one huge advantage of generated code is that the person actually committing to it has no real emotional bond to the work that went to it. you can spend half a day on some stupid thing that gets replaced by something better later and you don't feel attacked. -

> This article examines eight of the most common misconceptions. We already know developers don’t actually spend most of their time writing code, with studies at Microsoft and elsewhere showing it’s closer to 14 percent. That means AI code generation, even when it works well, touches a surprisingly small slice of the actual job.
"We already know that actually scoring a goal is only ~0.5% of the time spent by professional football players. So an assistant that scores a goal all day touches a surprisingly small slice of the actual job" -

I switched the fediffusion database to neondb, so now I can rollback to any point in time or give debug tools access to the full db to work with it as they want without affecting the original db via cheap branches. In conversation from fediffusion.art permalink -

pretty hilarious, counterexample to a minor conjecture found by chatgpt: https://chatgpt.com/share/6a60b2eb-0b64-83ee-9c76-7931ca1de063
the funny part is the input of the user: he just tells it "okay but for real find a counterexample" until it doesIn conversation from fediffusion.art permalink Attachments

> In our evaluations, Kimi K3 delivers frontier-level performance. Among the models tested, its overall intelligence ranks second only to Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol. For the complete benchmark results, see our tech blog. The full model weights of Kimi K3 will be released in the coming days.
Absolute huge if true
