You made some points worthy of expansion: >> You should know - for coding they make terrible mistakes as well. >> But programmers have this concept of a "code review" where another person looks at the code to look for

Programming has a long standing culture of accepting the code to be somewhat wrong, so we have various tests, linters, reviews and error handling. Also in programming there are many ways to do something and it's the end result that mat

What a refreshing, albeit completely fictional, recount of history.

Sorry what claim again needs any evidence here? This is all common knowledge. Iran supporting Russia is a fact no one tries to hide; Iran supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, various Shiaa militias in Iraq, supported Assad reg

You’re right; given that most of the money in the AI market is injected through OpenAI and Anthropic (which collect it through both selling equity and through customer revenue), the 7-8T is just a derivative of that.

It can't hallucinate, but it doesn't mean it can't make wrong decisions. Just because it adheres to a specific output format at all time, while LLMs have the output format at their mercy, then the claim of not hallucinating i

We have an agentic system that produces insights for end users, and runs most of its work on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash but as an output stage transforms the resulting text through Gemini 3.8 Flash for readability, and it works. On my TODO is try

Reading your comment, I asked it to count how many characters are in the word. It answered correctly: 9. It then also said it skipped an E in the prior chat and corrected it count to 4. It spun for 52 seconds so maybe some Python was involv

I used the 6 Pro setting in the chat. Too smart for its own good, I guess.

Or they just publicly collude to slow down expenses because they are running out of money so why not stop the arms race.

In the savanna it’s not about who outruns the lion but who outruns their peers escaping the lion. Frontier labs need these headlines not for human progress but as beauty pageant for investors and government agencies. If they don’t do maths

Code cost is almost down to zero. If you move the point of “just leave it to the machine” from the compiler (where humans used to do the coding) to the high level logic (now with LLMs) then in most cases more code does not really matter. Li

Longer stem means bigger case. The case on the Pro is nice, the regular one not so much.

As a pretty avid Star Trek watcher from childhood, I found most of the things there technologically plausible other than the conversational nature of the ship's computer. Well, LLMs now are far more impressive conversation counterparts

I find I still add value, but I don't know if my value is real. Am I just biased and expect things to be done a certain way and penalize the model for doing something different? and am I providing the model with enough high quality con

I share the sentiment but the question here is how long can we maintain the balance point where the human in the agentic loop is required. It might be a window lasting only a few years, or for the foreseeable future; I think the answer lies

These inventions all stopped disrupting the world and just became a part of it. The question is whether LLMs are going to just take their quiet place, or profoundly change (or eliminate) humanity in a self-feeding frenzy towards singularity

We need purpose, as a species; after all we left the caves for a better life. Desires make us human, the pursuit keep us busy and entertained. There is no passion without wanting, and without passion what is the reason for living?

by flyinglizard 22d ago
People need purpose. Workplaces provide a very structured, highly managed, perpetual treadmill of purpose. Not purpose in the "self growth" sense, but just something to keep people occupied. "The devil looks for idle hands&qu

Zitron is providing a service: he's running the train for those who want to believe, or sincerely believe, AI is a bubble. His interviews are apocalyptical one sided rants that confuse what is with what Zitron thinks should be. I'

FWIW I run a clinical analysis backend and directly compared Luna with DSv4 Flash 0731 - DS was a bit ahead, and cheaper even considering it used 40% more tokens. The exposure to Deepseek made me question the valuation house of cards built

I pay $200 a month at home for roughly the same amount of tokens I pay $3k for (or possibly more) at work. I doubt they are both profitable and sustainable.

I'm really sorry you have these strong feelings, however, the first two links don't even mention Israel, and the third quotes the closest thing Israel has to a Nazi party, of which I assure you there are plenty in many countries.

It takes a big leap of faith for real companies with a real P&L to hand out token budgets in the thousands far and wide across their teams. The ROI is very easy difficult to demonstrate. I've been thinking about it a lot and I thin

Ben Gvir is the minister responsible for domestic security (primarily police, firefighters etc), with no effect (beyond his position in the coalition) on the warfare policy in Lebanon or Gaza. He's not even responsible for Shin Bet (

Gaza attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023. Lebanon joined Gaza’s offense on October 8th, 2023.

by flyinglizard 1mo ago
It is bad faith to use Ben Gvir as a representative for Israel, let alone Israelis. He received less than 5% of the votes for parliament and only got to his ministerial position due to the extortive nature of the Israeli political system.

Ah yes, Israel has really thrown all of its economical and technological might behind this campaign to the tune of $100k. It was either this or another nuclear sub.
