the ai companies have a problem at the moment: the compute required for inference (especially) costs a metric shit-ton of money - so they're crowd-sourcing the funds (unsuccessfully so far, tbh - for example, a $20/m…

The title seems to suggest the author is talking about AGI - if the author is just co-opting the latest Trumpism, forget the rest of this... I don't think we're anywhere near AGI yet. We have some clever models, sure,…
I guess that would depend on the level of the AI - for instance, no matter how much good press any existing model gets, if nuclear war broke out, and all the humans died, eventually infrastructure would fail (2-6 weeks,…
also, what really changes the game is requiring that one write the tests _first_. Generally, I haven't had to do this with an ai - but it's an interesting idea (get it to write the test(s) first, and vet them - like I…
I came here to say something very similar - glad to know that there are other level-headed engineers out there. As you've pointed out, the problem is literally a skill issue - the OP never really "got into" testing,…
That's fine if you're looking at running hashcat or some other computation like that, but tells you nothing about gaming performance.
Is this ai-generated? because statements like this one contradict themselves: "This group ended up taking 29% fewer sick days compared to the control group (IRR 0.71). Yet the study explicitly notes that there was no…
Why would I want a slower moving release cycle for an app I use for banking and other personal stuff, whilst the latest models are finding CVEs left right and center? Get outta here with your slow-moving fork.
some good lessons in there on the PR topic tho: my latest challenge is putting out my rage fires after people lazily post a claude (or other aigen) review without any understanding themselves, forcing me to defend the…
because they're trained off of human data, and we lie, cheat, and co-ordinate to do so
ha, ironically, the average person will say the blog post is ai-generated because of the liberal usages of actual emdashes. I was literally shooed as a bot for using regular dashes recently :/
yep, this is why people just chuck Claude reviews on my PRs, and why I bothered to set up sandboxing for Claude, so I can make the agent run a review before I take it to PR, so that at the very least, I can add…
is it really prompt injection to just muddle currencies on the page? I'd argue not - though it _is_ a clearly disingenuous quote.
It's windows with some preinstalled stuff. Big deal.
AI is a tool. Your brain is only ruined if you allow your intelligence to be permanently outsourced to it.
I have an older Nothing phone. It's great.
Review is the bottleneck in those scenarios - and it's a _good thing_. AI-gen code is often subtly (or obviously) incorrect. Human eyeballs are the cure. There is no way to go faster without compromising the value of…
you could try linking to it if you actually want anyone to check it out :D
"Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows than on Linux" - how, when the virtual machine running under WSL is literally running a Linux kernel. If anything, it's just another Ubuntu installation. Alternatively, perhaps we…
hi, just wanted to let you know that I experienced continuous reload on the page, and captured this in the console: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unable to preload CSS for…
Some people don't. A lot of people just see a trillionaire whacko who can do whatever he wants because that's how society works - money talks.
My tests? Sure. Co-workers? Unlikely. Historical co-workers who are no longer with us except in the code they left? Not a chance. But when I have to work in an area, the first thing I look for is coverage, and if it's…
another blog to avoid then; the intentionality of actually writing from scratch is kinda part of the point. the other point is that "more data" doesn't necessarily mean "more better" - I'd rather have 1…
And the answer to the actual question posed by the article is simple: money. Big companies made huge bank by offloading risk onto people. Let's not pretend it was anything else.
