If you say the image models don't "see" you also have to say the text models don't "read": there's a meaningful case to be made for either claim but then you're left saying "they behave as if the

Because once you leave Python or JS the quality of LLM-produced code degrades catastrophically.

He's even clearer about it in the last episode of season 1, where he assembles all the inventions from the season and shows how they make the US nuclear triad.

Some are going to radically change their operations, but we have yet to actually see if the ROI on that comes through for them. It will be an interesting thing to watch.

I've thought the 3D-printing analogy is pretty apt for about a year now. It had a lot of promise at first but it never quite has the impact people thought it would. There are still 3D printers for sale, and people still prototype with

At the risk of naming an Eldritch horror, IIRC it was Cold Fusion that first adopted something like an MVC-in-querystring routing system in the late 90s or early 00s, and that eventually spread when FCGI caught on and users of other languag

The asymmetry is that lots of people want to use LLMs to produce things, and nobody wants to consume the things LLMs produce. The Nash equilibrium here is that the market has to find a way for the people producing things with LLMs to pay pe

It's going to be hilarious in a few years when people are still using LLMs but only via a controlled vocabulary and syntax that you have to learn. It's just like how everybody moved to NoSQL 15 years ago but immediately recreated

Maybe it could, but I don't want it on my phone, and I like the fact that I have at least some confidence that an app I install isn't that.

Apple doesn't want software that can write itself available on its app store. I don't want software that can write itself running on my device. So for once Apple's priorities and the consumer's align.

It's kind of funny that he wrote them at a period in history when robots were already being used to aim artillery at human beings.

I think the ultimate example is the fact that most routes are run by other companies than the branded carrier; capacity providers like Endeavour and SkyWest just borrow the name and livery of the major carrier they're operating for t

I once was involved with booking the actor Kal Penn for an event and his signature line was "Sent from your mom's house". I always loved that.

Huh. I always thought the point of "Sent from my iPhone" (or the earlier "Sent from my Blackberry") was that it indicated "I don't have access to my desktop and file server right now so don't expect me to

And at the time it was still an open question whether search engines or curated oracles like Yahoo would be what stuck in the long term.

Yes. When it came out it was amazing, and it forced the existing search engines to start parsing queries' intents rather than just searching for the words in them.

We do have a phi4 installation in the compartment though it's separately compartmented from the rest of the network. It seems pretty good at doing call graphs. It's slower than ctags but can pull more context with it.

I'm at a defense contractor so the whole scene is alien to me. I don't really even get the desire to produce code more quickly since for us client verification and approval is always the slow part. Producing software more quickly

I almost bought a lighthouse 25 years ago off of a GSA auction. I'm glad my bid lost because I didn't read the fine print carefully about how much the upkeep would cost.

I'm sorry but at some point the amount of cargo culting being done seemingly at every level of this technology makes it basically impossible to take any of this seriously.

There is no set of policies in the world that can overcome the incentives that are being set up for LLM hosting companies with this.
