> educational moment for seniors teaching juniors You see, this is no longer necessary - companies are firing all the non-seniors, are not hiring any juniors, and delegating everything to AI. This is the future apparently!

If one thinks about this problem deeply, and the current solution of showing ads, you may realize that micro transactions are already “implemented”. Ads are paid for by the advertiser as mille-impressions (or conversion, etc), which works w

The solution is called centralization by a middle man that takes a massive cut - eg YouTube Premium. Only Google makes real money off that, and the content creators rely on sponsors instead for their own revenue. So does it really work? I w

This post appears to essentially be an ad for Allium, so I’m gonna focus on that. I don’t fully understand how allium solves the inherent issues with markdown, i.e. free-form language specs. It appears to have some loose syntactical rules,

I see it as proof that a subcontinent doesn’t necessarily need to be centralized into a single country. Colonization unnecessarily made that happen, and there’s no going back now.

No, that wastes actual GPU resources and money. The method I described saves them money on the cheaper pool. Regardless, I sense you’re being sarcastic and difficult, so I have no desire to discuss this further.

But it’s actually not so difficult is it? The simplest way to make a slow pool is by having fewer GPUs and queuing requests for the non-premium users. Dead simple engineering.

I think this line of questioning leads to what we expect from LLMs. Do we want them to help the user as much as possible, even to their own detriment in edge cases? Or to be more human, and potentially be unable to help for various reasons

Their example usecases are pretty obvious and clear human needs from an LLM. The semantics of system/user messages and how that affects “safety” doesn’t change the need to fix this crucial problem of “in-context learning” that we all h

Unbelievable? It’s unfathomable - out of all existing AI companies, OpenAI is the least open of them all. They have stopped contributing any useful research into the public domain. Even infamous “villains” like Meta and China are doing leap

While probably facetious, those with power (who you aim to smear and replace) will save themselves and work together to fire you ASAP. This is not a winnable battle nor strategy for success, unfortunately.

The business is run by his wife, and if they had a SWE(-like) already, that person would’ve made this. But instead, the husband did and now owns it. He also open sourced it, so he has to live with the inevitable consequences of that too.

Sorry, did anyone think it was somehow magically gated to agents? Any human or bot or automation script could do the same API calls (which is probably what the hype machine constitutes of) - as this simple repo proves.
