There's a good chance that they'll catch up. The "AI race" is a race to the bottom, with the leaders blowing huge wads of cash on capabilities that get replicated months later by the competition at a fraction of the cost

You’re right, but it’s gonna be hard to stop them from raging. In many ways people want to be justified in a „see, I told you so, Rust is useless” belief, and they’re willing to take one or two questionable logical steps to get there.

Got it. I imagine concurrency bugs will hit hard with this approach because they show up rarely and are hard to debug.

How do you check if what it produced is even the right thing? Models love to go chasing the wrong goal based on a reasonable spec.

Yes, after all there are countless examples where doing just that lowered rent long term. Simple as that, a shame that dummies don’t get it. In fact we should force current owners to sell in order build more densely on their land! And keep

I will never get the bottle cap haters. It’s a genuine improvement for me, and at most a minor inconvenience for anyone. Calling that a „terrible” idea makes you wonder what kind of scale you’re using, putting so much weight on something so

I would expect that OpenAI gets as much money as they ask for for the next 10 years. There’s virtually infinite capital: if needed, more can be reallocated from the federal government (funded with debt), from public companies (funded with p

There are tools for rendering like pandoc. Way more powerful than Obsidian.

TUI is arguably a better interface. Faster, more lightweight, operable with keyboard. The only problem was a barrier of entry which is gone now.

You could but the barrier was higher. You’re right to ask, but wrong to do it in a rude manner.

Honestly with LLMs you don't need an Obsidian anymore. You can just use neovim or emacs. Every feature you need, like search, or linking can be done via plugins or shell commands.

Sure but then they have to waste time working for money, rather than doing God’s work.

He must be feeling pretty good, after all he still believes that it was the right call, and he definitely won't be admitting a mistake. There's 0 chance of him facing the consequences for it either.

Human appetite for more knows no bounds. Imagine what we’d have to do for everyone to have a zettaflop. We won’t have the resources for it. So guys like this one are in competition with normal people who just need a little bit of compute, s

What is tiresome is how sincerely these people insist on being able to make everyone act according to their will, while simultaneously displaying weakness, incompetence, and extreme pettiness. Trying to threaten people into respecting them.

It’s more like the abusive parents telling the child that they’ll sell him to the scary man at the bus stop every time they want to coerce the child into doing what they want. Eventually the child develops disrespect for authority.

How could it be that a political system which remained largely structurally unchanged since the freaking 18th century isn't equipped to deal with everything that has been going on in the world since then? It must be due to bad actors.

It’s the crudeness of available management methods at play. Quite exposing for the profession, really (remember lines of code as measure of productivity?).

I recommend reading about the concept of alienation in Marx and Marcuse. They argue that it’s systematically produced, which I can’t prove, but just the observation that it exists, is very insightful.

You can just compile any tail recursive function to a function with a loop and no recursion.
