gtkid1999on Code Droid achieves 19.27% on SWE-bench Full and 31.67% on SWE-bench Lite

Looks like we are screwed

gtkid1999on I don't understand why there is so much variance on AGI timelines

Also, is there a reason why people so strongly believe that an LLM would lead to AGI? People building magic dev seem to believe that can build an AI coworker.

Are there any videos on why and how these researchers strongly believe that AI systems will outperform humans to achieve AGI?

Building an LLM model consists of defining its "architecture" (an enormous mathematical function that defines the model's shape) and then using a lot of trial and error to guess which "parameters" (constants that we plug in to the function, like 'm' and 'b' in y=mx+b) will be most likely to produce text that resembles the training data. Copilot can already do this and it's ok at best. Magic dev guys seem to be using your repo as a training set to make better predictions on the output based on the context window. So are the systems "improving" is kinda my question.

gtkid1999on Ask HN: What does the day to day look like for software engineers working on AI

I'd like to know the same. I am also a rails/JS dev who is studying to move to AI side. But it honestly does not look that interesting

gtkid1999on Can't take it anymore. Guilt, imposter syndrome, depression, and anxiety

I was talking to a couple of staff engineers at Shopify about this. Inspite of getting a PhD or getting to their positions, they still suffer through imposter syndrome. They said what you said just now, try to fake it till the end. That's all that you can do

I need to become a bit more resilient for sure. Life is not so cut and dry there will be ebbs and flows. Just gotta fight through it

My parents are pressuring me to get my masters in CS. I have somehow convinced them I'll do an online masters, but I hate the thought of being controlled at the age of 23. They are the root of my problems right now which why I've been led too these extremes

I truly appreciate the reply. I need to figure out a plan but don't know where to start. Being a self taught dev is harder than I expected it to be. I feel like there is a mountain of information I missed out on from 4 years of uni that I must catch up on. Hard to figure out where to begin

I really need time right now to grow. I just feel that I'm being pulled in too many directions and I need to figure out my life priorities. Plus the guilt and baggage carrying from my uni days has taken a serious mental toll. I really appreciate the reply. I need to figure out what I want
