The real question should be why anyone would voluntarily continue to spend money on a software service that costs as much as an expensive computer when they could just buy an (upgradeable) expensive computer and use it as much as they want,

Don’t forget “computers that can do everything but run scary unregulated LLMs”

you seem to be discounting or unaware of the possibility of a) automating a significant chunk of new buildouts, and b) domestic companies seeking a slice of the “sell open model hosting for less than competitors” pie. I truly believe the co

Blatant propaganda is not an effective remedy to the severe public anti-AI sentiment, sorry.

Yeah, I noticed this with the caveman repo, too. Really annoying.

There is this overwhelming desire on the part of many people to ascribe agency to LLMs when what the LLM really is is simply not a magic world model but a stochastic text generator. For some reason that truth haunts them and they have a de

Let’s use the obvious example of a paint program. Clearly continuous 2D pointer input is an essential feature that would be almost impossible to replicate with only a keyboard. To step back a few levels, a node graph editor with many elem

In the future (ha ha ha) when everyone has become totally LLM dependent a service outage will cause all of them to stop walking and talking and otherwise functioning and their heads will simply droop down while they stand or sit silently in

Actually it is eminently obvious when the writer is a machine and it’s quite disingenuous to pretend otherwise (or, generously, possibly witless).

I really think this shit is the direct result of a training strategy that is meant to maximize token spend.

Why not return a WrittenBuffer<'a>? This can also be used to specify the methodset allowed or required plus any further type transitions out of WrittenBuffer, for example into a new CompressedBuffer, or similar patterns.

There is no cost imposed by wrapping a type in a struct to enforce a dependency.

I think my point is that types and “typestate” do not need to be two separate things. For example, in the Lua API for C, one obviously requires a Lua context handle in order to perform any other operations, so the handle must be obtained f

I pray there will be a light at the end of the tunnel soon, but I doubt it is possible without major political change.

That sounds like a Wrapper<Func1Payload>, not a Ticket<Func1Call> that will become an extra parameter of Func2 whose only purpose is to prove to Func2 that you called Func1. Maybe I misunderstood something.
21.
by binary132 27d ago
why not just create a wrapper type for the payload that is returned by func1 and func2 takes it as a parameter?

Yes and no. The big advantage of a GUI is having interactive 2D coordinate input support (aka a pointer, or gestures.) While I think a keyboard can be a great control surface, that’s one thing it really lacks and only GUIs really offer.

There is no moral imperative to help the world reach an optimum. Rather, the world is full of competing interests.

“I am actually the CEO of my basement office business” was not the corporate topology I was addressing with my comment.

You’re presuming here that CEOs cause companies to make profit instead of serving as a scapegoat for their often unavoidable market dynamics (at best).

The prevailing mentality seems to be that if we don’t win in the next three quarters it will be such a catastrophe that there won’t be a future at all.

In my experience xhigh very often produces better results on the first try to the extent that the less cogitation-enthused settings actually waste more in the long run.

It’s hard for me to understand why this was downvoted since it’s plainly a simple fact.
