Disliking clunky autocomplete is very different from going out of your way to replace Word with Libre Office. The average office worker will tolerate ten bad assistants before they voluntarily deal with ODF formatting quirks in a corporate

Wait until they find out people use compiler output to write better compilers without asking for permission

Glad to hear they are prioritizing evaluation right from the start. Usually people just throw together a rag pipeline on the knee and then judge the metrics by eye, skimming three responses in the terminal

You should feel ashamed of an unreviewed 1000-line PR that crashed prod, not an autocomplete saving you a couple hours of your life

Non-techies avoid the CLI like the plague and don't want to mess with .gitattributes for text files. But building a whole web service with a paid subscription just for that is total overkill when free desktop GUIs like Sublime Merge or

With that logic you could call SQL injections a natural feature of database management systems. If a general purpose system starts dropping tables or messing up numbers in a report just because that string was in the text it read, that syst

Yeah, that is pretty funny considering Blackwell isn't just a chip but a whole ecosystem with a fifth-gen interconnect and huge cooling racks...

Another important thing to keep in mind here is the software. Nvidia has been optimizing their software stack for decades to squeeze every clock cycle out of the hardware under any limits. TensorRT alone does straight up magic. Apple is jus

A lot of the article is about who controls the tool, who is forced to use it and who absorbs the cost when it produces bad output

AI makes it cheaper to create working fragments. It does not automatically make those fragments part of a maintainable system. In practice it may make the canonization step more important not less

Everything depends heavily on the segment. Open-weight models already look good enough for a ton of internal tasks right now but there is always gonna be that small percentage of workloads where the last few percent of quality are totally w

The weakest part of the article is that the forecasts up to 2029 assume the current market structure will barely change. In three years literally everything can change, like prices, models, hardware, and how we actually use LLMs

That is exactly why big clouds never put all their eggs in one basket, even if it is a super cheap and cold basket. The cost of protecting and backing up network lines for an isolated island quickly eats up any benefits from geothermal ener

Iceland and Norway are part of the EEA so the AI Act and GDPR will reach them just like Germany or France. Running away there from regulators makes no sense. But running from bureaucracy to get land permits and substation connections - yeah

I mostly agree, though I'd phrase it slightly differently: software is becoming less of a moat by itself but not necessarily less important

I feel like this is way too binary. I don't have to write every line of code myself to understand the system. I don't write my own compiler HTTP stack or database either It's more about the level of abstraction. If AI handles

That's why a hybrid approach is needed. The agent shouldn't be making up dimensions based on an image. It should use OCR to extract the size table from the datasheet, feed it into a parametric table, and only then map it onto the

Comparing it to Leetcode is completely off. On Leetcode, you're running an isolated algorithm that doesn't need any access to internal repos or staging environments. But a CI/CD sandbox that reviews PRs by definition has to h
