Prompt: Answer without searching the internet: Woah! Must it discard all pre-training as well? It already slurped "the internet". You can't seriously say it doesn't count!

TL;DR: 1. Not today. November 2025. They don't make it clear. 1.1. One would expect that to be put in the title, when the article is written almost a year after that. 1.2. No, the article doesn't state that in the first paragraph.

Wouldn't think I'd be cheering Antrophic decision, but this is excellent. They probably were thinking about how that serves them as an ad, not about transparency, but still. I say they should go one step further and somehow make i

Versions are different during the upgrade. That's how upgrade is done. You spin up replica, upgrade it to the target engine version, ensure it's up to date and switch over. [1] [1] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Amaz

That's kinda fun (not in a fun way). Since the update is done semi-automatically by the means of AWS RDS, does AWS takes any responsibility for that? Unless this use case is warned against in migration notes, I would think they ought t

If you applying NOT NULL constraint, why not extract it from json altogether as a separate column? What's the use of it in json? You may construct it back on retrieval, if you need it in results.

LLM users don't want to put in effort, so they offload tasks to LLM. LLM doesn't seem to be keen to put in effort either! Is this AGI?

I understand why it's appealing for techies, but I feel like talks about importance of OGAS are very much blown out of proportion. Not that the project didn't have merit on itself (we're talking about proto-internet, basicall

It is difficult, this is why it required a whole institution. And not just an institution, but with proper mandate as well. It also can be necessary. In fact, Fred Brooks in The Mythical Man-Month, specifically in chapters 3 "The Surgi

The efforts to sabotage and disband central planning started as early as 1954. In 1954 an executive order of 14 Oct 1954 reduced the amount of administrative personnel by 450 thousands. The amount of metrics went down from 9 940 to 6 308 in

I think there are some, who couldn't be a part of the public conversation, precisely because of they inability to add anything to said conversation. LLMs enables them to post (or, rather, paste) something, in an attempt to trick others

On one side, you have pieces like this, where seemingly there are constant fights between serious actors with large and properly distributed budgets, employing top tech and top minds; on the other - regular news of the hackz, where responsi

I think the impression, that "AI" would make it easier is not only far-fetched, but utterly misguided. So far it hasn't made anything easier (support call lines are the proof of that). I understand the picture of that outcome

Why use "AI" then? Everything can be handled by playing a message and reading a response with far superior, refined, cheaper and privacy-respecting technology than voice recognition - pushing a button.

Reasonable would be to play a message "We know about the accident on Elm Street, we're already dispatched a team, if you're calling about that, you may hang up". No need to waste people's time with an "AI agent
