  • Than humans and even expert humans. For specific, narrow tasks super human behavior has long been achieved in many classification tasks. Like tumor detection in XRays for example.

    ATC jobs are extremely stressful and complex and they have surprisingly little digital support systems. A digital system could for instance easily suggest an optimal route through the airspace based on the aircraft’s capabilities and data and other airplanes in the air space before the pilots even checked in with the ATC. Today ATCs still have to request and suggest course changes via radio even though both them and pilots are sitting in front of computers.




  • I read a retrospective from another team yesterday. They were preparing a demo for leadership and apparently it didn’t go so well. There were many reasons like last minute changes in requirements but one line was interesting for this discussion: The use of the LLM agents caused confusion about who is fixing which bug and taking on which tasks. The agents act like they’re alone in the codebase and keep adding and changing code broadly whenever they see an opportunity for improvement. And that often without specifically being prompted to do so. Now if you have multiple team members collaborating on a project with each their agents, chaos ensues because the agents are not coordinating and the diffs/commits become insane and the team doesn’t fully understand them.

    This actually results in a necessity to test more and longer because nobody knows which bugs have really been fixed now and rapidly preparing for a release or a demo becomes more difficult than before.

    In my opinion an LLM can be very useful to rapidly prototype something. Especially with an API or language you’re not familiar with. But for Production it’s still a huge risk to push code you don’t understand.










  • … or most other places. Nobody ever wanted to even see my phone.

    Most questions I’ve been asked ever was the few times I went to the US in the past.

    The US immigration officers want to know who picks you up, what you do, ask details about your work, random shit. I had to explain to one details about a wedding I was going to attend. Another wanted to know details about the VR devices I worked with.

    Other countries at most ask profession, duration of stay and address in the country. I’ve been to countless countries on every continent except Antarctica. Your mileage may vary of course because discrimination against certain passport holders is real.
