Yeah in that case just closing it and moving on would be better IMO. A sufficiently large fraction of the time the issues with vibeslopped code and/or analysis are bad enough once you start digging into it that it's not worth spen

Exactly, it would be so much better if they shared the prompts instead of the output, at least then we'd be able to make some sense of what they were thinking about.

High performance "modern" steam engines are fascinating, they're not necessarily simpler than their internal combustion successors, just different. Monotube boilers create superheated steam that pushes 1200°F, which is right

Wow thanks for the link. My first reaction was "that's the jankiest thing I've ever heard of" but on reflection the author is correct about it being a fairly optimally fit predator. When the benchmark is .xlsx files on a

From my limited second-hand understanding of orcl, a team that operates in a smooth and well greased manner is quite the anomaly. I could see why the company would have an immune response to it.

Yeah, negative tests are more important than the "test your tests" thing. Negative tests are themselves regression tests. Testing that a test works is something you do at dev time, it doesn't really live in CI. Negative tests

All of those beliefs seem approximately equally regressive? What percentage of people think there's something non-physical that actually exists? I'd put them in the same padded cell as the rest of those clowns.

Yeah types and APIs that are difficult to misuse are way better than any regression test, canary, or what have you. Systems that are correct by construction always beat "you're holding it wrong".

A more cautious civilization might take measures to prevent emissions. There's potentially great value in remaining unnoticed.

I'm not quite following your objection.. I'd expect a test that checks the multiplier is correct would detect orders of magnitude discrepancy. So if you're billing $x/byte you'd write a test for the billing thing th

It's not difficult to write regression tests that catch unit mistakes.

We have a pretty strong existence proof... the thing happened in production. Unless they have some means to override a failing test and scp broken shit to prod, there wasn't a test.

That's good for the credit card company, they can project stable revenue 100k years into the future.

Either way it shows their QA and testing procedures are incompetent. It's just not acceptable for a utility like AWS to move fast and break shit. Should make you question whether it's safe or advisable to use any of their services

The whole thing seems like a downward spiral of brain rot. I don't understand what the reward is for participating, it seems like a total waste of human effort.

I have had very bad experiences with graph dbs at scale. To the point where I will never again work on a project based on a graph db. YMMV, but I'm done with them forever. [edit] To elaborate: tuning read and write performance is diffi

Writing is thinking. If you don't spend time writing, then you didn't spend time thinking. LLMs don't think. Consequently, if you outsourced your writing to an LLM the resulting artifact was born of a thoughtless process. Ins

That brings me back to this wireframe tank combat game we used to play on the LAN in middle school. I think it was called Spectre.
