It is a chat bot. It is a good compared to the chart bots we had in the past, but still a chat bot.

The reason it can be used for programming is because programming language is still a language.

They only seen to forget that programming languages were already invented to be a bridge between human and a machine language, but being able to do software engineering is much more than just knowing programming languages.

This makes me wonder, anyone knows how good are those tools at creating assembly code? I don't program in assembly, but I know that the "language" is very simple, but you actually need to be constantly aware of the state of the system.

Just had the opportunity to test GPT 5 as a coding assistant in Copilot for VS Code, which in my opinion is the only legitimately useful purpose for LLMs.

The best use of LLM sadly is to use it on social media to spread disinformation. At that point making shit up isn't a big but a feature.

For coding I am still not sold on it. It seems to excel on tasks that were done millions of times like programming assignments at school, example/tutorial code, interview questions.

For me while it helps in stone cases, I still have to go over the code and understand it and very often it introduces subtle bugs or I can write a more concise chose that fits my need. In those cases all the advantages it did are nullified, I suspect it might actually be slowing me down.

It feels to me that LLM is a godsend to all the coders that previously copied code from stack overflow. It greatly streamlined the process and also included all code published on GitHub.

Unlike China Brazil doesn't have as much leverage, but taco showed us that over and over again that even if you surrender he will still hurt you.

Japan is example. During his first term they accepted unfair deal hoping that won't have to worry about it and he still hurt them.

Domestically people and institutions see the same, for example UCLA bent the knee, and right now there's article he still cut research grants to them.

Sad thing is that still almost no one seen to learn from mistakes from others, they think that perhaps they are special and things will be different.

Drones aren't that annoying when they are pretty high.

That would require empathy. And his empathy is measured in "donated" passenger jets.

They think they can hire less SWE because of it. Though from my experience all benefits it gives are neutralized by mistakes or does. I have to pay more attention to what it produces to find bugs (and they are subtle, and even then successfully sneak them).

I also frequently notice that I actually can produce more concise code for my user case.

And it is plagiarizing (Microsoft apparently provides some legal protection against a lawsuit, but I don't know if that is for everyone).

A while ago I found a bit less popular code and it came with library. I didn't like their implementation so I started writing my own and copilot basically was suggesting the code from the library I tried to rewrite.

I'm wondering about why they got fooled. Have they noticed that LLM can do a better job than them and they think that this will also translate to software engineering?

Copilot is shit.

Exactly, my company provides license for copilot and I use it, and while it has some highlights most of the time it actually is more a nuisance than help.

It especially annoys me because it hijacks autocomplete based on types with is own that frequently has subtle bugs, so now if I have it enabled I need to be on guard all the time. With the traditional autocomplete I could just trust it to be correct.

This is inaccurate. The piss goes on Americans and America.

He helped align Iran to Russia during his first term and does the same with India now.

I haven't played it, but people say Being a dik game is quite good.

It's the Register, it is targeted to people familiar with technology.

Can they leave USPS the fuck alone? It is self sufficient doesn't need taxpayers money and does great job in what it does.
