I have seen a few (unsourced) suggestions that the #eMudhra #infosec debacle might be the result of agentic coding… Has anyone seen a more in-depth analysis of what may have led to this clusterfuck, and how likely it would be for #LLM code to be involved, vs an engineer taking that XKCD strip a […]

Based on the willingness of our household to spend the gdp of Paraguay to get an “emergency” vet appointment and skip the 24h wait for our regular vet (“she went from keeping her left eye closed 40%, to 60% this morning”)… I think it’s a good thing we don’t have kids, or we’d be long bankrupt.

The fact that the Terminator models go from T2 to T1000, implies that the all-powerful AI waging war on humanity is going with the kind of stupid marketing naming scheme a Microsoft exec would come up with… which frankly checks out with the current state of AI.

Dijkstra summing up the "Can Machines Think" problem as akin to asking whether "Submarines can swim", courtesy of @pluralistic (possibly my second favourite Dijkstra quote, after "Computer Science is as much about computers, as Astronomy is about telescopes")

I can think of only one explanation of this curious phenomenon, and that is the
combination of strong local pressure and malleable computing groups that yielded
only too easily to those pressures. Let us deal with the malleability first and with the
pressures later.

The malleability is understandable when we realize that at the beginning the
computing community was very uncertain as to what its topic was really about and got
in this respect very little guidance from the confused and confusing world by which it
was surrounded.

The Fathers of the field had been pretty confusing: John von Neumann speculated
about computers and the human brain in analogies sufficiently wild to be worthy of a
medieval thinker and Alan M. Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of
whether Machines Can Think, a question of which we now know that it is about as
relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

A futher confusion came from the circumstance that numerical mathematics was at the
time about the only scientific discipline more or less ready to use the new equipment.
As a result, in their capacity as number crunchers, computers were primarily viewed as
tools for the numerical mathematician, and we needed a man with the vision of Stanley
Gill to enunciate that numerical analysis was for the computing scientist like toilet
paper for the sanitary engineer: indispensable when he needs it.
