I love the building on this idea here, it’s like using LLMs for code flippantly is this generation’s version of single-use plastics. Convenient, cheap for now, but with many negative externalities
Ross Wintle
Having fun reading and writing today. LLMs are not just machines. They are machine-building machines! This comes with way more responsibility. And understanding it may change how you use them.

Syntactic sugar plays a crucial role in engineering programming languages. It offers convenient syntax and higher-level of abstractions, as witnessed by its pervasive use in both general-purpose and domain-specific contexts. Unfortunately, the ...

Architectural mismatch: why reuse is so hard
Why isn't there more progress toward building systems from existing parts? One answer is that the assumptions of the parts about their intended environment are implicit and either don't match the actual environment or conflict with those of other parts. The authors explore these problems in the context of their own experience with a compositional approach.<>

I'm not a professional LLMer by any means, but I figured I'd lay out my little journey and the findings along the way. When I first saw you could run…
Magicoder: Empowering Code Generation with OSS-Instruct
We introduce Magicoder, a series of fully open-source (code, weights, and data) Large Language Models (LLMs) for code that significantly closes the gap with top code models while having no more...

The mythical matched modules | Proceedings of the 24th ACM SIGPLAN conference companion on Object oriented programming systems languages and applications
Certified compilers are complex software systems. Like other large systems, they demand modular, extensible designs. While there has been progress in extensible metatheory mechanization, scaling extensibility and reuse to meet the demands of full ...
Plastic Recycling Is a Problem Consumers Can't Solve
Even if you put everything into the right blue bins, a lot of plastics will end up in landfills and the ocean. Consumers can't solve this problem.
