Taken into account than of two convicted criminals, Sarkozy went to prison and will probably be sent there again, whereas Trump is running a big country, I'm pretty sure which is which.

Our only hope as a society in this aspect is to hope that in 2 years or so the prices of RAM fall to the lever where more people are able to use local SOTA models (which, at that time, should correspond to commercial SOTA models 6 months older.

It's hard to detect sarcasm these days but in case you're being serious, not everybody will share your feelings.

This is a reasonable approach but has nothing to do with what is being pushed on us from all sides.

> middle east partners

Well, European partners are looking, too - and they are drawing logical conclusions, such as producing more interceptors locally rather than wait years for the first batches of PAC-3.

> Laozi gives the complementary warning: “In pursuing learning, every day something is added. In pursuing the Tao, every day something is dropped.” Mastery is not only accumulation. It is also subtraction: removing unnecessary abstraction, ceremony, cleverness, and control.

Well, your (or your LLM's) interpretation is a bit less nuanced than the original. The verse from DDJ you mention is more about letting go and living a simple life, a bit the opposite of programming where we actually need an adequate level of complexity to handle the complexity of the world.

As a side note, even if you are not a native English speaker, trying to formulate thoughts without the support of LLMs is very welcome here.

Anecdata, but among real people I know and touched the subject, nobody has anything positive to say about GenAI "art".

And in online communities, most often people just call it "AI slop" and express fatigue. It's very different form a brief period when people were excited by midjourney-generated images. I believe it just faded off just like any novelty.

> DoD

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the guy who made his campaing on ending wars the first thing he does after being elected changes the name from DoD to DoW and starts new wars.

> I do, for sure! Yes, we have a few product rollouts lined up.

When, more or less?

> Am I missing something?

Yes, this product doesn't exist.

And the last time a company claimed something similar it disappeared after taking money from investors.

Well, the link you provided basically confirms Kimi's dominance.

> I just can't figure how _how_ to burn that much money a month responsibly.

Well, if your bonus depends on spending it, you'll find a way.

Not that much, though, and the gap seems diminishing every couple of months.

I think you are wrong, for several reasons.

From the human perspective, researchers are people, and they do have their incentives. Making a breakthrough, of any kind, is important for them - even if for their career (but many do genuinely care and want to help humanity as a whole).

From marketing and sales perspective, look at what happen to pharma companies capitalization when Ozempic appeared: a relatively small Elly Lily suddenly got bigger then Merck, Novartis, Roche or Johnson & Johnson. You can hardly call it a long treatment plan with expensive drugs "till the end".

Really, there is a lot of bad things going on in healthcare and pharma industry, but the conspiracy theory "they don't want to invent efficient drugs" really makes no sense when you dig deeper.

> literally everybody

I personally make sure I really diversify, so that when I buy funds, I buy those with stocks of EU companies which pay dividends. AFAICT there are 0 European AI companies that pay dividends.

Why are you adding 's' for a HTTP-only server?

This applies to everything. If your coding agent has problems with non-trivial programs, it's your fault, too.

I believe the current game everybody plays is:

* make sure the model maxes out all benchmarks

* release it

* after some time, nerf it

* repeat the same with the next model

However, the net sum is positive: in general, models from 2026 are better than those from 2024.

> "order of magnitude" seems to also be silly-speak very often, trying to sound more technical than "ten times".

But these are two different things. If I hear "ten times" I assume the person actually means ten times; when they say "an order of magnitude", I'm aware they might mean 8 or 12.

LLM-based software is just another layer to be hacked.

> 1) One can no longer trust things out on the web.

I assume you mean software, because we haven't been trusting other things on the web already for decades.

As for software, everybody interested knew about inherent insecurity of supply chain of modern software but the solutions proposed were too expensive. We need an order of magnitude more money lost for organizations to start switching from today's security theater to a model with security built in.

This is mostly a US thing. Netanyahu and Putin are two war criminals according to International Court of Justice. Although Trump threatened the ICJ, this doesn't change that basic fact.

This is quite normal for politics-related news on HN. Many people flag them and they disappear from the FP. Whatever contentious issue you take, there always people who will dislike an even or how it's presented and will flag the submission.

By the way, what are you using it for? I bought Max and Pro plans for Claue and Codex, developed a few apps with it, and after the initial excitation ("Wow I can get results 10x faster!") I felt the net sum is negative for me. In the end I didn't learn much except the current quirks of each model/tool, I didn't enjoy the whole process and the end result was not good enough for my standards. In the end I deleted all these projects and unsubscribed.

While I agree with your points, this one could be more nuanced:

> Infrastructure: Bare Server > Containers > Kubernetes

The problem with recommending a bare server first is that bare metal fails. Usually every couple of years a component fails - a PSU, a controller, a drive. Also, a bare metal server is more expensive than VPS.

Paradoxically, a k3s distro with 3 small nodes and a load balancer at Hetzner may cost you less than a bare metal server and will definitely give you much better availability in the long run, albeit with less performance for the same money.

Really? I can think of a few reasons I wouldn't trust AI-generated recipes.

It depends on the use, I'm not fixed on "productivity" measured by LoC but on code quality. So when using LLMs to challenge my code I'm less productive but the quality of my code increases.

I use codex for cleaning after cloude and it always finds so many bugs, some of them quite obvious.

> One that I retired was used for serving ftp

It must have been a while ago - FTP was practically killed the moment browsers stopped supporting it.

I wouldn't paint the image in such black terms. LLMs can be good in finding bugs and potential issues. And if you like, they can be like IntelliSense on steroids. Even agentic workflows can be good, e.g. for an initial assessment of a new large codebase. And potentially millions of other small tasks like writing one-off helper scripts etc.
