Buried pretty deep in the article > “The raw output of ChatGPT’s proof was actually quite poor. So it required an expert to kind of sift through and actually understand what it was trying to say,” Lichtman says. But now he and Tao have s

What do you call the law that you violate when you vibe code an entire website for "List of 'laws' of software engineering" instead of just creating a Wikipedia page for it

My company has four (4) vibe-coded dashboards to monitor AI tool usage. We have made no revenue, let alone profit from any AI feature. However, some curiously under qualified people have been hired into new “AI” themed roles with seven or

I switched from Windows to Linux because I got a Steam Deck, which caused me to realize that the only games in my library that don't also run flawlessly on Linux are the ones that have invasive anticheat that I'm really not comfor

you mean the $5 billion they've generated off of the $73 billion they've raised?

yes, because who ever heard of an AI leaking passwords or API keys into source code

Claude Code asked me for blanket permission to ‘rm:*’ and “security find-generic-password” within the same hour or so last week. When I’m ready to quit my job I’ll just let it go hog wild and see if it can get to my next stock vest without

This isn’t how deep learning works. You can’t just “adjust weights” for some random user/product. I feel like even otherwise intelligent people these days think these chatbots are Westworld-like programmable AIs and not pieces of shit

I think I read it's more "hillbilly" English that sounds like Shakespeare? Like coal mining towns where words like "deer" and "bear" are two syllables. Probably a combination of that and eastern seaboard.

I love this podcast, I've listened to it all the way through probably ten times. That acoustic guitar riff followed by "Hello, and welcome to the History of Rome" is how I'll know I'm dead and I've arrived at t

We just haven’t figured out how to use it. You wouldn’t try to create an entire project out of IDE templates, but how many “low code” attempts were there to do just that at some point? I think there are phases in a project’s lifecycle where

I was in the “AI is grossly overhyped” camp because I work on large distributed deep learning training jobs and AI is indeed worthless for those, and will likely always be worthless since the APIs change constantly and the iteration loop is

The only problem here is that "going from an F to a C in mental health" is vastly different than "going from a C to an A." It's very well known and well documented that antidepressants have very little effect on mil

The ideal is that Microsoft's customers are not idiots who will lose their keys. But that's just not reality, and those customers matter more than using what is arguably the objectively correct design in a certain light

If you don’t like the behavior of a company voluntarily doing something, your problem is with that company. If you don’t like a company complying with the law, your problem is with the law. It is unreasonable to expect anyone or any company

“Principal” at Microsoft (or Oracle) is “Senior” or “Staff” everywhere else just fyi

So it’s some brittle crap built on verl, which is already pretty much train by config (and makes breaking changes with _every single commit_), with no documentation, no examples, and no clear purpose? Heck yeah Microsoft

The biggest problem with “agents” as originally described is that they don’t exist, will most likely not exist in our lifetimes if ever, and meanwhile the bullshit peddlers keep quietly changing their separate definition of “agent” to the p

"AI" is a $100B business, which idiot tech leaders who convinced themselves they were visionaries when interest rates were historically low have convinced themselves will save them from their stagnating growth. It's really co

I tend to agree with you, but I hoped the field would start collectively figuring out how to be big boys with CICD and dependency management back in 2017–I thought Google’s awkward source release of BERT was going to be the low point, and w

I’m saying actual algorithmic (as in not data) model innovation has never been a significant part of the revenue generation in the field. You get your random forest, or ResNet, or BERT, or MaskRCNN, or GPT-2-with-One-Weird-Trick, and then y
