I need the inverse of that - an app that predicts how badly a given street will be baked by the sun at current or near-future time, will there be any shadow zone from the buildings, how far will the usable extent of it reach (e.g. not much

Maybe this have changed over the years, and I rarely if ever used these combinations to switch to TTY except for emergency (OOM, or window manager breakage), but on every Linux system I ever used, graphical mode was on (Ctrl+Alt+)F7.

I built my whole career on focusing on the wrong thing. In fact, focusing on the right thing makes me slow down, struggle, and get bogged down with frustration. I still learn 10+x faster when focusing on the wrong thing, and after two decad

People talk like "status quo" was inherently a bad thing, and that any change to it is good by default. On the contrary, "status quo" is usually a hard-won place, a foothold against strong tides, a position that you try

Counter-counter-argument: for LLMs, tokens are units of thinking. And token use is, on the margin, directly proportional to costs of inference. So while the details of the harness, and how you prompt the model, and nature of the code and do

What do you think they do all day? The larger pattern is not unique to writing code. Think of it next time a reorg comes, or some random thing gets "improved" in the name of "efficiency" only management seems to see.

Depends on what you're optimizing for. I'd hope that "after the subsidy ends", the "cheaper/local providers" will be at the level of at least current SOTA models. If not, then there's hardly a point u

Or, you could fit the exactly opposite story to the same data: Growth is when you want to have institutional support, to be at the tip, backed by infinite money and best compute infra, and benefit disproportionally from compounding. Convers

At least in this case we're talking about someone doing something useful and providing tons of value to the field, not about people being praised for starting a company and raising money.

And Claude can actually tackle it the same way as humans do - here in the real world, where we don't have time to let some nonsense like "mathematically proven to be unsolvable" to stand between us and our goals: it can eyeb

IDK, but I have three or four vibe-coded 0.1%-Photoshops already - small utility apps, all self-contained, client-side, static, zero build-step browser tools, each of them solving a very particular problem for me. Things like, drop an image

Most people also understand that, because they're not "frequent" users of a thing, they absolutely suck at using it, and set their expectations accordingly. In particular, they realize that doing anything non-trivial with the

What disposability? Kerbals were never disposable! If you crash your little green astronauts on some moon or planet, you're supposed to send a rescue mission after them. And should that rescue fail too, stranding more Kerbals, you just

It's novel if you never played with img2img, including especially several forms of (text+img)2img. Or, if you never tried editing images by text prompt in recent multimodal LLMs. That said, I spent plenty of time doing both, and yet it

Doesn't change the argument. As long as the models are open, the big cloud providers have strict advantage, because even if some open model gets ahead, they can just serve it from their infra, and do it better than everyone else. This

From technical POV that's true, but that was still a niche area at the time, mostly ignored in the broader tech community. So wrt. the broader tech world discussing harnesses, I'd still use November 2022 as the reference point.

I'm not saying we need to overload phasing, but rather to not treat the trifecta like a regular security vulnerability. As defined originally, the trifecta is analogous to phishing, but of course it's only a small subset of the is

That makes no sense, though, and reeks of extrapolating a trend way beyond the conditions in which it is valid. The simple truth is, cloud models are always going to be strictly superior to open ones, simply because cloud model vendors can

There were no LLMs between 2018 and 2022, at least not in the sense resembling today. The whole LLM frenzy started in late 2022.

I'd say the core is that the harness/runtime/${whatever you call it} doesn't just unconditionally sends model output to the user, and user input to the model, +/- some post-processing, but instead runs a loop that f
