The idea that deporting every undocumented person will reduce the bloat and profit extraction in our health care system is making me giggle.

And do you really think checking every person is a strategy that scales? Why not just indiscriminately jail the people who hire them and thereby create a strong incentive to come?

Maybe those workers actually belong here more than you'd like to admit, but the powers that be enjoy keeping their status uncertain to use as a piñata they can beat whenever they need political candy.

We definitely should do this, yes.

Tungsten is the least of their problem. When a population cannot afford health care system, and have to walk with their passport so they are not sent to jail, you have a broken country. Not to mention the financial problems.

Tungsten won't matter when there is no country.

No, it's broken because we've allowed millions of foreigners to come in and raise said healthcare and housing costs. Checking that people here actually belong here else they're deported is part of the "cost of living" solution, in addition to crime.

You think they lied about reproducing the issue? It’s useful to know if a bug can be reproduced.

Yes, of course I think they lied, because a trustworthy person would never consider 0-effort regurgitated LLM boilerplate as a useful contribution to an issue thread. It's that simple.

> That repo alone has 1.1k open pull requests, madness.

The UI can't even be bothered to show the number of open issues, 5K+ :)

Then they "fix it" by making issues auto-close after 1 week of inactivity, meanwhile PRs submitted 10 years ago remains open.

It's definitely a mess, but based on the massive decline in signal vs noise of public comments and issues on open source recently, that's not a bad heuristic for filtering quality.

No where in the comment do they assert they are work for Microsoft.

This is a peer-review.

Let's just say they are pretending to be helpful, how about that?

> "Peer review"

no unless your "peers" are bots who regurgitate LLM slop.

Where's the code and what did you build? Everything else is just platitudes

When I see comments like this I wonder if the commenter has used LLMs for software development recently. (Genuine question).
PKop · 2 days ago
What's that got to do with burning thousands of dollars producing nothing of value, and a lot of useless code created by agents you turn loose while advocating not reviewing it? "Used LLMs" is a non-sequitur here. What did your agent build with you spending thousands of dollars and not reviewing the code? If you have something high quality to show that followed this process link it here, else what are you even talking about?

Tests are only rigorous if the correct intent is encoded in them. Perfectly working software can be wrong if the intent was inferred incorrectly. I leverage BDD heavily, and there a lot of little details it's possible to misinterpret going from spec -> code. If the spec was sufficient to fully specify the program, it would be the program, so there's lots of room for error in the transformation.

Very salient concept in regards to LLM's and the idea that one can encode a program one wishes to see output in natural English language input. There's lots of room for error in all of these LLM transformations for same reason.

>If you haven't spent at least $1,000 on tokens today per human engineer, your software factory has room for improvement

…What am I even reading? Am I crazy to think this is a crazy thing to say, or it’s actually crazy?

PKop · 3 days ago
It's not so much crazy as very lame and stupid and dumb. The moment has allowed people doing dumb things to somehow grab the attention of many in the industry for a few moments. There's nothing "there".
