That is far more likely to happen when it is relying on compressed knowledge of documentation and usage for an API it would have seen (comparatively) only a few times in training. That is where the various types of memory, tool calling and supplementary materials being fed in can make them significantly more situationally useful.

The LLMs you mention are first and foremost a “general knowledge” machine rather than a domain expert. In my opinion, Junior developers are the least likely to benefit from their use because they have neither the foundational understanding to know when the approach is wrong, nor the practical experience to correct any mistakes. An LLM can replace a junior dev because we expect the mistakes and potentially poor quality, but you don’t really want a junior developer doing code reviews for another junior developer before pushing code.
Many people also confuse how hard they work for how much business value they create. Staying late, working long hours is only beneficial if it creates value. Is that work something that anyone else could do? Does it reduce costs or increase revenue? Reducing costs has a limited upside. For a lot of work, the difference in productivity between two workers might be 10%, 50%, even 100% you can still be a commodity. From my experience, doing something that only you can do that results in enduring, increased revenue is the best way to make real money. Learning the business, becoming indispensable, and help to grow the business takes time and experience, but will be rewarded. And if it isn’t, move on!
That's just factually wrong, DeepSeek is still terribly slow on CPUs. There's nothing different about how it works numerically.

VLC has been able to stream to/from devices since ~2000. It has captioning support but I don't know if that applies to music. I guess WinAmp came out in ~1998 but it added support for shoutcast in ~1999. The size of computer needed to run winamp/stream shoutcast has shrunk I suppose. But anyways it was certainly conceivable as it was already a commercial product 25 years ago.
The Apple Watch Ultra has worked wonders for me in terms of battery life and “always on display”.

My only wish is for an easily serviceable battery.
Developing the for the Pebble was a lot of fun. There was a Pebble hack-a-thon recently (recent being 2 years ago) and I finally got around to finishing a project that I started a decade earlier:

https://github.com/codaris/pebble-cpp

It might even become relevant again!

Pebble had an ingenious design for its watch apps. Despite the watch having a limited processor and even more limited RAM, it could accommodate several apps, each boasting a lot of capability.

Each Pebble app was comprised of two components: one that resided on the watch and another on the phone. Users could install these apps from Pebble's dedicated app store, and the same app was compatible with both iOS and Android. Pebble brilliantly bypassed Apple's app install restrictions and cross-platform compatibility challenges by executing the on-phone portion within the platform's JavaScript engine.

If you wanted to create a weather application, the phone component of the app would be written in JavaScript and retrieve weather updates from the Internet, which would then be conveyed to the watch's C-based app for display. Watch apps could also have a settings page that was implemented in HTML.

I have always been impressed by of the cleverness and simplicity of this design.

The CRT enthusiasts on Reddit would love something like this, but for analog TV channels.

Something that people ask occasionally is how to use their vintage TV's tuner to receive digital TV. But they don't want to tune it to channel 3 and then change the channel with a digital TV box; they actually want to change the channel with the old tuner. The current advice seems to be to spend $hundreds to get an analog CATV head-end, and a separate digital tuner for each channel, but I've never heard of anyone actually following through and doing that.

R1 distills are still very very good. I've used Llama 405b and I would say dsr1-32b is about the same quality, or maybe a bit worse (subjectively within error) and the 70b distill is better.
Deepseek inference API has positive margin. This however does not take into account R&D like salary and training cost. I believe OpenAI is the same in these aspects, at least before now.

I honestly feel anyone comparing AI to Web3 is absolutely delusional. Web3 hasn't had a single mass use-case except being a speculative asset. AI is already being used in lot of real life applications (radiology, law, self driving, etc.)

The negatives mentioned for AI here can be used for any technology application which reduces manual labor. AI is gonna enhance your job, or going to displace to a better job for you. Why do you wish to continue doing the work that technology can do 10x better?
This is awesome.
Also weird to be exited about replacing my Apple-Watch with my next Pebble.

Goodspeed!
Didn't know about Aider - going to give that a try, thanks!
Not quite, I believe this sell off was caused by Shockley showing with their "transistor" that the electricity demands of computers are not necessarily as high as everyone has assumed (as required by vacuum tubes).

Electricity demands will plummet when transistors take the place of vacuum tubes.
There was a hack "solution" to fix the display by putting a piece of cardboard or paper behind it to keep the connection good. I was able to get my OG pebble working again until it was finally replaced by an Apple Watch I was gifted quite some time later (like a year or two!) :)
ReAG: Moving Beyond Traditional RAG Through Direct Reasoning
A pro could have been an extra narrative about carbon footprint savings.

I'm surprised it hasn't been raised when talking about saving 2Tb/year only for React. It represents costs, which doesn't seem to be an issue, but also computing power and storage. (Event with a higher/longer computing power due to slower compression, it's done once per version, which isn't really comprable to the amount of downloads anyway)

Hard to calculate the exact saving, but it would represent a smaller CO2 footprint..
The thing with Nvidia is that it doesn't have a large "sticky" customer base that is guaranteed to spend money year after year on new products. If you look at other large tech companies with similar valuations (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta), none of them are in danger of their core business disappearing overnight. In Nvidia's case, if large tech companies decide they don't need to continue loading up on AI chips and building larger data centers then they are back to where they were in ~2020 ($100-150B market cap from selling GPUs to gamers and professionals working on graphics-intensive apps).

I worked at a company a couple years ago that was running on Active Directory, Outlook, and good old fashioned Windows and Microsoft Office licenses. They wanted to "modernize" and so I was to learn about Teams/M365/Azure/Entra/Copilot/etc, and report on some options for what licenses we could get and which products we could use. It was bananas how difficult it was for me to understand what their product offerings were, due to frequent name changes and multitude of overlapping products/licenses. It was my job to figure out what software we wanted to pay them for, and Microsoft made it as difficult as possible - what they actually wanted was for us to get on calls with their sales staff, so they could tell us what we should pay them for.
Yeah, I can understand. I'm fortunate not to have many uncles and aunts who were old enough to use Facebook, and my parents were fairly tech-antagonistic. I did get to see a little of what you are referring to when some of my coworkers added me on FB and started sharing political content.

I still prefer that to all of the fake AI-slop message boards and meme/video culture that seems to have replaced it on FB.
> The explicit message of this ad - the explicit message - is that the product being sold is for the dumbest fucking people alive.

I remember another one, where an actor is giving a positive reaction to their agent over a script they didn't even skim, let alone read. The implicit message there is that you need an AI assistant to help lie to people, fake your work output, and generate deliberate bullshit instead of due-diligence.

I keep imagining a satirical extension of this trend, where the LLM product is pitched as helping absentee parents falsify sincere congratulations to their emotionally-neglected child for their role in a school play the parent never attended or saw.

As time goes on, I fear it will stop being satire.

End To End testing for Prometheus (2023)
Not if the goal is to replace the junior devs with AIs -- people won't be "coming into the market" because they won't be needed.

Companies are not saving money by paying for AI tools if they continue to hire the same number of people. The only way it makes financial sense, and for the enormous amounts of money being invested into AI to reap profits, is if companies are able to reduce the cost of labor. First, they only need 75% of the junior devs they have now, then 50%, then 25%.

Just wanted to add some color to this good comment.

In the human context we are much closer to being able to culture anything we want. I would estimate that we are at 75% coverage now -- pick a species detected genomically in the human gut (or skin/vagina/nose, etc.) and we are likely to be able to culture it or a type strain of its species 75% of the time. For a long time we overestimated human microbial diversity because of bad genomic methods and error rates with the early 454 and then Illumina sequencers. This error rate, coupled with the fact that we can't easily replicate culture conditions for the vast majority of earth's bacterial biomass (i.e. the deep lithosphere or the oceans) led to this persistent if somewhat untrue description of the unculturability of human microbes.

[0] gives an estimate of 35-65% of human/mouse gut microbes having a culturable representative. This paper is from 2017, and there have been a lot of advancements since then.

[1] is a good non-review paper where they got 73% of the genomically defined species via just a single cultivation medium

There are others, but I finished my PhD in culturomics-related stuff in 2021, and haven't kept up as much as I should. Everything the OP cited about lithospheric, deep ocean, etc. still applies as far as I know. Those environments are just very hard to recreate with their pressure, temperature, and nutrient requirements.

There is an ongoing debate about these companies drawing direct power from private plants vs going through the grid, but I can't see why big tech won't win in the end, especially in today's environment of deregulation.
Curious thought: could those large price movements have something to do with the fact that DeepSeek is financed by a hedge fund (rather than the more typical VC)? It is unclear how DS will make money from its current strategy of sharing much of the secret sauce that went into training as well as releasing the results under permissive licenses. But if the play was "short major tech stocks and then release surprising results in a way that maximally undermines their current growth story", then it could make a lot more sense.
I feel like I'm grokking the rules after a couple of runthroughs and a peek at the help page (the button on the bottom right). I'm liking the idea of this game but need to make better use of the monster counts that you see in the help page - mostly because a 100+ score will usually mean exactly on 100 level mine, so can be treated as "there is an adjacent mine" rather than "there are 100 points of monsters adjacent.

Two things bother me though.

The thing that I continue to find most confusing is that sometimes a square has a question mark instead of a number. From looking at boards after I lose there does not appear any pattern to this.

The other thing that's strange is the "wall" squares -- seems like a wall can take a couple of hits to break, you can't die from a wall, and you seem to get damage each time you hit it and an arbitrary amount of gold from breaking it. Does anyone have any better ideas on how these work?

I'm not convinced this is intentional. I think their auto-moderation stuff is just buggy lately. To illustrate part of why I say that:

Yesterday I tried to submit a link to a Youtube video of the Testament song "Native Blood". Nothing terribly controversial about that, and I'm nearly 100% sure I've posted that song before with no problems. But it kept getting denied with some "link not allowed because blah, blah" error.

So is "Native Blood" banned on FB? Well, I tried a link to a different video of the same song, and was able to submit it just fine. This feels like a bug to me, and I wouldn't be surprised if similar bugs were interfering with other people trying to post stuff.

Granted that's just speculation so take this for what it's worth.
I think DeekThink is something different though.

It is able to figure out some things that I know do not have much training data at all.

It is looking at the manual and figuring things out. "That doesn't make sense. Wait, that can't be right. I must have the formula wrong."

I just seen that in the chain of thought.

So what? All US apps explicitly send the world's data to the US.
I do think there's a bit of a faulty premise to the start of the article.

> A responsible news media has a lot of jobs, but here’s one of the most important: giving audiences an accurate image of the state of the world around them.

Most "News" orgs aren't News Orgs. They're entertainment companies with a goal of selling ad space. I.e. the weather channels routinely overestimates the chances of a weather event because it gets you to keep paying attention. Painting an accurate imagine can be at odds with generating revenue and so an inaccurate image will be painted.

Then we get into probably another fault premise that the economy as graphed by a single metric is fine. There was all this talk about a K-shaped recovery post covid. It's very possible your single metric will look at good but there can still be a lot of people doing worse as long as it's outweighed by a few people doing very well.

The article had a very interesting comment one crime though about if homelessness counted. I think it'd be a bit more interesting to ask if immigration counted. But the guy definitely hits the nail on the head in saying that nobody is reporting crime correctly in the news so it's not a surprise that people listening to it don't have a clue.
This is like watching a carpenter blame their hammer because they didn’t measure twice. AI is a tool, it's like a power tool for a tradesperson: it'll amplify your skills, but if you let it steer the whole project? You’ll end up with a pile of bent nails.

LLMs are jittery apprentices. They'll hallucinate measurements, over-sand perfectly good code, or spin you in circles for hours. I’ve been there back in the GPT-4 days especially, nothing stings like realising you wasted a day debugging AI’s creative solution to a problem you could've solved in 20 minutes.

When you treat AI like a toolbelt, not a replacement for your own brain? Magic. It’s killer at grunt work like; explaining regex, scaffolding boilerplate, or untangling JWT auth spaghetti. You still gotta hold the blueprint. AI ain't some magic wand: it’s a nail gun. Point it wrong, and you’ll spend four days prying out mistakes.

Sucks it cost you time, but hey, now you know to never let the tool work you. It's hopefully a lesson OP learns once and doesn't let it sour their experience with AI, because when utilised properly, you can really get things done, even if it's just the tedious/boring stuff or things you'd spend time Google bashing, reading docs or finding on StackOverflow.

> That doesn't quite mesh with "reason, evidence and a scientific mindset". Finding fault with additional claims doesn't change that.

I agree. Honestly I think it was a real mistake for the WH to pressure Meta. Avoiding even the appearance of impropriety is important.

But again, note how very little the current regime cares about the appearance of impropriety. The fact that Zuckerberg hasn't said a single thing about that is quite telling!

A lot of biases tend to be reflected in what people don't say, not what people do say. It is harder to hold people to account for omissions.

> there was basically two big groups, Covid deniers running wild, and the people who didn't allow any criticism or questioning, who were using the outright Covid deniers as an excuse for that. While making ads about being asked by future generations to retell the story how they saved the world by staying at home. The arrogance and mindlessness was so thick you could cut it. It was all "you're with us or with the terrorists".

The polarization on the issue was really bad, I agree. I was hoping that Operation Warp Speed would be a depolarizing event, but sadly that was not to be.
