As a former GCP engineer, no, the systems are not generally unstable or insecure. There is definitely manual access of data - it requires what was termed “break glass” similar to the JIT mechanism described by the author. However, it wasn’t

I disagree. I’ve had almost 20 years of professional programming experience. Spent a decade in FAANG, the rest in startups. It is unarguable that I am able to program. Vibe coding has absolutely made programming more accessible to me too. I

Thanks for sharing. I’m curious why the example SPICE application uses Fortran to parse the SPICE data?

I have heard this argument before, but never actually seen concrete evals. The argument goes that because we are intentionally constraining the model - I believe OAI’s method is a soft max (I think, rusty on my ML math) to get tokens sorted

Others have pointed it out, but it’s the juxtaposition of the fact that she’s definitely not an expert in this subject with a lesson in the subject. There’s some subtle bits to the humor depending on how charitable you’re feeling. It might

Those of us subscribing to AI newsletters are constantly slapped in the face with “___ is all you need” style jokes, such that I didn’t even register someone might not make that connection.

I see your point, but I’m not sure that I agree. Consider that when speeding, you might cause an accident. Such an accident would most likely impact a small number of people other than yourself. When a PE firm engages in extractive hospit

It’s a totally reasonable choice in that context. I wonder if any sense this is criticism (or actual criticism) is based on implementers of SaaS who have it so deeply ingrained that “haha what if the users of this software did this really e

The idea of giving every character this sort of agency and seeing what opinion builds up about the world is incredibly fascinating. Depending on how well we assume an LLM would do at this task, it’s an interesting way to see what “real peop

An important point that’s missed in this is that these small farms are a vital part of the US’ food security. So regardless of what an analogous business in another sector may choose to do, we really want small farms to be sustainable all o

Not the OP, but I assume they mean that it's encoded in the type system. For example Rust gives you a `Result<Thing, ErrorType>`, which might be a `Thing` or might be one of the possible error types given by `ErrorType`. So when

I suppose my negative experiences with async fall under #3, that it is hard to maintain two APIs. One of the most memorable "real software engineering" bugs of my career involved async Python. I was maintaining a FastAPI server wh

No problem - although I'm out of that particular role, it's appropriate to discuss since the company shared these details already in an openAI press release a few months back. I fine-tuned reasoning models (o1-mini and o3-mini) wh

I fine-tuned an LLM to do Verification IP wiring at a LLM hardware startup. We built the dataset in house. It was quite effective actually, with enough investment in expanding the dataset this is a totally viable application.

Thanks for the detailed reply, that’s very cool! This looks great, very usable way to do DI. Do you use Haskell professionally? If so, is this sort of DI style common?

I’d have liked to see the use of dependency injection via the effects system expanded upon. The idea that the example program could use pattern matching to bind to either test values or production ones is interesting, but I can’t conceptual

Visually I dislike the \\, but I see this solves the problem of multiline literals and indentation in a handy, unambiguous way. I’m not actually aware of any other language which solves this problem without a function.

Yours is rendered as: A\n\tsimple\n\t\tformatted\n\t\t\tstring\n\t If you wanted it without the additional indentation, you’d need to use a function to strip that out. Typescript has dedent which goes in front of the template string, for ex

Yeah, this is a case of "horses for courses", as you suggest. I love Python. It's amazing with uv; I just implemented a simple CLI this morning for analyzing data with inline dependencies that's absolutely perfect for wh

Well, even if we assume for a moment that we aren’t talking about non-public data… Then RAG which serves up knowledge already in the model’s pretraining data is still useful, because it primes the model for the specific context with which y

I’m currently doing research on this exact problem. Would you care to share an example of an advanced typing issue that you’ve seen LLMs struggle with?

I encourage you to try this yourself and see how you feel. Recently I used an LLM to help me build a small application in Rust, having never used it before (though I had a few years of high performance C++ experience). The LLM wrote most of
