China can pop a geiger counter 12 miles offshore if they like. We don't have to take Japan's word for it; the IAEA is monitoring, and significant radiation releases are hard to hide.

The physics here is not on the side of conspiracy theorists.

> China, which opposed the release and imposed a ban on Japanese seafood, has been accused of hypocrisy since its own nuclear plants routinely pump wastewater with higher levels of tritium than that found in Fukushima’s discharge.

I have a vial of radioactive tritium on my keychain as a novelty.

Critically, though, the LLM is not acting as a domain expert here. It's acting as a code mutator. The expertise it brings to the table is not mathematical - Codey doesn't have any special insight into bin packing heuristics. It's not generating "suggestive hints and promising leads", it's just help the evolutionary search avoid nonsense code mutations.
Historically, it's gotten much further behind, but they've gotten better recently.

Sounds like there is a need for investment into innovation beyond just building the next-generation fab for $2^x billion. Bringing the cost of a new less-advanced fab down from $2 billion to $100 million, and then building 20 of them, could also be profitable (though less exciting). There is a national economy that's actually been growing quite well for a few decades now by applying that general idea to other industries.
Nvidia is probably ten times more scared of this guy https://github.com/ggerganov than Intel or AMD.
A little of both.

The GM B-bodies & Ford Panther cars were probably making $10-15K profit per unit, as someone has said, most of the tooling was paid off. However, in addition to being even more profitable, pickups can also be built on the same assembly lines as a perimeter-frame RWD sedan; so it made sense...if all you care about is maximum profit in the SUV/pickup vertical, and not breadth of market offering for the brand.

And tbh even if people are absolutely fine with that, and think that the analogies and legal arguments that they make are absolutely sound and maybe think copyright's a terrible idea anyway, I still can't see why they'd expect Big AI to suddenly drop the "don't care what you think about how we use your stuff, if it's not explicitly illegal we're going to use it" stance when it comes to stuff that's supposed to be 'private' rather than stuff that supposed to be 'property'.

Sure maybe you care more about whether OpenAI has stuff derived from the contents of your Dropbox on their servers which is technically neither "training a model" nor the actual "copy" they were required to delete after 30 days than you ever did about copyrighted stuff. But why would OpenAI?

It seems that social stratification and violence can emerge in hunter-gatherer societies where there's enough resource abundance to generate surpluses. Some phenomena normally associated with agricultural societies (e.g., elite conspicuous consumption, slavery, warfare) have been observed in non-agricultural Pacific Northwest tribes like the Tlingit, where abundant salmon runs led to huge surpluses.
"We are unsure how the attackers managed to infect the router devices with their malicious implant. It is likely that they gained access to these devices by either scanning them for known vulnerabilities or targeting devices that used default or weak and easily guessable passwords for authentication"

When outsourced, you either A) rely on someone in your org to tell them what to test and what the workflows are, ie use them as a warm body/monkey to click on things for you - this is what most people see QA as, which is silly - or B) you rely on the outsourced QA to know your product and know what is important or what all of the edge cases are.

If your product is non-trivial in size or scope, ie it is not a cookie-cutter solution, then the testing of your product will also be non-trivial if you want it to work and have a good reputation (including during those all-important live demos, poc's, etc).

QA does not mean "click on things and go through the happy path and everything is fine" - not saying you are implying that, but gosh the amount of companies that think it's child's play is crazy.

I went to grad school with a guy who was in that situation. He worked at a bank and got laid off during the financial crisis. The plan was for the bank to port the old system over to Java or something like that, and they were "close" to the end of the project and they thought at that point the rewrite team was comfortable enough with COBOL that they could do the rest of the rewrite without him. Turns out that yes they understood COBOL just fine, but they desperately needed his institutional knowledge. He ended up agreeing to come back on a part-time basis at some obscene consulting rate for however long the transition took and in the meantime, he did grad school part-time to skill up.

I gather it was a trendy view in certain sectors of academia for some time, and possibly in parts of pop culture.

In about '04 or '05 one of my poli sci classes assigned War Before Civilization: the Myth of the Peaceful Savage (OUP, 1996, Keeley) and the professor spent much time debunking the notion of the peaceful savage or a time before war, but already then, almost two decades ago, it seemed like a weird thing to focus on because none of the students were aware this was a myth that needed debunking because we hadn't encountered it until that class. I assume it seemed important to the professor because some little academic war (ha, ha) over the issue had wrapped up in the recent past.
Trust is simple. If you can’t trust your own family, who can you trust? Families, that is the answer. Oddly, the trend is in the opposite direction; trust media, trust government, trust apple, OpenAI, etc…. Things will get better when that trend reverses.

No idea. I was making a joke about the headline which reads to me like the cars were laid off
Ignoring the common trope that developers are bad testers (I am, but not all devs are), QA presence allows teams to move faster by reducing the developer test burden to automated regression, and developer acceptance testing only. Good QA can often assist with those tasks too, further improving team velocity. Also, moving tasks to people who specialise in them is not usually a poor decision.

The best way I've found to sell QA to management (especially sales/marketing/non-technical management), is to redefine them as marketing. QA output is as much about product and brand reputation management as finding bugs. IMO, nothing alienates customers faster than bugs, and bad experiences result in poor reputation. Marketing and sales people can usually assign value to passive marketing efforts, and recognise things that are damaging to retention and future sales.
I think you just wrote the prompt right there.
Step 2. ????

Well, that's kinda the point, isn't it? Have the tests run after each PR, and it flags all the changes for you. For the intentional ones, that means the tests have to be updated (often just changing a line or two). But it also catches all your unintentional changes that you didn't mean to break.

This is especially important in complex UIs where everything from localization to state management to A/B testing can accidentally break things you didn't even mean to touch.

Isn't it better for the devs to spend a few minutes looking at a broken test (which they can easily fix themselves) than for a user to discover it and have to go through triage months later, when it's out of everyone's memories already?
Using something like e.g. Zig right now is already slower because examples are limited, a barrage of common questions over the last decade don't exist on a Stack Overflow type site, few people are experts in it, and the tooling/ecosystem is immature. Is replacing part of this with an LLM really impacting anything or just continuing what was already true before?
It is important to remember that most writing from just two thousand years ago didn't survive to us today. Due to the collapse of civilizations over time, the number of people capable of writing and therefore copying decaying manuscripts fell periodically. Only what the folks doing the copying felt was most important therefore survived, and many of those writings could have been changed by the transcriber (Beowulf comes to mind). While we have no evidence to support the idea that the oldest civilizations known had any form of writing, it is certainly possible that they did. It is also well-known to modern historians, anthropologists, and archaeologists that writing was often purposefully destroyed. As a new Egyptian king replaced a former, it wasn't unheard of for all mention of the previous to be completely erased. The Spanish purposefully destroyed "heathen" writings of the Maya. It is unknown how common these practices may have been in antiquity, but we know that many civilizations were quite proud of themselves and disdainful of all others.
What Writers Can Learn from Programmers
OpenAI do probably realize they will not win long term vs Open Source (see AI Alliance). Their way of centralized cloud models is simply too risky and not sustainable. What we see instead is more liberation, open source, cooperation, down-scaling, local models. Just look how many more tools and models is available today than even a year ago. And where is OpenAI? Still the same chatGPT, still the same DALL-E, nothing new.

Unit tests are great when you provide data that the methods expect and are sane. It's not until users get in front of the UI and submit data that you never even thought about testing with your unit tests.

To me, unit tests are great to ensure the code doesn't have silly syntax errors and returns results as expected on the happy path of coding. I would never consider that QA no matter how much you randomize the unit test's input.

Humans pushing buttons, selecting items, hover their mouse over an element, doing all sorts of things that have no real reason but yet they are being done anyways will almost always wreck your perfect little unit tests. Why do you think we have session playback now, because no matter what a dev does to recreate an issue, it's never the exact same thing the user did. And there's always that one little WTF does that matter type of thing the user did without even knowing they were doing anything.

A good QA team are worth their weight in $someHighValueMineral. I worked with one person that was just special in his ability to find bugs. He was savant like. He could catch things that ultimately made me look better as the final released thing was rock solid. Even after other QA team members gave a thumbs up, he could still find something. There were days were I hated it, but it was always a better product because of his efforts.
> Eg. if I rebooted any time I tried to plan how to kill someone, I don't see how this would make me materially worse at general tasks

In this scenario, the AI is capable of critical thinking, and is only constrained by a "police officer" ready to shoot the AI if it misbehaves. You haven't removed its ability to do critical thinking.

I liked the movie and it reminded me of when I was a kid and my dad bought me a Commodore 64 and 5 1/4 floppy drive and a 1-year subscription to Creative Computing magazine.

Rural community and only my dad worked since my mother was injured.
When I got out and returned back up north, I got a "job", got married, and had a neighbor who was a Unix programmer.

> Emulation on a modern X86 CPU will outperform any commercial available RISC-V processor at the moment

That's not true.

qemu-user is a little faster than the single-issue HiFive Unleashed from 2008, but qemu-system is slower.

Against either the dual-issue U74 cores in the JH7110 or the small OoO cores in the TH1520 and SG2042 qemu doesn't sand a chance on a core for core basis.

It used to be the case that qemu could win on x86 by throwing more cores at the problem, but with the 64 core SG2042 in the Milk-V Pioneer that possibility has disappeared too -- not to mention that the Pioneer is $1500 for chip+motherboard (need to add RAM and storage), while a 64 core x86 is $5000 just for the chip.

Just out of curiosity, what browser do you (either as an individual, or as a class of kernel devs) actually use? Discourse is so old, and so common... what doesn't support it? Lynx? A webkit derivative?
The Q&A teams I've seen worked the way you describe initially except they were valuable.

They weren't there for engineering, they were there for product quality. Their expertise was that they knew what the product was supposed to do and made it did it. Things like "unit tests" help development but they don't make sure the product satisfies client requirements.

If engineering is really on top of it, they learn from QA and QA seems to have nothing to do. But don't let that situation fool you into thinking they are "just creating noise and taking away more value than they provide"

Generating random numbers is a bit complicated! I wrote some of the samplers in Pytorch (probably replaced by now) and some of the underlying pseudo-random algorithms that work correctly in parallel are not exactly easy... running the same PRNG with the same seed on all your cores will produce the same result, which is probably NOT what you want from your API.

But, to be honest, it's not that hard either. I'm surprised their API is 2x slower, Philox is 10 years old now and I don't think there's a licensing fee?
> This often creates a situation where people need to "justify" their jobs.

On DevOps teams I see this constantly. Usually the best-compensated or most senior "Ops" guy or whatever they're called at the company spends a lot of his time extinguishing fires that were either entirely of his own creation/incompetence, which makes it look like he's "doing something." You automate away the majority of the toil there and this person doesn't have a job, yet this pattern is so insanely common. There's little incentive to do it right when doing it right means management thinks you sit there all day and do nothing.
Sure, but I don't think even Bender or Marcus would deny their potential for practical utility, right? I think they mean to say that LLMs are not exactly as miraculous as they might seem, and very capable of misbehavior.
Now, but that isn't how it started after the OpenCL 3.0 reboot, where 3.0 == 1.0.

I started off as a dev, wanted to change to being a tester/QA but was told by the CEO that "the customers are better at finding bugs than we are so just give the app a quick look over and ship it out" - I left soon after that.
I wish AMD or Intel would just ship a giant honking CPU with 1000s of cores that doesn't need any special purpose programming languages to utilize. Screw co-processors. Screw trying to make yet another fucked up special purpose language -- whether that's C/C++-with-quirks or a half-assed Python clone or whatever. Nuts to that. Just ship more cores and let me use real threads in regular programming languages.
> gig working is not always a straight forward 'capitalism bad' exploitation

It's not even about exploitation. Gig work is terrible from a capital formation standpoint. Gig workers are permanently low productivity workers with no breathing room or incentive for anyone to upskill them.

It's bad from a capitalist standpoint. Underdeveloped economies are basically all gig work because there's low levels of corporate organization. One explicit goal of the Nordic welfare model wasn't just alleviating poverty, but literally driving low productivity work out of the economy. Gig working is literally reverting to a sort of pre-capitalist mode of production. Varoufakis comes to mind, who correctly points this out in his recent book on digital platforms.
