> Generally speaking, it's much better to use alerts instead of hard limit.

You can't extrapolate your own experience and generalize like that. There is a huge number of people who explicitly want hard caps, period. AWS giving in and finally offering this option after 20 years of people begging them to do that is a sign of that.

> People said Devin, the AI coding agent, was garbage in 2024. Now it's weird if an agent isn't writing 99% of your code.

I have two comments to this statement. First, using "the" suggests being unique, where in fact there were several similar attempts of similarly low quality, including open-source autogpt even before that.

Second, Devin is still bad, in spite of VC money spent on its development and costly billboards in SF.

> The question for me is where it leaves innovation. Have we really peaked as a species that we so easily want to give up on the young and hand them over a tool that would substitute reasoning?

This is a crucial question but I'm afraid the ship has sailed. We should focus on how to prevent atrophy and cultivate our skills in spite of LLMs. For me and many others this means doing thins the old way with occasional assistance from LLMs that actually increase our understanding. Occassional because if you do it often, you get intellectual atrophy because you stop even trying.

The Brax industries stuff you mentioned looked really sleek and fun until I noticed it's pretty much vaporvare as for today. I'm a great fan of the former submission you mentioned: a technology that seemed innovative but not in production but is available now. Stuff that will be available next year or never is simply less interesting.

Well, where VC money is involved, the aim of these ads placed in SF is not exactly to convince any potential users.

> I can't help but feel that my "wisdom of age" might just be testosterone getting out of the way.

I was thinking the same recently, analyzing my life choices then and now. We can't do a double-blinds study with these things, but I believe you might be right.

I feel you but this kind of discourse only polarizes the already divided society. Mothers face a lot of difficulties, and fathers also do. Arguing whose fate is worse seems really unproductive, what makes sense is looking forward and working towards diminishing the effects of these disadvantages.

What you wrote above is just unfair.

Maybe, I'm not sure.

Realistically, you meet with one, two, three potential candidates and you realize it's not what you need and want. You could have them, it's just the disadvantages are too high.

> On the other hand most societies are more tolerant of male promiscuity.

Quotation needed.

> Sounds way less stressful than a high stakes job.

If it's by choice, then yes. Otherwise, it could be really bad.

When you get enormous power and almost zero accountability, it changes you in various ways. I have zero trust Vance is immune to that.

Interesting that is has ESP32 in there - looks like it's becoming the default choice whether or not wireless is involved.

There is an enormous amount of money invested in trying to prove the opposite, for this reason not only they will never admit it, they will actively negate AI was used. It happened before:

> This will break the rigid instruction-tuning structure

Well, this is something one might naively hope for, unfortunately it only works to a certain extent.

I believe the original statement is an oversimplification. What actually happens is that extreme situations, both positive and negative, can help you discover things about you that you didn't know before.

Apart from that, the problem with "who you really are" is that individual is more of a process than a static thing, so any such reification becomes invalid in the next instant.

People usually respond to this, "But he apologized". Well, of course he did. The question is: did he really change his attitude? Because from his actions we can infer not only he didn't, it became worse.

But they explicitly negate this:

> We haven’t configured, and don’t use IAP (Identity Aware Proxy) - I’ve used this before and yes that is Chrome only due to how it does device verification

> This isn’t because of “Context Aware Access” this is an enterprise only feature, and we’re on Google Workspace Business Plus

What you describe is practically the opposite of tokenmaxxing.

In Europe people on sick leave are protected (under certain conditions).

Sure, but the omniprevalence of LLMs just just crystallized these into clearly recognizable patterns. Just like cliches, but not being limited to simple phrases.

> I've been getting this weekly from colleagues. It's very much an epidemic right now! And the port number is indeed almost always a random number between 8000 and 8100.

Really? A bit hard to believe, unless you have many dumb colleagues.

It's a very heavy hammer. I used it in the way you describe and after double-checking noticed some crucial details were missed and certain facts were subtly misrepresented.

But I agree with you, especially in areas where they have a lot of training data, they can be very useful and save tons of time.

for a sufficiently long definition of long

Yeah, I remember it was one of my biggest disappointments with LLMs.

lol

(That's the first time I used that expression on HN.)

I upvoted your comment even though I disagree with you.

Yes, LLMs are sloppy, and local models usually more so (but things change fast).

But the local ones have one big advantage: they are private. So you can safely feed them the collection of your private documents and things you wouldn't trust people like sama with. The fact that some people do not care is one of the failures of our educational system.

> The new alignment isnt East vs West... But North vs Global South, which Brazil sees itself a part of the South.

Where's Russia and Australia then?

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.
