freecodyx··on Why is everyone trying to replace Software Engineers?
Exactly, self driving for example on paper seems like an easy task to automate, you only need to make a decision for the upcoming 2 seconds, and still sucks at it, because it needs 100% accuracy, 90% is fatal and useless

freecodyx··on The lifecycle of a code AI completion
it make sense, in order to come up with a base model, you will need a lot of quality training data, tons of compute.

the role of an AI startup is to come up with ideas, thus useful products. Most of existing products pre-AI, are also front ends to existing operations systems and exiting databases, because creating the whole stack does not make sense. At least we have state of the art open models that we can use freely

freecodyx··on Octox: Unix-like OS in Rust inspired by xv6-riscv
Not related to the project. Most of the code is unsafe. I really find rust counterintuitive.
