It’s not exactly hard. It’s really simple. It’s just shit to use.

Going with c# again. I know the language super well but don’t often have a chance to get really deep into it with the stuff at work. These often present very non typical problems that require lesser used features.

This is a really interesting and actually useful application of AI. I’m all for it.

QBasic was my first language when I started learning around the turn of the century. I remember it being super accessible even with the limited learning resources of the time.

Don’t you have to state how much money you made illegally on your taxes?

That is completely incomprehensible lol

This argument just doesn’t hold up. Software written by some of the best developers in the world still has these same bugs.

Why even use a language where you have to put so much effort into something that comes for free in many modern languages.

This is where LLMs shine.

August 31, 1955 The term “artificial intelligence” is coined in a proposal for a “2 month, 10 man study of artificial intelligence” submitted by John McCarthy (Dartmouth College), Marvin Minsky (Harvard University), Nathaniel Rochester (IBM), and Claude Shannon (Bell Telephone Laboratories)

This is just literally not true.

Point 3 is what LLMs are.

You are thinking of general artificial intelligence from sci-fi

An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans,

This is what artificial intelligence actually means. Solving problems that traditionally require intelligence

Path finding algorithms in games are AI. And have always been referred to as such. We studied them my AI module at uni.

Machine learning is just a specific field in AI. It’s all AI. Anything that attempts to mimic intelligence is.

All the things you mentioned are neural networks which are some of the oldest AIs.

Not sure if Vietnam is quite the amazing example they think it is.

I’ve got a good 5 TB of games. It’s not that crazy an amount of data.

That’s why we don’t like c

Seems sensible. Check the output of AI tools before posting. Be pretty stupid not to proof read it at a minimum.

I mostly get naked in private

You can also optimize this a bit.

You can use Activator.CreateInstance instead of reflecting and invoking the constructor.

You can also call MethodInfo.Invoke, you don’t need to create a delegate.

Also worth noting that Source Generators have replaced the need for reflection in many cases.

I’ve found they’re great as a learning tool where decent docs are available. Or as an interactive docs you can ask follow up questions to.

We mostly use c# and it’s amazing at digging into the MS docs to pull out useful things from the bcl or common patterns.

Our new juniors got up to speed so fast by asking it to explain stuff in the existing codebases. Which in turn takes pressure off more senior staff.

I got productive in vuejs in a large codebase in a couple days that way.

Using to generate actual code is insanely shit haha It is very similar to just copy pasting code and hacking it in without understanding it.

It’s not a thing in other countries

At the end of the day if they can afford it and don’t want to change you’ve got to ask yourself if it really matters?

I know it’s silly to pay over the odds for something but it’s up to them really.

I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.

There’s a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.

It’s casual sexism. I’m not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.

Assuming it’s a man because it’s programming is fundamentally sexist.

What downsides would they be?
