Presumably if AI reaches it's potential there might not be a need for immigrants labor.
In my view meetings are the most powerful channel for social signaling which unfortunately is at least half the revealed job in white collar jobs. That was (and still is) the hardest thing for me to accept as the child…
Personally if I had to look back at the rate of bugs of a similar severity my own company produced I think it was higher pre-llm coding and testing.
Yeah no one can predict the future but betting on progress tends to be a better heuristic with technology, especially in AI given the rate of current progress. And as far as I know the availability of (human generated)…
Why not?
How is this qualitatively worse than the other single sources of failure we already live with (ie cloudflare)?
Wait until you see the crappy codebases people were generating before AI.
If AI progress stops right now or stalls out soon sure, but if we really do have something significantly better coming, up to and including AGI, I think none of this will be an issue.
Really? I've found LLMs to be really thorough UI testers.
And when something the LLM wrote goes off the rails sometimes you have to look at code to debug too. But you don't need to make reviewing the code standard practice anymore than reviewing assembly code before shipping.
What makes you think people aren't "reviewing" what they ship to customers just because they don't read the code? If the testing goes well that may be all the "review" required.
99% of software out there is a huge ball of mud even if the senior/architect/<insert egotistical title here> started out by building it with the sexiest abstractions. Things just tend to rot and complexify. Software…
It seems unrealistic protect our jobs if LLMs really can do them (still a big if). Maybe if we as an industry had formed unions but it seems a bit late for that.
Okay my tinker-lust has been aroused! Can someone tell me what I can make with this thing so I have an excuse to build it?
If Linus Torvalds is being outperformed what hope is there for the rest of us?
I had no idea KVMs existed until an agent filled me in last night (I had the idea of building one with an fpga so an agent could drive os installation). Lo and behold the next day KVMs are on the front page of Hacker…
Yeah that pretty close to some problems I'm working on with mine. It has an "IQCON ALC loop failure" and claude was able to diagnose that the 2013 rail is around 11.44v (outside of the 10v range iirc) and the 2015 one…
Some parts. It's still a WIP!
Oops yeah you're right, it's a VNG. A VNA would be great to have though! I wonder if these agents are going to just increase the utility of ever piece of equipment people can hook them to.
Very cool! Yeah I lucked out finding mine. It was in the intake section at my 2nd hand electronics store. It had a broken power button so they were selling it "as-is". A button repair and battery swap later I have a…
My model is an SMIQ03E actually! I've grown quite addicted to going to my local 2nd hand electronics store in recent months scrounging for anything with an rs232 port!
I just had claude walk me through refurbishing a Rohde & Schwarz signal generator from the 90s. It feels pretty cool getting a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment for 60 bucks even if you have no idea what you'll…
That's as good a guess about the future as any I suppose! Personally I'd give that about a 30% chance of happening in a large way. For small systems though I don't think I could ever personally go back to the old way.…
Maybe I'm a bad programmer or have worked at places with terrible dev culture, but honestly I've made changes to code I didn't really understand. The changes I made seemed to accomplish the task I was aiming at, but the…
Programming was the thing that clicked for me most out of anything I've done in my life. That's not to say I was an exceptional programmer, probably a bit above average among professionals but not by much. However for…
