No, assembly doesn't always inherently deal with abstractions. It depends on the system involved. I don't really count "microcode" as an abstraction, it's essentially part of the hardware and doesn't even exist

LLMs lie constantly. There should be no trust in that system. And no I don't think they will "get better".

The word is "bribing", and the current (bribable) administration won't be around forever (hopefully).

I doubt any of that is valid. Therac-25 happened 44 years ago , that's a very long time, and many people involved in cancer research today weren't even alive when it happened. "Theryq" and "Therac" are not qui

I didn't come up with that idea, it has been passed down through generations of workers, and by multitudes of co-workers.

Sorry you wasted your time writing something that I won't read, but I told you, this conversation is over . You didn't "win" here, you only made yourself look like a pathetic, desperate fanboi.

>I am shipping more code, better code, less buggy code WAY faster than ever before. It's clearly relative. For all we know you're a crap coder and AI is now your crutch. We have no evidence that with AI you are as good as an av

That's my experience too. It's okay at a few things that save me some typing, but it isn't really going to do the hard work for me. I also still need to spend significant amounts of time figuring out what it did wrong and cor

The US would already be at war with China if the US tried to insert a military base in Taiwan.

The mental gymnastics you're doing is impressive! > "Apple’s iPhone marketshare in the US is 60% vs Samsung’s at 22%" Which iPhone, which Samsung? And you're cherry-picking the US market only. Worldwide, Apple's

Cute that the Apple fanboys constantly want to make this about a brand, and not a platform, because the Apple platform is very low ranking in the larger world of Smartphones. So you will literally redefine the conversation just to give your

Slop is still slop. There is no legitimate evidence that these systems get any better just by throwing more hardware at it. Every one of the people in this paper is involved with OpenAI, so it is very suspect in its findings.

>OpenAI seems to believe more and larger datacenters is the path to better models... Does that mean they produce better slop, or more slop faster?

I've been given absolutely wrong medical advice from Gemini, specifically about medication I was taking, so I know it was wrong. So, YMMV.

That's great, but it's pretty well known that racism exists in many forms in many countries. Just google "racism in china".

Apple's "glass" UI update debacle should be evidence enough to quash any argument you could make. Their current performance leaves a lot to be desired, everyone hates "glass".

You can only buy hardware that runs Apple software from Apple, but Android mobile devices far outsell Apple devices and always have. Apple is and always has been a minority player in the overall smartphone market (and desktop/laptop as

That is also far from my experience. I'm starting to think it's more about you than about the tech. I have 5 machines running Linux, and they never break (1 server and 4 VMs). I have 4 machines running Windows (3 physical, 1 VM),

Okay, I can agree with that. And the laws definitely have not kept up with the times.
