The original posts from Dr. Emily were about how LLMs don’t do math. And they don’t, you can fuck around with an open weight model and see this for yourself. The LLM services are almost certainly calling out to cheap internal calculator tools because everyone was laughing at them

Counterpoint: If you use these tools enough *and know enough about the subject matter* you’ll find that they are definitely parroting their training sets and have no actual thought or ideas of what they’re causing to occur

I learned Ruby when I started using Chef back in 2015, before that it was something mystifying FreeBSD used for some scripts. Anyway, AWS decided to release the Python boto lib but not maintain a ruby gem for AWS API access, and my life has been pain ever since 🙃

It was a terrible idea but a bunch of coastal players playing at 7,000-something feet altitude would be very funny, to me

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

I want you to imagine how foul the fucking conversation would be in that room. Vibes so rancid they would be considered a biohazard.

I don't like it, either, but it feels like an animated movement language that Disney is trying to develop to make the characters easier to understand for younger viewers. I don't think they need to do it! But that's the vibe, to me

The second is more famous but I probably use the first more (because it’s more funny / dramatic / applicable)

I don’t think the uptake has been huge or anything, but it’s been fairly vocal

As an interesting parallel to those who repudiated TDD for various reasons, there’s a counter force with genAI coding adoption that wants to minimize or eliminate pipelines and automated testing
