Chess is a fun game. That's why it's been around for 1000+ years. There was a renaissance during Covid and due to 'The Queen's Gambit' where it gained much more mainstream popularity, but... Chess AI was already far

I mean the OpenAI/HuggingFace thing was incredibly similar, except maybe more reckless than specifically intentional, I suppose. Didn't stop them milking the doomer angle for PR.

I have to I say (if it's sarcasm) that I appreciate the commitment to the bit. Unfortunately, it's getting harder and hard to tell these days...

If the whole British Post Office Scandal (Fujistu, btw) in the UK wasn't enough, nothing will be. People literally killed themselves over the accusations/convictions that were 100% false. One of the major people responsible was an

That's a fair point. Ultimately, incentives are all screwy at the moment. Gotta tie some actual prestige/shame to not following up.

Absolutely. Very happy 10+ years subscribed here and I'll keep subscribing. (As someone pointed out in the comments, the title of this specific post could have been less heart-attack-inducing, but still... :) )

Not quite what you're asking, but pre-registration does alleviate e.g. p-hacking and such without the need for multiple teams. It doesn't do much for outright fraud, but still...

Exponential is also overkill (even with jitter as others have mentioned). I seem to remember there was a "you failed 5 PIN entries in a row, please wait 500000 seconds before you retry" on Apple phones. So, you probably also want

LinkedIn was overtaken by LLM nonsense at about the release of ChatGPT 3... I mean it was incredibly stupid and transparent engagement slop before that, but still. I remember talking to a business type who was so incredibly proud that GPT c

It might surprise you to learn that that would also be considered a dick move.

Yep, once people discover the multitude of JVM flags the cargo culting begins... It really applies to anything with a huge number of options, I remember similar things from back when I used Gentoo and the wild suggestions I'd get for w

It's definitely less likely with that technique (in practice!), but still very possible, via e.g. ODR violation or even the classic SIOF. So, ideally you'd want each separate test case to be compiled separately, but even then

Because this is garbage PR. That's it. Every property-based testing system (invented ca. 1980) will explore boundary values. The semantics (or lack thereof) of C and C++ can make this difficult to actually test for because the compil

AFAIK, the only correlation with LoC that's got solid evidence is this: the number of bugs correlates with LoC.

Indeed... why is Anthropic even employing people at all if this AI magic story is true?

You misunderstood their example, I think. If doesn't matter what 'p' is in their example. The point is: if 'f' is undefined behavior (rather than just impl-defined), then the optimizer concludes that the "if p

It was released at "end of life" for Larian patches for BG3, so I can imagine they didn't want to support any old Linux distro. I believe it is technically possible to run it on distros that are "similar enough"[0],

Yeah, I've been playing BG3 on Linux[0] for about 2 years at this point (using a Lutris "recipe" or whatever they call it). Ironically, the biggest issues have been with some of the modding tools needing specific versions of

The overhead isn't zero , but with SSDs (and filesystem caches in the gigabytes these days) it's damn near insignificant in pure terms of opening files and such.

Generated tests... I mean... listen to yourself. I can generate a lot of tests amounting to assert(true). Yeah, LLM generated tests aren't quite that simplistic, but are you checking that all the tests actually make sense and test

Try writing an exhaustive spec for anything non-trivial and you might see the problem.
