CPU time might go up while wall clock time goes down

I'm still never going to use an xAI product.

I'll never use an xAI product.

As the saying goes, this is what radicalized me. If any one of us did anything close to this we would be treated like Aaron Swartz and given a 35+ year prison sentence.

But in the Sony case the DOJ didn't even threaten criminal charges.

It's a very clear and understandable way of writing that puts priority on clarity.

It gets rid of the flowery language, the dense jaron, and the weird corporate marketing speak they tend to do. It is a bit repetitive, and it sometimes doesn't always wfit well in every situation, but for technical writing or explanations it's been such an incredible breath of fresh air!

I almost exclusively use it with xhigh or max effort, but when run like that it's been an incredibly cheap little workhorse for most development work. I'm still leaning on Sol for planning and debugging, but when it's time to start pumping out code I've been leaning into Luna (Max) and I've been enjoying it! And that was before the price drop, it's going to feel practically free at this point

Obviously it would need to be implemented carefully, but I personally would be more than fine blowing into a tube to start my car if it meant saving 12k lives a year with a very low false positive rate.

That being said I know it would never be implemented in a sane way in the US, and you would probably have situations like your car insurance automatically increasing due to a faulty sensor, so I'm ultimately against it unless a lot of other stuff changes.

But it's still much more possible than "preventing drug addiction"

It could obviously be fixed but I was more curious than anything

Is there a chance a site like this could ruin their metric by inflating all the views for these lowest viewed items? Or do these not count?

But DES is so broken that it's more of a giant flashing beacon saying "look here there are terrible decisions being made!"

It was formally deprecated in 2018 and has been surpassed in just about every single way by AES long before that.

At this point I feel like it's use is such a huge red flag

This is a lossy process, it produces worse results. It might be worth it for some situations, but applying it to everything would just be making your SOTA model worse

I've had several instances where I told the model to do something that was accidentally impossible if taken at face value. The most memorable one is when I told it to re-run just a specific CI job, but it didn't have any way to do that, so it just ignored that part of the prompt and re-ran all CI jobs by pushing another commit.

Ultimately I preferred what it actually did, but technically it violated what I told it to. I have a feeling in a benchmark that would be points against it

Between the codex app, cli, and vscode extension there are options for most ways of working

Give each dev's AI agent its own identity with its own access controls and tokens and everything.

It helps solve both the access control and attribution issues

If you think of apps in the traditional sense I think I agree with you, but I have a feeling things are about to become a lot more messy.

Grandma might not even know she's building her own calendar app.

I don't think we are that far from being able to ask a general purpose AI to "help me not forget my family's birthdays" and it creating and maintaining code for that purpose. Not quite an app, but more than a one off script, I think AIs are going to unlock this weird situation where they're running a bunch of barely organized code almost as an extension of thinking.

But that's unlikely to be the case here because they've been up there isolated for over 6 months now

There are a growing set of problems which feel like using a calculator for basic math to me.

But also school is a whole other thing which I'm much more worried about with LLMs. Because there's no doubt in my mind I would have abused AI every chance I got if it were around when I was a kid, and I wouldn't have learned a damn thing.

I've found voice input to completely change the balance there.

For stuff that isn't urgent, I can just fire off a hosted codex job by saying what I want done out loud. It's not super often that it completely nails it, but it almost always helps give me some info on where the relevant files might be and a first pass on the change.

Plus it has the nice side effect of being a todo list of quick stuff that I didn't want to get distracted by while working on something else, and often helps me gather my thoughts on a topic.

It's turned out to be a shockingly good workflow for me

Even though all I did was setup the docker container one day and forget about it

I've had much better experiences with rephrasing things in the affirmative.

In other systems once you get beyond a single machine you need that external communication mechanism anyway, and now you have multiple classes of comms which introduces bugs and complexity and performance cliffs.

In PHP you just throw another server at it, it'll act the same as if you just added another process. Nice linear scaling and simple to understand architectures.

Man I miss working in PHP

Assuming you don't want to do anything but fly by or smash into it

Unfortunately there was a flood shortly after and our goat army was lost
