometimes am curious how well it can handle slang, and other times, since it's a program, am extremely rude. Their whole purpose is to handle natural language after all.

It was seriously taking THREE SECONDS to render the chat prompt??? How do you possibly write an app that badly?

I've played music for twenty years and can't read sheet music to save my life. Pretty easy to learn the shapes and patterns on a keyboard or guitar without reading sheet music (easier on guitar) and i figure with drums like, while i might Google the chords of a song for guitar, I've never known any drummer that would learn a cover song via notation

Yah there's certainly no fraud, bureaucracy, or gilded walls involved in the tech industry

Well generally we monitor their heart and lungs to see whether they died

Well i can tell you what i think: music isn't math and whoever told you that is wrong.

To further underline the point: entire cultures' musical traditions don't follow the circle of fifths, or notation as you're likely familiar with it, or even notes that follow the kinds of ratios you might use to describe western musical scales of any kind. The mathematical representations of western music were applied in retrospect, math never played any role in the development of western music anyway.

So considering math was never a factor in the development of western music and the math used to describe western music doesn't even apply universally, i just can't really consider "music is math" to be a meaningful statement at all

I thought "oh, I'll just click through to the original post and read it there" and wow, what a mistake. Just the most obnoxious slop-filled over-animated endlessly distracting claudesite I've ever seen in my life.

Run it twice

The live music image in their collage is hilarious: it's blurring the backs of people's heads, and presumably blurs the faces of the band, as how would it know the difference

Eta: and in their demo video there's a person walking by who's face doesn't get blurred lmao. Bang up job, Claude

> Wouldn't that be covered by fair use?

This has never once prevented a DMCA notice from being issued, and I'm sure you can guess how easy it is to get a person at YouTube to review your appeal

To be fair i think in KDE terms, the desktop refers to the whole experience: the panels, the notifications, the menus, the decorations, the file manager, etc. Also to be fair i think widgets are still mostly focused on the actual desktop part of the "desktop environment"

Sorry to be annoying, i do think the idea in general is bad, i just think i have a better idea of what the devs are thinking if i consider the idea where the entire desktop environment as a whole reacts to how you use it instead of making every single nanoscale decision user-configurable (KDE) or deciding you know better than the user, your way or the highway (Gnome). I don't think they mean the actual like desktop view specifically, or building a dashboard

I'm not nitpicking, it's just a bad metaphor, entirely, on its face. No nits about it

I know I'm an outlier but i truly just can't imagine using an LLM for absolutely anything outside programming itself. I'm something of an expert in programming so i can spot the hallucinations and nonsense. I'm not an expert in lots of other things where i wouldn't be able to spot the problems. That and the writing is so grating and awful, the docs are so verbose yet vague. Reading the responses i explicitly asked it to generate is bad enough, i could never ask someone else to do it with something they could just generate themselves.

They are nowhere close to cars

This conversation is about who would take an award winning photo. It's not about how much you personally like photography.

I really don't think so. A pro that knows all the ins and outs of working their camera for the perfect shot in the given conditions will do better than a one-off hope that the camera auto settings nail it. A professional literally spends their life framing shots, a tourist spams the shutter hoping one turns out and crops/filters/AI enhances their way from the best of the bunch to whatever will get likes from their family. No contest for a single exposure: the pro knows what they're doing, the tourist doesn't.

Have you tried buying a computer lately

Normal people didn't ride horses everywhere. They weren't used like cars. I'm so sick of this analogy. People walked places. If it was too far to walk you used a horse drawn bus/tram. If you had to much to carry you used a horse drawn truck. Every single person wasn't riding an individual horse ten minutes each way to buy groceries every day like that do now with cars. Cars unquestionably kill drastically more people than horses ever did or even could. Tens of thousands a year in this country alone! The leading cause of death for children and young adults!

Nobody ever gives a real reason why extinction is a plausible threat from current model development, and Chinese researchers don't seem to agree that it's plausible either.

We locked down AFTER people started dying, not before!

These people always insist on literally ignoring the body count. Drives me insane. It was so far removed from a normal flu and everyone in the medical field will tell you that emphatically yet here people are acting like it was nothing.

Millions and millions of people died, you know.

This hasn't worked out that well for me. I have to try to do it myself, do something wrong, and ask for an explanation of what i broke. Just typing doesn't leave me with any retention.

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is unhealthy, okay.

I wish they told us which model wrote the article so i can be sure to avoid it in the future. This is brutal to try and read

Meh, i use LLMs every day as a 9-5 dev and i absolutely despise how they write, and i don't particularly like how they write code. Sometimes I'd rather just have something done, and asking an LLM is basically always faster than using Google now.

I don't think LLMs have high information density at all, a huge percentage of what they say reads like filler. They're essentially incapable of being concise.

Which I think is partially evidenced by the "tens of thousands of lines" -- I'm working on a media streaming web app for fun on my own time and the whole project is yet to crack 10,000 lines (excluding libraries) including both the backend and the UI. When Claude shows me huge diff at work my first thought is "no way, there's got to be a cleaner simpler way to do this" and there always is

What is it about a hammer that you find distasteful

With a sufficient endowment to the Trump family, one can get anything they want from this supreme court

Embrace: buy the biggest forge

Extend: add actions, drive adoption, move your own devs to it

Extinguish: enshittify until all that's left is ads for copilot

They knew GitHub was the, well, hub, for most open source development. Then they captured it, now they use it to push their high margin products
