Cisco beri engineer 27 tahun unlimited AI tokens untuk rewrite 98% legacy code

By
Presiden Cisco, Jeetu Patel, memberi seorang engineer berusia 27 tahun sesuatu yang jarang didapat staf senior: unlimited AI tokens dan mandat me-refactor 98% legacy code perusahaan dalam 24 bulan. Pesannya singkat, 'go nuts.' Engineer itu, Padmanabhan 'Paddy' Krishnamurthy, masuk Cisco pada 2025 saat perusahaan mengakuisisi startup terjemahan real-time miliknya, EzDubs. Sebelumnya ia terkubur lima level di bawah Patel, mengerjakan hal yang menurut Patel tidak strategis. Usul Paddy sederhana: tim dua orang bisa menuntaskan rewrite ini dengan AI tools dan memory-safe languages. Patel memberinya empat minggu untuk membuktikannya. Satu refactor awal sudah memangkas 500.000 baris kode menjadi 120.000 hanya dalam dua minggu. Pemangkasannya drastis, walau jumlah baris saja belum membuktikan kode baru berperilaku sama di beban production. Ini bagian dari taruhan yang lebih besar. Cisco ingin 32.000 engineer pindah ke pengembangan AI-centric, dengan 70% produknya AI-generated...

X1 beats 0-60mph/3sec and 170mpg car combined

Wrightspeed X1 - EV Power and Efficiency
by Megawatt Motorworks
(1/27/2006)
(courtesy grumpy-c-bear.org)One thousand one... one thousand two... one thousand three... that's how quick this electric car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph. Before you finish this sentence the car has topped 100 mph!

Ian Wright sees a market for electric vehicles that outperform petrol cars. The X1 was built to prove his theory as he works to attract funding for his startup company, Wrightspeed Inc.

Ian's banking on the fact that power and efficiency are the hallmarks of today's electric vehicles. It's unlikely that any gas car can trump the X1, which sips just 200 Whr of electricy per mile-- or the gas equivalent of 170 miles per gallon. In other words, try to find any gas car that gets 170-mpg and still accelerates with the same gusto!

How does this acceleration compare to other cars? Will Nordby of KRON news in San Francisco reported, "Wright competed in a race with $170,000 Ferrari and a $400,000 Porsche. Wright's X-1 cost $150,000 and beat the other two, reaching 112 mph in just 11.1 seconds." Darell Dickey has archived the race video at the PluginAmerica website.

Ian posted a correction to the news story his site: "Just a little correction to the news story: the X1 has a top speed of 112mph, reached well before the 1/4 mile mark. Estimated 0-100 time is around 7 seconds, and the 1/4 mile time recorded on a damp dragstrip was 11.95 seconds."

The car is based on the Ariel Atom chassis and uses Lithium-Ion batteries and an AC Propulsion drive system. It has a reported range of 120 miles.

The last we heard, Ian was planning to display his X1 prototype at to the CleanTech Investor Conference in Palm Springs, Feb 1-2.
