I mean, there are credible safety issues here. A Kimi fine-tune will absolutely be able to help people do cybersecurity related attacks - very good ones.
In a few years, or less, biological attacks and other sorts of attacks will be plausible with the help of these agents.
Having AI generate tests is technical debt unless what you're doing is extremely trivial and well-trodden in which case you can basically gen all of the code and not care at all.
Tests are where the moat still exists because prior to creating tests the outcomes are unverifiable.
As somewhat of an AI-agnostic, I disagree. Writing tests is one of the things I find most useful about copilot. Of course you need to review them first correctness, but (especially for unit tests) it’s pretty good and getting it right first-time.
True but it was much cheaper when a computer you might have on for other reasons wouldn't consume noticeably more power for your donation, eg computer lab admins which I think made up some of the top contenders of the leader boards. There were definitely groups that would run clusters of computers just for the donation (my dad was one of those too, there was no other reason to run those PCs other than Seti@Home) but for the average home user it was spare cycles that were low cost to free.
I am here to inform you that people were doing this for a variety of reasons, and one of those absolutely was because the cycles were free and going to waste.
They are hugely popular in the US because there are more of them for sale and they have a lot of momentum from Toyota getting lost in the Hydrogen distraction.
From the perspective of a BEV with a modern range, hybrids have terrible all-electric range (if they even have true electric range) and worse maintenance schedules/cost of ownership. That's the compromise: less weight for good batteries for pure electric range and higher cost of ownership for high weight moving parts that you don't need in trips below electric range.
>and worse maintenance schedules/cost of ownership
Sorry, but this is simply incorrect. The Toyota Prius has the most reliable powertrain on the American market in most studies. This is the decades old Toyota hybrid planetary gearset engine and eCVT. It has less moving wear parts than an ICE engine, a generous warranty, absorbs brake wear, etc. It's pretty umambigious at this point, so I'm not sure where you're sourcing your facts from (vibes?).
Given this fact wasn't understood, there isn't much more content to engage with. Modern hybrids are popular because they're very good and side-step all of the myriad problems with electric vehicles.
More reliable than the average ICE, statistically, I will grant you. Though I think that has more to do with Toyota dominating US auto manufacturing reliability statistics in general, more than particulars of hybrids over ICE. The comparison, however, was to a full ("uncompromised") BEV. A full BEV has much fewer moving parts than ICE or Hybrid. (Especially because good electric motors don't even constitute "moving parts" when compared to an internal combustion engine, thanks to magnets.)
