No, people defraud shareholders all the time these days and get away with it. Look at Boeing

I don't know, man. Saying this is "just malware" is really stretching the definition of malware. At a minimum this is some pretty interesting and/or terrifying emergent behavior

for somebody who's out of the loop: what's the fuss over the ABC conjecture?

I use go for work and basically 100% agent-driven. I'd say using go with agents is a lot better than without. We use to have a consistent source of production errors where we forgot the pointer case in type switches (we'd pass a pointer to a struct where a concrete struct was expected and vice versa). AI hasn't made that mistake once in my experience.

That being said, the whole thing about go being "readable" is a little bit of a two-edged sword. Sure, it's straight-forward to read, but it's pretty verbose. And agents are good at producing a lot of text. The problem with reviewing go code for me is to see the forest for the trees. Subtle misunderstandings often hide in the vast amount of code that you have to read through while keeping the whole context in your head.

60 subagents for a day and a half. I guess he's not on the same plan I am on.

Now I'm not wont to ogle much in the swimming pool showers, but in my limited ocular estimation, wang size correlates much weaker than hands and feet.

The name is pretty ominous if you've read the Three Body Problem series. I don't want my agents planning against me in secrecy.

Just out of curiosity, why did you pick that name? Is there anything wallfacey about this project I'm not getting?

The most interesting thing about science fiction to me isn't the things the authors get right, but what they get wrong. Like, the whole house talking in a ChatGPT voice, intelligent appliances, etc: brilliant prescience. But he still thought we'd be having linoleum on our floors...

in general with automated code reviews I've found it fruitful to tell the model what specifically to look for and where. I usually don't get over 10% of the claude opus context window for code reviews, but it of course depends on how your code is structured, how much the agent has to explore etc.

What was it reviewing? Was it just a "take a look at this pile of code over here"? Because I think asking any model to review 30M lines of code is a stretch...

What I have noticed in my own work that a lot of the time that used to be for coding is now just waiting. I have three agents working on three different features in parallel, and I'll go back and forth with all of them, correcting things and steering etc, but then I find myself with three busy agents and nothing to myself except stare at the screen while they code away. There is a mental budget for me where I can't have more than those three running at the same time and still keep track so what I end up doing is just scrolling HN...

I've been reading a lot of stories like this lately. I'm no business genius, but you'd assume that investors are. Are they just blind or are they burning cash on purpose. What's the steelman argument here?

a friend of mine did a high school project where he and a friend learnt it well enough to have a short conversation with each other. That's the only time it has come up in life until now. I hope he sees this.

The scary thing is that it's unclear to me what would have happened if the guy hadn't had a Kik account, and the real perp had used just one underscore. Can you just pick somebody's username from another service to frame them for grooming? Couldn't you do this to anyone in that case, if that's all that it takes? I sure hope this article is leaving something out, otherwise this is some kangaroo court shit...

I agree that IntelliJ is a monster of a resource hog, but I have yet to find an editor where code navigation is as good. That's basically all I use it for these days, in the days of LLMs, and I still think it's worth it. VSCode, especially for golang, is terrible. I might be holding it wrong, but I've really tried, and it's just not good enough.

Before LLMs, when I still refactored by hand, coworkers who were using vim or vscode used to ask me to do big refactors, because IntelliJ always got it right, whereas with the other editors it was hit-or-miss.
