Feels like I'm losing the battle on this one, I keep seeing people use "vibe coding" to mean any time an LLM is used to write code
I'm particularly frustrated because for a few glorious moments we had the chance at having ONE piece of AI-related terminology with a clear, widely accepted definition!

A warning what happens when a tech company prioritizes OKRs (eg "ship the new app in Q2 2024") and hitting artificial goals is what everyone optimizes for. And stops:
- Listening to customers
- Doing proper QA testing
- Holding a new release until it is ready for prod

This is a really useful post to garner a realistic perspective about where coding agents are right now. They can do more than you expect an autonomous actor to do, but still fail often, and can't be left completely to their own devices yet.

GitHub actions code injection attack via malicious crafted branch name. Interesting! The Pull Request wasn't even merged but must have done something when GitHub Actions ran on the request. Be careful with your automated testing systems running on untrusted user code!

1) AIs are trained as black boxes, making it hard to understand or control their behavior. This is bad for safety! But what is an alternative? Our idea: train structure into a neural network by configuring which components update on different tasks. We call it "gradient routing."

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com
the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

A new Birmingham City Council scrutiny report has highlighted the enormous financial burden of road harm, with road casualties costing around £205 million in Birmingham EVERY year.
The current status quo is not only unacceptable on a human level but also economically ruinous.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
