@karpathy I default now to asking for x and !x - especially for research/opinions..etc

@AstasiaMyers The entire SDLC is based on push vs pull and portions of it are now being disrupted by coding agents, which break this. Another factor is having humans + agents in the SDLC results in a tug of war b/w pull vs push and GPU vs human-speed. This converges on human + push.

@alighodsi NoSQL really meant "No SQL" NLP FTW

I wrote about the most ambitious form of AI-assisted software development I've seen yet - Strong DM's "Software Factory" approach, where two of the guiding principles are "Code must not be written by humans" and "Code must not be reviewed by humans" https://t.co/R0VYRwaZP5

A genuinely radical approach to software development with AI, without any human intervention. Even if this approach doesn’t work for many cases, I think we need more leapfrogging visions for how to redo processes with AI: https://t.co/GjkJ31wGOA

@Hragy I wonder if there's a study on heroine addiction for an extending period of time and its impact on the brain, logic and common sense. RFK ought to read that one first...

@Hragy I watched him once playing for Brazil after they won the 2002 WC. Also watched him with R. Madrid. Salah is good, but even he will tell you R9 is a different beast. Not comparable!

@Hragy Use ChatGPT to review and edit :)

@Hragy I love that beach! I used to descent through the cave opening through the top of the reef, just 10ish meters from the shore. Turn left and do a wall dive and back.

Early 90s diving!

A year ago, LLMs felt like amateur coders. Today? They’re game-changers—not just writing code but supercharging dev workflows, including code reviews. But which LLM does it best? I put 5 to the test in the Battle of LLMs: Code Reviews. 🔥💻 #AI #LLM
