It may be an opinion, but pointing it out won’t make me like java any more.

If I find myself repeating more than twice, I just ask “Can this be a function”. If yes, I move it there. If not, I just leave it as it is.

Life’s too short to spend all day rewriting your code.

Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.

If you want a pretty cool example, Le morte d’Arthur was written in prison.

They’re definitely among the worst of the worst. It’s always surprised me how comparatively sterile their wiki page is. Feels like they’ve got someone cleaning it up.

Commenting.

I suck at it documentation. I always forget to do it, and then I forget what the code actually does, later. Then I spend a few hours analysing my own dogshit code before scrapping the whole thing.

Three cents for every 1k prompt tokens. You pay another six cents per 1k generated tokens in addition to that.

At 8k context size, this adds up quickly. Depending on what you send, you can easily be out ~thirty cents per generation.

Claude 2 isn’t free though, is it?

Either way, it does depends on what you want to use it for. Claude 2 is very biased towards positivity and it can be like pulling teeth if you’re asking it to generate anything it even remotely disapproves of. In that sense, Claude 1 is the superior option.

w++ is a programming language now 🤡

Presumably you watermark all the training data.

At least, that’s my first instinct.
