> and the manufacturer could even push a community firmware to the thing as their last act before discontinuing support.

This should be held in escrow before the device can be sold. And the entity doing the escrow service should periodically build the software and install it onto newly-purchased test devices to make sure it's still valid.

If the company drops support, either by going out of business or by simply allowing issues to go unaddressed for too long, then the escrowed BSP/firmware is released and the people now own their own hardware.

No, they don't, actually. You can choose not to subsidize mass transit, and as a result you'll have little to none of it. Which is fine, if you want all that not having mass transit entails, such as more traffic and less mobility for the poor.

You can choose not to subsidize nuclear, in which case you'll get more windmills and solar farms. This is exactly what the person you originally replied to doesn't want.

I am burned out by frameworks in my day job which is basically working in full stack web land and I want to get away from that. So using anything other than libraries is out of the question as far I am concerned. I could have use Unity / Unreal and been further along, but it isn't going to be enjoyable.

I understand there are situations where more performance is desirable and that vulkan fills that niche. However if you are building simpler games, are you really going to need it? If I am building say a puzzle game, do I really need maximum 3D graphics fidelity and performance? I would argue probably not.

I am using OpenGL in my projects for now and if I feel the need to learn Vulkan I will. Almost all the materials online for OpenGL 3.3 are still relevant and unlike web world (where things are depreciated every 6 months) the code still works fine. The C++ linter / analysis tools I am using with CLion throw up warnings but these are normally fairly easily to fix.

It's also what you're writing. The GP's commenter's bio shows they're a product lead, not a full-time software developer. To make some broad assumptions about what kind of code they're talking about: using an LLM for "write me a Python script that queries the Jira API for all tickets closed in the past week" is a much different task from "change the code in our 15 year old in-house accounting software to handle these tariffs", both in terms of the code that gets written as well as the consequences of the LLM getting it wrong.

To be clear this isn't a knock on anyone's work, but it does seem to be a source of why "pro-LLM" and "anti-LLM" groups tend to talk past each other.

You're more optimistic about this stuff than I am, but I think I get your perspective. We have decent sentiment analysis, fluent text generation, and real-sounding TTS, so combining them will yield a pretty good reading. I agree that you're probably right when it comes to newspaper columns and magazine articles, but that's not on the level of a good audiobook.

To take an example, here's an iconic line from the Fellowship of the Ring:

> The wizard swayed on the bridge, stepped back a pace, and then again stood still. ‘You cannot pass!’ he said.

If you think that is a command, you should shout it like Ian McKellen in the movie. If you think it's a statement based on superior knowledge (see https://acoup.blog/2025/04/25/collections-how-gandalf-proved...), you should probably state it with certainty and fatigue. And if you're making a movie with a ton of crazy special effects and swelling music, you should probably make whatever choice goes best in that context.

Even if a model could make some consistent choice there, I wouldn't be all that interested, because the reader conveying their interpretation of the character to the listener is what matters. Sure, it might get enough Spotify plays to make some money, but it's not art.

The correct answer here is an attestation server and an 802.1AR device certificate; this should be used to attest to a remote server returned via DHCP or at a well known address (this sounds evil but a well known address and specific VLAN is the most widely deployed untrusted environment solution that actually works) which uses a long lived certificate for which the fingerprint is TOFU’d by the device. The device can use this attestation and mutual challenge to obtain a certificate (if it needs one) from an authority that other entities trust (which is necessarily not the 802.1AR CA).

Thanks for the thoughtful reply — I agree that what I’m doing may look like an advanced form of prompt engineering, and in a sense, it probably is.

I’m very new to this field, so I don’t yet have the knowledge or resources to touch the architecture itself. That’s why I’ve been experimenting at the input level — trying to see how far structure alone can constrain or guide model behavior without changing the model.

You’re absolutely right that the model still tries to “autocomplete” within the structure, and not truly “reason” in a formal sense. But the interesting part for me was that even without touching internals, I could get the model to simulate something that looks like logic-based reasoning — repeatable, deterministic responses within a controlled structure.

That said, I totally agree: long-term, we’ll need architectural support to make real logic possible. I appreciate your insight — if you ever revisit this kind of research, I’d love to learn from it.

Maybe ROS is the way to get started in robotics and for AGVs it's probably the most resourced thing one could learn.

But that is really only for AGVs. Once you get into the air, it's all Mavlink (always has been), ASVs and AUVs still run MOOS, and robotic arms are far more likely to use ABB studio than Moveit and the research is going towards LeRobot with end-to-end control, not classical methods. IoT systems are mostly Home Assistant, and well, some just use MQTT directly instead.

ROS is probably not as ubiquitous as us ROS devs would like to believe, what one should learn really depends on the field one wants to be in.

I gave copilot a screenshot of my work schedule 3 times. The first time it extracted the data flawlessly and organized it the way I asked. The second time it did everything wrong until I talked it though the process in tiny steps. The 3rd time I've asked it to repeat the same steps for the new schedule and it got it wrong just like the initial second attempt. I then tried to talk it though the process step by step and it got everything wrong!? With each step it messed up things it got right the step before. It eventually asked me to upload the image again.

I suppose I could upload the image to a table to json website and provide copilot with the json but the point was to make things easier. In my mind there is nothing complicated about the structure of a table but if I ask copilot to merely extract the text from a row starting with some text it goes insane. Optical character recognition is an idea from 1870 and they had working implementations 50 years ago. I read a bunch of comments online about models getting progressively worse but my experience was over the span of a few weeks.

Would they be doctoring with the quality to make newer models look even better?

I think that's just the opinion of someone who doesn't think AI currently lives up to the hype but is optimistic about developing it further, not really that weird of a position in my opinion.

Personally I'm moving more into the "I think AI is good enough to replace humans, and I am against" category.

From this and other stuff you've been saying in this thread, I get the sense you don't have a lot of practical experience in this area.

You're being pretty rude in this thread. What have you done and worked on? Anything? It does not sound like it.

>4096 colors via weird hold-and-modify modes was never useful outside of demos and vanishingly few games.

16 colors is still way better for games than 2 color black-and-white. The fact that the Amiga could achieve 4096 colors in a world where 16 colors was the norm, was astonishing. The resolution did not matter. The capabilities mattered, and the Amiga was far more capable in every way than the Mac. The mac had 1-channel 8-bit sound, the Amiga had 4-channel stereo 8-bit sound, and was capable of 14-bit sound. So go nitpick some more if you want to, I don't care, but I won't be responding to you anymore.

I've given up on ChatGPT because of this style of writing.

Good article. Agree that general unreliability will continue to be an issue since it's fundamental to how LLMs work. However, it would surprise me if there was still a significant gap between single-turn and multi-turn performance in 18 months. Judging by improvements in the last few frontier model releases, I think the top AI labs have finally figured out how to train for multi-turn and agentic capabilities (likely RL) and just need to scale this up.

I wonder if this is like dishwasher usage. As a kid growing up we never used the dishwasher. It was just the drying rack. The reason was you had to rinse off the big stuff anyways, and then the resulting quality of dishwashing was poor in it. You'd often get a fork with rice stuck between it still, which was unacceptable.

As a grown up now I use a dishwasher for everything that is permitted to go in it. I still have to rinse off plates first, and occasionally I do see rice between a fork that I have to then clean manually. But I'm not comfortable knowing that it won't clean as well as I could by hand, but it does a good enough job -- and in some ways a much better job (it uses much hotter water than I do by hand). I don't know if my mom could ever really be comfortable with it though.

Picasso didn't have evolution so much as total overhauls at several points. It seems much harder to do this kind of evolution/revolution in film simply because of the money involved.

As a film director with such a distinct style, which makes money, it would be pretty hard to go to your investors and say 'I want to do something totally different.' and secure enough money to make a film in the modern era. There are some directors who can self fund due to windfalls in the past. I mean thinking back on noted auteurs I can only think of a film or two that are outside of their style and most are either very early in their career when maybe they were doing a work for hire or very late in their career where they had enough gravitas to get the money to try something different that they had been sitting on for many years (David Lynch's Straight Story is a bit of an odd man out though, I'm not sure of the history of that particular film)

But for someone like picasso, he can just decide on even a whim to attempt to refine or invent another style, the market probably has some kind of pull but it seems like, to me, several orders of magnitude lower stakes.

It would be interesting to find out after some film auteurs' death that they actually had done several other films in a wildly different style under whatever the director's equivalent of a pen name is. Though keeping such a thing secret would be highly improbable (too many people involved in a modern film production).

Sure, but in both cases you are running a real risk of producing incorrect data

If you're a product lead and you ask an LLM to produce a script that gets that output, you still should verify the output is correct

Otherwise you run a real risk of seeming like an idiot later when you give a report on "tickets closed in the past week" and your data is completely wrong. "Why hasn't John closed any tickets this week? Is he slacking off?"... "What he closed more tickets than anyone..." And then it turns out that the unreliable LLM script excluded him for whatever reason

Of course I understand that people are not going to actually be this careful, because more and more people are trusting LLM output without verifying it. Because it's "right enough" that we are becoming complacent

So, what if it's a bug in a project that has forked a few times with renames? You're possibly inviting people to ignore a CVE that says "chrome" or "webkit" or "blink" in the name, when in reality it could be from far enough in the past that it affects all of them.

What about project with a license that allows for easy inclusion of source in another project (BSD license, for example). If most people are exposed to the bug through a bunch of other projects that include it, what do you name it? Any choice likely implies something that might keep people from looking closer initially when they are affected.

What about this specific but? Should it say CoreAudio, or iOS, MacOS, or just Apple?

Naming things usefully in a way that conveys additional information is hard. Looking up CVEs is fairly easy. Just throw it into a search engine.

All we really need for the robotics AI revolution is to deploy many tens of thousands of well built, cheap, reliable robots sold at a profit that customers get tons of utility out of, get petabytes of data back from them while complying with data privacy regs, train a model on this data on a few thousand H200s, and then deploy that model back to the robots, repeating the cycle every few weeks. The rest will be easy.

> but from online models O do not get replies much faster.

My point is that the raw token/second isn't all that matters. The tokens/second required for the correct/acceptable quality result is what actually matters. From my experience, the large LLM will almost always one shot an answers that takes many back-and-forth iterations/revisions from LLAMA 3.x. With higher reasoning tasks, you might spend many iterations only to realize the small model isn't capable of providing an answer, but the large model could after a few iterations. That wasted time is usually only pennies, if you would have just started with the large model.

Of course, it matters what you're actually doing.
