    The expensive autocomplete can’t do this.

    AI markering all wants us to believe that spoon technology is this close to space flight. We just need to engrave the spoons better. And gold plate them thicker.

    Dude who wrote that doesn’t understand how LLMs work, how Rust works, how C works, and clearly jack shit about programming in general.

    Rewriting from one paradigm to another isn’t something you can delegate to a million monkeys shitting into typewriters. The core and time-consuming part of the work itself requires skilled architectural coding.

      LLMs are - by the nature of how they work - only able to achieve 90-95% accuracy. That’s the theoretical best they can do, according to the people behind OpenAI. And worse, it will be presented as 100% accurate, even going so far as to make up sources wholecloth.

      That’s an insane and completely unacceptable error rate for any system even pretending to be mission critical.

      Can you imagine sending people to space with a system that has a 1 in 20 chance of just being completely unfit for service?

      Well, in that case they’re overstating their capabilities. Which is not too surprising.
