IFF I can replace some of what I almost never use my iPad for with this, it _might_ be worth that price tag. I'm on the fence! I do like a bigger but not too big screen for movies on planes etc.

The critique isn't broken. If the model cannot count letters in a word what happens when it needs to do something akin to counting the letters in a word? I believe it could easily write a tool to count the letters in a word for frequen

It matters under the lens of AGI. Artificial intelligence that can meet or exceed human intelligence. Sure, it's good at some things but rather limited at others. Breadth of capabilities matters... and a promotional video is nice and

I don't understand why you're being downvoted... that's literally the definition of AGI.

It comes and goes... My point is we're not near AGI.

People need to stop redefining and trying to capture the term AGI. None of this is AGI. Not even close. Can it do things an AGI could do? Yeah some of it, but the difference really matters. These things still regularly fail, and gasligh

I don’t care about the cost if the results are weak. I did a bunch of work with Sol only to find Opus 5 spot a bunch of bugs. And it was correct. The results weren’t as good as they should have been for Sol. How am I going to trust Luna?

True. But it’s a technological representation of all that’s wrong with the industry.

When it comes to Itanium all I can think of is how I wish I could have an Alpha. And how no one should care about Itanium. It’s the product of companies bent on doing all the wrong things.

C led to an atrophy of assembly muscles. Though this is mostly different. A spec is NOT CODE. Someone still needs to understand what the code means. C optimizers are not the same as the radical departure of an LLM.

I used sonnet five today to evaluate work I’m doing on an experimental programming language with an interesting concurrency model. I asked it to try to figure out why one of the examples wasn’t working. It read the implementation of the com

The same thing I've been concerned about for years. These things can sound extremely confident and be wrong. If you're out of your depth with these tools, you'll find a "trustworthy sounding partner" who's bas

I've worked at a place that used this abomination called "Jira Align"... I think I'd rather do my own dental work without anesthetic.

I recall thinking about these things quite a bit when reading Michael Abrash back in the 90s. How much of that advice applies to anything these days is questionable. Back then we used to squeeze as much as possible from every clock cycle.

Have always been fond of Oberon! I would love to have A2/ActiveOberon/BlueBottle or whatever the name of the day is on a small native machine as well. Great Stuff!

XML was once like violence... if you're not getting the results you wanted you should just use more of it. We do not need to go back to that. XML is a step backwards to what was already a step backwards.

I wonder if this kind of architecture would be fun to build an L4 microkernel based system with. Context switching and message passing (synchronous anyway) are the same thing when you consider how rendezvous works. BLWP instructions seem li

It made coding way different for me. I'm able to get a proof-of-concept for an idea up pretty quick, and then I have to go back and decide if I like the style it produced. I feel more like a software producer or director than an engin

I think this is how IBM is making tons of money on mainframes. A lot of what people are doing with cloud can be done on premises with the right levels of virtualization. https://intellectia.ai/news/stock/ibm-mainf
