Meta’s LLM for software testing work is super exciting.

This paper describes Meta’s TestGen-LLM tool, which uses LLMs to automatically improve existing human-written tests. TestGen-LLM verifies that its generated test classes successfully clear a set of filters that assure measurable improvement over the original test suite, thereby eliminating problems due to LLM hallucination. We describe the deployment of TestGen-LLM at Meta test-a-thons for the Instagram and Facebook platforms. In an evaluation on Reels and Stories products for Instagram, 75% of TestGen-LLM’s test cases built correctly, 57% passed reliably, and 25% increased coverage. During Meta’s Instagram and Facebook test-a-thons, it improved 11.5% of all classes to which it was applied, with 73% of its recommendations being accepted for production deployment by Meta software engineers. We believe this is the first report on industrial scale deployment of LLM-generated code backed by such assurances of code improvement.

OpenAI just released its Code interpreter to all Plus users.

You now have access to a junior programmer at the speed of your fingertips.

Here's everything you need to know:

This is the very best of humanity.

Lewis Capaldi, who has Tourette's, was unable to perform... and 100,000 voices lifted him up.

The longer you take on a deal, the less likely you are to materialise it.

Joburg, don't ignore potholes when you see them report potholes, faulty traffic lights, and unclear road markings to @MyJRA on email: [email protected] or call the Joburg hotline: [phone]. #JoburgServices #JoburgUpdates ^LM

@VusiThembekwayo Focus drives performance. However, I don't believe it is practical to limit your day to one task at a time, where possible dedicate focus time to the important stuff. This requires planning.
