On our team, we have discussed attaching claude transcripts to jira tickets, not github PRs (though the PRs are attached to tickets)

If your product has code on it that can only be understood and worked on by the person that wrote it, then your code is too complex and underdocumented and/or doesn't have enough test coverage. Your time would be better spent, in

I think a _single_ instance of an LLM hallucination should be enough to retract the whole paper and ban further submissions.

I think the real gap in computer languages wrt LLMs is a replacement for python as a "notebook" language that the LLM uses to solve ad hoc problems during a chat. What you want is something that is safe, performant, uses minimal t

How could that possibly have not been the case. A tariff is no different from the cost of any input into the price of a finished good. There is some sense in which price increases are limited by supply and demand, but if the market won&#x

Whatever they get sued for would be pocket change.

They do memorize some books. You can test this trivially by asking ChatGPT to produce the first chapter of something in the public domain -- for example a Tale of Two Cities. It may not be word for word exact, but it'll be very close

I am pretty close to this because my spouse is a school board member and I do a lot of AI work for my job, and the problems of AI in education are completely intractable for public schools. The educators lack the technical background to use

Palantir has been doing awful shit since it started, so you have to presume that anybody that works there is on board with it.

I think that is becoming a less and less ridiculous scenario over time and I hope blue state governors have had long conversations with their national guard leadership about it.

Have you stopped to consider how you got to the point that you are defending this. Like, I get sort of working this over in your mind to yourself, but you have gone out of your way to excuse a cop gunning down a mom that just dropped off h

The dirty secret about American politics is that people care about any of that stuff only to the extent that it supports their actual ideological goals. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, state's rights, all of it. They want it
