well, somebody has to learn it anew, after all the seniors are out. It's fine.

See, you can do this a lot easier, and a lot of HN folks have already figured out this simple trick: 1. open the comments page 2. select the comment box 3. judge the linked content by its HN title alone and get ready to post /s

I feel like hearing this is dangerous in itself - even if you overestimate yourself, surely you yourself don't overestimate yourself as much as others? Personally, I ran against a closed glass door yesterday. All I hope for is that I

I'm sure at an $80 valuation they will tell everyone how it's time to buy as it slides down further

Because buyer ignorance is very, very useful when you care only about selling. See also: used cars market, Tesla FSD, etc.

Good introduction to the space in Python (although a lot of languages have it, and just as many disallow it). I'm still on the fence regarding how useful or confusing it is. without (or even with) good variable names, "a + b"

To piss off architects, managers and linguists all at the same time: language isn't much of a standard at all, it's more the current agreed-ish state of things, quite similar to the current state of a code base. Your inner model o

I agree, harnesses is where everyone improved the most. Our internal experimental tool can now semi-reliably formulate small programs to assert the correctness of their theories, for example. Context length is still a weird factor that we h

Am I missing something that my original points no longer hold for their products? Did it get meaningfully solved? Are your experiences flawless on that front?

by rf15 3mo ago
You are correct, the frameworks around it have improved. In that regard, my assessment is unfair: I only judge the underlying technology and what is sold by the sota providers, with the premise of what it's like when you start fresh. Y

OP is largely pissed with what OAI/Antrophic are trying to sell as meaningful improvements and the market-bending money they ask for it. I work in the space and we trained LLM models on conceptual tokens, not language tokens, for examp

My company had such a system four years ago, for internal work, somewhat more limited in scope (one language). What you are seeing as the frontier is not necessarily the best you can have - just because people don't try to push it to m

Yes! Impressive, isn't it? I see how it has improved for some minor points, that the big models can cover more finetuning ground, but my big gripes are still the same - you could do the same back then with multiple models and more targ

I've worked with these systems for four years now and they have not meaningfully improved in that time frame. We still have: - statistical correlation between two things will always cause one thing to lead to the other, no matter how

let's reuse a classic here: "prompt or it didn't happen" How much did they feed it up front? Because that's the thing in all of these benchmaxxing endeavours.

I mean, that's what it looks like when it is sane vs manic people and the observer cannot quite tell which side is which.

This is so clearly all LLM-generated, it hurts. That coverage page in particular is seemingly nonsense. also check out his similar work, https://miniswift.run/ which has the same issues.
