   Being anti "AI" has nothing to do with being progressive. Historically, hackers have always rejected bloated tools, especially those that are not under their control and that spy on them and build dossiers like ChatGPT. Hackers ha

   Is that why open source progress has generally slowed down since 2023? We keep hearing these promises, and reality shows the opposite.

   Feeling glad that one is insulated from the knowledgeable users that have trained the "AI" that stole their IP is just strange. "AI" is also larger than plagiarizing Stackoverflow. Google AI answers on any topic, which m

   The increasingly rough tone against "AI" critics in the comments and the preposterous talking points ("you are not a senior developer if you do not get value from 'AI'") is an indication that the bubble will bu

   We were told that "everyone needs to learn how to code", to the thunderous applause of all corporate stooges. It is hard to tell what is really going on. No company will admit that they are firing, e.g., DEI hires from 2023. I hav

   There are lots of proposals. Recently, he retweeted a pundit who said that murderers should be hanged and that Europe achieved its level of civilization by executing 1-2% of its population for eugenic purposes: https://xcancel.co

    What "AI"? The current search situation is: - The forced "AI" summary is wrong. - If you click on "Google AI", it gives a new summary that contradicts the initial one. - If you check Wikipedia or the top real s

    The underlying paper is from AE Studio people ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.24797 ), who want to dress up their "AI" product with philosophical language, similar to the manner in which Alex Karp dresses up data

    Proper code review takes as long as writing the damn thing in the first place and is infinitely more boring. And you still miss things that would have been obvious while writing. In this special case, you'd have to reverse engineer the

    The whole blog post does not mention the word "grammar". As presented, it is examples based and the LLM spit out its plagiarized code and beat it into shape until the examples passed. We do not know whether the implied grammar is

    There is no end result. It's a toy language based on a couple of examples without a grammar where apparently the LLM used its standard (plagiarized) parser/lexer code and reiterated until the examples passed. Automating one of the

    There is no super smart "AI". An "AI" gives formulaic responses that always follow the same pattern, makes an incredible number of mistakes and claims different things all the time. The researchers themselves were surpri

    So, Trainium is an architecture that requires brute force to write software for. Maybe if we invest $100 trillion in data centers, we can rewrite the Linux Kernel in Malbolge.

    If you want to steal code, you can take it from GitHub and strip the license. That is what the Markov chains ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02724 ) do. It's a code laundering machine. Software engineering has a higher

    Grok used to be able to handle the realistic inputs, which are just shorthand for the posh versions. In version 4.1 they clipped its wings and now it is a boring status-quo model where you could as well just watch CNN or CBS. I bet months b

    The first comment on the website says that $120K is a lie. Then of course, why would you specialize in the F150 if they add new electronic BS every 2 years, the car will perhaps be obsolete in 7 years or all tariffs on BYD are lifted in 8 y

    Ah no, the comment wasn't directed against the chess streamers! It was directed against the advertisers that choose that medium. To take an extreme example, it would be weird to advertise Rolex on Twitch next to computer games. So, if

    It is more stiff, woke (what Musk would call it) and uppity. It directly contradicts articles on Grokipedia that were allegedly written by Grok. Basically another disappointment that shows that LLMs give different information depending on t

    The desperation in the industry is palpable. Now chess streamers who also advertise Labubus and computer games are advertising coding apps. Basically scraping the bottom of the barrel if you need to advertise on Twitch.
