Nvidia Seeks to Make Humanoid AI Robots Safer Around Humans (3 minute read)

Nvidia has created a lab where robot makers and customers can run safety tests before going to regulators to receive the necessary certifications. Engineers at the lab can help with pre-inspection work and engineering tweaks as needed. Robot safety design is much more complicated than safety design for autonomous vehicles, which generally just involves avoiding contact with people and other objects. Robots need to be able to know what things they can or can't touch, move, or exert force on.

The Optimal Amount of Slop is Non-zero (19 minute read)

Software requires different levels of verification depending on its use case. Casual software has limited distribution and loose quality constraints. Business software needs to work, or organizations suffer losses. Acute software is mission-critical and merits the highest levels of scrutiny. The amount of permissible AI-slop decreases as the risks of the software failing increase.

You should use AI for reviewing code especially when the diff is huge (2 minute read)

It's a mistake to use AI to nitpick a few lines of code here and there. LLMs now catch high-severity vulnerabilities, so individual line reviews aren't needed. A human code reviewer's role is now to transfer knowledge to the AI that it doesn't know. This workflow is best in places where each line of code isn't sacred.
