My experience with using AI tools for code review is that they do find critical bugs (from my retrospective analysis, maybe 80% of the time), but the signal to noise ratio is poor. It's really hard to get it not to tell you 20 highly s

At the moment I'm fairly OK using docker + integration scripts / tools that expose host OS functionality (like if it needs screenshots etc). I know there are lots of good arguments why docker isn't perfect isolation. But it&#

All I can say is remember . Remember the hypocrisy, the spineless lack of values, the willingness to engage, effectively, in corruption. That should be the permanent understanding you now have of these people. Next time they are up on sta

There seem to have been a lot of attempts to support GPU programming from Java and they always so far struggled to get adoption. HAT and TornadoVM look great, and it would be exciting if they took off. It's very impressive that Tornado

I love this style of writing. Simple, humble and direct transfer of knowledge.

well, that's kind of just a more extreme version of "5 minutes later you'd have started a project to carve your code out from theirs so you could deploy it independently" isn't it? For people without the luxury of

From the way you state it, it sounds like you have sole control and discretion over the deployments. Which is kind of exactly the point. Suppose there was another person also with top level responsibilty telling you not to do that? It might

well, that is the entire point of the article, literally the first sentence asks this question. If you're going to bring it up, maybe start from what the article says as your answer and go from there.

It definitely seems like the value of losing of transactional integrity is massively under appreciated. I think there has been a progression of thinking over the last couple of decades that went from laying everything at the god of transact

It's a bit like the argument with self driving cars though. They may be safer overall, but there's a big difference in how responsibility for errors is attributed. If a human is not a decision maker in the production of the code,

At a higher level, it goes beyond that. It's my job to take responsibility for code. At some fundamental level that puts a limit on how productive AI can be. Because we can only produce code as fast as responsibility takers can execu

Yes this is one of my concerns. Usually about 50% of my understanding of the domain comes from the process of building the code. I can see a scenario where large scale automated code works for a while but then quickly becomes unsupportable

is there a benefit of using a separate claude instance to update the CLAUDE.md of the first? I always want to leverage the full context of the situation to help describe what went wrong, so doing it "inline" makes more sense.

It's sort of a mini singularity event once you get sufficient test coverage (and other guardrails in place) that your app can "code itself" via agents. There's some minimum viable amount and a set of infra to provide st

It seems like one of the key events that needs to happen for any professional domain to take off is for it to develop an "inside" language that nobody else understands. For example, I still don't know what a kanban or a scrum

The battle is already lost as far as China owning the future markets for EVs and probably energy in general. It doesn't seem conceivable anybody else could match their scale, efficiency and technology advantages. If you're going

Now I'm interested ... It still kind of makes the point that you are stuck with a very limited range of models that they are hand implementing. But at least it's a model I would actually use. Give me that in a box I can put in a s

> API use is way too expensive Cry me a river - I never stop hearing how developers think their time is so valuable that no amount of AI use could possibly not be worth it. Yet suddenly, paying for what you use is "too expensive&quo

What can it actually run? The fact their benchmark plot refers to Llama 3.1 8b signals to me that it's hand implemented for that model and likely can't run newer / larger models. Why else would you benchmark such an outdated

This is pretty egregious. And outside the fact the server is now disabled by default, once it's running it is still egregious: > When server is enabled, any web page served from localhost/127.0.0.1 can execute code > When se

I guess there are two main concerns I have with it. One is technical - that I don't believe when you are grinding huge amounts of code out with little to no supervision that you can claim to be executing the appropriate amount of engin

hah - i'm the opposite, I want everything done by the AI to be a discrete, clear commit so there is no human/AI entanglement. If you want to squash it later that's fine but you should have a record of what the AI did. This i

Many of them are also exercising absurd token limits - like running 10 claudes at once and leaving them running continuously to "brute force" solutions out. It may be possible but it's not really an acceptable workflow for se

It just happens automatically. Once you set it running and it's chugging away there's nothing for you to do for a while. So of course you start working on something else. Then that is running ... before you know it, 5 of them are

yes just using AI for code analysis is way under appreciated I think. Even the most sceptical people on using it for coding should try it out as a tool for Q&A style code interrogation as well as generating documentation. I would say it
