From their posts earlier in the thread, I'm 99% sure that's sarcasm.

Thanks! I'll definitely check out Python graphlib sometime. That's more in my wheelhouse.

Thanks so much! Now I can waste my life on more interesting things...

Against my better judgement I got into an argument with a promptfan on Bluesky. To his credit, aside from the usual boring arguments ("models are getting better, and better", "have you tried model xyz", "everyone not using chatbots will be left in the dust" he provided an actual example.

https://github.com/dfed/SafeDI/issues/183 It's a bug that's supposedly easy to test, but hard to reason about. Took the chatbot half an hour while it would take him several (allegedly).

Now, my first thought was: "If a clanker could do it (something that famously can't reason) then it couldn't be that hard to reason about."

But I was curious so I looked. Unfortunately it is an area I'm not familiar with and in a language (Swift) I don't know at all.

Probably should file the claim under "not true or false" and touch grass or something, but it's bugging me.

Any one y'all who could say if there's something interesting in there?

Problem: Reviewers do not provide constructive criticism or at least reasons for paper to be rejected. Solution: Fake it with a clanker.

Genius.

Was TPOT a Twitter thing?

If I recall correctly, TPOT literally means "That Part Of Twitter"

Joke's on him, Know-Nothing Know-It-All is also a trope.

tl;dr: AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI...

Just one thing that caught my attention:

AI code review helps developers. We ... found that 72.6% of developers who use Copilot code review said it improved their effectiveness.

Only 72.6%? So why the heck are the other almost 30% of devs using it? For funsies? They don't say.

You'd think due to self selection effects most people who wouldn't find using Copilot effective wouldn't use it.

The only way that number makes sense to me is if people were force to use Copilot and... no, wait, that checks out.

I don't see the problem, that looks like a typical McMansion to me.

Also, it's nice the AI included a dedicated room for snorting cocaine (powder room).

A week-ish ago I said that Mike Masnick is twice as annoying about AI as Dare Obasanjo.

I retract my statement
