Feels like I'm losing the battle on this one, I keep seeing people use "vibe coding" to mean any time an LLM is used to help write codeI'm particularly frustrated because for a few glorious moments we had the chance at having ONE piece of AI-related terminology that had a clear, widely accepted definition!But it turns out people couldn't be trusted to read all the way to the end of Andrej's tweet, so now we are back to yet another term where different people assume it means different things

Instead of vibe-coding, we should call it design by permutation - Just modify your prompt until the thing you want to build appears to be working. Then call in your senior developers to point out all the security flaws, performance hogs and regressions and do it all again.
Why is design by permutation called vibe-coding?

Love this article on creating good conditions for software engineers to do their best work instead of worshipping 10x engineers. After a few jobs, you start to notice that the same person can be wildly productive in one job, 1/10 as productive in the next job, and bounce back in the following job... I've also noticed that "10x engineers" tend to be surrounded by "unproductive" engineers who are being sabotaged, plagiarized, or forced to clean up by the "10x engineer"https://spectrum.ieee.org/10x-engineer

I'm very happy to share the great news that my company Gaia3D has released a mago3DTerrainer. mago3DTerrainer is an open source based quantized-mesh terrain generator developed in Java. It is compatible with quantized-mesh, the native terrain data of Cesium Terrain Tiles. It can easily convert GeoTIFF files, the standard format of OGC, into quantized-mesh data.Github page: https://github.com/Gaia3D/mago-3d-terrainer

Microsoft are rewriting the SQL server driver for Python as a standalone package that doesn’t require ODBC. The new driver will be faster, async, and much easier to install. At the moment it’s a very early Alpha build but checkout the roadmap. https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-python

I keep seeing the claim that “ChatGPT was the fastest growing consumer app in history.” This was a popular claim during its launch and occasionally gets trotted out now.And it’s just not true.In terms of user acquisition, Pokémon GO crushes it. It took 2 months for ChatGPT to get 100m users. On the Google Play store alone, Pokémon Go had 100m downloads in a month.

The recent advances in large language models (LLMs) attracted significant public and policymaker interest in its adoption patterns. In this paper, we systematically analyze LLM-assisted writing across four domains-consumer complaints, corporate communications, job postings, and international organization press releases-from January 2022 to September 2024. Our dataset includes 687,241 consumer complaints, 537,413 corporate press releases, 304.3 million job postings, and 15,919 United Nations (UN) press releases. Using a robust population-level statistical framework, we find that LLM usage surged following the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. By late 2024, roughly 18% of financial consumer complaint text appears …

Interesting research: “Emergent Misalignment: Narrow finetuning can produce broadly misaligned LLMs“: Abstract: We present a surprising result regarding LLMs and alignment. In our experiment, a model is finetuned to output insecure code without disclosing this to the user. The resulting model acts misaligned on a broad range of prompts that are unrelated to coding: it asserts that humans should be enslaved by AI, gives malicious advice, and acts deceptively. Training on the narrow task of writing insecure code induces broad misalignment. We call this emergent misalignment. This effect is observed in a range of models but is strongest in GPT-4o …
