#446 – Ed Barnhart: Maya, Aztec, Inca, and Lost Civilizations of South America

Like you need to know the type to be able to verify that it's correct. And so maybe it should actually take you to a place that's like the definition of something and then take you back so that you have all the requisite knowledge to be able to accept the next completion.

#446 – Ed Barnhart: Maya, Aztec, Inca, and Lost Civilizations of South America

I am personally very excited for... making a lot of improvements in this area. We often talk about it as the verification problem, where these diffs are great for small edits. For large edits, or when it's multiple files or something, it's actually a little bit prohibitive to review these diffs. And so there are a couple of different ideas here.

One idea that we have is, okay, parts of the diffs are important. They have a lot of information. And then parts of the diff are just very low entropy. They're the same thing over and over again. And so maybe you can highlight the important pieces and then gray out the not so important pieces. Or maybe you can have a model that

looks at the diff and sees, oh, there's a likely bug here, I will mark this with a little red squiggly and say, you should probably review this part of the diff. And ideas in that vein, I think, are exciting.

Yeah, and you want an intelligent model to do it. Like currently, diff algorithms are, they're like... like they're just like normal algorithms. There is no intelligence. There's like intelligence that went into designing the algorithm, but then there's no, like, you don't care if it's about this thing or this thing, as you want a model to do this.

Just one idea there is I think ordering matters. Generally, when you review a PR, you have this list of files and you're reviewing them from top to bottom. But actually, you actually want to understand this part first, because that came logically first. And then you want to understand the next part. And you don't want to have to figure out that yourself.

You want a model to guide you through the thing.
