I'm ultimately still responsible for the code. And unlike AI, library authors but their and their libraries reputation on the line.
Luckily, in the IT industry, it's common to just use first names with everybody.
Presumably, it is faster on a saner filesystem.
And the sudden comparison to something that's safety critical is extremely dumb. Nobody said we should tie the LLM to a nuclear bomb that explodes if it makes a single mistake in chess.
The point is that it plays at a level far far above making random legal moves or even average humans. To say that that doesn't mean anything because it's not perfect is simply insane.
And the article does show various graphs of the badly playing models which will hardly play worse than random but are clearly far below the good models.
And IMO for good reason. It makes the code so much cleaner and it's not like it particularly takes effort to indent your code correctly, especially since any moderately competent editor will basically do it for you. Tbh I actually find it much less effort than typing braces.
Though 35€/year maybe is achievable, especially if you get/wear shirts, hoodies, maybe even shoes from conferences or company events.
You probably at least still need a decent pair of shoes, one set of nice clothes, a jacket, pants, and underwear. 350€ to get that stuff for ten years still sounds very tight but maybe possible.
Though ofc you're certainly right that this isn't a recent development at all and at the same time it's certainly also not perfect yet. And I doubt it ever will be. I don't think cheating in online chess is something that can ever really be solved completely.
Also, restarts usually aren't daily. They generally are around once a week. Though sometimes when a new feature is seeing rapid iterations or an important enough bug is found, restarts can happen a few days in a row.
