@nu_maroon @JoyNewsOnTV Do you think we're not going to see "AI solutions" in the health sector pretty soon? Couple that with our deficiencies in data protection and cyber security, and you get free exfiltration of our medical records.

Funny thought experiment: We currently train LLM's to model the statistics of token sequences in a given dataset. That produces weights/parameters. Now since we have dataset -> weights statistics, could we somehow train models to output *weights* based on the given datasets? 🤔

@rfleury @forgebitz I guess you could say "coding" in this sense means writing syntactically correct programs. The "engineering" is where the real work is. The code is only a medium, I'd say.

This implies AI is not “really good at coding”, since the output quality is still bottlenecked by human verification. But because LLMs allow human verification to be a weaker constraint, in practice, simply less of it happens. Result is a larger quantity of slop. Far less value than asserted—and certainly too little value to justify all current investments.

software is only getting worse, more bugs, bad uptime which is weird because ai is really good at coding at this point the productivity gains are erased by the speed of creation; we move faster but not "better"

@galnagli i'm not talking about a BSD DoS btw... that i completely agree with. it's the notion that old bugs are irrelevant that's provably wrong

We should stop treating "how long the bug existed in the code" as a measure of impressiveness. Code pushed days ago that gives an attacker complete access from the outside will always be more relevant than a 15-year-old flaw that's "barely exploitable" in the real world.

@nother_pleb @TheGingerBill @valigo Same here. I'm not versed in type theory, but what I know about lifetimes is that they represent a generic scope (function, loop, block, etc.), and the annotations allow determining the validity of scope overlaps. So I don't get the argument either.

@TheGingerBill @valigo Hm, not sure I understand. Rust lifetimes are generic, you don't specify the lifetime (except 'static), what you specify is the relationship with other lifetimes ('a: 'b, a outlives b) etc. So how would non-generic lifetimes work? Functions require call site information?

The more I learn about C, the more I see how much of a lost opportunity C++ is. There's also an alternative reality where Rust is much more pleasant, because its only goal was to improve C safety instead of one-upping modern C++

Currently building a small per-process network usage monitor for linux. GUI built with @zeddotdev's GPUI and backend built on aya-rs eBPF library. GitHub link below.

This is one of the best tech youtube channels. Like, actual tech. Debugging Windows kernel (yes, Windows kernel!), drawing graphics with assembly, creating Linux distros from scratch. With all first principle sources. It's a crime that Nir doesn't have 100k subs!

Android apps posting long toast messages that can't fit into the popup is pretty bad for UX/A11y. I've had to run an Automate flow to log these toast messages so I can read them.
