Knock-off tokens from a replica router, that's hilarious. "If you look closely, the logo says Clod."

It should have been "eight reasons to use std::simd". Inefficient.

If you're afraid of buying derivatives from a trustworthy party that may have contractual obligations with Anthropic, but them from a trustworthy party that doesn't. If they expected a $100 post-IPO price one year from now, they&#

If you trust the other party, you can always write a derivative contract. If the other party was long, their position is closed. If they weren't, they're short now.

This would have been better as a "spoiler alert."

Not to mention the cost of the gold-plated audiophile cables to wire it...

The true argument is about quantity - of people, not code. All qualitative arguments are missing the point.

Even after we've all retired (pretty soon for those who can afford it) or transitioned out of software engineering (for those who can't), we'll still get to amuse each other with home-brew projects like this. Warm fuzzy feeli

I harbor some hope that the (sad) fall of human SWEs will at least be accompanied by language defragmentation. We don't need 38 systems languages once human taste is mostly out of the picture.

Did you upgrade the tool binaries? I also couldn't see it until after the upgrade.

I don't have any anecdotal data, just detecting a whiff of a possible pattern in your statement. DDoS is bots. Any chance the prevalent discourse is bots? "I ain't saying she a gold digger..."

I don't disagree. However, if we change nothing, one likely alternative outcome is planet of 100 trillionaires, 10000 concubines, and an ever-shrinking ghetto of scavenging paupers. The solution is to turn the un-meritocratic nature of

Yep. I think the idea that the benchmark is determinative is just as deluded as the notion that it should be unbreakable. Benchmarks are on the honor system. Even the tightest benchmark can be cheated. If the benchmark is so secret and air-

This is an odd choice of a thread for a laundry list of complaints about AI and about a person that, say what you will, is nowhere near the list of planetary "really bad guys". Even if we limit it to tech, the list starts with som

I understand the temptation to Streisand this, but for the love of, please don't. S1/2 were the best show I've seen on TV. It would be a crime against good taste.

Suits in agriculture don't drive the combine either, a farmer does. The other 99% of pre-automation farmers went on to other jobs. They happened to be better jobs than farming, but that's not necessarily always the case.

> could we say it’s beyond AGI at least in cybersecurity? AGI is like the Holy Grail. Either in the Arthurian Hero's Journey sense, or in the sense of having been a myth all along.

Same background as you, and same exact experience as you. Opus and Gemini have not come close to Codex for C++ work. I also run exclusively on xhigh. Its handling of complexity is unmatched. At least until next week when Mythos and GPT 6 th

Yep, I think the lede might be buried here and we're probably cooked (assuming you mean SWEs, but the writing has been on the wall for 4 months.) I guess I'm still excited. What's my new profession going to be? Longer term, a

I kind of think that these threads are destined to fossilize quickly. Most every syllogism about LLMs from 2024 looks quaint now. A more interesting question is whether there's really a future for running a coding agent on a non-highes

I think AI "slop" will improve medical diagnoses dramatically. Let's assume for a second that the first specialist did not graduate at the top of their class. The year is 2030, when LLMs are more pervasive. The first speciali

Love this. I guess there was no application for "Me not that kind of Orc"? That's the best one, but maybe it has hints of homophobia.
