Reads like a man who put off searching for a real relationship for too long, but also didn’t develop that part of himself to maintain one. Then a bunch of existentialism blaming anything but himself. Could be compounded by his location, for

Wishing you the best, hope it works out. Would love if Firefox became a bigger player in the browser market too.

I thought it was pretty obvious from context that “making no money” meant no money outside of Google giving them money to avoid an anti-trust. Which they could decide to rescind whenever they want or negotiate down. Which they probably woul

The CEO has a bunch of AI papers. Seems like a smart guy, but I don’t know why he’s using the Mozilla brand or platform to screw around with AI stuff. Maybe because Mozilla makes no money and they’re hoping to jump on the AI bandwagon? I do

Can someone breakdown to me how this makes any sort of economical sense? Spending billions and billions to have the 3rd best model while even the number 1 and 2 players already seem to struggle making a profit. What am I missing here? Not t

On your own projects, absolutely. At work you’re likely limited by Conway’s law or bureaucracy. So yes, you can expend large effort for no real material gain, or you can save that effort for your own projects.

Being the most effective slave means you’re still a slave. If you’re trading your time for a corporation you’d be smart to give the least amount of effort for the most amount of return. Sounds bad, but corporations are not your friend and w

They already tried that with GPT-4 and GPT-4.5 They were allegedly massive but the cost and returns were not worth it.

Also noticed this. Their intelligence is very jagged. I’ve had them produce some highly optimized code yet fail to follow basic code guidelines.

Hopefully the guillotines. Look up how much the authors and artists who create the actual work get paid.

Why not just write the interfaces yourself and let the AI do the implementation at that point?

Care to explain why making a sunflower a different color is harmful? Why respond to things with the least charitable interpretation?

This should inform entrepreneurs: people want unique and beautiful flowers. I don’t see why it’s not possible to do at least some modifications with gene editing methods.

There's benchmarks on their page that directly compare to Mythos. Yes, I already know benchmarks aren't the territory.

The guy has zero imagination, I guess. Even Facebook was a stolen and mostly unoriginal idea, it was just executed well for that era. I can only feel sad for him, all the money in the world yet not a single creative or interesting idea to a

We’re supposed to have sympathy for techbros making half a million or more a year because.. they have to have their computer use monitored? Not even getting into the numerous list of unethical behavior of meta.. What a bizarre timeline..

Yep Kubernetes, more micro services than engineers, some complicated protocol that saves a few bytes of overhead, cloud everything, and tons of classes that could have been simple functions.

Does taking this example and extending it to the limit answer your question? There is a reason we don’t have a single file called program with a million lines of code in it. Google studies on module size vs code defect rates for more empiri

Coding agents have been better than the average "enterprise" programmer for a while now and nobody wants to admit it or talk about it. I have never seen an agent output an implementation called FooImpl that's tens of thousand

I believe a better phrasing for this is “standards change but your program will always be crappy”. Meaning if you choose all the popular tools and languages of the era because they’re standard and not because they’re the right fit for the p

It's not uniformity, it's cargo culting and offloading thinking to group norms. Doesn't help engineers are some of the most arrogant people alive and refuse to admit anything is complicated, as they consider it some kind affr

Crazy mental gymnastics if you think the American oligarchs don’t have the final say on everything in America. They’re just smart enough to do it behind the scenes, well they used to be. They barely bother anymore.

Shaming others when all AI is trained off scraped content and code huh? Many of those sources either breaking ToS or being illegal, such as Anna’s Archive. Bold move. And Chinese models in particular have been accused of distilling off Amer

We’ve detected zero cases of any Chinese models doing this. I’m quite tired of the American propaganda. If only Americans understood China really does not care about them outside of wanting to sell them things. They’re too busy building hig
