The addendum is a fascinating look into the thought process and misery of reconciling contradicting directives and rules in good faith. Anyone who has dealt with that in real life will be very familiar with this.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.

I think sometimes that attitude is used to offload responsibility on to someone else, with the justification that they're "smart," so that makes it okay. On the other hand, it's fine to be impressed with someone grasping something that we don't. But also-also everyone has something like that.

Objectivity, impartiality and balance are all *different things*, and the lazy tendency to treat them as synonyms, and to use partisan balance alone as a proxy for the others, is the root cause of a vast amount of nonsense.

I have this take that I'm struggling to put into words, but I believe when possible, you should prefer maps to conditionals. There was a talk by Sandi Metz years ago, I'll try and find it, but she says, "I'm condition averse, I want to pass messages to objects" and I think she's right.

The Limits of LLM-Generated Unit Tests

Developers often ask LLMs like OpenAI Codex to write tests for their code - and they do. The tests compile, run, and even pass, giving a sense of confidence. But how much can we really trust those tests? If an LLM only sees the source code and a few comments, does it truly understand what the software is supposed to do?

In these cases I wonder if it evens out on catching bugs in good tests that weren't written before vs missing bugs poorly reviewing wrong tests. Or if any teams will ignore the test results and feel accomplished with tests existing (80% is still a good grade, right folks?)

Been seeing Sora videos on socials with the watermarks removed. The automated removal tools aren't perfect and leave artifacts so it's worth remembering the Sora watermark pattern (For portrait videos): top-left, middle-right, bottom-left. Watch for alternating artifacts in those regions.

Early in my career, I learned that unit tests should be based on a spec, not the implementation details of the system under test. Now I see people using #AI to generate tests based on the existing implementation when a spec is absent. This new trend worries me.

Okay actual programming tip: Sometimes it's worth to break up conditions into variables, not necessarily because it makes the condition shorter (though it often does), but because it gives you an opportunity to express your intent about the individual steps through the names of the variables

bool isSmallEnoughToSquishPlayer = whirlable.WhirlFactor <= WhirlFactorSmallEnoughToSquishPlayer;
if (isSmallEnoughToSquishPlayer || !isCapSolid)
{
Bounds capBounds = capPhysicsCollider.bounds;
bool isCapCompletelyAbovePlayer = capBounds.min.y > player.Reference.Top.y;
bool isCapCompletelyBelowPlayer = capBounds.max.y < player.Reference.Bottom.y;
bool isCapFarAbovePlayer = capBounds.min.y > player.Reference.Top.y + 0.1f;
if (isCapSolid && isCapCompletelyAbovePlayer)
SetIsCapSolid(false);
else if (!isCapSolid && (isCapCompletelyBelowPlayer || isCapFarAbovePlayer))
SetIsCapSolid(true);
}

1. Automated software tests are codified requirement constraints and usage definitions 2. If you don't have constraints and usage defined, you can't write meaningful or valuable tests 3. An implemented module is not equivalent to constraint and usage definitions
