Doing anything right on web is 10x harder and more complex. The problem is the browser, once you use it to deliver anything you have to buy into all of it’s bullshit. CORS, XSS, headers, caching. All that just goes away (outside your backen

Maybe Dario shouldn’t have tried for regulatory capture. He was constantly on the news talking about how these models are so dangerous and that we need regulation to keep China from releasing open-source models without guardrails.

I agree. It would be neat to see a matrix of compile times vs. language features, showing things like: - Bounds checks - UAF prevention - exhaustive enums - test speed But I think even among those the subtleties would make a fair comparison

I keep seeing these language specific proclamations, and they are annoying and reek of inexperience to me. I’ve had a great time doing LLM assisted coding in Zig, and it seems comparable to the generic Typescript/React I do at work. I

No argument that it works, it definitely does. I just think the LLMs have a hard time with tweaks/modifications of any kind, more so than what I see even in a custom GUI toolkit I’ve built that it has zero training data on. Asking for

Logically this makes sense, but in practice it doesn’t, at least in my experience with SwiftUI. The LLM isn’t any better about generating/understanding it. While the DSL is more formal than natural language, it’s not what we’re communi

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, or why the narrative here is all about this being payback for the Department of Whatever-the-fuck thing. Dario has been spouting how his models are too dangerous, thinking he was playing 3D chess

That seems way off to me. I skimmed the article, but couldn’t spot any details on their estimates. They mention 70b+ params as being large in several places. But we’ve had several 100b+ param models that trail Sonnet.

If Google is actually getting cheaper inference than everyone else with their TPUs, this smells like trouble to me. Maybe serving LLMs at a profit is proving difficult. Or maybe they think because their benchmarks are good they can ramp up

The “Apps” app is so bad on macOS too (seems built off of Spotlight?). I’ll type the exact app name and it’ll suggest the one on my phone, an installer in Downloads, etc.. No one dog-fooded that thing.
