  • Hehehe, ok.

    Those require lines there, they’re importing code written elsewhere. We call that code a library. Take the first one:

    var zero = require("number-zero");

    defines a variable called zero, imports a library called number-zero (not a real library btw, just a joke), and assigns its value (assumed to be the constant 0) to the variable. Later in line 19, zero is read.

    The joke is that you wouldn’t even write line 2 and use a simple 0 instead of zero in line 19. The code is full of unnecessary imports of basic language components.










  • I think you are critically (I’m not saying intentionally) missing the middle ground in your assessment. Large generative models are great for repetitive, homogenous tasks like surveillance, speech recognition, assembly line quality control, etc.

    If I try to look at it from your point of view, regarding creative tasks like developing new software, you have one side claiming that you can make hammers out of chocolate and throw away all your proper ones, and another that’s portrayed as being unreasonable for opposing that.
