It doesn’t need to be perfect - it just needs to be as effective as a human CEO… luckily, many human CEOs suck at their job

At a certain point, can a judge just please rule that Meta has lost its right to do business in the United States? It repeatedly ignores rulings and has lost credibility when it claims that it will change its practices. I don't see why

I have bought every generation of Xbox since the original (I had it in 2005). This is a dealbreaker for me. Won’t be buying their next gen system.

My rule is: I only let AI code for me, I don’t let it think for me. Since writing is thinking, coding is thinking since coding is writing. That means any time I am not certain how I’m gonna implement some feature or bug fix, I have to code

Yall are missing my point - you don’t gotta replace the upper management - they will continue to hold the responsibility for outcomes and problems like they do today. There will just be like 75% fewer of those individuals because they all c

Can someone make an AI agent to target automating tasks of upper management already so they feel the pain as well? You don’t need to even replace them outright, just make your agent so effective that [big tech company] requires fewer VPs an

Great piece, but it misses the elephant in the room: the lion's share of economic benefit from refactoring will come from the fact that it makes it easier for humans to understand. That means 3am pages get resolved faster, fewer bugs w

Claude code? Who’s talking about Claude code? I am talking about generative AI. It has been better than humans at coding for years . It is also currently much better at things like taste, stakeholder communication, and literally everything

The final user-facing responses are usually a tiny fraction of the total tokens used over the course of a given conversation turn. When you're doing any real work, reasoning and tool uses constitute the overwhelming majority of the tok

This guy's head will explode when he realizes that AI has been better at coding than humans for years and yet software engineering employment % has barely twitched...

If you want to fully understand / contribute to / fully leverage the most powerful technology humanity has ever devised (AI), you must learn to read and write code. That’s the only reason anyone should need.

If you used a time machine to go back to 2021 and showed someone the best open source LLMs from 2026 they would surely say “yeah that’s AGI”

This is the way. But also - keep your head up - your mindset matters more than you think. If you consider yourself a victim of your circumstances with no agency, this will be harder for you. So get your mentality right. Something along the

The way I think of it has evolved a lot over the last 5 years. At this point I think human brains probably do something analogous to next token prediction when we think. For all the hype, I think LLMs are actually more , not less, intellig

at a certain point you're gonna need to change your benchmark because this will end up in the model's training set

I wish I could upvote this twice. We (devs) really REALLY need to consider on-device compute before going to the cloud for LLM inference.

by holtkam2 4mo ago
IDK if the author's 'metacognition' needs to be a feature of the LLM itself. I could imagine a harness that 1) reads LLM output 2) uses a research sub-agent to attempt to verify any factual claims 2) rephrase the main agent&#

No, I'm not considering a career change. But my career will change. I started off as a javacript developer. Then I was a full stack SWE. Then I was an Applied AI Engineer. I think enterprises will have a need for folks with technical e

Someone tell me if my idea is dumb: You know how adding ".ai" to your company name / domain name increases your valuation an order of magnitude or whatever? Well has anyone tried chaining .ai's to their company name...

This article forgot the strongest argument for hand writing your code. When the process is done, you understand it at a depth far beyond any vibe coder who created the same thing

To answer your question directly: yes I am bored of talking about AI. I think it’s funny how the folks who are screaming most loudly about their AI expertise typically have not built anything of value with it. They are so focused on the too

Are you telling me juniors aren’t facing hard problems anymore? I doubt that’s the case. They’re probably banging their heads against the wall trying to understand why this or that doesn’t work… just as they always had before. AI isn’t a ma

Never - data centers will always offer more power if you only care about raw inference speed. HOWEVER I think that we'll reach the 'good enough' bar super soon. In 2-3 years I expect apple macs to be able to run a model as &#

At the end of the day you need humans who understand the business critical (or safety critical) systems that underpin the enterprise. Someone needs to be held accountable when things go wrong. Someone needs to be able to explain to the CEO
