   There's definitely a saturation point depending on the complexity of the problem you're solving. For example, any model can write a small shell script to resize a video with ffmpeg for you right now, so it doesn't matter whet

   The anger doesn't come from the internet, which is just an outlet. What's driving the anger is the decline in living standards as more and more people are pushed to the brink economically. Majority of the population is barely maki

   Except that capitalist competition is precisely what leads to centralization and concentration of capital. The way competition works is that winners grow making it harder for new players to enter the market. You need more up front capital t

   It demonstrably is not for the vast majority of the population. Also, the fact that economy was state owned absolutely was not the major reason for its collapse. But I guess you might think that if you haven't spent any time actually l

   I mean that the private sector is the main driving force of the American economy. Companies exist to create profit for their owners and shareholders with any social good they produce being strictly incidental. The purpose of work is to crea

   I realize it's hard for people to read, but the US is headed for a USSR style collapse, except that it is going to be much worse than 90s Russia due to utter lack of built-in resilience. People in the Soviet Union lived in state owned

   Again, I'm not aware of any credible scientific basis for the position that consciousness is some sort of a field which is a product of quantum processes. The most plausible explanation is that it is encoded in the pattern of electroch

    The entire context for this discussion is that these patterns are being implemented in artificial neural networks. Also, a pattern by its very nature implies that it can, in fact, be expressed as an algorithm. There is zero basis for the su

    You're just doing sophistry here. There are patterns in the brain that form which allow it to model the world and make predictions about it. If we can understand the nature of these patterns and implement them in a different substrate,

    Exactly, it'd be the same as regular chip designed evolving. You get a specific model version baked into the chip, if it does what you need then it's fine. If you need more capability in the future, you just buy a new chip. I also

    Reverse engineering how algorithms in the brain work is a really promising path towards making genuine AI systems which would make the current crop of LLMs obsolete.

    I was thinking how it would be interesting to make an environment where instead of LLM just crapping out a bunch of code really fast, it works more like a pair programming exercise going at human speed. The LLM would explain what it's

    This whole situation is very reminiscent of how Microsoft was trying to get Linux and open source banned when NT started losing market share on the server.

    Ah yes, voting is always effective. Thank goodness people in Germany kept voting in the early 1930s. Imagine what terrible things might have happened if they hadn't.

    I look at what the model is doing in the loop and whether the harness is catching cases such as the model having to write scripts to balance parens, whether it's trying to do the same thing over and over again, and all the other cases

    I haven't really seen anybody come up with a good test to show hard numbers on comparing agentic harnesses. It's a bit tricky to set up a definitive test given the whole non deterministic nature of LLMs. What I've been focusi

    Thanks, glad to hear the harness is actually doing its job with smaller models on your end. There definitely seems to be a limit of how small a model can get before it can't do any practical work. I find I tend to view agentic coding s

    This is precisely what I've been working on targeting with https://dirge-code.github.io/ I've written up an explanation of what trips small models ups and how the harness can address that here https://y

    Can't wait to see what GLM 6.0 is gonna be like. So glad I got their subscription back when they had a discount at $250 a year. At the time, I really wasn't terribly impressed with 5.1, but now with 5.2 it's good enough for m

    I expect this will be a far more consequential loss than Vietnam for the US in the long run. This has been a spectacular defeat and likely means the US will be forced to exit from the region because everybody can see now that American bases

    Also, we’re seeing a classic commoditization spiral with open models rapidly closing the gap and driving prices towards the marginal cost of inference. The reality is that models themselves are general commodities and there's just not

    It's by far the most competent open model I've tried yet. It's a bit slower than Claude, but in terms of coding capability it seems to get comparable results at least for the work I'm doing.
