Post-merge tests, once a day?

Who does that, we are not in 90s anymore.

Run all the tests and coverage on every PR, block merge on it passing. If you think that's too slow then you need to fix your tests.

justacrow · 21 days ago
We go through maybe 10k CPU hours in our nightly pipeline. Doing that for every PR in a team of 70 people is unsustainable from a cost standpoint.

The existing tests aren't optimal, but it's not going to be possible to cut it by 1-2 orders of magnitude by "fixing the tests"

We obviously have smaller pre-merge tests as well.

Posting at the top to point out that if you saw the image of a starving child recently, you’re looking at images of a child with a genetic disorder and you should reconsider which media you consume.

You can also find more images of Mohammed al-Mutawaq, an 18-month-old with cerebral palsy, with his healthier sibling - which was cropped by the media to exaggerate claims of starvation.

Here is a picture of Yazan, 2 (article from today): https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/un-agencies-warn-key-f...

Here is a picture of a child and others begging for food at an aid center (also today): https://www.npr.org/2025/07/29/g-s1-79039/gaza-children-star...

Here's Siwar Ashoura (14th May): https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjdznz727z8o

Here's what Ahmed el-Sheikh Eid, seven, looks like (4th of May): https://www.npr.org/2025/07/29/g-s1-79039/gaza-children-star...

Here's Osama, lying in a hospital (April 25th): https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-malnutrition-children-blo...

If you see these or other pictures of starving children, you are looking at images of children intentionally being starved by Israel, and you should reconsider what you think of their methods and intentions.

Are protests considered a legitimate use? If not, then that seems pretty problematic.

In Sweden at leasts, balaclavas and other wearables "preventing identification" is specifically illegal _at_ protests. From what I remember the danish case is similar.

Spend 15 minutes talking to a person in their 20's about how they use ChatGPT to work through issues in their personal lives and you'll see how much they already trust the "advice" and other information produced by LLMs.

Manipulation is a genuine concern!

It's not just young people. My boss (originally a programmer) agreed with me that there's lots of problems using ChatGPT for our products and programs as it gives the wrong answers too often, but tgen 30 seconds later told me that it was apparently great at giving medical advice.

...later someone higher-up decided that it's actually great at programming as well, and so now we all believe it's incredibly useful and necessary for us to be able to do our daily work

> If the US is in the wrong, why should I as a citizen not want our government officials held accountable?

A core principle of American justice is judgement by a jury of your peers from your community according to our laws, not by foreigners on the other side of the planet according to foreign laws. Violations of our core principles through means we were not a party to is a violation of our sovereignty.

"Core principles" here also being America assassinating and kidnapping citizens of other countries wherever they may be on the globe.

What's obviously needed is for OpenAI to invest 4B in a CaaS (Citations-as-a-Service) startup that autogenerates the studies their AI makes up.

Antirez is a top 0.001% coder . Don’t think this generalizes to human coders at large
justacrow · 3 months ago
Hey, my CEO is saying that LLMs are also top 0.001% coders now, so should at least be roughly equivalent.
