I don't share your opinion. With no deeper knowledge to the matter, it is pretty senseless to speculate. "Numbers from GPT Astra" - well, well... Currently roughly 1000 engineers are working on Google Chrome. GTA 6 has around

DevOps and infrastructure, Security. Internal tools is correct, but speed, video quality as well as sound seems so easy. Google is responsible for many compression algorithms and standards - byproducts so to say. And they are top notch. I h

What is your use case? Your business model? There is no "one harness". I don't feel your pain. I know, what quality has to be ensured, what's within boundaries and what not etc. I work for price sensitive industries and

Tell us everything, what happens on tour stays on tour - sure. Just approve that your data is - of course - anonymously used to train AI and regarding intelligence agencies or AI Acts: well, it is not us, it is them. Law is law, you know. W

"It is all just for your safety." and other excuses. Don't get me wrong, I think it is viable by Anthropic to do so, it is a business decision. Nevertheless the reasons sound contrived and mask the demand for such a lucrative

Maybe check in the other direction as well: Astra to Fable. I frequently simply let one of the three review what something that looks like awesome output by one AI gets totally annihilated by the other. Finished outputs are easier to improv

Hayes modems were pretty much the crème de la crème back then. I never heard of them since the CompuServe and AOL times.

Exactly. See TikTok trouble as example and quite honestly, try a local open source LLM and ask it to use profanity, paint nudes - the LLM doesn’t answer the question of it is from OpenAI or Google. The thing is that needs more attention is

How large are your projects? What kind of? Just curious. No right or wrong answer possible.

Did you study math? I did and I cannot relate to your comparison. Mathematics isn’t about calculating numbers but formulas and proves. I have to put it politely: until the advent of AI no machine ever “calculated” a formula for me, because

Serious question: how widespread and actually used in production is Zod? Honestly, it made things worse for me. JavaScript isn’t a statistical typed language and TypeScript already is something, where due to compiler issues I just use “any”

Hotkey usage means speed. Ironically you hinder people using their capabilities to the fullest. It also works in the other direction. And I agree with you: Vibe Coding literally automagically includes it, and I had the notion, that you must

This is an interesting ACID test, because at its root hotkeys as they are usually called, are a graph structure. And LLMs struggle a lot with kind of complexity - as we all do at a certain level, if we don't visualize it i.e. using pap

You are absolutely right. In fact with the hit on men’s sexual ability sometimes or often times you could consider this a hit hot (very sinister framing) on the practical side, having in the best case no anxiety and being able to meet peopl

I don't get the EU reference in any sense: "The company was founded in 2016 by French entrepreneurs Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond, and Thomas Wolf in New York City, originally as a company that developed a chatbot app targeted

RAG is art. I have a very straight forward setup that is highly modular. RAG is routing and decision making. I found so much joy in achieving the best results given the requirements than simply hoping for the best with the cool kid called v

The trick are tax deductions. I wouldn’t recommend buying any bare metal unless money is a second thought or you can fully deduct the price. Most often in the end you pay half the price then. Depending on the write offs you could even make

I like the pundits, who sit in their office chair, who never did anything that involves business, not even organized a charity nor event, but want to lecture a maker about how wrong he is and how he can comply with EU regulation. This is th

It is all in the book from Geoffrey Cain "Steve Jobs in Exile". The reason is also pretty simple and a no right or wrong category answer as well a problem why so many devs suffer with AI: the IT departments at the CIA, NSA etc. we

"They don’t know what skills they lack. They don’t even know what skills are required because they haven’t put the effort in." This is it. Evolving into a developer role was more or less directly proportional to the effort you put

Game makers started to utilize Moore’s Law and produced games, that required actual hardware. During the 00ish years it felt like your system gets killed by a new game. With the advent of the online update some game makers went way to far,

Roughly two years ago suddenly Hassabis was heavily promoted on all Google YouTube channels. It was to fight ChatGPT and promote Gemini. I think the guy does a very poor job or is simply not the right guy to appear as public figure for Gemi

I registered my first domain 1997 and before that already coded websites: members.aol.com/…/ I saw the inception of CSS, the infamous ACID test, IE6, web standards movement - anything and everything. To this day, CSS is something

Off topic: Just some thx and kudos to you guys. I used Promptpoo at the beginning of the year - it was exactly, what I needed, very much still a niche thing hardly anyone was using. I totally missed the acquisition - but well deserved. I am

I understand Codeberg's standpoint. From their point of view I think it is only reasonable to sticking to your guns as well as mentioning, that at the end of the day there is no free lunch and LLM coding may be bloat to them. I know th

I agree with you. Victimhood par excellence: "My brain is a 200+ IQ machine desperately waiting for input. However, I cannot feed it! It is the walls, I guess." It should be legally enforced to place every author's smartphone

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong here. Math is something humans invented and is a model, nothing else. There is no logic per se, but a model that works quite well for us. I studied Math and CS as a very highly gifted and quickly found o

Hm, I use Facebook twice a year, to thank folks for my b-day greetings and for checking my account. Some with Insta. I am not the least addicted to it. I suspended TikTok, because it is of low value. YouTube is useful - only with the subscr

I’m with you on this, though I feel a conflict within myself: on one hand, the nostalgic attachment to that raw, "in-the-trenches" coding culture; on the other, the realization that building a proprietary engine is often completel
