I had an Amiga 2000 with an 68000 processor when I was a kid. How I got excited when I heared about the 68020, or even 68030! And then even RISC architecture. Those were things that got me excited back in those days. I could let my Amiga say a sentence like „Hello, how are you?“, in a robotic tone, and my friends were baffled as if they‘d been to the moon and back. I couldn’t have imagined that less then four decades later I‘d be talking to my computer in natural language using llms. And with Python, VS Code, and LLM in my toolbelt I can automate almost anything I wish to. Crazy times!

I like to call that not being on the critical path of company success: whenever you can, push to get your team onto that path, and if management can buy into OKR as methodology, which can help achieve valuable alignment (as long as they don't misapply OKRs for a regular "these are features we want").

> we need to figure out how to get people to pay for it other than advertising.

Sorry for the plug, but the two of us at https://stacker.news/ managed to get users to pay for content (even though it’s free to read) by assigning a cost to creating content and sharing the revenue with both consumers and creators using the bitcoin lightning network for microtransactions.

Let me know if you're interested and would like to hear more. Anything related to bitcoin tends to get heavily downvoted here, so I don't want to spend too much time explaining it.
No it can’t; there are rules, and there are the courts. However, in the US, the courts are at this point compromised to some extent, too.
I use LLMs as a moderately competent editor, but AI can’t be a substitute for thought. Sure, it can sometimes generate ideas that feel novel, but I find the disinfectant-laced, sanitary style of writing quite repulsive.

That said, we give too much credit to human writing as well. Have we forgotten about the sludge humans create in the name of SEO?

I've been comparing R1 to O1 and O1-pro, mostly in coding, refactoring and understanding of open source code.

I can say that R1 is on par with O1. But not as deep and capable as O1-pro.
R1 is also a lot more useful than Sonnete. I actually haven't used Sonnete in awhile.

R1 is also comparable to the Gemini Flash Thinking 2.0 model, but in coding I feel like R1 gives me code that works without too much tweaking.

I often give entire open-source project's codebase (or big part of code) to all of them and ask the same question - like add a plugin, or fix xyz, etc.
O1-pro is still a clear and expensive winner. But if I were to choose the second best, I would say R1.

Claude Sonnet 3."6" may be limited in rare situations, but its personality really makes the responses outperform everything else when you're trying to take a deep dive into a subject where you previously knew nothing.

I think that the "thinking" part is a fiction, but it would be pretty cool if it gave you the thought process, and you could edit it. Often with these reasoning models like DeepSeek R1, the overview of the research strategy is nuts for the problem domain.

Government is incentivized and rewarded for finding and punishing violent drug cartels and child abusers.

A reasonable JV arrangement (like what PRC offers US platforms) - Trump wants TikTok US to be 50% US owned. 50% US owned =/= 0% PRC owned, which was what Biden and other PRC hawks previously wanted - to basically denationalize a PRC company from PRC.

Which frankly was retarded tier hubris that only US lawmakers makers high on American exceptionalism can make, and delulu Americans think is reasonable. That was never going to fly geopolitically because PRC would never let US normalize that kind of leverage - it's not about relinquishing control. PRC perfectly happy for US to censor the shit out of US TikTok because it only validates their internet model.

Trump as bad as business man as he is just made a not utterly stupid deal. US gets 50% with golden shares to turn TikTok into domestic US propaganda machine like other US platforms (same deal PRC offers to western platforms), PRC/Douyin gets whatever they currnetly have - it's still going to be fundamentally a PRC run company with local US office doing the filtering (censorship) and day to day in US market, despite eventual US propaganda that TikTok got "sold" to US - it's just under US version of PRC JV arrangement.

The DEs it uses are GNOME and KDE, which are as far from "simple" in that sense as one can get on Linux-based systems: the two largest (and perhaps most widely criticized for being buggy and bloated) DEs. While the use of uncommon (non-GNU) userland sounds like a stream of unusual issues to debug, adding up to a strange combination.

Though probably not counting the DEs as an important part of the system (and maybe they have other DEs or WMs in the repositories), one may argue that the non-GNU userland is simpler in a sense. But then again, it is presented here as a simplified desktop, while GNOME-based and KDE-based systems are on the images it provides. And it lists GNOME as its primary DE [1].

I saw that YouTube video too, about create-react-app being dead! It's definitely a good reminder to stick to recent tutorials when you're learning React, or any technology that changes fast.
Yeah maybe, but for desktop OSes it usually means "we don't want to do the work to implement that obviously useful feature". Consider for example MacOS removing the mouse acceleration setting. What a brave choice.

> designing so that complexity is only exposed if you really need it.

Yeah this is the right way to do things. But again, often stuff is just ripped out rather than sensibly managed. Another example: most of the useful WiFi settings in Linux are not accessible in Gnome by default. You have to install the third party `nm-connection-editor` tool. Why? All that stuff should be accessible from Settings.

Yes... And debuggers that implement line numbers, generally work by taking that information as part of the preprocessing stage. And the #line and __LINE__ macro/directive were implemented _for debuggers_ when originally created. They were made to be handed over to the debugger.

If you simply compile and run, the debugger won't have __LINE__, no. But it also won't have line numbers, at all. So you might have missed a bit of context to this discussion - how are line numbers implemented in a debugger that does so, without access to the source?

> Peasants do become kings though, but we still need a human prompter for these AI models instead of just connecting them to a bug tracker.

What I said is sufficient to show why the parent comment wasn't necessarily agreeing "they aren't reasoning".

Likewise:

In response to "Otherwise why would you need a human to do skillful prompting":

The tasks being assigned to me are prompts. They're prompts written in the form of a JIRA ticket, but they're prompts.

If you point me at a codebase and say "make it better", I'll get right on that vague statement: add unit tests, refactor stuff, make sure there's suitable levels of abstraction… but since when are those business goals?

Point me at a codebase and not give me any direction at all? I'll use the app (or whatever) for a bit, see what feels like a bug, try to fix that, then twiddle my thumbs.

> But currently you communicate that with a human that then translates your needs to an LLM, why do we still need that middleman?

As I'm a software developer, I think I'd be the middle-man here, surely?

> There are so many well described problems and projects out there already, why can't you connect an LLM to them and make it complete those projects on its own?

Quality. The better ones I've tried (most recently o1) seem to be slightly better than a recent graduate, but not senior level. The code works, but only most of the time, and like a junior it will need help.
Might be overkill for something like this but tools like Sentry could also help you track it down more easily without any action by the customer.

Re Egret and Command-Power, I’m pretty sure the key combination (and the command-control-power hard reset combo) is always active, and not a Macsbug thing. ISTR you can trigger sad Macs on boot with it, which would be before Macsbug is loaded (I think), and also access the mini debugger if Macsbug isn’t loaded. At least from what I remember about my old LCII (would have to dig it out to double check though).
From experience, this goes from many little piles of hell to sprawling piles of hell. Obviously the current situation isn't good, but the "collection of interdependent composable SQL builders" will turn into an insane system if you roll things on 5 years. Everybody will yolo whatever they want into the collection, things in the collection will almost match a use cases but not quite and you'll get 90% similar components.

Obviously that is just one persons experience. But I'd take a single crazy sql file any day of the year because it's insanity is scoped to that file (hopefully).

But I'd agree the random string are no good. Maybe refactoring them into an enum either in the code or in the DB would be a good step forward.
Since all kinds of companies are getting a lot of money from the generative AI business, I think they can handle being sued for plagiarism if thats the content they produce.
Agree. While the solution is impressive, the choice of using the type system severely hampers the ways the code can be deployed. Instead of taking dynamic input, the DATA array must now be encoded up-front in an unexpected number-base and run within the tsc compiler. It limits the number of members in the team that can maintain it. Finally, he was lucky there were no further silly requirements like send a PDF report to the CTO if the number is divisible by 201 and it's a Monday. While i also disprove of the interview setup and their bizarre artificial limitations, in the real world shit also happens and you need to react to it, if you decided to prematurely constrain yourself for the sake of scratching your own itch, you could set back progress for weeks, i see this happen all the times with people choosing the wrong tool for the job or reinventing what already exists in the standard library. Long term maintainability and pragmatism is valued higher by the business.

In my books this choice alone wouldn't be cause for rejection, a good interviewer would question it though and depending on the reaction, it could be. Whether or not that happened here isn't clear. They could also have other even better candidates to pick.

I don't understand this argument. There is accountability: the user or management is always possible to blame.

Say one of my tasks is writing a document, I use a LLM and it tells people to eat rat poison.

But I'm accountable to my boss. My boss doesn't care a LLM did it, my boss cares I submitted something that horrible as completed work.

And if my boss lets that through then my boss is accountable to their boss.

And if my company posts that on the website, then my company is accountable to the world.

Annotations would be useful, sure. But I don't think for one minute they'd release you from any liability. Maybe they don't make it into the final PDF. Or maybe not everyone understands what they're supposed to take away from them. You post it, you'll be held responsible.

False positives aren’t a big problem. There’s more content than I have time to read and my tolerance for reading anything generated is zero. So it’s better to label too much human content as generated and risk ignoring something insightful and human generated.
> If DeepSeek's claims are accurate, then they themselves will be obsolete within a year, because the cost to develop models like this has dropped dramatically. There are going to be a lot of teams with a lot of hardware resources with a lot of motivation to reproduce and iterate from here.

That would be an amazing outcome. For a while I was seriously worried about the possibility that if the trend of way more compute -> more AI breakthroughs continued, eventually AGI would be attained and exclusively controlled by a few people like Sam Altman who have trillions of $$$ to spend, and we’d all be replaced and live on whatever Sam-approved allowance.

Even if you can't be punished retroactively for previous behavior, continuing to benefit from it can be outlawed. In other words, it would be compatible from a legal perspective to ban the use of LLMs that were trained in violation of copyright law.

> There was a documented lab leak with SARS-CoV-1 and it killed the affected researcher's mother. That'd the kind of thing you expect to see in a lab leak.

SARS-1 had a CFR of 11% over all ages, 55% for >65. That's about 10x as deadly as SARS-CoV-2. The situations are thus not comparable--with SARS-CoV-2, we'd expect much more cryptic spread before someone gets sick enough to seek medical attention, and illness much more easily misdiagnosed as flu.

There's also zero question that the WIV had unpublished viruses during the pandemic, since they just published 56 new sequences collected "between 2004 and 2021". So do you really think it's impossible that they actually had 57?

LLMs do whatever you ask them to. They have a default, but they can be directed to use a different response style.

And of course you could build a corpus of text written by Chinese English speakers for more authenticity.
Poles, Czechs etc. also do this and IMHO, their accent sounds quite different from the Russian one.
They sure do have a certain amount of "reasoning".

Here is R1 trying to multiply a large number (successfully): https://gist.github.com/omarabid/038678cc269a3f2db756a7e0825...

If you pick a random combination, there is a very good chance that the combination and the product do not exist anywhere. So the LLM has to "create" it somehow.

It sure goes through a lot (hundreds of lines of self-reflection) but it successfully does the math.

I don't think it is the same kind of "reasoning" as humans, but there is an emergent kind of structure happening here that is allowing for this reasoning.
