<p>To me, the weakest link of this whole chain (and a lot of automation chains) is the classifier. Something (probably a Claude model) decides which part is sent to a human reviewer.<p>How is it calibrated? Do you rank every file in the project by their criticality? Do you train a classifier? Do you base it on some heuristic like number of downstream files affected?</p>

<p>Same sentiment here.<p>I always wondered why so much of discussed politics centers around race and gender, but I think this is a good hypothesis.<p>"More generally, you can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any of the participants."</p>

<p>I think the more interesting result you provided is kind of buried in the article: after you re-word the question and put the negative consequences of pulling the lever, the models switch decision.<p>This has always been obvious to me, but I wish more people would understand this: uncalibrated decision models are basically worthless. The model clearly doesn't "understand" the semantics of the question since the result heavily depends on how you word it.<p>It is nothing new thought. Before that, a lot of people would ask LLM for confidence scores while classifying text (I even saw a paper from a team at Google).<p>So with that in mind, I really don't get the hype behind decision models. If you need to curate a dataset to build a classifier anyway, why not train it yourself and have an even faster model?</p>

<p>It really depends on your teeth layout.<p>If you are lucky enough to have very straight and packed teeth, there is very little room between your teeth for any food to be lodged in.
I used to never floss then one day I tried it and it took me 3 weeks of flossing before the wire came out clean and odorless.</p>

The only skill I use is /strategic-compact from everything claude code (ecc) because I like to read the summary before a manual compaction.</p>

<p>I don't see what is so hard to understand at all, it is mostly ecologically minded.<p>Human production and consumption (in a broad sense) is generating/leading to ecological catastrophes. Some people believe technology will solve the problem, some people believe the easier solution is to stop producing as much.<p>Unfortunately, that means letting go of some privileges and not everybody will agree on what to let go.</p>

<p>One way to mitigate hallucinations is to loop the question like in this paper: <a href="https://arxiv.org/html/2606.13814" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/html/2606.13814</a><p>It does not tell you if the answer is correct, just if it converges.
I think it will be a permanent problem in areas where answers do not have a an obvious definitive answer like coding and mathematics.</p>

<p>To me, burning out your employees just mean you are understaffed.<p>Some people are okay with working 50+ hours a week and that's fine, but you shouldn't expect it from anybody.<p>I refuse to do more than 10% of the time written on my contract on a regular basis. There is ample evidence that doing more is counter-productive anyway.<p>Forcing your employee to be overworked is form of short-sightedness. Sure, you get 60 hours of work from your employee for a few weeks, but soon their performance will diminish, leading to them needing to more time to catch up.<p>For the potential employees reading this ask yourselves: what is more efficient, an employee working 40 h at 90% mental capacity or an employee working 60 h at 50 % mental capacity ? (feel free to ask ChatGPT if you cannot do the math).</p>

<p>I have found the opposite to be true in conferences, but it might be different for maths than biology?<p>The worst presentations are always the one that assume that you know every experimental technique and every bit of knowledge. I always took the stance that the audience had at most a master's degree in the field and took care to explain everything, even briefly.</p>
