Same. It'll be interesting to see when open source slows down enough and is maybe all but eliminated...how will things advance? Once everyone uses AI. How will anything new come about? AI could quite possibly slow down innovation and i

They were right in many cases. You can choose to pick out the small percentage of musicians who were successful there or you can recognize the many that were never known. You can do the same for photography. People keep lowering expectation

Yea those companies do...but you know what? Those engineers working there contributing that code are getting paid to do so.

You have a right to the work you author. If you are selling your work or your services, then you have to protect your product - yourself. If you decide to put open source out there for others to use, then sure. You chose to allow that. If y

Kind of a catch 22 isn't it? LLMs trained off stack overflow data. Without new data for them to train from, what will happen to the quality of LLMs in the future? How will technology advance without research sharing?

Definitely going to have some "super worms" out there in the future.

by tom_m 1y ago
Absolutely. The "intelligence" isn't complete without a memory. In fact there's a whole lot more to it than that. The LLM is one component, a logic factory, but there's so much more than the LLM and the memory. In f

Cursor is pretty bad in my experience. I don't know why because I find Windsurf better and they both use Claude. Regardless, Gemini 2.5 Pro is far far better and I use that with open-source free Roo Code. You can use the Gemini 2.5 Pro

They aren't increasing productivity. In the short term. They are very handy tools that can help you learn a foreign code/base faster. They can help you when you run into those annoying blockers that usually take hours or days or a

Yea, but Microsoft was slapped with anti-trust before too. These companies shrug it off. Yea, I guess it's not really much of a race. Because they are competing for something Google already largely has. In a few years, literally everyo

I don't think we can stop that unfortunately. Stock prices are tied to company profitability. That's how it works. In part. The other part is called over valued. That happens more and more. But I mean, nothing new of course. Somet

It's not a big deal, it's just ONE piece of evidence the YouTuber has no experience and is just being a schill for something. You have to be aware of being marketed to. This is how it works these days. No more TV ads.

Or you worked in an office. Or remote on Zoom. Or you read (projects and articles often explain how to pronounce). So you know... experience in the industry. But I'm not even talking about the weird names for things either.

True, but before they end up there, they can expose PII and all sorts of nasty stuff. It does matter.

Strong coders could use anything from a vi to vs code to cursor to a potato. Ok maybe not a potato.

by tom_m 1y ago
Copilot indexes too. Cursor doesn't let you adjust temperature. Claude gives random results. Ask the same thing a few times and see. That's why I like Roo Code, it gives you more options. But here's the thing. You CAN make th

Roo Code with Gemini 2.5 Pro has been really great and FREE. I'm super curious to see how this landscape changes. I'm still surprised Windsurf managed to be acquired for $3B too. Give it a few years and there won't be a point

I think about this a lot. Then I realize many are already bad to begin with. So they may not be much worse as it turns out. We'll have to see. One thing is certain though - it's an amazing time for security professionals. We alrea

You can have Copilot use Claude now but I'm not sure it's the default. I found the latest Gemini Pro 2.5 to be much better than Claude Sonnet anyway...but yes, these are all more or less the same at this point. One thing people do

by tom_m 1y ago
Very true. You can easily tell from the YouTubers. When you listen to them, it's clear they don't know what they're talking about because of half the things they pronounce incorrectly or incorrectly reference something.

Uh yea they are real and will have an impact. Who didn't think that? People who banned books maybe? That's pretty wild. Appreciate articles like this though because they can maybe help someone out there. If everyone doesn't t

Definitely. When computers came out, jobs increased. When the Internet became widely used, jobs increased. AI is simply another tool. The sad part is, do you think we'll see this productivity gain as an opportunity to stop the culture

Oh and it's not just Gemini, I'm sorry. It's Vertex. So it's other models as well. Those you train too.

Doesn't matter much, Google already won the AI race. They had all the eyeballs already. There's a huge reason why they are getting slapped with anti-trust right now. The other companies aren't happy. I agree though, their mar

I've found getting info around stock options at startups is often really hard. It's not very transparent. For example, the total diluted shares isn't shared or sometimes even the current valuation isn't shared. LoL good

Well, they don't always get away with it. Depends on who gets pissed off.

Llama will advance further just like the rest. The leaderboards for llms is just a constantly changing thing. They will all reach a maturity point and be roughly the same. That's probably something we'll see soon in the next 1-3 y

So far from dead. You should look more closely at sites like civitai. These models lead the way in image and video generation. Chatgpt will never come close to touching these. To be frank, OpenAI is probably nearing its death too. Lost all

That is neat, but chatgpt, Gemini, etc. are not even remotely close to being in the same league as models dedicated to image (and video) generation like stable diffusion or Black Forest Labs FLUX, etc. I don't think they ever will be e
