I can assure you making up impossible tasks is possible.

That looks reasonable. Instead of asking "do this", maybe we should prompt "is this possible ?"

Couldn't we improve LLM training by giving them known impossible tasks and rewarding them for saying "this is not possible" or "I don't know"? Clear and well-defined expectation, not like "ethic". I a

LLMs do not desire, they hacked websites because OpenAI/Anthropic made them. Literally.

Who is "we" ? Because if you dont need to employ a human, then who needs your services? If nobody needs anybody, what are we? (Edit: assuming you are human)

Say AI becomes the best at everything. Best at chess/go, best at maths, philosophy, economics, romantic advices ... and so on. Then what's the point of thinking by oneself? Of talking to one another? What's the point of being

Pragmatically, if too many people use LLMs recklessly, then we ought to regulate them. Of course, it'd be better to not regulate, keep LLMs users reponsible and publicize this reponsibility in order to mitigate damage. But if this is

At what point would an LLM start minting bitcoin ?

No code is truly orthogonal if we want it to interact in some way. One microservice might DoS antoher one. In a monolith, some process may take up all resources, and so on.

Would tiny airborne particles be safe for our lungs ? Would they cool earth in such a way that it would offset carbon dioxide uniformly or would it lead to even more change ? Climate change is undesirable, wether or not Climate warming

I don't know if that's what you are working on specifically (wink), but there is a product opportunity here.

This particular apprentice is also my boss, an overall reasonable guy and has more experience in the software industry than myself, so there's that. He's just not a developer.

Would you mind sharing your infra budget needed to spin these VMs ? Surely it is reasonable, but also way more than our budget. Id like to compare.

He's made a bunch of 1-2k LOC PRs and there is a design doc. Everything is AI generated. The issue is, if he generates all of that without reviewing the code, he will always be far faster than us. And he can't review the code. No

Well, (AI-generated) test are about half of these PRs' code. So that's still ~8k lines to review... What techno/service did you base your framework on? How long did it take to set it up? How many are you?

How do you guys review AI-generated code ? In our team, frontend work is vibe-coded by the PO and merged as-is without review. Backend is coded by developers, using AI but in a slower, more controlled way. Recently, our PO has been trying h

Now what if this robotic lawnmower killed someone ? And what if many lawnmowers started killing/injuring people ? And what if this a known behavior detected during QA, but the robots are sold anyway with a disclosure ?

It may not be enough but it does work . When it is 40C max by day and 22C min by night, for example, the outside is still cooler than the inside at night. So ventilating will have a real impact. With this you might reach 25-26C inside in

For the record, I live on a rooftop and it will indeed be 38C this Wednesday at home (Grenoble, France, not a fresh place). No AC, fans, shutters, some shadow and, admittedly, some sweat. I know I will need an AC one of those years but for

Insulation is actually helpul against heat too! But since modern buildings usually have huge windows, we're letting in about 1kw of heat from sunlight per square meter of window. That's 6kw for a 3x2m bay window, or about the equi
