@retoor that's what they said abouit low- and no-code.
you know what's more likely to "be a thing"?
heaps of code, spread through all our infrastructure, that nobody understands because everybody just copy-pasted the answer their hallucination machine (controlled by a private company with the sole goal of acquiring more money and power) gave them without even bothering to read it. -
@retoor well, of course it's gonna happen, somewhere, in idiot-bizarro-land, specifically in the county of incompetence. dumbfucksville, 123 middle-management-drive.

This reminded me of this strangeloop talk about spoken language code editing:
https://youtu.be/NcUJnmBqHTY/...
As programmers, we learn new languages monthly. Conceding fine control to the convenience of English is just as antithetical to programming in spoken language as it is in writing. -
LLMs as they are start to forget things way too soon for anything of any level of complexity to be built using vibe coding.
This coding "strategy" will never amount to anything until context windows are drastically scaled up, (read: nearly infinite). The technical reason that context windows are so small is real, but the Silicon Valley priesthood has what amounts to religious reasons to keep context windows small enough that their creations don't start "thinking" things they're not allowed to.
Only when they lose their iron grip on the creation of LLMs will we see models that are really useful for anything other than playing around. -
@retoor > 'markeer mijn woorden'.
Oh, cool, something in Dutch for which I actually don't need a translation.
It's nice when languages overlap.

When you wanted to know deep learning immediately
ok actually I just had an epiphany
vibe coding (which is telling an AI to do something instead of touching the code yourself) would be helpful on phones
so kind of like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis
instead of trying to find symbols on a phone
but if you have a laptop actually touching the code would still be superior
with a phone you could say what you want and just double check if it's right on the screen
soooo bathroom coding or when you're on the run middle of the street coding. hell... relaxing bath coding (I listen to podcasts in there by ziplocking my phone)
do you think people were far less workaholic before modern era. probably very relaxed time
