I find this argument short sighted time and again based on personal life experiences as a former electrician given the life impacting results I have witnessed from power losses.

My electrical experiences are regional to my area in the NorthEast US where long duration events have caused many thousands of US dollars in lost food, tens of thousands of dollars in losses from flooded basements, and when temperatures in Winter often drop below freezing and the power goes out pipes begin to freeze causing even more damage structure wide. In time we will see insurance companies reducing rates for those with local energy storage as the corporate insurance machine catches up to understand the benefits of having such power storage locally. I laugh when people make this exact financial reasoning argument because so few people look at the big picture and fail to comprehend the impacts to their life when that switch on the wall leaves one in the dark. Then again I have designed and architected many successful software systems for high availability and my foundational starting point with any system is always energy. Most of those in society assume that switch will always turn on that light and when it does not then those impacted begin to realize what a "centralized grid" truly means.

Decentralizing the grid is already happening as CA very recently announced any new residences built as of 2026 and beyond must be constructed with PV and storage. Individuals can act in ignorance on the energy problems for now however in time everyone will be forced to participate as the issues continue to compound.

Proactive versus reactive, because by the time it matters it will already be too late.
> Put this in a pharmacy - have people hit a button, and ask questions about over-the-counter medications.

Even if you trust OpenAI's models more than your trained, certified, and insured pharmacist -- the pharmacists, their regulators, and their insurers sure won't!

They've got a century of sunk costs to consider (and maybe even some valid concern over the answers a model might give on their behalf...)

Don't be expecting anything like that in an traditional regulated medical setting any time soon.

Humans works in groups, so you are wrong a group of human is extremely reliable on tons of tasks. These AI models also work in groups, or they don't improve from working in a group since the company uses whatever does the best on the benchmark, so it is only fair to compare AI vs group of people, AI compared to an individual will always be an unfair comparison since an AI is never alone.
regardless of what CSS query you use to look the element up, in the jquery example you'd still have your logic (the url, etc) defined elsewhere

the htmx version is symmetric with the href attribute in that it completely specifies what is going to happen directly on the element itself

of course you could do something in jquery like using a data attribute to store the url and HTTP method, etc, but at that point you'd be building https://intercoolerjs.org, the predecessor to htmx that was built on top of jquery
I agree with Pavel that extending the clone syscall is a better idea than this patch set. The flexibility that Josh and Gabriel talk about seems wholly unnecessary. In every use of fork-(do stuff)-exec I've ever seen, the below two observations remained true:

1. Everything needed in the "do stuff" part was known prior to the call to fork

2. Any failures in the "do stuff" part would scrap the child process and report an error to the parent process

It's beyond ridiculous how the definition of AGI has shifted from being an AI that's so good it can improve itself entirely independently infinitely to "some token generator that can solve puzzles that kids could solve after burning tens of thousands of dollars".

I spend 100% of my work time working on a GenAI project, which is genuinely useful for many users, in a company that everyone has heard about, yet I recognize that LLMs are simply dogshit.

Even the current top models are barely usable, hallucinate constantly, are never reliable and are barely good enough to prototype with while we plan to replace those agents with deterministic solutions.

This will just be an iteration on dogshit, but it's the very tech behind LLMs that's rotten.
Same experience.

The smaller and more focused the context, the higher the consistency of output, and the lower the chance of jank.

Fundamentally no different than giving instructions to a junior dev. Be more specific -- point them to the right docs, distill the requirements, identify the relevant areas of the source -- to get good output.

My last attempt at a workflow of agents was at the 3.5 to 4 transition and OpenAI wasn't good enough at that point to produce consistently good output and was slow to boot.

My team has taken the stance that getting consistently good output from LLMs is really an ETL exercise: acquire, aggregate, and transform the minimum relevant data for the output to reach the desired level of quality and depth and let the LLM do it's thing.
I was born in Beantown and remember the site before construction (“Scollay Square”) as being pretty seedy and a place to avoid (still least for an eight year old). The new City Hall and Government Center were a huge improvement, and occurred during a period of rejuvenation for the city (addition to Boston Public Library, Copley Square expansion, final renewal of the city's red light district, aka the Combat Zone). I do remember the controversy of the design and public reaction — yes, it's not for everyone, but I've always had a fondness for the building.
Just need a triangular sail and some zigzagging.
> seems obvious to everyone outside of the field

It's obvious to people inside the field too.

Honestly, these things seem to be less obvious to people outside the field. I've heard so many uninformed takes about LLMs not representing real progress towards intelligence (even here on HN of all places; I don't know why I torture myself reading them), that they're just dumb memorizers. No, they are an incredible breakthrough, because extending them with things like internal thoughts will so obviously lead to results such as o3, and far beyond. Maybe a few more people will start to understand the trajectory we're on.
> Super exciting that OpenAI pushed the compute out this far

it's even more exciting than that. the fact that you even can use more compute to get more intelligence is a breakthrough. if they spent even more on inference, would they get even better scores on arc agi?
That's why I dropped "prescient" from the submission.

> But you don't see this kind of discussion on the narrow models/techniques that made strides on this benchmark, do you ?

This model was trained to pass this test, it was trained heavily on the example questions, so it was a narrow technique.

We even have proof that it isn't AGI, since it scores horribly on ARC-AGI 2. It overfitted for this test.

I dunno, Gaza (on per-sqkm basis) still looks nothing like Hamburg '43.

In fact the numbers of civilians killed are roughly similar (probably 30k for Gaza vs. 40k for Hamburg 43-45) against roughly equal pre-war population size (about 1.5M for each). And the pictures are of course awfully similar as well (depending on where one wishes to zoom in). And Israel's not anywhere near done with Gaza yet.

But of course you were just hand-waving, which is why you started off with "I dunno".

Until it looks at least like that everywhere, I'd say Israel is being too soft

Reflection isn’t a new concept, but a) actually proving that it’s an effective tool for these types of models and b) finding an effective method for reflection that doesn’t just locks you into circular “thinking” were the hard parts and hence the “breakthrough”.

It’s very easy to say hey ofc it’s obvious but there is nothing obvious about it because you are anthropomorphizing these models and then using that bias after the fact as a proof of your conjecture.

I've never seen a company looking for a "coder", anymore than they look to hire spreadsheet creators or powerpoint specialists.

boardgame.io only runs game logic on the server, and it censors the State just before sending it to each client. This strategy makes the UI feel less responsive, but it keeps things simple.

The Swords and Ravens blog post recommends resolving actions on the client when they don't require secret information, but resolving other actions on the server. You'd also need to resolve actions on the server when they involve RNG.
I'm 22 and have no clue what I'm meant to do in a world where this is a thing.

Israel hasn't been an occupying force. They left Gaza in 2005.

That's the narrative that the State of Israel promotes. But as with many things it says, it is wildly disconnected from reality.

Israel never fully "left" Gaza. It pulled its settlements and internal troop deployments, but still maintained control of the Strip's borders, martime access and air space. And continued to bomb and invade sporadically ("mowing the lawn"), according its whimsy and pleasure.

That's why it still considered to be under Israeli occupation according to UN statutes.

Palestinians decided to spend their time preparing for terrorist attacks against Israel.

Some did, the vast majority did not but were retaliated against anyway.

Because LLMs are on an off-ramp path towards AGI. A generally intelligent system can brute force its way with just memory.

Once a model recognizes a weakness through reasoning with CoT when posed to a certain problem and gets the agency to adapt to solve that problem that's a precursor towards real AGI capability!

Specific to my comment, Apple removed code that supports audio over Firewire. It doesn't matter if adapters are available, cameras and microphones that used Firewire no longer work on MacOS 13+.

Again, it had a long run, I'm not upset that they "only" supported it for 10 years... but let's be very clear, the devices don't work. Also, this is them removing support for a protocol that is part of the base MacOS, so it's exactly like what will eventually happen when Apple stops supporting the original Airpods protocols.

I don't think that's any time soon, and if you're in the Apple ecosystem, go ham... let's just be very clear about the comparisons here.

"If you just let the game happen, it almost plays itself." The quote from the episode certainly makes me think about the "idle games" genre that has emerged in that last several years.
Not to be pedantic, but…

Acorn Computers started off much earlier (I owned an Acorn Atom when it was released) which begat the Electron, then the BBC Micro and then the Archimedes.

At that time ARM was just an architecture owned by Acorn. They created it with VSLI technology (Acorn’s Silicon partner) and used the first RISC chip in the BBC Micro before then pivoting it to the Archimedes.

Whilst Acorn itself was initially purchased by Olivetti, who eventually sold what remained years later to Morgan Stanley.

The ARM division was spun off as “Advanced RISC Machines” in a deal with both Apple, and VSLI Technology after Olivetti came onto the scene.

It is this company that we now know as Arm Holdings.

So it’s not entirely accurate to claim “they had a full computer system” as that was Acorn Computers, PLC.

So given you so much care about "mini" details, surely you would admit that the latest Hamas attack where so many anihilated villages close to the Gaza strip, killing Israeli Jews and Arabs alike as well as several foreigners, killing babies, women and the elderly indiscriminately, burning buildings and taking hostages is, by your own definition, very much to be considered to be a genocide?

It's worth noting that LLMs have been part of the tech zeitgeist for over two years and have had a pretty limited impact on hireability for roles, despite what people like the Klarna CEO are saying. Personally, I'm betting on two things:

* The upward bound of compute/performance gains as we continue to iterate on LLMs. It simply isn't going to be feasible for a lot of engineers and businesses to run/train their own LLMs. This means an inherent reliance on cloud services to bridge the gap (something MS is clearly betting on), and engineers to build/maintain the integration from these services to whatever business logic their customers are buying.

* Skilled knowledge workers continuing to be in-demand, even factoring in automation and new-grad numbers. Collectively, we've built a better hammer; it still takes someone experienced enough to know where to drive the nail. These tools WILL empower the top N% of engineers to be more productive, which is why it will be more important than ever to know _how_ to build things that drive business value, rather than just how to churn through JIRA tickets or turn a pretty Figma design into React.

Employment is a social construct. There is limited scope for things you can change, you can accept it or go. Part of it is other people.

I'm not saying you give up on work! But rather I think a lesson I would certainly give my younger self is to accept the quirks of work, one of which is putting up with people who are slow or plain not very good. They are your coworkers for some reason - maybe they are liked, maybe they are sleeping with your boss, maybe they are actually somehow good at their work in ways you can't see. Either way you won't change it, so accept it and work around it.

That's not to say you feed mediocrity, either. Make it clear where you are doing good work and someone else isn't, without making it look like you're belittling them. Take pleasure in doing your work well, or in things you do outside of work. If you really can't put up with it, look to move, but likely you're swapping one set of quirks for another. That's not a terrible thing either, sometimes you get tired of one kind of crazy, and need a different one for your own sanity.

In short, accept you can't do much about not-good-coworkers and try to be at peace with it. My $0.02
