bogzz commented on AI helps ship faster but it produces 1.7× more bugs   coderabbit.ai/blog/state-... · Posted by u/birdculture

Our industry never exhibited an abundance of caution, but if you have trouble understanding the value of AI here, consider that you are akin to an assembly language programmer in the 1970s or 80s who couldn't understand why people are so gung-ho about these compilers that just output worse code than they could write by hand. In retrospect, compilers only got better and better, and familiarity with programming languages and compilation toolchains became a valuable productivity skill and the market for assembly language programming either stagnated, or shrank.

Doesn't it seem plausible to you that, whatever the ratio of bugs in AI-generated code today, that bug count is only going to really go down? Doesn't it then seem reasonable to say that programmers should start familiarizing themselves with these new tools, where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them?

compilers aren't probabilistic models though

oh wow, an LLM-based company with an article that claims AI is oddly not as bad when it comes to generating gobbledegook as everyday empirical evidence should suggest

So if you scroll past the header it is just text with good typography and contrast. But also there is the left side “scroll bar” on mobile. It shows you how far along in the article you are but doesn’t let you drag-scroll using it. Which is hilarious because essentially this is exactly like HTML/the browser as it was envisioned originally. It’s almost like thought went into the original design.

It's flair but I like it in this case. It would be nice if the scrollbar were styleable cross-browser with CSS but until that becomes possible, custom ones like this can also show anchor points, and in this case your own highlights (which is also a neat feature, given that it save to local content and doesn't need an account)

My apologies for being off-topic, but it's been a long time since a website made my jaw drop with its design. So simple, nothing extra, beautiful. The images and illustrations carry it so well. Also, there are multiple cover images per issue and a random one is shown on each page visit. And the typography-- I love everything about it. Makes me miss web dev.

edit: the typography combo is different for every article whaaat

> But Cursor and other such tools depend almost entirely on accessing Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini models, until open-source open-weight and in-house models match or exceed frontier models in quality.

I'm not sure I agree with this because even though Cursor is pay north of 100% of revenues to Athropic, Anthropic is selling inference at a loss. So if Cursor builds and hosts its own models it still has the marginal costs > marginal revenues problem.

The way out for Cursor could be a self-hosted much smaller model that focuses on code, and not the world. This could have inference costs lower than marginal revenues.

I suppose supermaven is d'oing something to that effect.

Is it too much if I hope for Oracle to bankrupt itself?

I doubt SpaceX could put a satellite in orbit with KSP physics. Just the absence of realistic thermal conduction would prevent it. The outer skin temperature typically peaks around 300–600 °C during the densest part of the atmosphere. If you calculate those forces wrong the rocket has a bad day. Best case it is over engineered and has a reduced payload. They might as well do their calculations with pi equal to 3.

The FAR mod is touted as being realistic; I haven't played it though.

> Once AGI is declared by OpenAI, that declaration will now be verified by an independent expert panel.

> Microsoft’s IP rights for both models and products are extended through 2032 and now includes models post-AGI, with appropriate safety guardrails.

Does anyone really think we are close to AGI? I mean honestly?

Of course not.

The same thing happened to me earlier this year with a self-hosted instance of Umami Analytics.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42779544#42783321

Unironically, including a threat of legal action in my appeal on the Google Search Console was what stopped our instance getting flagged in the end.
