They did some interesting wordsmithing here to cover their ass without saying it directly.


What they said sounded pretty direct to me.


See, this is what happens when you turn off thinking completely.


How is it more helpful for debugging compared to just looking at the git patch? As far as I can tell, this is meant to be more of a cool presentation type thing, rather than something to assist with development


Yeah, sounds like something I'd use along with Gource for presentations - gource is great for "show off our progress in the last year" in a Very Visual way (without actually being all that useful, but sometimes you need some non-technical visualizations.)


Pretty graphics and visualizations help people understand things because humans aren't LLMs. The web didn't have to evolve past having one font, black, on a white screen, but it did, because people aren't robots.


Because looking at a lot of code at once can be overwhelming, also gokng commit for commit can make it hard to track the flow of everything.


Not a realistic solution at all


I think you're misunderstanding. If you have an extremely large number like 2^256 you will almost certainly never find two people with the same birthday (this is why a SHA256 collision has never been found). That's what the top-level comment was comparing this to.


This was covered in my computer architecture class, which was mandatory for my CS degree.


Conspiracy theory: that explanation is a lie, and the real reason for the delay is that it helps hide the fact that there isn't a unique image mapped to each pixel. If you click two pixels very close together, it shows the same image, but slightly shifted to exactly match your pointer. If the images were displayed immediately, it would be much more obvious what's going on.


Completely and utterly off topic: why on earth does HN use a dim gray font for the post description? It's so hard to read. I understand why downvoted comments are grayed out but why the post description???


Correct. And we know the AI will read the docs whereas people usually ignore 99% of docs so it just feels like a bad use of time sometimes, unfortunately.


-ish; while you can be fairly certain it reads the docs, whether they’ve been used/synthesized is just about unknowable. The output usually looks great, but it’s up to us to ensure its accuracy; we can make it better in aggregate by tweaking dials and switches. To mitigate this we’re asking AIs to create plans and todo lists first, which adds some rigor but again we can’t know if the lists were comprehensive or even correct. It does seem to make the output better. And if the human doesnt read the docs, they can be beaten!
