Gaaa. Those short sentences. The style. Has this article been written by AI? I can't stand it any more.

I was thinking the same, very hard to read, lacking coherence and clarity.

An article last year by him:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/cvsa-2025-international-...

The writing style does seem a bit different.


> An AI-driven sensor activates and wall emitters blast infrasound waves toward the source of the fire in an attempt to put it out

What, exactly, is the role of AI in this context?


Could be vision based fire detection.

To help with seed rounds before revenue /s

> always the poor specs

But that is fundamentally what agile is about. It's not about coding faster, it's the recognition that the specs are incomplete or wrong because fundamentally, a lot of customers cannot tell you what the want until they see it. That's why "build something simple and iterate on it" works. Regardless of how good your spec is, once the coding is done the customer is going to realise that that's not what they actually wanted.


This is a weird backwards logic to justify terrible analysis


No this is literally in the agile manifesto. It's not logic at all, it's the written word of what agile is.

What that means is that Agile and agile are not the same thing. Most companies practice Agile, very few are agile.


This shows, once more, that humans are bad with modes. You have two copies of the repo, one in a transaction and one not in a transaction.

The problem is that the thing you use to build the transaction can also be used to directly manipulate the DB. A better API design would be to separate those two things.


Interestingly, modal editing comes very natural to us. It enters muscle memory quite well.


> The people using GenAI reap a major time and cognitive effort savings, but the task of verification is shifted to the maintainer.

The people using GenAI should be the ones doing the verification. The maintainer's job should not meaningfully change (other than the maintainer using AI to review on incoming code, of course).

Why does everyone who hears "AI code" automatically think "vibe-coded"?


Because that's what they're seeing? If only a small fraction of submissions can use the tool correctly, that's on the tool.


1 and 2 are really only an issue if you vibe code. There's no reason to expect properly reviewed AI assisted code to be any worse than human written code. In fact, in my experience, using LLMs to do a code review is a great asset - of used in addition to human review


So, that would make this GNU/Windows


They could brand it as “New Windows”


Out with the old, in with the GNU.


Remember when OpenAI was about not-for-profit AI development for the betterment of humanity?


Disabled does not mean you need a caregiver


I think you are confusing rings with discs. Larry Niven is the one doing the spinning


My apologies. You are correct indeed.
