AI testing and AI quality requires unlearning some comfortable habits, then learning a new set of tools that are rarely handed to you in one clean list. copilots, agents, LLM-powered workflows, model-backed features, adaptive interfaces, RAG apps, generated code, and software whose behaviour depends on prompts, tools and non-deterministic outputs. when systems are non-deterministic, quality is not proven by one good run…quality is measured across samples, slices, traces, risks, failures, behaviour, user-experience, root-cause visibility and time.

In the old world, much of the work was aimed at making software behave exactly the same it behaved last time. That was the comfort…We built tests to make behavior idempotent, repeatable, and predictable. Pos 54 The arrival of LLMs has changed software engineering dramatically…Much software engineering work will eventually be done by AI. AI can generate code quickly. It can also generate buggy code quickly. It can produce plausible answers, plausible plans, and plausible explanations. The hard question is whether any of it is actually good. Pos 74 Testing becomes central again… as a discipline that decides whether AI-generated behaviour can be trusted. Pos 84 AI now touches almost every parting software and, increasingly, every part of human life. testing whether it works correctly, safely, fairly, securely, and usefully…can affect companies, institutions…

Mittlerweile gibt es im Land hunderte verschiedene Sekten und Strömungen…Entgegengesetzte Überzeugungen beriefen sich dabei auf verschiedene Adelsfamilien, Samurai und einfache Bürger, die Glaubenspraktiken für ihre Zwecke zuschnitten. Eine der bekanntesten Schulen ist Zen mit ihren wesentlichen Elementen zazen (Sitzmeditation) und Selbsthilfe.

Shinto - der Weg der Götter. Göttlichkeit ist laut Shinto in allen Aspekten der Natur zu finden. Die älteste Religion Japans besitzt weder Gründer noch eine Heilige Schrift. ihre Philosophie konzentriert sich auf ein Leben in Harmonie und gegenseitiger Rücksichtnahme.

Die Einführung des Buddhismus im 6. Jahrhundert spielte eine enorme Rolle in der Entwicklung von Japans Kunst und Ästhetik - von der Tempelarchitektur über Bildhauerei bis hin zur Lackkunst. Die buddhistische Philosophie und speziell die präzisen Rituale der Teezeremonie hatten großen Einfluss auf die Kunst des Blumenarrangierens, der Kalligrafie, der Keramik und der Landsschaftsarchitektur.

Japan besitzt das effizienteste öffentliche Verkehrsnetz der Welt…In Tokyo fahren täglich 20 Millionen Menschen mit Zügen…Was die Fahrt durch das tägliche Gedränge erleichtert, sind gute Zugmanieren. Wichtigste Regeln sind: keine lauten Unterhaltungen und den Rucksack oder das Gepäck vor sich stellen, um Platz für andere zu schaffen.

P.180 Consumer Culture is very good at making us want more, more, more… But more is not always better…When we are overloaded with opportunities and options, we suffer from what psychologists refer to as the paradox of choice. Basically, the more options we’re give , the less satisfied we become, because we are aware of all other options we are potentially forfeiting.

P.110 Victimhood Chic The responsibility/fault fallacy allows people to pass off the responsibility for solving their problems to others. This ability to alleviate responsibility through blame to others gives people a temporary high and a feeling of moral righteousness.

P.84 Staying positive. Lost your job? Great! That’s an opportunity to explore your passion. While there is something to be said for “staying on the sunny side of life”, the truth is, sometimes life sucks, and the healthiest thing you can do is admit it. Constant positivity is a form of avoidance, not a valid solution to life’s problems.

P.83 Always being right. Our brains are inefficient machines. We consistently make poor assumptions, misjudge probabilities, misremember facts…People who base their self-worth on being right about everything prevent themselves from learning from mistakes. They lack the ability to take on new perspectives and empathise with others.

P.82 Material success. Many people measure their self-worth based on how much money they make or what kind of car they drive… Research shows that once one is able to provide for basic physical needs (food, shelter, and so on) l, the correlation between happiness and worldly success quickly approaches zero.

P.81 There are handful of common values that create really poor problems for people. Pleasure is great, but it’s horrible value to prioritise your life around. Pleasure is a false good. Research shows that people who focus their energy on superficial pleasure end up more anxious, more emotionally unstable, and more depressed. Pleasure is not the cause of happiness;rather, it is the effect. If you get the other stuff right (the other values and metrics), then pleasure will naturally occur as by product.
