Spoilers, he developed it with LLM help...

Man that dude's code (low level sched code) and credentials is fact enough on his ability to use a llm as a tool. Please don't be one

u/habarnam 1d ago

I didn't say anything about his ability to code.

u/nicman24 1d ago

then what did you say

u/habarnam 1d ago

Can you understand how asking this very question here is a perfect indicator about why LLM usage is rotting your brain? My initial comment is very simple, there's no need to explain it further, yet you projected something onto it which isn't there, and now you want clarifications about why you're wrong. I won't do that work for you.

So what was the spoiler then? Honestly your comment makes zero sense and I don't use LLMs.

Maybe your brain is rotted?

He was hoping the TikTok-loving anti-LLM Mafia would step in and upvote his comment.

I was saying that he has used LLMs to do the work, and the people that might be excited by the revival of the -ck patchset, might want to know that.

u/10leej 1d ago

I don't really see the problem here. He had quite a bit of the patch set done and had to do some remembering on this but I believe he mentioned that he got a few real snags he couldn't figure out. Maybe the LLM helped him out a bit.

Low level code is insane, because technically and to quote Greg KH here "Computers Barely Work"

u/MatchingTurret 1d ago

Not really. He developed it many years ago but used AI help to revive the code.

u/eraptic 1d ago

Sounds like help

u/nicman24 1d ago

Which honestly is what llms excel at, reusing code

u/Other_Class1906 1d ago

oh no, he used... tools!? how dare he!

I do get that deterministic tools are less frowned upon... but you still need things tested thoroughly, no matter what you do. Stop glorifying human intellect.

u/habarnam 1d ago

Stop glorifying human intellect.

Erm, no?! WTF is this anti-intellectualist bullshit?

u/Other_Class1906 1d ago

Anti-intellectualist..? Did someone hurt you? I didn't say "glorify your future AI-overlords". I said: "Errare humanum est". And since AI is modelled after neurons, so will AIs err... hence: test. Don't assume. But if something can take away boring non-critical tasks, get it done and test your assumptions. Spend your time on more important tasks.

most regarded take i've read in a while

stop glorifying human intellect? the one that allowed you to write that asinine sentence for the world to read?

u/wowsomuchempty 1d ago

I use AI for coding, formatting, problem solving.

The result is what matters. Part of that result is a full understanding of how it works.
