This is the way. Accept code on merit and ensure that a person takes accountability for it. Doesn’t matter if it was typed, chiseled, generated, or bit-flipped via magnetized needle on a chip. If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s slop, it’s slop. Quoting @LundukeJournal KDE is working on an official AI / LLM policy, and it reads like the rules of Fight Club. In short, KDE’s AI policy: 1) Encourages using AI, as long as a human is kept “in the loop”. 2) But you can’t tell anyone that you used AI. “Don’t disclose LLM usage”. “Don’t add ‘Assisted-by: [some LLM]” (as… Related

The gold standard in the statistical analysis of scientific data is a p-value of 0.05. Never mind what it means. It is the threshold people use to say the result did not occur by chance. There is a wide consensus. Nearly all experts treat it as the bar to statistical significance. I am quite certain that most do not know what it means or where the number comes from. Never mind that. In principle, it means that if you redo the experiment, the result should hold. At least, that's what most people hope when they hear that a result is 'statistically significant'. It often will not.

One very visible effect of AI this summer has been a large influx of bug fixes. In some sense, it is the opposite of AI slop. I manage widely deployed libraries and, in some cases, the number of pull requests has been doubled. In the simdjson library, I merged 92 pull requests in 2024, I am at 134 thus far. In many instances, AI found long standing well hidden bugs. It makes me happy because I dislike bugs. But this puts stress on people packaging and distributing these libraries. Sadly, I have also never received so many pull requests that I have not merged. For simdjson, I received 219 pull… Related

It is fine to repeat your words. In fact, it is fine to repeat words not only “in the same section,” but in the very next sentence. Successful rhetoric is a story of variation—but that does not mean you should vary constantly. Constant variance is simply noise; a distinctive voice is made less, not more distinctive by background static. The goal is to set expectations, then break them. Long sentences are broken by short ones. Latinate terms are broken by Saxon ones. You repeat a cadence, or a figure, or a word—and then you break the pattern you have set. This keeps readers interested. It also… Quoting @tomieinlove There's a soft rule in English prose: you shouldn't repeat the same word in a section.

Their words
It is totally okay for a young engineer to do something they've never done before just the way it's okay for them to do something that nobody has ever done before. But uh but if somebody has done it before in the world, uh our rule is you have to go find one of those people, call them, and ask them your advice. And you don't have to take it. You just have to hear it.

Programmer and writer on computer architecture, performance, and software reliability. He has worked on CPU design at Centaur Technology and on software at Google and Microsoft, and writes long-form technical essays at danluu.com.
In another variant of https://danluu.com/learn-what/, I caught up with a former colleague who worked on automated theorem proving. It turns out he's had an interesting career doing all sorts of interesting stuff using the skills he developed by spending a decade writing/using theorem provers. At one point, he said, "if you use X like a theorem prover, it works really well", which surprised me to hear, but of course this is a highly generalizable skill just like compilers or benchmarking/evals.

And I said, I want everyone everyone's voice to be heard and then I'll be the single vote. And I think that's the way a company should be run. I think there's one CEO, there's one chef. I think a good CEO is going to seek out the intellectual honesty, the truths from everywhere and hear from everybody and then they're going to make the decision and they're not going to make the decision because it's most popular in the company.

An underappreciated thing about Substack is that it has slow virality. That social media thing where you have to churn out content because it is forgotten after three days is much less the case here. If you want to, you can put in serious effort into making a properly good piece, and it will keep getting read for years. This is a very good thing for both readers and writers, and I wish more people leaned into making few but exceptional pieces: doing things well is a viable strategy here in a way that it wasn’t on older platforms.

As longtime readers and listeners of mine know, a big theme in my techno-criticism is the under-appreciated degree to which technologies exert powerful, unintended consequences on our personhood and culture, so Ward's warning hits a sweet spot with me.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
