What if I live for, say, decades before dying. Surely the lender expects some some amount of repayment before then.

Presumably it means that software doesn’t have to write the same sort of layer offloading support. It’ll “just work” as if you had X GB of VRAM all along.

So your answer to restoring trust is to create a kangaroo court in the opposite direction?

I'm not a fan. But what Anthropic SHOULD have done is use plain ol' SSO. Google, GitHub, Microsoft, etc. logins with the option to do this magic link stuff. The third party auth providers would use passkeys at the user's disc

The definition of "works on my system."

This seems like a tremendous amount of planning, babysitting, verification, and token cost just to avoid writing code and tests yourself.

Aren’t all these developed countries voluntarily self-depopulating by way of having birth rates below replacement? Seems like the problem will sort itself out if we can resist the urge to invite the entire third world to come in and instant

That doesn’t sound very reassuring. 3205 hours, or a little over a year at 8 hours a day. Be generous and call it two years of use. You’re babying it with low brightness, dynamic dimming, etc. etc. and the fact that there’s anything, even i

So are you learning a trade? Or do you somehow think you’ll be one of the developers “good enough” to remain employed?

It's less than you'd think. I'm using the 35B-A3B model on an A5000, which is something like a slightly faster 3080 with 24GB VRAM. I'm able to fit the entire Q4 model in memory with 128K context (and I think I would pro

The best container security in the world isn’t going to help you when the agent has credentials to third party services. Frankly, I don’t think bad actors care that much about exploiting agents to rm -rf /. It’s much more valuable to h

Yeah, I do use agentic coding a good bit. It’s impressive, but not so much that I’ve convinced myself that my days are numbered.
