I believe it's already well accepted in these labs that we're in the Singularity. It happened on a Tuesday back in February. No one seemed to really notice and life went on... for now.

Of course the government should own everything! How stupid of us for assuming that's a bad idea.

The OP said "as capable as the frontier cloud models are today" which might assume model improvements that do more with less. Opus 4.7/Gpt5.5 performance might be achievable with a fraction of the parameters.

I think it's pretty obvious what category you see yourself in. I don't think you're a hacker. I think you enjoy writing code (good for you). Some of us just enjoy making the computer execute our ideas - like a digital magicia

This statement feels like a farmer making a case for using their hands to tend the land instead of a tractor because it produces too many crops. Modern farming requires you to have an ecosystem of supporting tools to handle the scale and yo

He's alluded to thinking that Asians and Indians are "better" on some metrics so supremacy still seems a bit sensationalist. He certainly doesn't think all races are equal.

This is temporary. AI models have their own Moore's law. Yes the mega corps will have the best models but soon enough what is currently SOTA will be open source and run on your own local machine if you want. the mega corps are getting

This just seems like an engineered pipeline of existing GenAI to get a 3d procedurally generated world that doesn't even look SOTA. I'm really sorry to dunk on this for those that worked on it, but this doesn't look like prog

A valid rationalization but never an excuse. At some point the buck has to stop being passed around. Standing up to all instances of violence is the only way to stop the endless cycles.

Pixi has also been such a breathe of fresh air for me. I think it's as big of a deal as UV (It uses UV under the hood for the pure python parts). It's still very immature but if you have a mixture of languages (C, C++, Python, Rus

Well you should tell that to Dell because I have coworkers with a range of their models that are constantly fighting with webcams, audio, bluetooth, wifi, and Nvidia driver updates.

I used to be in this camp until I tried and bought an M1 Macbook as my daily driver. I thought I was going to be Thinkpad/XPS w/ Linux until I die. I don't love MacOS but POSIX is mostly good enough for me and the hardware is

Is this available to use now in Codex? Should I see a new /model?

(2) Seems like a media narrative rather than truth. I don't think that would be anywhere remotely high on a CEO's priority list unless they were a commercial real estate company. It's far more likely a mixture of (1) and actu

It would be interesting to see two versions of a model. A primary model tuned for precision that's focused on correctness that works with or orchestrates a creative model that's tuned for generating new (and potentially incorrect)

I took a quick informal poll of my coworkers and the majority of us have found workflows where CC is producing 70-99% of the code on average in PRs. We're getting more done faster. Most of these people tend to be anywhere from 5-12 yrs

My parents could have said your first paragraph when I tried to teach them they could Google their questions and find answers. Technology moves forward and productivity improves for those that move with it.

Seems short sighted to me. LLMs could have any data in their training set encoded as tokens. Either new specialized tokens are explicitly included (e.g: Vision models) or the language encoded version of everything that usually exists (e.g:

You're right. It's time to ban the evil numbers from being matrix multiplied. Contact your local representative about CPU control.

And LLM memories are stored in an electrical charge trapped in a floating gate transistor (or as magnetization of a ferromagnetic region on an alloy platter). Or they write CLAUDE.md files. Whatever you want to call it.

It's a completely unsurprising cause and effect. What other outcome would you expect? This is a business functioning as it should.

He hit his max borrowing limit? Can we just discuss the facts rather than making stuff up to talk about our favorite narratives?

I believe it's quite easy to look at any humans actions and cherry pick a narrative of malfeasance or malice if that's what you're looking for. Musk does a lot of things at a very high level publicly so I think it's an e

Game Maker is what started it all for me over 20 years ago. Once I picked up the scripting language Python and Lua quickly followed. I think I owe my entire career in software to this program.
