It's becoming an increasingly bad time to be hosting anything on your own, having to worry about whichever 0-day the clankers are going to find and/or exploit within minutes of it being patched. I'm not sure even nginx is saf

Just find a better place to go. If you have savings, quit this nonsense and start looking for something else while working on yourself. I just got back to working on a project I like where we don't use any LLMs for code generation beca

I think this sounds fantastic, and I welcome all developments in these types of areas where you lean heavily on the hyper-attentive, very fast assistant aspect of LLMs intended to make information more easily searchable, visible and the res

Early Copilot was tab-complete in editors and was honestly the best version of LLM-assisted development I've used, because it was intentionally small in scope, trivial to verify output from at a glance and easy to opt in and opt out of

Cloudflare doesn't even let my browser (qutebrowser) through. Anubis will sometimes sit and ask for ridiculous amounts of work, but at least it's never outright denied access.

I don't share your enthusiasm for the guardrails and I don't believe at all that they accomplish what they're supposedly created for.

I haven't said anything about "good", I just pointed out that there isn't exactly an alternative to Chinese models if censorship and restrictions are regarded as bad for longevity. You can't really do better than th

US models censor and restrict more things than Chinese models by quite a margin.

This is an incomplete and quite superficial view of what is going on out there, in my opinion. I've worked on plenty of projects where the assumption was that since the round-trip to the server is going to take almost 100ms that'l

Since the influx of people who know basically nothing about anything made that part the majority and it became mostly business hype and pretense.

If you can, just avoid ever entering the US at all.

There is no "evidence"; by any reasonable interpretation of that word there would have to be an actual accusation of crime for there to be evidence of one. This was a search predicated on literally no actual basis apart from &quot

I've found that the Gemma series of models are made for someone entirely different than myself. They fail at even the most basic questions I throw at them, like 12B just now failed at answering how `XGrabKey` from Xlib is used. It hall

How oblivious are people to the world that they think this is somehow strange or hard to believe? Why would they like any of the tech CEOs, or CEOs in general? It's hard to see why basically anyone would at this point.

I see what you're saying, but making things less boring by essentially gambling on the implementation of it is a pretty strange thing to do, in my opinion. Sure, some people legitimately work on things that middle schoolers can put tog

I've worked at two major studios and have seen some terrible code. Neither place had code as terrible as LLMs produce for games, they can't even get non-negotiable basics right a lot of the time.

by 59nadir 1mo ago
Just so everyone who reads this understands; despite the criticism in this comment, it's being incredibly charitable to LLMs in the context of making games. They're not particularly good at it and you wouldn't want most of th

People who don't know things are usually very impressed by solutions that LLMs come up with. I saw one recently that was very impressed that their chosen LLM took screenshots of their vibe coded game to check results, when it's cl

There's also the fact that it's basically vibecoded.

Honestly, I wasn't harsh enough... Though I don't think I could write a better post showing how useless your opinion on things actually is than the one you wrote yourself. And no, I don't think you can have any valuable opini

Well, yeah, it's just good marketing and Bun ultimately doesn't matter anyway, not to the wider ecosystem and especially not to Anthropic. The only purpose Bun had for Anthropic was as a way of getting attention, so that's wh

You, by your own admission, haven't even written a single line of Zig despite having ~31 Zig projects on GitHub. I don't think your knowledge of the language is to be trusted in almost any capacity. This might seem harsh but I don

Both of these are near useless for systems programming and predictable behavior when caring about performance.

Do you have any sources for the claim that LLMs meaningfully help in the production of LLMs?

by 59nadir 3mo ago
Not really. I have one I made for fun where I let LLMs control a text editor called Kakoune, and then give them no other way to do things, to see how they deal with it, but that's not really a scenario I expect them to do well at. So f
