And here we go. Back to Germany.

I find it quite funny that the ticket for my baby girl (who doesn't have a seat) says INF for seat. I wonder if this is a @kevlin 😊

Also: it's great that people with babies and small kids are allowed to board first. This is still new for me :)

@herndlm IIRC, 'INF' is for 'Infant' rather than 'Infinity'... although, with children, that is also a reasonable classification 🙃

WordFriday: echthesia

A state of confusion when your own internal sense of time doesn't seem to match that of the calendar — knowing that something just happened though it apparently took place seven years ago, or that somehow you built up a decade of memories in the span of only a year and a half.

Code generated from LLMs is going to need more testing than code written by developers. This seems self-evident to me, but I suspect a lot of people are going to learn it (or ignore it) the hard way.

Given that most existing codebases are not well tested, and most developers don't test, this does not bode well.

The practical consequence of using LLMs to generate code is that many developers will find they have unwittingly moved themselves into a role they were probably trying to avoid: they have automated the creation of legacy code and have redefined their job role as debugging and fixing such code.

As the term 'intelligence' is used in 'artificial intelligence', it is perhaps worth asking, what kind of intelligence do AI systems represent? Confident and detail focused, but naïve, easily misled and lacking in common sense, worldliness, situational awareness, fairness, imagination, empathy, emotional intelligence and social intelligence 🤔
