The hardware company wit software margins.

I imagine for many consumers the choice is between the BYD or no car at all.

So the automotive equivalent of a MacBook or iPhone.

I have definitely become a curmudgeon but will strive to make my comments more constructive.

We have Copilot and can select between various OpenAI and Anthropic models, and when I accidentally select the “wrong” one it takes me awhile to notice.

That’s only helpful if AIs can find and help fix security bugs faster than it can help attackers find and exploit security bugs.

Then just have the same AI bug checks for new PRs and automatically reject any that fail.

It’s a tongue in cheek statement.

It feels like we need AI methods to write provably correct code, along with a way for AI to automatically translate existing code into corresponding provably correct code.

(And hope performance stays in the same ballpark as the old code.)

Interesting that this could result in net negative software productivity world wide in terms of features right now.

LLMs finding unpatched vulnerabilities faster than they can be reasonably patched, bringing all other software development to a halt.

Did you honestly need a /sarcasm tag in the article?

The article also concludes that overall, yes, finding more bugs is a good thing. Basically saying it’s the LLMs “fault” that the quality is improving, alongside a slight delay to the release.

Because there’s no credentialing thus no fear of losing those hard earned credentials.

…but “rogue” agents really did hack a site called HuggingFace?

Yes, bug count is roughly linear in the number of lines of code.

So are the accountants completely fucked yet?

Emacs is considered unprofessional in unprofessional work places.

Dictating specific tools without a very strong technical justification is a strong signal that your management doesn’t trust you to make any important decisions.

Good point that navigating, searching and reading text is perhaps even more important than editing in the age of LLMs.

You can always read the generated code and spruce it up or have the LLM refactor it to your liking.

You’re taking this way too seriously.

Yes, Emacs was designed almost perfectly 50 years ago to integrate with modern LLMs.

The descendants of those people have always been American citizens.

So you are arguing for not allowing immigrants to come and work those jobs?

Bernie used to be anti immigration for exactly this reason.

Sorry is this an argument for or against stronger immigration enforcement?

Just so I understand you:

Advocating for any restrictions on immigration means you are racist?

If not I honestly don’t understand what point you’re making.

Words have meaning.

Rogue would imply they are doing something at odds with the President’s wishes. The reality is worse.

When did he publicly eschew donations? He raised plenty of money, albeit bit as much as his competitors.

With how successful the Republicans have been recently it would be very strange if that were not the case.

As always Trump is worse but the Democrats hands are by no means clean.
