Gabriele SveltoI've seen people claiming - with a straight face - that mechanical refactoring is a good use-case for LLM-based tools. Well, sed was developed in 1974 and - according to Wikipedia - first shipped in UNIX version 7 in 1979. On modern machines it can process files at speeds of several GB/s and will not randomly introduce errors while processing them. It doesn't cost billions, a subscription or internet access. It's there on your machine, fully documented. What are we even talking about?
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@gabrielesvelto Just the other day I saw a goddamn professor claiming that we need to teach chatbots to reason in order for them to do math. As if we haven't had calculators that actually work every time for like 450 years. It's insane.
