   "right now" yt-dlp frequently breaks, and is impressively usually fixed pretty quick, because Google is actively shutting of ways to access their content without telemetry, tracking or ads. It's a cat and mouse game and if yo

   I have and it is. But I did acknowledge that in the previous post. I just don't think software development tools like Claude Code, while great, and I wouldn't want to back to life without them, are going to recoup all this investm

   Yes, but I haven't seen anything from AI technology to suggest it's going to live up to the hype in the short term. I'm not saying Burry is completely accurate in this case, but the draw down could be quite big. GPT-4 was rel

   If this is even legit, they're saying 3 years. So probably 5 years.

   Linux gave up the fight against complexity a couple of decades ago.

   I think might even be simpler than that. It's about the cost. Nobody is going to pay for AI to replace humans if it costs more. All of us in this sub-thread consider ourselves "AGI", but we cannot do any job. In theory we can

    I think their definition of AGI is just about how many human jobs can be replaced with their compute. No scientific or algorithmic breakthroughs needed, just spending and scaling dumb LLMs on massive compute.

    Remember when AI was supposed to give us all this great stuff? Most of the real use seems to be surveillance, spam, ads, tracking, slop, crawlers, hype, dubious financial deals and sucking energy. Oh yeah, and your kid can cheat on their bo

    I think a lot of this is all backwards. People think AGI is taking something dumb, like an LLM, and sticking on learning, like a software upgrade. I think it's the other way around: you build a system that first and foremost _learns_ a

    Are consumer grade cards really reliable though? Not so much against physical damage, but of data integrity over extended periods? "Industrial" SD cards can be 10 times or 100 times more expensive than consumer grade cards.

    I'm American and I applied to a software dev role at a European tech company some years ago. The job looked interesting and I thought it would be a fun adventure living abroad. I was shocked how low their salary range was. Even if I go

    Have you tried Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, etc?

    by chrsw 1y ago

    I mostly use Gemini for everyday Q/A and research type stuff. I find it's pretty accurate and gets straight to the point. I mostly use Claude and very recently Codex for systems software dev. I'm very interested to see what c

    I wonder if we're moving to one huge general model looking at a problem and JIT synthesizing a TRM to solve it. Maybe keeping a cache of recently used TRMs for efficiency.

    The whole point of YouTube (now) is it’s a market for human attention and behavior. Eyeballs, engagements, tracking and analytics. They will go to great lengths to protect and increase the value of this market.

    I see a big issue with these tools and services we call "AI". On one hand you hear things like "AI is as smart as college student", "AI won a math competition", "AI will replace white collar workers".

    Can we trust this though? “Cooperate with us and we’ll leak fake stories about how frustrated we are with you as cover”. And I’m not singling out Anthropic. None of these companies or governments (i.e. people) can be trusted at face value.

    Yeah the first two sentences were a dead giveaway this response was from AI. I'm not mad about it, just pointing out in this case it was obvious. I'm assuming with the right prompting you can make AI generate much more human plaus

    I guess it's the type of things I use the machines for. I do a lot of embedded software development and some gaming on Windows so not having USB-A is a showstopper. On my Mac I don't do those sorts of things. Would I buy a Mac wit

    I’m willing to live with not having a USB-A port on a Mac. Not so much on a PC. I have a Razer Blade. One USB-A and one USB-C on each side of the machine. It just makes so much sense.
