Oh, you're right, I did not look at the date. That explains it and seems to match the timeframe.

In Germany, this seems to be the case for a long time already. I'm not sure if that's really what happened, but a few months ago my son (who's 17) complained that Claude locked him out when he was discussion school work and m

This kind of doomerism seems quite detached from the "real word". Maybe that's what you'd expect from silicon valley tech bros, but as long as manufacturing isn't fully (i.e. no human labor involved) automated, how

When I was in SF the first time some spots seemed weirdly familiar to me. Only later that day I remembered that I probably know them from GTA San Andreas (but maybe also the Full House intro)

EU regulation is basically broken beyond repair. And I used to be the biggest proponent of it. When everyone was being angry that they are taking away light bulbs this was a kick starter for LED lighting and I guess Signify (formerly Philip

This is extremely impressive if it works. But on the other hand, if the number of cases where it works as expected is lower than what we could catch with a (old-Siri-style) heuristics based approach, and the rest fails in unpredictable ways

Interesting. I did not know that. And still they got 15x speedup ( https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/openai-gpt-oss-120b-runs-fastes... ). I wonder how much additional speedup would be possible by really etching the model.

They do this all the time, I'm using ChatGPT in Instant mode and it auto updates to thinking if my question is complex. Most of the time this works. To answer your question: A large language model itself does not know this (afaik). But

They are: https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ My guess is they only consider Luna "good enough" to justify the immense up-front investment to put it onto silicon, but Luna at 10x the current s

Let’s speculate: they want luna to be their first model “on silicon” and need as much test data as possible before finalizing the design.

Why? "Summarize in detail what we're doing here and what we have done/learnt so far so another agent can continue" usually works and does not burn the full context length of tokens (uncached) in the new session.

This is not correct and a common misunderstanding of the court ruling. The verbatim output of an LLM is not copyrightable. If you create a work using an LLM, this IS of course copyrightable.

No. That's the misunderstanding. You are right, I did not solve the problem "how do I need to layout the editor so the chords appear directly above the correct bar". I definitely solved the problem "I don't have a t

People seem to be downvoting you because they don't want it to be this way, but I feel you're absolutely correct and this in inevitable. No matter how we - 2026 - feel about it, this will be the norm for future generations.

Of course. But I have been programming for over 30 years and I know that I cannot be an expert for everything. Besides that, maybe my capacity for thinking won’t grow anymore. But my capacity for solving problems just exploded in the last

How do people imagine the process of creating software with AI? Tell it “I need an app where I can send images to friends” and accept the first result? In your analogy, what I’m talking about is more like talking to a chef with the idea of

Let’s not argue about the meaning of “making”, but that’s a very limited view of how value is created. So in your view the producer or even the director of a movie cannot take pride in it because the actors are the ones doing the work?

by planb 2mo ago
But that’s just arguing about the meaning of the word “make” now. The real discussion does not seem to be about words though but about value. If you find vibe-coded software worthless, you value the process and work that went into it more

by planb 2mo ago
I know many people agree but I can’t really follow this sentiment. I can still take pride in something I “made” with an LLM even if I did not write a single line of code for it. I wouldn’t show it around and proclaim what a great programmer

I’m not sure it’s so simple. I went on a trip with friends this weekend and cut a video from all the short clips we filmed on our phones. Before AI I would have used some song from my music library as the background tune. This time I create

I have good results with this prompt after every larger change: Now do a final code check. Is everything tidy and do the components adhere to the principle of separations-of-concerns. Is everything in an understandable and maintainable stat

Sound like snake oil. How would this work? The app that the agent is developing needs access to the file, so access to it cannot be blocked. Just because read_file can not access it (I think current harnesses prevent reading .env files alre

Sometimes I have weird fantasies about a post apocalyptic world where factories burned down and people have to live with the tech that’s available. No network, just off site solar power or generators, only local devices. I think it’s intere

This is not about information but about capital. Even if we had free access to the weights of the best models in the world: who would be able to run them?

If that’s true, then it will be even cheaper to provide them as a subscription. Following your logic, every company would be running their own data centers instead of using cloud providers.

This will not happen. None of the existing apps people use daily on their phones have any incentive to support this. Social media wants the people to doomscroll, shopping apps and booking sites want to use their own dark patterns to make pe

You're absolutely right! "Why Does This Matter?" was a dead giveaway that this article was not written by a human — it was written by a large language model. But really: "Why does this matter?" When looking at an ar

But there is interesting information in lots of the comments. Like the quote from Ternus about Apple Maps in one of the comments. This gives relevant insight of how he thinks and how he might handle problems when he takes over.

I’m not doing that. That would be like giving my child shell access to my system.
