Agree completely! The people saying "LLMs don't produce good code" are using prompts like "build a feature that does X, Y and Z"

Good prompting with current-quality LLMs needs to look like "create a function that take in params A and B and produces an output of C"

It's still faster than hand writing the code since the agent will refactor as it goes and break things down into manageable, small functions, but you have to tell it to do that.

If you want to be certain you don't get the tingle, you should seek out a "Buzz Button"

It's like a Sichuan peppercorn, but maybe 5x the strength (at least in my recollection).

The only place I've had one was at a cocktail bar in Toronto, they paired it with a very sweet cocktail and the combination was mind blowing.

Legislate, sue, protest, and otherwise make it more annoying for Republicans to do anything.

I get that they're not the majority, so not much legislation will pass, but they still have tactics to delay any actions.

Why are the Republicans the only ones who can find and exploit loopholes in the constitution?

Company founder/early executive. It's a new thing every day and to top it off every year or so, if things are going well, your whole job gets reinvented!

I think he does a good job at explaining both sides and calling for a root-cause solution, but he's definitely leaving out an important piece: the data collected by all the US social media companies can't just be taken by the US government. They need reasonable causes and go through channels where their access should be checked before they can get their hands on the data. The Chinese government, on the other hand, can just compel TikTok to hand over the data they want.

I don't like the data overreach by all big us tech companies, but at least their data has some safety rails around its usage.

I understand the "but I like TikTok" crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?
