every once in a while someone asks us "why can't you just review the slop code as if it were human written" and let me tell you that we have tried it, and you cannot, actually, do this, for the simple reasons that humans do not write code like that

human-written code follows a progression and exhibits a model of the problem domain. the model may be wrong, the progression may be wrong, but line 1 and line 10 are related to each other.

LLM code has none of that. it looks like code, but does not have the structure of it. there is no progression of thought, there is no model of the problem domain, and lines 1 and lines 10 bear no relationship to each other outside of statistical likelihood.

the question thus asks, "why can't you just eat the dogshit as if it were a burger cooked by a human"

ok I underestimated ABS fumes, my lab reeks now

I just had an opportunity to use the phrase "I admire your ability to reach that level of confidence without the inconvenience of competence" at work

Foaming hand soap is just regular hand soap that has been diagnosed with rabies.

Reform politicians are just the worst. I've just seen an Instagram video about four newly elected Reform councillors. Heres the main point of each one.

1: X'd that Nigerians should be melted down to fill in potholes. (Now suspended)

2: Claims the Holocaust is a hoax.

3: X'd "Shoot p*kis on site"

4: Beat girlfriend black and blue, neglected his child and put out cigarettes on them.

Maybe look up vetting in a dictionary?

I'm talking about little trains and learning the Welsh language on Jenny's Bench today. Please support me if you can, it means a lot.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive.

when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.

#bbclaurak asks Tice about the £5milion given to him by Harborne

Tice "This was a personal gift"

A few days ago #Farage said the money was given to him to hire bodyguards

LK reminds him that before he became an MP, he did declare smaller gifts, like a trip to Belgium

Tice is stuffed here

She goes on

"Are you sure it has all been spent on security? Are there any other incidents that have not been declared?

Tice then adopts a populist, facist defence.
"You keep on trying to smear us but the voters have looked at and they agreed with us against the establishment media saying they want more Reform"

"Parliament has found 17 occasions where Nigel Farage has not followed the rules amounting to £380,000. This is not a smear. The question here is that Nigel Farage seems to have a habit of not following the rules very carefully when it comes to money"

He can not answer this
And does not answer this
