I'm not invested in Bitcoin in any way, so I consider myself neutral. But I see some similarities here. Yes, unlike Bitcoin, gold has some real uses - but it's not what defines gold price, so I don't think it's relevant
632.

Bitcoin seems to be working as a kind of digital gold if you look at price development. It's not that much about technology though.

It's money. People with capital can beat the drum indefinitely long indefinitely hard until "inevitable" becomes inevitable.

Yeah, cause we want to be in control of software, understandably. It's hard to charge for software users have full control of - except for donations. That's #1 reason for me to not use any gen AI at the moment - I'm keeping a

The talent stays with Devin. Google has got the CEO. Not sure why they need a CEO, maybe Pichai wants to retire

So they will get stocks of a company that ceases to exist basically

So the nobility goes to Google and rank and file engineers are subject to consolidation, am I reading this right?

by oytis 1y ago
E.g. to secure the quality of training data?

by oytis 1y ago
Yeah, I was thinking more of a table with benchmark results

The press release talks a lot about how it was done, but very little about how capabilities compare to other open models.

What I like about IDE wars is that it remained a dispute between engineers. Some engineers like fancy pants IDEs and use them, some are good with vim and stick with that. No one ever assumed that Jetbrains autocomplete is going to replace m

AFAIK that business model already works with rental contracts.

That point would be late 90s to early 2000s. We've already got internet, it wasn't full of ads and was used to actually exchange information. Should have just made it faster and more accessible and stopped there

Yeah, physics is a bitch. But we can start with history?

That's the most promising solution to AI hallucinations. If LLM output doesn't match the reality, fix the reality

by oytis 1y ago
The change is already happening. People graduating now are largely "AI-first", and it's going to be even worse if you listen to what teachers tell. And management often welcomes it too. So you need to deal with it one way or

> Does that work as well with non-strangers who are your coworker? Yeah, OK, I guess you have to be a bit less unapologetic than Linux kernel maintainers in this case, but you can still shift the culture towards more careful PRs I think.
650.
by oytis 1y ago
There are ways to fight it though. Look at Linux kernel for instance - they have been overwhelmed with poor contributions long before LLMs. The answer is to maintain standards that put as much burden on the contributor as possible, and norm

I guess answering "you obviously didn't write it, please redo" is not an option, because then you are the dinosaur hindering company's march towards the AI future?

If you define good idea to be limited to SaaS, then sure you'll reach saturation pretty soon. But, say, anything that involves hardware could definitely benefit from a little more funding. Also, he's a VC, but where more funding e

I don't want to downplay it, but even if US literally had masked men disappear American citizens without trace, that would be... well, just a dictatorship - many of them were overcome when society picked up the fight.

by oytis 1y ago
I just don't think it's going to be good for humanity if US ceases to be a democracy. Sure, scientists probably don't have to be on the forefront of the struggle, and I understand those who decide to leave but saying that the

Why though? Institutions have just started to crumble (we didn't even see a really rigged election yet, though might see one soon), and the actual civic resistance in the streets has barely started. Trump's grip on America is much

by oytis 1y ago
That's very touching, but not very nuanced - which is fine for a 6 minute video, but maybe it's just not the right format for this topic. Like, yes, if the regime is planning extermination of your people, you'd better run as

Well, lots of them literally fled from an imminent death threat.

It's not even that. Why are trained humans who are now 10 times more productive haven't created new amazing operating systems, programming languages, game engines, browsers etc. We should have had a lot of outstanding products sin
