  • @swelljoe If the LLM misunderstands that often when doing code review, then it could also misunderstand in the direction of letting legitimate bugs through, right?

    Sounds to me like we're lowering the bar on quality because business people, in response to what AI boosters are selling, are demanding that we pump out more and more, faster and faster.

    I mean, do what you have to do to hold onto your job, but I think I'll keep resisting as long as I can.

    @matt I didn't say it was often. It's just more often than finding real serious bugs. It's mostly things like, "it assumed I wanted to keep backward compatibility with an old API endpoint, even though there are no consumers of the old API and killing old code is actually a benefit".

    I'm not convinced it's writing more bugs than I would have written in the same amount of code or that my bugs are more likely to be caught in review. I don't write 100% test coverage for any of my projects...

    The Fediverse is part of how we get through all this. It's worth fighting for.

    @courtcan that recommendation just put it on my list. Thanks!

    Seriously debating putting on my crampons to take my bins out to the curb tonight. Bah, I'm Canadian. I'll just walk like a penguin.

    Taking Photos With Scotch Tape Instead Of A LensTypically, when we want to take images, we use an image sensor paired with some sort of lens assembly to make a picture that’s sharply in focus. However, [okooptics] is here to show us there’s another way—using Scotch tape in place of a typical lens element.If you just put Scotch tape over an image sensor without a lens, you’ll just get a blurry image, whatever you point it at. With the right algorithms, though, it’s possible to recover an image from that mess, using special “lensless imaging” techniques. In particular, [okooptics] shows how to recreate the so-called coded aperture techniques which were previously demonstrated in [Laura Waller]’s DiffuserCam paper.It’s complicated stuff, but the video does a great job of breaking down the optics into understandable chunks. Armed with a Raspberry Pi HQ camera covered in a small amount of Scotch and electrical tape, [okooptics] is able to reconstruct a viable image from what initially looks like a blurry mess of nothingness, with the aid of the right deconvolution maths. It’s all about understanding the point spread function of the tape versus a regular lens, and figuring out how to fight off noise when reconstructing the image.We’ve featured previous work from [okooptics] before, too, like this impressive demonstration of light transport and reconstruction.
