The flipside is that the AI-written code I've seen at work is usually painfully obvious upon human code review. If you need a tool to detect it, either it's good AI-written code, or you have particularly inept code reviewers.

Just about every I/O interface in the Python standard library does it: env vars, reading data in files, reading stdin, even filenames themselves.

I'm not normally one to gripe about name conflicts, but I knew this was going to get confusing. You could install an implementation of the Mamba LLM using the Mamba package manager!

Right, but being fatalistic and giving up is even less likely to be successful than attempting to create counterbalancing force in the system.

The article is long (but interesting!) and a lot of it isn't about the particular scientific discovery in the headline. Here's the part that describes the discovery: > The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but t

Bot accounts prop up their KPIs and they directly provide revenue. They have clear incentives to allow such bots and junk accounts to thrive on their platform.

Aren't those sort of different things? I thought the whole point of provability was that it was distinct from truth.

Fortunately I'm not a software developer! Also yes, you're right about having good estimates for medical tests. Mainly I take issue with your claim that "Running most tests twice won't necessarily give you any useful add

There are well-established frameworks in statistics and decision theory for handling this kind of situation, some of them in continuous successful use for over a century. It's not exactly a solved problem, but we aren't fumbling a

It really sucks that you ended up with c. diff even with the probiotics. But it's a relief that the doctors seem to care. Here in the northeast at best they offhandedly suggest trying a probiotic, but give no advice beyond that. If y

That is true of literally anything ever. It's becoming clear that the risks of probiotic supplementation to counteract the damage caused by antibiotics are substantially lower than the benefit of actually counteracting the damage cause

Yeah but obliterating your gut flora without even making an attempt at remediation is madness to me. It's like saying that people who quit smoking shouldn't bother going to the gym because their lungs are already busted. I haven&#

It's ridiculous what doctors will put people through instead of doing a basic test that's cheap and easy to administer and (in the USA) should be covered by health insurance. I know someone who went through a similar experience wi

It's wild that probiotics aren't considered medically necessary and prescribed alongside antibiotics at this point.

Bless you, all who are in the medical profession. It's hard work, and at least here in the US it's made even harder by understaffing, brutal work hours, and getting pulled around by big business interests. Everyone from janitor to

I've had to send in stool samples several times for various reasons, and every time I imagined some poor lab tech having to handle it. Too bad they never did a "Dirty Jobs" episode about that profession.

I agree with the sibling comment: this is just broadly dysfunctional and the presence of a something formally labeled an "OKR" is not the cause. At worst, the OKR enabled or exacerbated it.

This wouldn't surprise me. Almost the entirety of Facebook/Meta and Google products are loss leaders for ad tech. Why not a shopping site?
