It's actually a great service though.

If ai watermarking is undetectable to humans I wonder if sinister stuff in the context is also undetectable... Some thought or mood that you can't read but is still encoded in the tokens.

As long as you only want to play games from 2008. :)

I had the same job 5 years ago, but I'm sure you know better.

And model training isn't putting money back into the business?

As opposed to...?

I'm also outsourcing computational geometry to CGAL and CPU optimizations to GCC, so what? I can still reason about them.

For example for a problem I had recently Claude pointed out (after some prodding for me) that the determinant of the Jacobian of a function I'm interested in is a polynomial in polar coordinates, so I used a fancy root finding library (which I also didn't write) to solve it efficiently.

Still unsolved for 87 years.

I'm also dependent on a bunch of advanced libraries and compilers I didn't write. I could reimplement them if I took years to do it but it would be a total waste of time.

I work on a codebase with a lot of math and I've both learned and implemented a bunch of things that were beyond my level before I could iterate on it with AI. Same for binary reverse engineering. On the other fixing tedious bugs by hand and typing the code in is not something I miss at all.

Typing the code was never the interesting part.

Also true for human developers.

I completely stopped using Gemini because I found its tone so annoying and pandering. Claude gets to the point.

I think these kinds of comments really need to say which LLM that is. There's an enormous difference in skill between the frontier ones and say the Google search AI.

You just have to press the right link on the site and you get the tracking page (despite saying you need the app).

Overheating isn't exactly right, they got shut down because they couldn't be cooled, but they didn't overheat.

JS despite its (many) faults still allowed a fairly functional style way before that was mainstream. Java and C++ only got lambdas decades later.

Or you're below its level.

But if you have two experts in a field talking to each other you wouldn't expect them to dumb down their communication.

Is that what it feels like when the models get smarter than us?

Reverse-engineering my house's intercom system.

I've had great results on electronics with Claude and Gemini.

Yeah, it's hard to take the rest seriously.

Sure, but it doesn't solve today's problem with the low Danube.

They're being installed but it's going to take a while.

Hungary is already using that (today we were 90% carbon-free thanks to solar), the problem is what to do when it gets dark.

Hungary actually has a ton of solar, video from today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqpTN5PZLow

The problem is we don't have enough storage to use it after dark.
