I did a couple of quick searchers with help of ChatGPT, and it seems like in Norway, at least, a tenured professor would get ~$50k post-tax, a primary school teacher ~$35k, and a cleaner ~$20k. If anything, such low income inequality seems

Sometimes I do OP’s approach, sometimes yours, but in all cases, writing down what you need done in detailed English gets me to a better understand of what the hell I’m even doing. Even if I wrote the same prompts and specs and then typed

4o-mini costs ~$0.26 per Mtok, running qwen-2.5-7b on a rented 4090 (you can probably get better numbers on a beefier GPU) will cost you about $0.8. But 3.5-turbo was $2 per Mtok in 2023, so IMO actual technical progress in LLMs drives pric

When I pay attention to o3 CoT, I notice it spends a few passes thinking about my system prompt. Hard to imagine this question is hard enough to spend 13 seconds on.

That’s a good thing. You want an LLM to know about product or service you are selling and promote it to its users. Getting into the training data is the new SEO.

Ironically, cloudflare is also the reason OpenAI agent mode with web use isn’t very usable right now. Every second time I asked it to do a mundane task like checking me in for a flight it couldn’t because of cloudflare.

This is also something that an LLM would be able to easily explain. I'm pretty confident that all 4o-level models know these facts without web search.

That’s why I like using it and get more fulfilment from coding than before: I do the fun parts. AI does the mundane.

Syntax and type errors gets instantly picked up by type checker and corrected, and as long as these failures stay in context, LLM doesn’t make those mistakes again. Not something I ever have to pay attention to.

Prescriptive vs descriptive. I see absolutely no reason why public utilities shouldn’t operate on exactly the same principles, and I see plenty from real world examples on why they actually should.

Great point. Also, it may not be the best possible API designer in the world, but it sure sounds like a good way to forecast what an _average_ developer would expect this API to look like.
