“the term “hallucinate” obscures what’s really going on. It also serves to absolve the systems’ creators from taking responsibility for their products.” https://twitter.com/mmitchell_ai/status/1642930558601953280

Being able to move around and pick objects in VR is amazing. Yet you often found yourself working in a physical room, set things up then work again later in a smaller one, even seated in a plane or train.

@imaginary_dev hey have you checked CodeT and “dual execution agreement” https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1640276599760211970 might be able to leverage that too.

Might want to check the premise of @imaginary_dev again still. It doesn’t ask to generate code, it asks the result itself. That is interesting IMHO because it’s a new paradigm. A very costly and risky one still, yes novel AFAICT.

Also FWIW “just” the act of voicing a thought, even more writing it down, helps.
Just yesterday had a strange bug. I didn’t ask anyone, only wrote it down… and in the process of doing so solved it https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/issues/90

Despite Sutherland’s The Ultimate Display and my own tinkerings bringing physical paper https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1148630163736989701 to XR I prone a plurality of UIs and media https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1567582230695841800 and indeed there is no replacement proper.

PPS: a lot if not most of developers I discussed with, me included e.g https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1621760472461594624 , did already play and even formally learn AI at some point and even more so recently. Yet I know exactly 0 who don’t program anymore. Do you?

Anyway, once again my main suggestion here isn’t about if programming is going to disappear, if CS education is imperfect, but rather to reconsider how we, collectively, insure that whichever tools or processes we use, it truly is for our empowerment https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1306566303839391744

To clarify “scale is all you need” is a motto, cf https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1639515964466249728 , just like Moore’s law was an observation (with arguable interpretations of it) not something proven so the predictions should be seen as such, not a sure way to describe the future we want to shape.

“nobody actually understands how large AI models work […] The shift in focus from programs to models should be obvious to anyone who has read any modern machine learning papers.”
And yet, that doesn’t prevent the author, like many others, from making extreme predictions.

Honestly… “AI systems will be flying our airplanes, running our power grids, and possibly even governing entire countries.” is painful to read in so many ways.
The worst being IMHO the trivial transition between a technical problem, e.g adjusting ✈️pitch, to a moral problem.😤

Replying to @utopiah
Again I’m all for abstractions, composability, improved tooling but I wary of black boxes, being either by design (e.g proprietary software or unpublished models) or by pedagogical laziness. We MUST understand together to do better.

And even arguably dangerous https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1508373146986070016 because it means that lack of understanding, even if naive and theoretical, does lead to putting trust somewhere that might not be justified.

“I am willing to bet good money that 99% of people who are writing software have almost no clue how a CPU actually works, let alone the physics underlying transistor design.”
Might be true https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1427636122033733632 but these people are missing an amazing opportunity to learn.

Also, and this is just my personal perspective, not something proven in any way, but I think the effort and pleasure is key.
Namely if you are wasting time and getting tired of menial task, yes AI can be useful.
Yet, if you do enjoy AND learn while doing so, effort is precious!

FWIW https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1640276599760211970 so that could be delegated, at great cost, to other AI generated code.

Honestly thinking back about this feels a bit like the GUI being the end of the command-line kind of argument.
That’s very VERY superficial. The entire Internet is run by people managing clusters of machine from… the CLI, using decades old commands. https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1320671341188624384

So… yes programming will KEEP on changing but as long as me must implement we will translate ideas to code to action. That’s programming.

This is a repetition of the “dream” of the worker-less factory. In the end that do NOT exist, anywhere!
Yes there are factories full of robots (do check logistic fulfillment centers or assembly lines for modern cards, truly fascinating) but there are still humans…

Replying to @utopiah
Since at least the 70s we have been using programs… to write programs. Compilers that take our code to write actual code for the machines.
Nobody is writing code by hands, we have an entire stack of tools dedicated to support that already.

Programming is indeed changing https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1641340144677531648 but… think about it for a minute, please, since we moved on from assembly and low-level languages, none of us have been “writing” code “by hand”.

🤷♂️Basically an advertisement “startup developing AI capabilities to support software dev”
Yes it’s important to be aware of changes, even progress, in the field but still we must remain skeptical and at least realistic of the costs, both financial, ecological and intellectual! https://twitter.com/CACMmag/status/1605599840825593863

The irony…
Paraphrasing : "

_ Well it’s that AI which generated that broken code in the first place."This is going great.🤷♂️

It’s important if you want to also add gitea to boot.

Replying to @utopiah
Important detail but in termux, the ssh user and the system user aren’t exactly the same (despite what whoami returns) so make sure to change /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/gitea/app.ini to reflech that, usually changing e.g u0_a82 to android.
Looking at gitea output helps.

The installation of Gitea was surprisingly easy :
- pkg install gitea
- nohup gitea
- load http://QuestIP:3000 to configure
- migrate from existing repository via access token to include issues, labels, etc
- load http://localhost:3000 on Quest
That’s it, took less than 5min.
