Look Out for Bugs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-10 00:59:45

Look Out For Bugs One of my biggest mid-career shifts in how I write code was internalizing the idea from this post: Don’t Write Bugs Historically, I approached coding with an iteration-focused mindset — you write a draft version of a program, you set up some kind of a test to verify that it does what you want it to do, and then you just quickly iterate on your draft until the result passes all the checks. This was a great approach when I was only learning to code, as it allowed me to iterate

A Puzzle Before Tomorrow: Decoding Apple's 'Awe Dropping' iPhone 17 Event Announcement

Listen, I'm just as eager to learn the details of what Apple will release at its fall event tomorrow, from new members of the iPhone 17 family to updated Apple Watch models. But right now what I really want are answers about just what Apple's "Awe dropping" invitation means, with its fiery logo and punny slogan. Sometimes the company's invites are clever but clear, yet this one has me stumped. Why does Apple tease its events like this? Obviously, one reason is to encourage articles like the one

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. I opened TikTok while visiting Germany last week and stumbled across a Vodafone ad being presented by a woman who probably doesn’t exist. The ad includes several “tells” that suggest the presenter was artificially created using generative AI — the unnatural style and movement of her hair, the way her moles disappear, and the uncanny valley vibe of her facial expressions — and Vodafone confirmed my suspicions

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads The death rate per mile driven has declined 22-fold since 1950. A century ago, these were the cars on Britain’s roads. Forget driving lessons or tests; to get behind the wheel legally, all you needed was a paper license, which cost the equivalent of around 25 pence today. Cars had no seatbelts and, of course, no airbags. There were no mirrors to let you see traffic behind. There were no flashing indicators, so your signal to turn left or right

Experts Concerned AI Is Going to Start a Nuclear War

AI is starting to make experts on nuclear deterrence very nervous. Specifically, they say that a widespread push to integrate AI into virtually every level of military decision-making is creating a "slippery slope" in which AI will either be given the power to launch nuclear weapons itself, or the humans with that power will become so reliant on its guidance that they'll do so if it tells them to. Worst of all, they say, is that this is still happening while we still don't quite understand how

Are bad incentives to blame for AI hallucinations?

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate, and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated.
