0.01 tk/s on an M1 Max is not "nearly". This is completely unusable, and in no way cost effective. 0.01 tokens per second means 1 million tokens ($3 worth of API usage [1]) takes 3.2 YEARS. [1] https://www.kimi.com

This is a good thing. If the economy was driven by essentials, it would mean we were in a VERY VERY bad place. Luckily, our economy is mostly based on luxury items, by world standards.

I've set permissions of the existing unit tests to read-only for this reason, since I've seen all the recent Opus do this. Sometimes it will also not careif a unit test fails, calling it "errant" or "legacy" or

In my mind, programming is the concepts, especially around problem solving with code as a tool , where coding is specific syntax/implementation, a means to an end . Related, you don't get paid to code, you get paid to program .

I agree completely, if you use a linter like shellcheck [1]. If you're just winging it, then no. I first learned about shellcehck when I worked with someone that claimed they could write flawless bash scripts, then blamed me when thei

If gradually one of these labs ends up with the top model that makes all the others uncompetitive, what's the difference? Why do you see time as important if the end result is the same? Winner still takes all, no?
