With latest AI models, we will most likely see shift back to just fully Native apps even for smaller teams. This is type of stuff that AI models do really well, if you get a particular feature or even a bigger app change done in one platfo

Physics alone is more than enough to “further human understanding”. All current mathematicians can move to other sciences, closest being fields in physics, and it will all continue to progress just fine.

Well, if in future we do end up with a magical tool that can solve any formal mathematical problem on a whim, we really won’t need field of mathematics anymore as it is today. There would be no need to deliver new mathematical insights by s

Clearly The goal was to scoop Anthropic not a single researcher. OpenAI heard the rumor that Anthropic solved an open problem. So they went nuts pulling all plugs to scoop them. Turns out it wasn’t actually Anthropic and just a researcher w

While AI companies have almost infinite money, they still don’t want to blow million dollar budgets on problems if there isn’t high likelihood that it will be successful. But within next 10 years as costs drop significantly and even more im

You are glossing over the fact that there is reasonable suspicion that OpenAI used privileged information to do “the scoop”. I.e. they used the fact that researcher used OpenAI tools to get advantage . Imagine if OpenAI opened up a high fre

This Tristan guy's statement reads like something a normal, reasonable human being would write. Reading Sam Altman's and Sebastien's tweets reads like something written by people who know they did dirty shit and are willing t

It is so disappointing that we can't have such a monumental moment in history without the controversy. OpenAI leadership clearly doesn't seem to care too much about ethics. Is it a requirement to completely lack integrity to have

The issue for Americans is that living a pretty "normal" lifestyle is way more expensive compared to living very similar "normal" lifestyle in most other developed cities. Easiest example would be groceries. If you live

No sane person would "feel wealthy" if they are living in a shitty 2 bedroom apartment, even if the place costs 1m$. In places where shitty apartments cost that much, a place that would be considered "luxurious" can easi

Of course people in US are very wealthy if you are looking at dollar amounts. It would be impossible for cost of living to be this high, without a lot of people having decent amount of wealth. But people's perception of their own wealt

I have tried multiple times to switch from Cursor to VSCode + command line tools or VSCode plugin for Claude, but it just doesn't work as well as Cursor itself. Especially if you are doing "remote" development through SSH. If

Garbage collector alone can't do what happens in Go language+runtime. Simplest example is that there is no way to allocate fixed arrays with non-pointer structs in Java. That is just not possible in the language. Design of Go allows pr

People use Go vs Java not because of the language differences but because of massive improvement that GO runtime is compared to JVM. It is crazy that people still don't understand why JVM sucks, and why GO's approach to minimize G

Imo, average has to be one of the biggest net negative stats you can collect. It is much better to collect just total throughput stat since that is the only thing that average is useful for, but unlike average stat, it doesn't cause co

Latest models like Opus 5.0 work well in both scenarios. You can just give it a goal and let it make a plan, review the plan and then let it go ham. Or you can also use it piece-meal and have it do parts of work that you want. It works in b

Which model are you using? There is monumental difference between models. Even between "frontier models". When people tell these stories, it would be great to also add which model you were using. As an example Opus 5.0 is in compl

I think people have outdated ideas on AI code quality. Latest ones (i.e. ones after Claude Opus 4.8) are a game changer. They now write better code than a lot of engineers. They are also able to understand much larger overall context and ma

have been doing "racing to debug" things with AI for quite some time too. Have to say, before Opus 4.8, there wasn't even a comparison for anything slightly complex. Opus 4.8 has been the turning point though. I am not winnin

Because 90% of those UIs is written by these new AI models. That is how they are able to churn so much new user facing stuff all the time. The fact that it works at all is proof that these new AI models are actually pretty decent.

I think it depends on what counts as doing nothing. Every time I cut my hair, I sit in a chair for ~30minutes silently without doing anything. My barber knows I don't like small talk so he just cuts my hair and that's it, there is

I am surprised to see that there isn't a lot of information about performance regression testing. Correctness testing is important but the way SQLLite is used, potential performance drops in specific code paths or specific type of quer

Most important property of blockchains is verifiable transparency. That is a huge deal and yes, most financial and government systems would be much better for people if they were built with that type of verifiable transparency. Decentraliza

That is sort of my point. I think "repeatable read" is a fools gold. You think you wont need to do locking, but it is too easy to make incorrect assumptions about what guarantees "repeatable read" provides and you can ma

Here is my issue with this. We are assuming you need to read a "consistent snapshot" in some type of real time application. Because if it isn't real time, you can always have those snapshot type of querying on "replicas&

I have been advocating for the longest time that "repeatable read" is just a bad idea. Even if implementations were perfect. Even when it works correctly in the Database, it is still very tricky to reason about when dealing with c

Funny coincidence, this is also a great way to get ChatGPT to produce correct solutions when it produces incorrect stuff on its first try.
