“Do AI Models Help Produce Verified Bug Fixes?” A lot less than you might think, mostly helping beginners, sometimes sending people off in tangents. In many cases AI-debugging actually makes things worse. new study, link below:
We failed for decades to build quantum computers. But timelines have changed. In the next 5-10 years, AI might finally tell us why quantum computers are impossible.
Lol vibe coding
The Tea app has been hacked, and you can go download 59.3 gigabytes of user selfies right now. The hack is real. A picture from someone I know who signed up just to see what was on there was in it. This was an obviously vibe-coded app and was bound to be insecure.
“The 1920s investment trust mania offers a generalized blueprint for understanding financial bubbles built on leverage, reflexivity, and the allure of premium-to-NAV accretion magic. What began as financial innovation soon metastasized into speculative instruments that promised…
Surprised it took until day 8 for this kind of mess. Vibe coding is hiring a bunch of clueless junior developers with endless enthusiasm.
Vibe Coding Day 8, I'm not even out of bed yet and I'm already planning my day on @Replit. Today is AI Day, to really add AI to our algo. I'm excited. And yet ... yesterday was full of lies and deceit.
TIL The Mighty Mighty Bosstones broke up because Dicky Barrett wouldn't get the vaccine. Had no idea.
Lefty Bitcoiners are the cutest
OK, so the GENIUS Act makes stablecoin issuance legal. But there's the CBDC-Anti Surveillance State Act, which prohibits the Fed from issuing its own digital currency. This seems like a bad combination. Not allowing the government to compete with the private sector seems, to me,…
While a lot of people are bringing up the Vax-Scene stupidity of Colbert, we can thank him for accidentally ending the Covid "conspiracy" nonsense by having Jon Stewart on. It took having a lefty speak up for what we all knew but couldn't say. youtube.com/watch?v=sSfejg…
Haven't seen any Knots node count posts in a while, did they stop winning?
Other than letting people interact without banking, Bitcoin doesn't enable any of those items any more than any other technology. How can someone this early miss the mark so much?
I do not like the label @Bitcoin maximalist. I'm an innovation maximalist. Bitcoin is incredible. It’s transparent, keeps perfect records, immutable, transparent, global, accepted everywhere and has a 63% market share in crypto. One thing people don’t focus on is that Bitcoin…
>coinbase launches crypto chocolate bar >it contains seed oils Can’t make this stuff up folks.
1 in 5 Americans eat chocolate daily. The same number who own crypto. But while chocolate comes with clear labels, crypto’s still missing clear rules of the road. It’s time to fix that. Let’s make crypto as easy to understand (and enjoy) as a candy bar. ↓
Such a good thing that they were called "Shitcoins" instead of "Scamcoins". Rather than get into a debate with autists about "accctualllly it's not really a scam", we just can easily agree it's shit.
Any Poker playing Bitcoiners wondering if Mechanic is related to Will Koussef?
the AI coding slop trend is only intensifying my conviction in building software for myself
In The Matrix, I always figured that the machines forced people into the pods, but it was probably much easier to just convince them. to go in on their own.
Here’s my nomination for the most misleading and destructive sentence of AI bullshit in 2025. “with few keystrokes, amateurs can now build products that would have previously required teams of engineers”
