TIL that https://bird.makeup also has Instagram and Hacker News support! I really want the insta bridge so I can ditch the insta algo and have my usual cross app lists like I do with Matrix chats.
"LLMs allow dead (or non-verbal) people to speak" - spiritualism/channelling
"what happens when the AI turns us all into paperclips?" - end times prophecy
"AI will be able to magically predict everything" - astrology/tarot cards
"...what if you're wrong? The AI will punish you for lacking faith in Bayesian stats" - Pascal's wager
"It'll fix climate change!" - stewardship theology
Turns out studying religion comes in handy for understanding supposedly 'rationalist' ideas about AI.
I think many people misunderstand the purpose of code review. The purpose of code review is not for the reviewer to find bugs, and certainly not for them to ensure that the code is bug-free. Anyone who depends on code review to find bugs is living in a fool's paradise. As everyone should know by now, it is not in general possible to find bugs by examining the code.
The primary purpose of code review is to find code that will be _hard to maintain_. The reviewer looks at the code and tries to understand what it is doing and how. If they can't, that means it will be hard to maintain in the future, and should be fixed now, while the original author is still familiar with it.
