This stance is so anti-consumer it's laughable. Are you seriously implying LG doesn't turn a decent profit with their massive empire? There's an issue with capitalism of chasing infinite growth rather than stability, and this

> We do not own the same copy of that book Why not? If you hash the book, it’ll match. It’s word for word the same book (editions not withstanding). It’s not the same if you tie in account permissions, of course. Or is this on a philosop

I really don’t understand why this is being downvoted? Did I say something wrong / controversial? Or is it because I’m not using my resources the “optimal” way? Is it because my models aren’t open weight? I was only trying to contribut

I for one am running what I can on my aging 1080Ti(!!), namely a Qwen2.5 14B (4-bit quantized). It’s not great, and the only other card I have is a 3070Ti but I need that for gaming. :( What a terrible card that 3070Ti is. Mad regrets buyin

You’re overly focusing on the IQ, and completely hand waving the structural advantages. You do not understand.

It even almost reads like “Borges”, at least on the top. The design is remarkable.

Thanks, I did some digging. My biggest issue is Andrew Jervis not running Bandcamp Weekly anymore. I loved that show :(

Epic bought bandcamp many moons ago. Did they enshittify it or is it still going strong?

No wonder Google was all: > L'utilisation de la violence ou de menaces armées n'est pas une solution. When I tried to search for what that meant. Thanks, kind stranger! My curiosity is sated. PS: What Google said translates to

Is human programming going anywhere? I mean sure you’re not literally typing the actual lines of code, but we haven’t done assembly since compilers and transpilers exist. Personally, all AI has done is add another layer of abstraction where

Why are we holding the engineers accountable and not the CEO? The company isn’t one department. Responsibility should bubble up to the top.

Absolutely. And honestly, I don't think AI can really replace that. It can execute a plan, but it can't really figure out the best plan from a sea of unknowns strewn within people's minds. There's a certain meditative as

I sympathize with this take but I think it’s conflating programming as a hobby vs code needed to run a business. I always believed that programming was solving problems and building things. With AI, you can still solve problems - the better

Did they validate the result? Is it correct / accurate? If it is, then it passes the “good enough” test. For non-tech folks who just vibe code a fix, “technical debt” is not in their vocabulary. And if it works well, I don’t see the is

That’s fair pushback. I concluded that this was the underlying assumption because I couldn’t surmise anything else because you had said this: > The implication is that vaccines saved X lives. This could convince most of the people. But s

> So the point being 1000 deaths from X to 0 deaths from X does not necessary mean X lives saved. Yes, this statement is a non-sequitur. A vaccine preventing death from X does not prevent a death from other causes. That doesn’t mean X is

This comment implies that Claude Code is a harness, but as an AI newbie I don’t think that’s a harness? If anything it’s just a sandbox, right?

The statement “These are child safety laws” premises that the laws would save children - so the way to refute is to ask for proof. Outside of vaccines I doubt there is anything concrete that will directly benefit children. There is no argum
