It costs between 4k and 10k if you break your leg and call an ambulance in the US. Forget medical advances, it costs you a car to get a cast

do people at the bottom have access to medical advances or are they in lifelong debt in the unfortunate case when they need those medical advances?

I want to agree with you but have other systems provided better drugs / research than the US? Afaik SOTA in anything medical is basically US researched but .. I haven't actually looked into it that much.

LLM providers can't "capture" anything. People loved Claude Code because it was cheap and good. Not cheap anymore? People switching to Codex, DS4 etc.

Their only moat is maybe being SOTA but that only lasts so long before everyone else catches up.

Right now, no feedback since I don't run this system but our workflows could change to accommodate it

We can trust the feedback we give it based on the output it provides.

True, haven't thought of that. However very few actual projects / companies are in a situation where the chinese GOVT would be interested to spend resources to hack your platform. For the ones that are afraid of that there's always self hosting of course

either this or you work on software that even if copied won't get you far since the business relies on network effects or pure networking.

Getting the source code of facebook or instagram doesn't mean you could compete with them.

I work for a company that has built relationship with event organizers over the past 10 years. The code I maintain could be written from scratch in maybe 2-3 months even though it was built over the past 10 years but besides that you have frontend / DB / hardware / logistics etc

i have done some amazing things for 5 dollars, using opencode. give it a shot, it is incredibly cheap

sure but if youtube wanted to, they could force the creators to tag these sections themselves so they are 100% accurate and have an option for the paying customer to skip these automatically. it is within their power

since youtube premium and various methods to skip ads now even Joe rogan who has 200+ million dollars does ad reads directly in video.

yeah I think I'm prone to do the same, it is so easy to create and we get too excited by it instead of first doing the research necessary which is much more boring than actually producing something.

if you are on HN and have no idea what "frontier model" would mean maybe it's time you found out.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

Generous of you to think I'm doing top secret coding and not just another cat website

In the good old days of 2011 when I started to learn C++ "for real" I did it using learncpp.com, google and "support" from freenode's #c++ where truly masterful wizards would help me with the most inane questions. I don't think anything I've ever found has come close to freenode's level of "support".

In the old days where we didn't depend on services and everything was local even if you needed something truly arcane if you knew where to ask you could find a niche expert willing to help out or at least that's how I remember it. Nowadays if you have a problem with a service you literally are shit out of luck because there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it, you can't debug it, you can't hack it, NOTHING.

In my case or a lot of people's cases.. I eat beans to save money and if I have to save money now.. months of adaptation isn't gonna cut it

well if your solution is to eat beans with 3/4 meals and I STILL need to social distance for a few months while I acclimate then that's not really the best solution now is it?

Democracy in most of the countries is just theater. Trump promised no more wars iirc.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather live in a country without a million cameras that automatically fine me for crossing the street illegally but I don't actually deceive myself in thinking my vote counts for much.

Same where I'm from, it's in pill / capsule form

that could make a for a nice blog / gist

Arrogance / hubris. Some people even if they know it's rigged will believe they know which side the insiders are on

I suspect it means it's LLM generated without it being checked

Maybe to get a real breakthrough we have to make programming languages / tools better suited for LLM strengths not fuss so much about making it write code we like. What we need is correct code not nice looking code.

> Yes, everyone starts out creative.

Are there studies done on this or is this just wishful thinking?

Sure and all the same, most people just don't have it.

Well was Jobs a "doer"? Did he get his hands dirty on the code? Or did he use his employees how we would like to use LLMs?

They are not comparable, ffmpeg-python just abstracts away the CLI, pyav is a low level binding of the ffmpeg libs.

It may seem "dead" but ultimately it just helps you build CLI commands in a more sane way, the CLI interface to ffmpeg has been consistent for a long time. Only thing that may change is individual filters which you can just give raw to ffmpeg-python.

I remember when I was heavily using it last year I found a fork that seemingly had more sane typing or something but since LLMs last year didn't know about the newer lib but could write decent ffmpeg-python code I stuck with it and it did the job.

Maybe it helps to view ffmpeg as a DSL and the ugliness is caused by the CLI constraints / conventions.

For what it's worth, LLMs are a great tool for both composing and understanding ffmpeg commands.

And if you want something more verbose / easier to read you can use something like https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python (with LLMs) as well

And that same information contained in an LLM is a compression of how many terabytes of training data? Maybe in the future there will be models an order of magnitude smaller and still better performing.

What I'm saying is you can't judge the data in the genome by purely counting the bytes of data.
