Local quality is very bad
iab··on Vibe Coding Is Not an Advantage
Another position that largely misses the point I think. There is no absolute positioning on this - LLM assistants are applicable at most stages, whether you need to maximize your own judiciousness or maximize velocity depends on the current problem, and you.
iab··on Is "MIT Software License but No AI" Possible?
Open source (classical) & use-restriction is kinda at-odds, so it doesn't really make sense. That's not to say people don't do it - you can restrict the software however you want, it's just not open source (maybe look at some equivalent of Ethical Source?)
iab··on There's a '10% to 20% chance' that AI will displace humans completely

iab··on The Shape of a Mars Mission
I think this shows a fundamental, widespread misunderstanding of space flight in general:

Aerospace does not work like this. Hardware does not evolve until launch, it is frozen in time to allow for testing and flight qualification for subsystems, and systems as a whole.

iab··on The Shape of a Mars Mission
Which flight-qualified life support systems have this reliability? This is a hope, not a fact.

iab··on Why is Git Autocorrect too fast for Formula One drivers?
I think that is something that arose from happenstance, not thoughtful intent - this is true because of how confusing the end result is.
iab··on Why is Git Autocorrect too fast for Formula One drivers?
