Software by definition has always been and will remain broken in one or another way. AI makes no difference or whatsoever. Arguably, it will help raising the quality of software.

Evidence so far does not suggest people driving off a cliff so while a valid concern it's not a likely one. We also acknowledged that the benefit of using a vehicle is such that it outnumbers the risks it may introduce. We never said t

When the combustion engine was invented, and we got the means by which we could accelerate our trip by 10x, and at the same time scale it to multiple people, we didn't tell the humans to keep pushing the vehicles by their hands, didn&#

Exactly. That would mean going back to square one, and I also personally don't review the code anymore but I am more focused on asking the model to demonstrate the value it created through benchmarks, workload-generators, and e2e tests

Assuming you're investing aggressively and not touching that money for the next 20 years, with the nominal return of 6% per year, adjusted for the inflation rate of 3% per year, 1M will increase to 1.8M. Not sure how you came up with 8

Your initial response made it sound as if Xiaomi did nothing wrt chip design and all the hail goes to "ARM engineers" which is simply not true. Had that been true we would have dozens of chip designers which we don't.

How about Apple M series ARM chip designs? From what I have seen only resemblance with ARM is the ISA.

I misunderstood you then, sorry. Yes, that makes complete sense but ultimately I think this will likely not be enough. Implementation will be hardened but new models with better capabilities will be released, and will discover vulnerabiliti

It occurred to me as well that this is ragebait trolling too since being disconnected this much from reality would have been concerning. The author's app can be rewritten with the use of AI in one day (pessimistically speaking).

Parent comment was likely about how are you supposed to put LLM into your chip. Commodity ICs are already optimized down to their minimums wrt compute/memory/storage. Ultimately, I think it will prove that RE examples like this ar

My question was genuine because I don't understand people who are even as of today such a big skeptics while the evidence surrounding us suggests that LLMs are far away from what you are trying to imply. I am not saying nobody should b

I think what the parent comment sentiment was that having this knowledge generally does not pay off but there are certainly positions which do ask for it specifically. And they are very few IME.

I am not an idiot, I am not keeping my phone on direct sunlight neither do I run on "very high brightness". The phone runs hot on normal circumstances, and in summer when the temperatures are getting higher it becomes unbearable.

I had a similar issue with OnePlus 7 but not at this scale. It lasted me for 3, 3.5 years. I think this is becoming a problem more increasingly because of a beefier and beefier hardware that is put into these phones, and the heat dissipati
