In the past it seemed there was routing based on context-length. So the model was always the same, but optimized for different lengths. Is this still the case?

The reality is that Copilot’s laughable performance is almost entirely unrelated to AI models not being good at X. Every single thing Copilot does has been solved much better by other products. However, Copilot fails in extremely ridiculous

Apple is terrible. I have to install xcode for whatever reason but do not want to use it. Yet every week it assigns itself as default program for all sorts of files, from markdown to python modules. So clicking on pretty much anything opens

They indicate that this is something engineers want. Further, half of the 3000 with transition back to engineering, indicating that they think they will be more valuable as engineers. Middle management has this self-replicating dynamic of b

Firstly, management and leadership are not the same thing. Giving direction is the job of a leader. Managers, just like anyone else, are rarely good leaders. They are more likely to give the wrong direction and vision than ICs, given that t

A weakness of European companies is that with very few exceptions, there is no equivalent IC role to managerial roles beyond maybe junior management. There are companies that promise this, but it is rarely done. For whatever reason, managem

While you are not wrong, many of the cases I observed had managers from all over the world. I think it's just a symptom. As a manager, you contribute nothing by yourself. You are useful if you have a useful team (ICs) with a good proje

Many large corporations in Europe, especially in sectors of prior consistent growth and profit, are chock full of too many managers. These are people who primarily create work for themselves and each other. I have sat in meetings about meet

Very interesting assertion that these would be the most familiar opening lines of any poem in the 20th century. Even if one only read English poems, as the author did, how about Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not tra

Yes however speaking allows flexibility in communication, dynamics that text does not support and, crucial if there is no alignment, nonverbal communication. It is much much easier to build trust in person, which is important for efficient

Well done America, you made your neighboring country work on insurgency tactics because an imperialistic attack from you is now a real possibility. Think about that a second.

Even though it’s marketing, i think they should not be allowed to call it sovereign. Perhaps one could sue them for that.

You know that your president is about to put the head of the federal reserve in prison on trumped up charges? The US is not s country with rule of law anymore. It is a country that is rules by power.

This is hilarious Since it is a US company, it is still subject to cloud act, US intelligence full access, and Trumps ability to ignore any and all laws and contracts. Microsoft execs, who have similar offerings, have confirmed this under o

Very cool, kudos Where might one see more about what type of indexing you do to get the graph?

Just to be clear: the US has already done this. All we can do is face the facts and pick up the pieces.

This is because Europeans can not listen. Microsoft executives under oath said that they will not be able to honor those contracts if there is pressure from the US administration. We should know this, but we keep forgetting: laws, contracts

Have not checked for a while, but does AMD at this point have any software to run stable and efficiently? Or are they still building chips no one wants to use because cuda is the only thing that doesn’t suck balls

This reads like the handbook for people making grind-based games. Sure enough, the author exclusively works in the mmorpg space. If you are a game designer, please take this with a grain of salt. Fun does not equal repeated challenges. And

The OpenAI numbers are a red herring anyway. For most plans, Deep Research is capped at around 20 sources, making it for many cases the least useful research agent, in particular worse than a thinking mode Gpt5 query

Yes you are. I can show you 15 line SQL queries you would be hard pressed to understand, let alone built with precision as a novice And you want everyone to learn this? People who don’t even have time or ability to master excel? Really?
