That's just all models though. They're not 100% accurate.

Couldn't they just grab and run an open weight model to save on API tokens?

Opus 5 generates really good code and terminal commands though. It's just bad at the accompanying text it tells you. These benchmarks don't grade the text generation of the response I don't think, only the task outcome.

The bigger issue is weak competition. When a few companies dominate a market, they can raise prices, suppress wages, and capture more of the gains from economic growth. That is also a big part of why wealth has become so concentrated at the

Currently AGI has been re-defined mostly as "can do any tasks (of the same modality) a human can, equal or better". I feel the "equal or better" includes properties like how fast they can get the task done, not just that

I might go Steam Machine route in the PS6 era, I know it's technically same on Steam, but they have at least been much better at not rug pulling, and there are easier way to circumvent things on a Linux/PC machine. Unless Sony cha

You're conflating the goal with the approach. If the goal is to bring back or grow US manufacturing, the question is whether the current tariffs are an effective way to accomplish that relative to their trade offs. From the evidence so

Jank is Clojure hosted on C++/LLVM, and Jolt is Clojure hosted on Chez Scheme. Jank compiles to C++, C/C++ interrop is direct, you just import and use any C/C++ library directly as if you were coding in C/C++. There'

If you consider all AI generated text or code slop, then sure, the project's code is AI generated. But in my case I think there are levels. In this case, the author has the expertise needed to properly design the work and assess the qu

I'm a Jolt user and active Clojure user, and I'd say you're right in a sense. The caveat is that this isn't typical AI slop. The author knows the subject deeply, designed the system themselves, has extensive Clojure test

You're just saying quantity is not always a desirable quality. That's true, and hence it's not every use-case that would favor quantity over other qualities. But there also exists those which do, and trading other qualities f

Without acknowledgment and credit, I totally agree. Also, I think it might be patentable, just not copyrightable, though it can be pretty tricky to get a patent in software approved.

I can see that, but I don't see the negative connotation if it's meant as just saying there are norms, rules, slangs, etc. As long as those are not exclusionary of outsiders. The latter is how I always thought of gatekeeping, you

Ah interesting, it does say probably, so seems it's not fully confirmed. In any case, I guess my brain re-interpreted it in the context of manufacturing and making products and remembered it as that.

There's a quote I forgot that says: "There is a Quality to Quantity". I think it was from a Chinese person, as they took manufacturing of cheap things, low quality stuff, but managed to scale it to mass quantities. I agree wi

I'd agree with the OP you are responding, what he means is that this isn't just about taste. It's that the code, while it works, and the text, while it has the ideas in it, is still not to the level of a human author. It'

Is it gatekeeping in this case? Would they not allow beginners to join and learn? Are they not fully sharing the knowledge to anyone who's interested to learn it? To me, it amounts more to disapproving showing up to a handmade sweater

I think that's true, but I'm not sure if this would characterize itself as "lifting ideas". I mean, it's one thing to personally take the idea and re-implement it yourself elsewhere. But I have to believe there coul

Impressive, you can really do a lot on a single node when it comes to big-data queries nowadays, I agree too many jump straight to a Spark cluster or something similar when you can just write a small script on a single node.
