Those are completely deterministic systems, of bounded scope. They can be ~completely solved, in the sense that all possible inputs fall within the understood and always correctly handled bounds of the system's specifications. There&

Sure, but how many LLM streaming clients are out there? Namespacing, sure. But is "We use gh:someguy/openai/llm-streaming-client to talk to the backend" (x50 similarly cumbersome names in any architecture discussion) rea

Engineers at Google are much less likely to be doing green-field generation of large amounts of code . It's much more incremental, carefully measured changes to mature, complex software stacks, and done within the Google ecosystem, whi

I feel like none of these discussions can ever go anywhere, if they don't start from a place of recognizing that "AI is a massive bubble" and "AI is a very interesting and useful technology that will continue to increase

I think the OP meant something far simpler (and perhaps less interesting), which is that you simply cannot encounter key errors due to missing fields, since all fields are always initialized with a default value when deserializing. That&#x2

Yes, at about 1% of this scale. OpenAI's obligations are not something they can just run to daddy VC to pay for; he can't afford it either

I feel like this doesn't really answer the "why," it just describes the situation. Almost everything said here could apply to anything in the VC-funded world; what makes the crypto space uniquely vulnerable to this cycle?

The company's main site is truly bonkers. 27 repetitions of the term "Tier 1," half of them applied to nonsensical things. The CEOs bio lists his League of Legends ranking, twice. 14 available products listed for a supposedly

That probably describes some corners of Tesla's market, but 99% of people buying Teslas and FSD are doing it because it is (was?) a cool car with a potentially cool feature. You're letting the wildly unrepresentative sample of &qu

How in the world did you read "hit piece on open source" into this article? There's nothing negative about open source at all, he's making exactly the same point as you.

A lot of arguing "against LLMs" is not arguing "shovels aren't useful," it's arguing "maybe shovels aren't actually going to replace all human labor, and sinking so much capital into it we're sta

Sounds like a great way to shift our problems from categories that are easy to measure to ones that are hard to measure.

Are anonymous namespaces really that obscure? They're pretty bog-standard where I work, anyway. Don't think I've ever seen a .cc file more than a couple hundred lines that didn't have one for various helper functions.

Exhaustion is absolutely the first word that comes to mind for me. Even when I'm not using it myself, I'm exhausted of all the oxygen it takes up in the room

Not to say they're fully innocent, but it seems really strange to point to Google specifically on this issue, rather than like... Meta.

Sure; I think his point was that people much less likely to even notice/acknowledge the slide towards authoritarianism when their own individual experience isn't changing much. Not that it changes authoritarianism's moral sta

> People aren't bad at "unpacking". They haven't made any effort to think about things. I feel like the author made it pretty clear that's exactly what he means by "bad at unpacking."

While it's definitely more complicated than necessary, and silly that the game doesn't explain it at all, it also... doesn't really seem that complicated? Certainly not enough to live up to the amount of text spent building

For the executive, sure. Not for the impact of the overall incentive structure on the trajectory of the business. Which is what this discussion is about.

Sure, I suppose... The strange leap you're making is in the assumption that Internet memes are somehow inherently on the side of open-mindedness. Memes can be, and constantly are, absolutely used as weapons of propaganda, both intentio

You're moving into delusional territory here. He is not being "exhaustively probed," he is being "constantly spammed by confidently incorrect nonsense."

My approach, finally mostly successful after over a decade, is just "no main feed or subreddit pages." Reading a thread off a Google search or whatever because it has information I want is fine.
