wow, it's also not like their code was actually good (though this apply to most enterprise software). To hide a client behind closed source (it's also typescript, so even more baffling) is laughable behavior.

It's also funny because a bust require a 2 quarters time. AI cycle can be faster than that? My workflow is certainly not recognizable compared to past for every 6 months for the past 24 months. Maybe we are closed to singularity, or ma

Just pay for it, think of it like college tuition. Just far cheaper (if you are in USA) and probably more useful in terms of job prospects.

fails are beneficial to an economy. If there are no fails, you end up with Soviet Union. As long as there are more amount of success, then it should be net positive.

The decision is the right one. Scaling at any cost is the right way to go . You cannot find the efficiency if you haven't been experimenting at scale, this is true personally as well. If someone haven't been burning a few B token

Sub par is not the right word, the right word is feature creep. markdown have much less of that brilliance and thankfully I also needed none of it. Last time I authored a word document is probably 2 years ago for a government interaction.

Demand of tokens is absolutely skyrocketing. And unlike the traditional "this will replace humans right away", I think what this introduce is a lot of incentive to spread those token in places where there was never any incentive t

I'm not talking about LLM, of course they save time. I'm talking about adding code to a code base. After a certain size, it's mostly garbage. I subscribe to the old unix principle and I have yet to seen a reason how LLM has c

Of course it is generally available, but I can use it to get 50x gain whereas for others it maybe 3x or even negative.

The biggest differentiating factor today is engineers and/or decision maker willing to say no to a certain feature or implementation. It's too easy to add bloat and complexity that can never go away, and with the tooling we now ha

IC here enamored with LLM - my implementation speed used to be a bottleneck of what I can do both professionally and personally, and now only thoughts and idea are the limit. That is incredibly exciting . Thoughts and idea as in "I wi

Why didn't codeberg make this FOSS tool though? Seems natural they should.

Or by trillions - the peer review process will no doubt continue, its continued importance maybe in question.

For almost the last two centuries, we have grown accustomed to the fact that theory derive practical and useful results. This made academic system flourish including practices such as peer review, etc. But for the millenniums preceding that

Make me really want to build one for my son when he gets to that age. If I build it, I can control the full feature set and explain to him how it worked and he'll get the 'cool' factor too. With the raspberry pi I have lying

Outside of the merit of the idea itself, I thought I was going to look at a repository at least as complete as Linus when he released git after 3 weeks, especially with the tooling we had today. Slightly disappointed to see that it is a 470

"The user could have written the code themselves" Yes, sometimes this is true, but not always. Note, it's not one prompt (there aren't really "one prompt" any more, prompt engineering is such a 2023-2024 thing)

I found it useful to preface with * this section written by me typing on keyboard * * this section produced by AI * And usually both exist in document and lengthy communications. This gets what I wanted across with exactly my intention and

Difficult 40 years ago maybe. I can't imagine with the satellite image and compute we have it would be difficult at all to know the real_time +- 30min location of any carrier by maybe the top 5-10 states, even at night.

That is a given, similar to how no amount of implementation can fix a wrong product. Both statements are not very meaningful.

By sweat and tears, and unfortunately, AI can only help so much in those cases. You'll have to have a really concrete idea about what your product is and how it should work.

by Aperocky 7mo ago
The magic is testing. Having locally available testing and high throughput testing with high amount of test cases now unlocks more speed. The test cases themselves becomes the foci - the LLM usually can't get them right.

I had been able to get it into the classic AI loop once. It was about a problem with calculation around filling a topographical water basin with sedimentation where calculation is discrete (e.g. turn based) and that edge case where both wat

If doing evil things satirically with extremely poor result, does that become a positive outcome? I mean maybe you can pay, it can just use some 8B model to give you unsubstantiated crap.

The numbers on the front page is for sure a joke. Unless they already burned 20000% of their runway on tokens.

Those extremely efficient and beautifully implemented software runs in macOS, probably from the same source code. The only GUI I use on Mac is browser, so I never felt anything - maybe the only thing that I don't deal with on linux is
