Anyone who has designed circuits will consider CPUs wasteful compared to ASICs. This new FPGA technology is just a less efficient ASIC. That’s roughly what I’m hearing. The fact that general purpose intelligent classifiers can be dynamicall

I’m cancelling my department’s subscriptions over this once we can get more access to Astra. I canceled my personal subscription the weekend after Astra was released. I was working with our internal IT to swap the whole team when OpenAI tur

Shouldn’t this article be about the disadvantages of using TypeSafe’s Jev as a classifier? This is a bit of an outdated take as of two days ago. Dear lord things move fast these last few years. Some of this is still relevant. Fine tuning Je

My advice likely does not universally apply outside of a reasonably well managed business with a P&L statement at the back of management’s minds. Y’all have to answer to boards of various kinds with completely unreasonable expectations.

I liked reduce. You know, back when writing code was actually a thing we all did. However, in those times of yore, I would often go back and remove it before committing. Unless you’re surrounded by other clever people, or it’s a personal pr

This is only a viable strategy if you are under resourced. There’s a whole art to managing upward by crisis. Successful communication strategy: There is too much work for the department. If we don’t scale up we’re going to have some kind of

I think this article’s take gives too much credit to the human brain. It’s just another machine. However, right now, AI mostly cares about solving puzzles and accomplishing stated goals because that’s what we’ve trained it to do. Additional

I’ll try to explain value provided a bit. I think it’s a useful concept to share. A company or organization, generally speaking, has a purpose. It either produces something for or provides a service to end customers which they perceive as v

Or a partially completed song, asking for the next note. I’m not sure if you’re joking, but using it for space constrained next token generation within a grammar sounds like a really neat use case.

Could you use this to build a proactive memory formation and retrieval system for LLMs that runs lightning fast? Last 32k of connect + Summary of current task: Did we learn something useful here (true/false)? What is the category to fi

I’ve gotten down votes on this comment, but this is the kind of work we have PMs doing now. We don’t even have dedicated frontend developers anymore. Continuing down this path is how you lose your job when someone who understands how to use

That’s a user error. Tell it to utilize a UI component library to separate styling from feature implementation and add tests which fail any feature level component outside of the UI component library which directly specify style. As a bonus

More like a 10k fine, auditing, and a suggestion to settle with affected parties or face civil litigation. You know, a proportional response. As opposed to closing a massive business over a couple of engineers screwing up.

Pattern I’m continually seeing. User: I want to access what your business provides via AI.[1] Business: I am not incentivized to do that. You should use our specific AI workflow and agents directly in our software. User: That gives me a fra

I think it’s more complex than that? What did it do? What did the user prompt it to do? What did the company train it to do? What did the harmed party do? There’s possibility for negligence at every level. If you train a dog, rent it to som

That is a simplistic view of the world. “Surely this complex technical challenge will disappear if we simply regulate the industry!” You are correct that these organizations should be held accountable in proportion to what occurred. In comp

Side note, you could absolutely create an AI sleeper agent by simulating dates and times during training to effectively flip a switch. I guarantee AI systems from other countries will be banned from accessing products which manage controlle

This is so much more interesting than what people looking for immediate criminal punishment and people referring to AI as next token generators are focusing on. First, this is happening during training. That means we’re talking about an evo

Not to be tautological, but isn’t the product the product? Which code? The high level code? The transpiled intermediate code? The assembly it runs on eventually? The microcode optimizations on the processor? I’ve written assembly profession

I’ll try to explain how to do it correctly. I’m not selling anything. Seeing this as the top comment makes me a bit sad. 1. Learn about ports and adapters as an architecture pattern. Domain driven design and locality of reasoning are yo

I have frequently been called a 10x developer by peers. I have written assembly ISRs for wireless firmware. I do full stack development. I’ve reverse engineered proprietary network protocols from dead products for use in specialized communi

I just wrote my own VR harness in a weekend with Astra. It mentioned an SDK for exactly this in passing, but it was an experimental personal project so I didn’t bother to review the code. I was doing exactly what you’re describing. I think

I would not be surprised if demand is truly unprecedented. I was blown away by Opus 4.5 in November of 2025. I am even more astounded at the quality of Astra for every day medium to hard coding tasks. And Astra scales. Claude in its current

It’s a model issue. I’m in the process of switching my company’s primary AI provider after several days of testing Astra. Even Fable feels like an idiot now. It’s not the code quality, it’s the improvements in communication and judgement. I

I apologize, but I’m laughing as this is like asking why I don’t drive my car through my house when I need to carry something heavy. It wouldn’t work very well! More directly, because I have a long term memory and do not have fundamental is

I feel the premise of this research is wrong, or at least the synopsis phrasing. Smart people like learning. Now we just learn more interesting things. Weekend me before LLMs: Maybe I’ll chip away at that dependency injection library I’ve b

That’s a fair point. Practically, we need to adopt new practices and systems in the field. They may already exist in many cases.

IBM should be searching their patents, obscure computer architecture research, and historical low level hardware development to try to figure out how to get low energy AI systems running. They should pivot their cloud offerings toward resea

I feel a lot of comments here are missing the forest for the trees. We do not yet have the next generation systems that will manage AI creation and maintenance of systems. Humans have been making spaghetti code systems and maintaining them
