I got 16.000 tokens per second ahaha

The average non cyclical component of longterm unemployment has been rising steadily since the 50s tho

The level seems to be increasing, clearly, despite the cyclical components

I shall give the benefit of a doubt given they are "building in the open". I feel my current setup already does all this though, so I struggle to see the point

In the past it seemed there was routing based on context-length. So the model was always the same, but optimized for different lengths. Is this still the case?

The reality is that Copilot’s laughable performance is almost entirely unrelated to AI models not being good at X.

Every single thing Copilot does has been solved much better by other products.

However, Copilot fails in extremely ridiculous ways, at very basic tasks which such a product absolutely must nail.

Copilot should not have been released. A large majority of people involved have failed. People like managers, product managers etc should probably be fired. Technical leads equally so.

For everyone who has been building similar products it is immediately obvious that Copilot is sloppy, unfocused and unprofessionally executed.

People hate it, and for hood reason.

It just boggles the mind how they would go and release it, or that it even exists in its current form.

Those devs and managers rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars each, producing garbage that has been done better by dozens or hundreds of other teams

Bah

Apple is terrible. I have to install xcode for whatever reason but do not want to use it.

Yet every week it assigns itself as default program for all sorts of files, from markdown to python modules.

So clicking on pretty much anything opens this.

Apple is just very bad at user interface. Whoever said Mac as better than Linux or even Windows is insane.

I hate it.

LLMs do all that pretty well :-)

They indicate that this is something engineers want. Further, half of the 3000 with transition back to engineering, indicating that they think they will be more valuable as engineers.

Middle management has this self-replicating dynamic of becoming bloated and inefficient. Most companies probably do not have good middle management, because they have too much of it.

Firstly, management and leadership are not the same thing. Giving direction is the job of a leader. Managers, just like anyone else, are rarely good leaders. They are more likely to give the wrong direction and vision than ICs, given that they typically also know less.

IC's do benefit from coordination, as any team might. That is management. However, having more than the absolute minimum of managers and management attached to a product invariably means an exponential decrease in efficiency.

Any team with more managers than senior ICs such as staff engineers is in trouble. That's because staff+ engineers are the people who's ACTUAL job it is to give direction, force multiplication and avoidance of local minima.

Hence, the nature of the position of manager is that it is very often unnecessary, or only intermittently useful. Therefore, a successful manager is not one who makes the product succeed, but rather someone who creates work that they themselves can and need to solve. Typically, this happens when there is a group of managers where there should be only one.

Only in American tech companies

A weakness of European companies is that with very few exceptions, there is no equivalent IC role to managerial roles beyond maybe junior management.

There are companies that promise this, but it is rarely done. For whatever reason, management is universally convinced that ICs have lower value and are more replacable than managers.

It's also a distinctly European trait that European executives can look at US tech companies, who have IC roles on all levels, see that they are the most successful and innovative companies in the world, and conclude that yes, maybe capping IC benefits and adding another level of management is the way to go!

While you are not wrong, many of the cases I observed had managers from all over the world.

I think it's just a symptom. As a manager, you contribute nothing by yourself. You are useful if you have a useful team (ICs) with a good project. To have that, you need to defend yourself against other managers who will take this from you. If you then also want to get prompted, your task is also to vacuum in all sorts of soft power, visibility, decision rights and being-in-the-roomness. It's even efficient, in that case, to destroy efficiency with processes (under your involvement)

As an IC, you are always valuable as you can always create value.

Hence, by having enough managers, you ensure that their competition will destroy the company.

Many large corporations in Europe, especially in sectors of prior consistent growth and profit, are chock full of too many managers.

These are people who primarily create work for themselves and each other. I have sat in meetings about meetings for actions that, ultimately, have zero impact, in teams where managers involve outnumber people who actually execute anything three to one. It's staggering.

I believe the best way to kill a company is to have middle management beyond the absolute minimum you might need.

So, ASML is extremely on point here.

Very interesting assertion that these would be the most familiar opening lines of any poem in the 20th century.

Even if one only read English poems, as the author did, how about

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both

Yes however speaking allows flexibility in communication, dynamics that text does not support and, crucial if there is no alignment, nonverbal communication.

It is much much easier to build trust in person, which is important for efficient teams.

In the end, both modes have pros and cons, but there is indeed a lot of research indicating remote teamwork is much more challenging on many dimensions

Well done America, you made your neighboring country work on insurgency tactics because an imperialistic attack from you is now a real possibility. Think about that a second.

Even though it’s marketing, i think they should not be allowed to call it sovereign.

Perhaps one could sue them for that.

You know that your president is about to put the head of the federal reserve in prison on trumped up charges?

The US is not s country with rule of law anymore. It is a country that is rules by power.

This is hilarious

Since it is a US company, it is still subject to cloud act, US intelligence full access, and Trumps ability to ignore any and all laws and contracts. Microsoft execs, who have similar offerings, have confirmed this under oath.

So either this is a valiant attempt by AWS that is ultimately misguided, or it is an attempt to capture customers without even a hint of legal expertise.

AWS, Azure and GC stand to lose all EU customers in the next years. They simply must, given that no data with them is secure from Trump’s admin or industrial espionage. This does not help that

The internal structure has been metal since a long time afaik

The outside is a very durable rubber material. Certainly more durable than my Macbook Pro

Very cool, kudos

Where might one see more about what type of indexing you do to get the graph?

Just to be clear: the US has already done this.

All we can do is face the facts and pick up the pieces.

This is because Europeans can not listen.

Microsoft executives under oath said that they will not be able to honor those contracts if there is pressure from the US administration. We should know this, but we keep forgetting: laws, contracts, courts etc always bow before political and military might. In peacetime, we delude ourselves into thinking it aint so.

The situation is now clear as day. What op stated is 100 percent correct.

The US will have successfully invaded an EU country by 2027.

They will, if it comes to this, immediately and successfully weaponize all three hyperscalers.

It is abundantly clear where thinks are going.

If any country, organization or company is not prepared for this by mid 2026, they are blind and deaf

Have not checked for a while, but does AMD at this point have any software to run stable and efficiently?

Or are they still building chips no one wants to use because cuda is the only thing that doesn’t suck balls

Which AI am I training here?

We call it agentic RAG. The retriever is an agent. It’s still RAG

Absolutely insane that we celebrated coding agents getting rid of RAG, only with the next innovation being RAG

Ironically, on ISO keyboards, [] need an ALT so even more pain

This is the correct answer
