Was/is your reading hook for AI-generated code different than for human-generated code?

The author is a Principal Engineer at DeepSeek. I don't know what that title maps to in other organizations. Their formal education/background is in ML however.

The tweet is a response to https://x.com/ronawang/status/1986874105472426188 (disclaimer: I'm a software engineer with minimal compiler theory experience outside classes in college…

There's a lot of stuff the dev team can do that are not strictly business decisions though. Rate limits, QoS, etc.

Hi Peter - I'm on H1-B and not eligible for EB-1/2 or O-1. I filed for EB-5 through an RC and just got my EAD and I want to use that to start a startup in the US. If the underlying…

Gave my notice yesterday, last day of work is Feb 3... 7 days before the layoff.

The information density of the average LLM response is much much lower than my coworkers' responses to my questions.

> The only way to have an LLM where data and instruction never meet, in my view, is one that doesn't update in response to prompts (and therefore can't carry on a multi prompt conv…

No, the other comments that talk about possible architectural evolutions of LLMs are more in line with the intent of my question

Would training data injection be the next big threat vector with the 2 tier approach?

That is the cat and mouse game. Those books aren't the final and conclusive treatises on deception

Whats the endgame here? Is the story of LLMs going to be a perpetual cat and mouse game of prompt engineering due to its lack of debuggability? Its going to be _very hard_ to integ…

I don't feel like debating the predictability of any individual bug is in the spirit of the argument that I'm making here, which is just that software systems (absent formal verifi…

In my experience outside the niche of tech related content Kagi performed significantly worse than Google. Especially for content that was region specific and not just text natch b…

Tamper-proof packaging is a poor replacement for a first-time boot replacement warning. Not to mention the sheer impracticality of properly implementing tamper proof packaging (the…

After having reviewed the relevant material I think it's fair to say that hippos swim, per our conventional understanding of what swimming is.

Time commitments were generally aggressive but reasonable with a 10-20% buffer to account for ramp up (realistically closer to 10 than 20). The reasonable-ness of most things eng-c…

But relatively speaking the conclusions remain the same, with kitty being one of the fastest.
