Depends on where you work... where I happen to work people sit in Jira meetings all day and in the time they talk about it my team implements it. So yes "literally everyone has access to it" (what a revelation) but you still need

That’s not what we are empirically seeing though. There is also no way of knowing that things can’t be progressing for the next 5 years. No foundational model company would be spending the amount they are on research if they thought it wasn

What would possibly tell you that?

Off in the sense that he shouldn’t be running the company?

It was always benchmaxxed

It does because you can now just steamroll features out the door and make everyone look bad that’s sitting around in meetings all day

You do still need to know though, different prompts have different affects on them.

It’s basically because LLMs supersede all of these. The ability to reason, research, and write code applies to everything else and will speed up the innovation cycles there significantly. Google is losing in the race that really matters

So crazy, at one point they had 3 different systems for interacting with Gemini, all with different auth. For a company that prides themselves on the smartest engineers, they really struggle with the basics

Oh that built on a bunch of ideas that weren’t far off. It was a great discovery but like many it’s standing in tall shoulders

Quantization also started picking up around then, as well as distillation into smaller models

Love monarch, amazing primitives and feels so much lighter than Ray. Another awesome add on their part

did you look cool using it though?

Can't believe people actually still think this

I know that but they also said Cerebras

This is why you should always distill your models from a competitor. Let them take on the liability

Sol is running on Cerebras right?

Yeah this is such a funny thing going around. Try to run or train a small/medium sized model on a MacBook. It doesn’t go very good compared to a dedicated gpu This is likely the right path in the future but it isn’t there yet today

The best thing to ever happen to the software world was Oracle buying Sun and consequently Java. Java was great at its time but then had to go. Oracle gaining control over them sped up this process. Poor Android got caught up and now half o

Do they have backwards compatibility guarantees? Otherwise what are we doing here?

I feel this way about most Hashi tools, they just seem massively overrated to me. Ghostty is fine I guess, I find it to be way buggier than iterm with a fraction of the features. Zig is fine, has some cool stuff, the community seems roughly

There was just a study showing that when presented blindly no one could tell the difference yet users were avid they could

Agree, I think there was just a blind study that showed no one could tell the difference even though the users were avid they could

I looked into this a bit but unfortunately because of starlink most of this won’t be needed

With a lot of software getting eaten up I’m increasingly interested in biology. Seems like one of the later frontiers that could have massive benefits, and AI is really well suited to help us understand it.

The new frontier! I love it

How does this compare to the CRIU work? Or does it use that under the hood?

Corruption is what kills countries. Our inability to stop this is a very bad sign about our future.

You are really comparing this to Watson?? If you can fully automate software you are fully missing the point of everything you can do with that and how valuable it is
