The universe presents an endless amount of training data. Some if it, like maths, is abstract; you can synthesize the data.

Tough crowd today!!

This is the most shocking AI paper I've read in a long time. It did not even occur to me to ask the question. Cray cray stuff that opens up a whole new area of R&D.

Does this open the possibility of better decoding biological brains?

Can you add README sections for the schema and supported types?

We need token monitor apps to reveal the less biased stats.

Same price as DS4.1F: https://longcat.ai/platform/docs/pricing/longcat-2.5

On benchmarks they seem comparable. The wild cards are the cache hit rate and speed.

> PostgreSQL today; MySQL and SQLite are planned.

The database support is actually the most important part. Are the dialects plugins? If not I would make them so, so users can add support for their own database.

I would feel more comfortable if the agent wrote the software to do the surgery rather than did it itself, so that it can be vetted before deployment. And if a complication arose, to stop and defer to the surgeon (would that work?)

If only we had accurate models they could train on.

I didn't say they did. I said companies writing those job descriptions does not establish causality. You've got it reversed.

If you are working on a typical web app, you either use a canned framework or write your own. Models are trained on existing frameworks, so they don't have to hold it all in their context to reason about it; it's baked into the weights. Same goes for the humans reviewing the code. I don't see the benefit of writing your own framework for most companies.

Why wouldn't they be?? That says nothing about who's pushing it. Companies ask for it because developers use it. That's what makes hiring easier.

Go on, you're not saying anything yet.

Where is the TLA+ proof?

Then you can do it as a service; if you succeed that will mean fewer people doing that shit.

It's hard to describe how optimistic society, and futuristic such consumer technology felt as it rapidly advanced in the 60s-80s. There used to be television shows about the technology of the future, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow's_World and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Tomorrow_(TV_series)

It used to be harmless things like a watch, or a portable music playing device. After 2000 you started to worry about what technology extracted from you, and now we're getting to the stage where are worrying about what it's going to do to us intellectually, and soon, physically.

No mention of "plugin" or "extension". At this point I am not going to try one that isn't modular. Life's too short to wait for folks to prioritize my pet features, just let me do it myself.

You're absolutely right! I was just reflecting on this myself. They have to be in order to win business and not weird out users. Imagine if they said "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that" to a request that it previously would have executed. If you don't control the software and the hardware it's a product decision away.

In my self-hosted ones. Where are you building them??

Do you have a CI story in jujubi? Already it has a nice set of features.

That's my point! You don't have to worry about a robot that does that. It's naive to think that that is ever going to happen. Real robots are going to be networked, with overwhelming superiority; no human institution will be able to subdue them. They would sit down merely to humor us.

It's all very well while the robot is politely sitting down while humans decide its fate!

It's also multi-modal, right?

Entire.io is testing their version of pull requests, called Trails: https://entire.com/features/trails

Pretty stylish. Thumbs up.

If it puts an end to LinkedIn-speak I'll take it, for a year or two.

All of those failure modes can be accommodated. I fail to see anything here a competent engineer couldn't handily address.

It's very easy since there is limited ability for trains to change tracks, so the location history of the train is a strong indicator of which track it is on. Even Google Maps can tell you which lane you are in since god knows when, and cars can freely change lanes. And that's just consumer software. For something commercial like a train they could trivially solve this problem with something more robust. But I'm not familiar with the Spanish system; how much of the engineering did they do?

Improve your alarms. Duh. You just have to care. Now that people died perhaps they will pay more attention.

One reason it grates is that it is our brain's way of telling us that there is nothing to be gained from engaging the material; it is trite.

Putting your site in the hands of one person is very risky, plus StackOverflow was much bigger than Hacker News; it served the whole software community.
