True! it does grate, but less than slop. Not sure why Neovim though, most of the boxes I sometimes have to peek into only have vim, and that's just Ok.

to a certain extent, openrouter did manage to turn tokens into a currency. The fungibility is there, as much as you don't care so much if you're getting your token from novita or some other player, these become fungible.

I think the race is actually between locally optimized rigs with extremely strict context management, and the rest.

What makes you think Antropic has a large code base? what do they do exactly that would make them need a large code base? Or maybe the word Large can be understood in different way?

It's a scale thing. with one fairly simple Android app, it's doable. anything Enterprisey is a nightmare. maybe that's the lesson and the problem is not with the llms but with accidental complexity. Just right now I feel like I'm one mythical LLM minute away from the next clean pull request...

are you really sure? I don't remember writing any of that ever. I also don't remember reading this in anything I liked reading or even marketing copy or sales.

I don't think that's true either. I get the feeling it's more of a "flood the zone" Steve Bannon style "disrupt the other continents" geostrategic drunken-master kung fu.

extremely nice but terse, neither human nor AI slop

what about not whatabouting facts? we are not talking about the miss universe contest here. keep your identity small, it will help you think more clearly.

"""far from being a perfect state""" ??? it's been captured by a bloodthirsty clique, and all the intelligent & wise people in it are leaving

it appears that some people are extremely particular about how everything should be in right place.

Can you give us one example of something which does suffer from slop's massive bloat of wordage and vapid breathless formulations but is still useful as is?

I kind of agree with vivzkestrel here, it would be nice to have more falsifiability in the post. I stopped reading at "AIs are outperforming humans in coding", please author put this sentence more towards the beginning of the post. At least this does not seem AI-generated, if it was, kudos you have prompted for perfect human vague.

clean water ?

Some who think right now that immigration is bad, may later be amongst the ones that decide to emigrate. Then they will know.

Unintended, but not unexpected, 2nd order effect: https://www.ft.com/content/7a833951-9700-46e1-bc08-d47716504...

The most strinking part of this FT article is the note about Aliyah which literally is “ascent”, and means moving into the country: emigrants were often called "yordim", so those who descend...

I don't write more, I don't know words that are not Shibboleths anymore. When not talking about all this, make sure you do/do-not pronounce the "Shhhh" right.

PS. The Financial Times did a: `Comments have not been enabled for this article.`

I am very happy with my Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the replacement because of early models losing 5G on unfolding was swift and it's been one of my least annoying phones so far, and I used many models, OSes

Is this the timeline where they secret start building Skynet to achieve that goal?

Not quite. I would advise refraining from exposing yourself to such horrors.

It's a bit of an overton window thing really. For reference: Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics. Talking about "double tap" is same level as talking about "lethality"...

Oh well, nice enough writeup, just note that this pair of sentences:

"It now began to eliminate the cities, one after another. Finally Man was gone."

...is the only (lack of) rationale for, and description of, that aforementioned elimination process.

I find it a bit short. Sci-Fi handwaving I guess.

The operators know they are in danger themselves, most notably from gliding bombs on their bunkers, so it's a clear him-or-me, makes things simpler. Also: Bucha.

ps. do you to watch all these videos? how is it affecting you?

to recruiters explaining: we are the good guys!

can you prove it? and if you can, you being still alive kinda contradicts...

Can you link us to your git repo(s) and/or other artifacts that demonstrate this take? I and many other here I think won't agree, and we mostly love being taught.

Just in case if not aware yet: read Termination Shock, a Novel by Neal Stephenson

Cars are not a system.

You need roads, traffic lights, drivers and pedestrians that respect rules, not too many holy cows in the way, not too much CO2 in your quasi-self-sustaining spaceship, lungs and livers that can deal with the soot, a tolerance for high-velocity impacts risks, not too many other cars around, ...

because they will take initiatives for localized improvements you don't want them to take

I can only assume the parent poster is referring to the so-called baseband, that is running on the modem processor and indeed is underneath all other OS. To know exactly what each baseband does or doesn't do, just ask people who will tell you!

Insightful Hans Zimmer, 1982:

"You should be able to get something out of a machine that is better than an average musician."

I think he was even more `absolutely right` than he even thought
