It happens as soon as the fourth sentence (maybe even the third):

> There was a silence at the table—not confusion, but recognition.

Then keeps happening again and again and again to the point where it would be obnoxious even if a human wrote it.

It's unbelievable to me that there's a kind of person who would publish an article about learning that is so obviously AI generated, and from a professor nonetheless. Maybe this is some sort of experiment or an ironic joke that went over my head.

These sorts of tests are invaluable for things like ensuring adherence to specifications such as OAuth2 flows. A high-level test that literally describes each step of a flow will swiftly catch odd changes in behavior such as a request firing twice in a row or a well-defined payload becoming malformed. Say a token validator starts misbehaving and causes a refresh to occur with each request (thus introducing latency and making the IdP angry). That change in behavior would be invisible to users, but a test that verified each step in an expected order would catch it right away, and should require little maintenance unless the spec itself changes.

Georgia Tech has a great online MSc CS program (OMSCS) that's very affordable for what it is, though the amount of direct interaction with the professor varies from class to class.

> That does not mean there isn't an AI system that can do X.

You are holding the burden of proof here...

The post title is misleading and the content reads more like a guerilla advertisement for claude. TL;DR: author works for Anthropic, and used claude to implement an optimization for LLVM.

And the top 1000 replies for any stupid thing he says are nothing but positive reinforcement from boosted blue check bot accounts that bury any actual criticism.

Wow, if I needed any more proof Google is a ghost ship then this is it. The $5K bounty is an insult, and the fact that they low-balled it in the first place makes them look like absolute clowns. Good on you for calling out how little of a shit Google gives about actually protecting user data.

It's very common to see from devs that don't really grasp reactive programming. You often see similar things in Angular projects because of RxJS.

I like how the app shows reference calls/songs for detected birds so I can verify using my own judgement, or to figure out which birds are which when there's a lot of chirping going on.

> No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched.

I'm curious why no Coinbase Prime accounts were part of the leak (assuming that's what they mean). Is there some sort of additional layer of data protection behind the Coinbase Prime paywall? Or perhaps those accounts were intentionally avoided as they would presumably belong to more savvy users.

The mere concept of a "business book" seems like hamfisted satire. It blows my mind how so many white collar workers genuinely entertain the concept in the first place.

Thank you for that.

The lack of dependency awareness drives me insane. Someone imports a single method from the wrong package, which snowballs into the blind leading the blind and pinning transitive dependencies in order to deliver quick "fixes" for things we don't even use or need, which ultimately becomes 100 different kinds of nightmare that stifle any hope of agility.

> You set up your standard, and stick to it whomever comes.

Well, the standard for software licensing is to sell cheaper licenses to smaller businesses and more expensive licenses to larger businesses.

I like the facebook comparison, but the difference is you don't have to use facebook to make money and survive. When the thing is a giant noisemaker crapping out trash that screws up everyone else's work (and thus their livelihood), it becomes a lot more than just some nuisance you can brush away.

If there was any political motivation at all it would simply be to save Boeing's arse. They're one of two commercial airliner manufacturers in the world, so the US clearly has a vested interest in keeping them running.

This is brilliant, thanks for sharing.

The "rapid unscheduled disassembly" bit is not cute. This was a malfunction that caused a giant explosion to rain smoldering debris across miles of earth (for the 2nd time), not some inconsequential thing to laugh off.

This reminds me of one of my favorite SO answer-rants that reads like an angry Dr. Seuss rhyme: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36627158

> Which of these are the "checked" exceptions? Throwables are checked exceptions, except if they're also Errors, which are unchecked exceptions, and then there's the Exceptions, which are also Throwables and are the main type of checked exception, except there's one exception to that too, which is that if they are also RuntimeExceptions, because that's the other kind of unchecked exception.
