Hopefully this makes things easier and simpler for users? Not being a Linux application developer or maintainer, I always wondered why we needed snaps, flatpaks, etc when we have .deb packages. I just like doing 'apt install something&

When we went from typewriters to computers you still needed a human to type something. Typing is just the output of thinking. Now we are trying to build thinking machines.

I don't know what you see, but what I see is that we are not interested in competing with China. I don't listen to CEOs or politicians. I just look at where real developers and engineers spend their time and where investment is go

It wasn't much of a fight. We're not oriented towards this type of research and this type of tech. When it comes to software and chip design, we're ok. When it comes to the physical world, we're far behind and we're

Looks like you were a bit too early. One thing I've learned is that tech like this always takes longer than people realize. And when I say "like this" I mean something that doesn't fit the contemporary supply chain mold,

Yes but like almost everything it comes down to cost. Most consumer devices are extremely cost constrained. Industrial robots can justify higher costs that come with higher reliability.

Claude Code is very impressive. It almost feels like another programmer sitting there with you in your terminal. It's not perfect and usually needs help understanding what you're trying to do but once all the pieces are in place a

Maybe not directly, but we are responsible for who we elect and we are responsible for the foreign policy of our government.

That's a shame because the the Haiku code base is relatively easy to get into. It's not overly complicated, it's consistent, it doesn't have layers of different styles from different eras and origins, and so on. It'

It's simply not cost effective to manufacture advanced semiconductors at scale in the USA. No company, not Intel, not TI, not GlobalFoundries not even TSMC is clever enough to overcome this. Now, if there are other reasons to do this l

People still play chess competitively. Even though, as I understand it, SOTA chess machines can easily defeat the best ever human player.

Luckily this only happened to me once. I left. There were also some other things going on that made the decision easier. Had I felt more secure in my career I wouldn’t have needed those reasons. I was much happier at the next place. If you

You're right. I should have said "can ever". Both in terms of permitted to and in terms of have the capacity to. And I'm only referring to current machine learning architectures.

One vague definition I see tossed around a lot "something can replace almost any human knowledge/white collar worker". What does that mean in concrete terms? I'm not sure. Many of these models can already pass bar exams

This is where the industry is going. More software, somehow less sense. All that's left now is mandatory cloud connectivity and poof: Car As A Service (Caas). Make sure your account is up-to-date or you'll be locked out of 2nd gea

I thought the only AI hardware that was useful for real work were monster GPUs you didn't have on your desk or typically even own, you buy time for in the cloud in an as-needed basis. The article is a little vague about what exactly th

A lot of AI tools for software development seem oriented toward web applications. There are other types of software out there that are also desperate for machine learning assistance.

Learning architectures come in all shapes, sizes, and forms. This could mean there are fundamental principles of cognition driving all of them, just implemented in different ways. If that's true, one would do well to first understand t
