This is a Toot about code generation, and if any LLM-use annoys the crap out of you, don't read further. So I'm a daily user of code generation tools and one thing that is painfully obvious is that no matter how much prompting, guardrails, rules, contracts, dynamically loaded constraints for […]

Almost every day I see someone on Mastodon expressing the belief that LLMs work by "regurgitating their training data"*. Besides this being provably false by just looking at the size of a model file vs what it then would contain, it's also a dated view. It could sort of be seen to have been […]
