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 our phones don’t work

Do they have backwards compatibility guarantees?

Otherwise what are we doing here?

Except Anthropic has delivered a truly world changing product…

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 the same as the rust, with again just way less features.

The rest of the hashi tools are fine, I don’t really use any of them anymore. Vault was a big deal at some point I guess

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

Meanwhile AI has gotten so good it can just about one shot a SaaS app.

I’m not worried about it…

Fully red pilled, I literally cannot believe the rhetoric I’ve been hearing inside major companies.

I love the idea but all I’m seeing is people saying really explicative things. Hopefully there are better ways of moderating

“Memory” systems are a way for developers to feel like they are contributing to AI

If we want to train a model excessively on SVGs it will obviously be able to do this. We have only just started trying to do that

I can’t believe anyone still thinks this given their unbelievable ability to write code.

Self awareness? Probably not. Intelligence? You would have to be high to think that’s not the case.

People are feeling threatened, and rightfully so. LLMs are already insanely intelligent and continue to improve

Intelligence is the ability to compress information. World models are just one aspect of that
