Devin will be supervised by human employees and will handle jobs that engineers often consider drudgery, like updating internal code to newer programing languages, he said.
Good luck to the workers having to debug that shit.
Goldman is the first major bank to use Devin, according to Cognition, which was founded in late 2023 by a trio of engineers and whose staff is reportedly stocked with champion coders.
Being good at Codeforces contests surely translates to any other domain. I expect the Cognition guys to fully deliver on their promises.
I wonder where Edsger Dijkstra would fall in this table.
I've just finished reading it. Please make it a full post.
Apparently they are going to ship their development kits sometime later this year. He still sounds confusing AF to me and my BS indicator is going off all the time. He also makes incorrect statements (around 9 minutes in) such as
Neural nets came from energy-based models
which makes 0 sense historically. According to Wikipedia, EBMs were first introduced in 2003.
Some quality sneers in Extropic's latest presentation about their thermodynamics hardware. My favorite part was the Founder's mission slide "e/acc maximizes the watts per civilization while Extropic maximizes intelligence per watt".
That's a crazy lineup. I love how you can just say eggman/egghead on awful systems and I think everyone will know the person in question.
Of course it's a React, Tailwind piece of shit hosted on Vercel.
Not even Ken Thompson wrote such high quality code in his prime.

Not a sneer in the classical sense. It seems that Extropic AI is about to finally ship something.
There is still no actual data about the hardware on their website...
