Am I the only one who thinks taking a huge model trained on the entire internet and fine tuning it is a complete waste? How is your small bit of data going to affect it in the least?


Considering AI is trained on the average human experience, I have a hard time believing it would be able to make any significant difference in this area. The best experience I’ve had debugging at this level was using Microsoft’s time travel debugger which allows stepping forward and back.


You should try AI sometime. It's quite good, and can do things (like "analyze these 10000 functions and summarize what you found out about how this binary works, including adding comments everywhere) that individual humans do not scale to.


George Hotz's Qira is a timeless debugger; worth checking out too!


It can analyze a crash dump in 2 seconds, that could take hours for an experienced developer, or impossible for the "average human".

That's not how averages work :)


Yes, but we all understood the essence of what he meant and he's right. Why be a stickler about it.

Is it brigading if people just have the opinion that AI can do well at software?


Only half of them.


Median


Human intelligence roughly follows a normal distribution where the median is the same as the mean. In that sense OP was correct that half of the population are below average.


I am personally proud of my use of AI because for anything non-trivial it is generally a conversation where each recommendation needs to be altered by an imaginative suggestion. So ultimately it’s the entire conversation that needs to be considered, not just the “final” prompt.


My understanding is that roguelike means that when you die you start over from the beginning.


Having a child is hard, so having a child by yourself must be harder. All I know is that our hearts don't fill up and can always fit more love.


We were very lucky to see Notre Dame before it burned. So glad it’s been restored.


My only problem with YouTube toasts is when the toast to confirm you've enabled closed captions covers up the closed captions you were trying to see.


Reminds me of how changing volume / brightness on macOS hides the damn subtitles.

I added confetti to our salespeople's admin dashboard for when they make a sale. Surprisingly enjoyable and motivating.
