This is actually a difficult project for LLMs, because a single bad decision can ruin the whole harvest.

From the guys who don't understand that people don't like to see their questions closed as a "duplicate" of an unrelated question.

They don't just maintain these products, they enshittify them to extract the maximum possible profit from captive users, until someone else comes in and builds everything from scratch all over again. This is crazy inefficient yet it&#x

Have there been any serious legal efforts to make this less profitable? It's very clearly detrimental to society.

A lot of these issues mostly disappear if you use play money. It turns out that play money prediction markets are just as good as the real money ones.

France has a strong creative industry, which is why the government has always been very active in this domain. Some other European are much less concerned about the issue.

8GB is really low. That said, perhaps there is a niche for slow LLM inference for non-interactive use. For example, if you use LLMs to triage your emails in the background, you don't care about latency. You just need the throughput to

I don't really buy this argument. What counts is angular motion as seen from the camera, not absolute speed. In terms of angular speed, unless you have a helicopter flying super low, I doubt aircraft move significantly faster than a pr

There is a real need for education of the masses. Not destroying the planet should win elections, not lose them.

650,000 monthly active users is not "extremely small". I wonder how many total users Claude Code has?

For the little Haskell I've done with llms, I can tell you they're not bad at it. Actually, Haskell was a bit too hard for me on my own for real projects. Now with AI assistants, I think it could be a great pick.

"AI" doesn't exist. There are probably hundreds of different breast cancer detection algorithms. Maybe the SOTA isn't good enough yet. That doesn't mean AI in general is fundamentally incapable of correctly detectin

Not a word on the environmental impact. We need to be flying less, not faster. And yes, I know flying only makes roughly 5% of world emissions. It also turns out that these are some of the most avoidable emissions. We should be cutting them

Depends on the application. In many cases it's good enough.

> And at least the negativity allows us to fix the problems Does it? A lot of the negativity is structural (late stage capitalism and all), and there is very little talk regarding fixing these issues.

I've been using vim for 20 years. It's gotten me through all the evolutions of programming, from ctags, to language servers, to AI with copilot. There's something extremely satisfying about having a dependable free software e

I've been using wayland with Gnome for years without a single issue. Arguably my hardware is a lot simpler and I don't use Nvidia. But I just want to point out that, for all the flak wayland receives, it can work quite well.

I would actually enjoy that for certain small projects. Rust without the borrow checker is a very elegant language. The borrow checker is great, of course, but it can be a pain to deal with. So, for small projects it would be nice to be abl

It's fine in the sense that certain people are content to browse the web without adblock, or be interrupted by an ad every 30s on YouTube. For those of us with higher standards, it's not.

Realistically, in the best case scenario, what can we expect from quantum computing? Which real world applications will benefit from it?

What a disaster. Any little competition they have, they are going to buy out. The world needs much stronger anti trust laws.
