this is nothing new. if you copy and pasted code from stackoverflow 5 years ago with no understanding how it works, it would have lead to the same issues. fully understanding what the AI did, and ask questions if you don't understand.
I dont think it is the same, or at least that is not my experience of using SO. Typically using involved usually requires me synthesising answers, getting a better understand of my issue in order to search/evaluate the answers I need. With an LLM I can be much more vague, and the amount of mental effort I have to spend to get to some "working" code is much less and does not require me understand as many things. Even if I did not understand fully what a piece of code from SO did, it was usually at worst a piece of code that I still needed to integrade inside a function etc. I doubt you could get into having any interesting enough working up simply by copy pasting code from SO. Now I can copy paste entire functions and code files from an LLM.
I have nearly the exact issues with temps around 80-90 on my 2010 MBP while I produce in Ableton. I've done hours of research, and it sounded like a new Logic board was the only answer ($700). I even had both fans replaced about 2 years ago. Speed holes here I come!
Sounds awesome! I'm not only interested in the day trading application, but your software stack sounds awesome as well. I couldn't find how to PM you on here, but you should email me at <my Hacker news username> at gmail. best of luck!
