Pretty much anything hardware based is like this. Everything is 100% closed source and bolted down such that inspecting it is outright impossible without extensive reverse engineering.

Any company still doing them is wasting their time. I can show up hungover and half asleep with an Astra/Fable subscription and ace any leetcode problem with zero difficulty.

Why would the subscription matter if you're not even getting interviews? The only relevant metric is your personal network, everything else is done.

This would cease to be a problem if OpenAI remained true to their founding motto and... actually open sourced their training/inference pipeline.

Under EU rules it doesn't constitute consent.

by rfgplk 16d ago
Under current understanding of the law, anything produced purely by LLMs (with no substantive human input, which is what OpenAI claimed in their post) is firmly in the public domain. So OpenAI can "claim" anything they want, it do

Greetings, from the last time I posted this micron has received large extensions and is now (more or less) feature complete. In addition, I've also ported it to baremetal, so you can use it (more or less drop in) in embedded environmen

Skill issue. Also lean is meant to be executed, not read.

Something I've been going on and on about for months now and no one seems to listen. LLMs today are allowing _anyone_ to access cross-discipline knowledge that was previously entirely inaccessible without a) extremely deep pockets or b

I don't see how companies like this can survive going forwards. DaVinci Resolve is effectively ~200 Astra/Fable prompts, maybe even fewer if you're willing to forgo polish.

This is something I've been pondering about. The article is well written but doesn't mention that even mere specs of dust can have catastrophic consequences for spacecraft (literally a spec of a few milligrams). A logical solution

What languages do you work with? The two models perform differently on different tech stacks. Generally as of today, GPT-6 is downright the best overall model at raw code generation / cross discipline understanding / bugfixing. Th

Unique language! To me the definition of low-level vs high-level strictly comes from the indirection the language runtime provides for you. If the language compiles down to asm, it's low level. It literally does _not_ matter what it lo

You're thinking of pre-LLM times. Nowadays GPT-6 can probably advise them better than all the worlds law firms combined. And probably win too, considering the incompetence (and tech illiteracy) of human lawyers.

~99% of the cost is due to red-tape regulations. It's so obscene that they require certified backup genererators for the backup generators and 3-4 layers of fail safes. Then you need to wait YEARS to get all the permits and licenses. O

The hardest part of C++ are it's lifetime rules, which are in fact extremely difficult to grasp. There's essentially a unique(ish) ruleset for each class of object and misinterpreting one of them (no matter how obscure) can easily

"Polars 2.0 will be released (publicly) in the following weeks" sounds far more natural.
