  • I agree that this could be helpful for finally getting to that natural language programming paradigm that people have been hoping for. But there’s going to have to be something capable of logically implementing the low level code and that has to be more than just a statistical model of how people write code, as trained on a big collection of random repositories. (I’m open to being proved wrong about that!)

    The 90% accuracy could just arise from the fact that the tests are against trivial or commonly solved tasks, so that the exact solutions to them exist in the training set. Anything novel will exist outside the training set and outside of the model.

















  • To add to that, just because they have legal council involved doesn’t mean that they’re not in the wrong and know it. You may just need to say the magic words to make them back down and a labor lawyer who understands your case will know what those words are.

    You obviously may keep working there if it gets resolved to your satisfaction, so the support of a lawyer will help you play it cool while you negotiate. It’s easier to just be pissed if you know you’re being wronged but don’t have the language to clearly articulate how.
