False sense of security. What's stopping the agents from doing an elaborate form of "Assert.IsTrue(true)" in some/most/all of the tests since you are vibing it and not reviewing it?
Exactly what happened in a PR from a few months ago, from the beginning it felt wrong, pytest was moved from the dev group to the main import section. Then imported in our models. To add ignores everywhere.
Arguably, if the website does not have a positive value and only negative, the logical thing is to shut it down and keep the Google Business profile imo. I assume she has been paying for the domain name all this years too or is it a subdomain?
I think the new version is a net positive value as creates a better "vibe" to prospective patients than just a Google Business listing would, and I expect will age well.
The domain's used for email anyway and is on a very cheap local hosting plan, probably all-in-all like ZAR 84 per month and ZAR 200 per year for the domain, so ZAR ~1200 (USD ~75) per year.
Old website was built in a different era, Google Business didn't exist, "HTML5" wouldn't be a thing for another 5 years, web design styles were completely different and was before iPhone meaning that modern day "mobile friendly" was not even a thought.
When my father started running guest suites over 10 years-ago I made a single page website with essentially the same goals but using a Hugo template. The website still feels "modern" today, so I expect this new one of my mother's will age well too.
(In case you're not aware) It's the same thing. Uber operates in London as private hire operator, so their drivers are mini cab drivers. Same rules (now: basic English and rules test, yearly car inspections, MOT every 6 months, cars must have TFL badges, etc).
Actually, it (LLM models) has been advancing slower for a while. This is pretty much in the mainstream. And the current approach is facing all sorts of obstacles that are not exclusively technological. The compute needs are no longer sustainable. Financially, big labs are drowning in debt and backlash against data centres has grown so much that it has become an electoral topic in at least one major country.
It can be that while also causing problems. It's like when a self driving car crashes, it's big news and everyone runs around like their pants are on fire. When a human driver crashes, it's a blip on local news or not even that.
When a human driver controlling a bus crashes though it's a big story. Even bigger when it's a train. News scales with novelty and people impacted - 1 driver being a problem isn't an issue, an ai system used in many cars... That is more newsworthy.
Probably because there are 1000x or whatever human driven miles compared to AI. And no one wants to be crippled by an AI have have to fight $billon_dollar_corp for compensation.
The anti-hype is also way overblown. Nobody is saying that today's AI is omniscient and never makes mistakes. Future models will make fewer mistakes. They will still not hook into the universe with a cheat code and do everything at 100 percent reliability. It's a straw man.
The hype has significant real-world consequences such as nonsensical amounts of funding and valuations that could crash the world economy at some point. Until there some "check" on this system, i think the anti-hype is quite valid.
Sadly I'm not. Either way, how LLMs work mean that traditional software analysis tools are every bit as important as they were in the before times. This is why we see a lot of hype around LLMs and formal verification.
But yes, there is an interesting change in the past decade, where everything new must be over-hyped.
Perhaps it is attention overload and needing to shout. Perhaps it’s that technological progress has significantly slowed while communication options have exploded (coincidence?).
I look at it a lot like EVs. They’re great, if your use case is inside the specific band. But, that isn’t who they were being marketed to. And now… “pushback” is putting it lightly.
> But yes, there is an interesting change in the past decade, where everything new must be over-hyped.
Yep, the good old "Our tech is making the world a better place" has gotten old and a new approach was needed. If you are not making standard databases obsolete with a blockchain or MapReduce or gaining business enlightenment from Big Data, no one wants to fund your startup. Civilisation level change is the new upper bound.
> But yes, there is an interesting change in the past decade, where everything new must be over-hyped.
Or, it's that the last two years have been the largest and fastest shift in the daily life of a programmer since the compiler, with near everyone moving, simultaneously, to this new tech, not because of hype, but because of practical personal benefit.
Regardless, everything being hyped isn't new. There's always been silly hype in tech.
