Europe is making big investments in military, there is no denying it. And comparing to the 1980's? Maybe look at how the borders have shifted since the 1980's, and then we'll talk again about how Western Europe is "decli

We Europeans are very well aware that we need to strengthen our position in the world, both economically and militarily. I would say we are making progress on both. China is not happy with recent EU decision for example. Let's see how

Name a single project that has a 10x increase. I mean real production ready code, not some single person hobby project.

I'm in camp 3, where sometimes I don't really care how good or bad the code is. For internal tools for example, you can let the LLM crunch out code really fast, you can validate output but don't even have to look at the code.

Can you give an example of a skill or prompt that would work in Claude and not in the others?

We have 3 big competitors in the space: Anthropic, Google and Microsoft. I think they can all use the same base configuration. So it's not that we are out of options here.

I came to the same conclusion. For the amount that a query costs, using Opus all the time is the cheapest option.

You probably mean you want to take free advantage of what others create, and you offer nothing in return. But maybe you will pleasantly surprise us and show what kind of valuable thing you create and offer for free.

My point is that you are unable to understand the difference between GPL and public domain.

by koonsolo 5mo ago
You are not a developer so you don't understand you can compile to a binary without revealing your sources? No copyright -> No GPL -> anyone can release their own close source version of open source software. Why do you think GPL
41.
by koonsolo 5mo ago
You should check out this thing called GPL that is the standard license of open source projects like Linux, and heavily depends on copyright laws. Or are you suggesting open source software is public domain?
42.
by koonsolo 5mo ago
Linux is clearly not public domain as it has a GPL license. And GPL heavily depends on copyright laws.

This reminds me of a joke my neighbor used to tell: If catch a burglar in my house, I will ask them what they are doing. If they respond with "I'm searching for money!", I'll suggest "Let's search together, and

They test everything manually and don't have any automated end-to-end tests? That basically proves my point ;).

Have you seen the automated tests that QA members deliver? My experience is that they are horrible, and it's not so hard to beat that low quality bar with an LLM. I have a theory: if they were good at writing automated tests, they woul

I used to hire people to do photoshop for me. So yes, I kind of get the idea. I don't hire them anymore. Can you guess why?

Same experience on my end. It's crazy what the latest version can pull off, with reference images, text, etc.

I can also switch back and forth between JavaScript and C++. Doesn't mean they are similar. Conceptually, branches in git and mercurial are worlds apart.
51.
by koonsolo 5mo ago
In Mercurial, a branch is a branch. In git, a branch is not really a branch but a pointer. So already the naming in git is very confusing, and conceptually it clearly is very different from Mercurial because of this reason.

Software developers get paid to crunch out as much code as possible. If you work twice as fast, do you think your employer will let you slack off a bit because they ran out of work? What really happens is that your bucket gets filled with m

If your competitor can deliver more features faster and with higher quality, I don't think it's them that will end up bankrupt.

There are jobs with limited work, and jobs with unlimited work. Since your farming land is limited, after the job is done, there is no more work. For software projects, there is always more work to do. It's an arms race between competi

I agree with you, but a big drawback is that the accuracy or confidence of their output can't be estimated. So they surely know a lot, but you are never sure if the info is correct or not.

Do you think the latter can be achieved with the LLM neural network architecture? I highly doubt it. Neural networks are very old tech, and it took us that long to get us here. I'm sure we'll reach AGI at some point, but looking a

In 2000 I learned about this old technology called "neural networks". AI really depends on long winters and rare breakthroughs. Deep neural network was the most recent breakthrough. The iterations you currently see it just adding

So now your competitors go twice as fast as you. Good luck with that.

It's clear you don't understand the "deterrence" part of "nuclear deterrence".

by koonsolo 5mo ago
Like I said, if you think you don't need nuclear deterrance, there is no point in discussing this further. Also funny how you give 2 examples of nuclear powers who attack countries with no nuclear deterrence.
