Visual Studio Code is an interesting case study. I don't know how I'd categorize it.

In the past I've noted how absolutely glacial it is with some tasks, and it's baffling to me how this stuff doesn't drive folks insane (much like the enjoyment of web apps is baffling to me), I guess people just care about different things:

1. It takes nine times as long as Vim to open a minified JavaScript file, and then format it with Prettier: https://twitter.com/robenkleene/status/1285631026648276993

2. It takes 14 times as long to open an empty text file than BBEdit: https://twitter.com/robenkleene/status/1257724392458661889

(Note those time trials are years old, this may be different now.)

But even though VS Code is objectively slow for some tasks, I would still categorize it as extremely high-quality software. So at the end of the day, I don't know. VS Code isn't for me, but I'm not confounded by it having fans the same way I'm confounded by web apps in general having fans.
If you say so. Telegram for example updates in half a second on my Windows gaming machine, and having a daily update script on my Mac and Linux machines is easy as hell.

Sure many people don't update like ever, but Apple's and Microsoft's app stores do updates without asking people anyway (they learned, finally).

Not such a big problem as you make it out to be IMO, even for very casual non-technical users.

I think OpenAI really needs to rethink its product naming, especially now that they have a portfolio where there's no such clear hierarchy, but they have a place along different axis (speed, cost, reasoning, capabilities, etc).

Your summary attempt e.g. also misses o3-mini vs o3-mini-high. Lots of trade-ofs.

I guess this derives from what you think the most common form of skill assessment error we are meant to deal with.

Let me ask you this, what is the principle or goal you want to achieve? is it more fairness, or more effective systems, or maybe even better conditions for white american men (and to me, this is ok. Its just what you want to optimize for)
This time, it is a save-face release, especially because Azure, AWS, and OpenRouter have started offering DeepSeek
The interesting question to me is how far these reasoning models can be scaled. With another 12 months of compute scaling (for synthetic data generation and RL) how good will these models be at coding? I talked with Finbarr Timbers (ex-DeepMind) yesterday about this and his take is that we'll hit diminishing returns – not because we can't make models more powerful, but because we're approaching diminishing returns in areas that matter to users and that AI models may be nearing a plateau where capability gains matter less than UX.
Is it AGI yet?
same thing happened to me at about 3 am one morning. I'm thinking the house is burning down. Eventually find out there is no fire. Get the ladder, take down the smoke alarm. Go to remove the battery. On the back it says "non replaceable battery, unit can not be serviced". So sledge hammer + trash can it is!

The next day I tell my landlord I destroyed the thing and need a new one. His reply was that I had vandalized his property.

This is definitely an ambitious project, and I worry that you are biting off more than you can chew in doing so. (I've attempted my fair share of debugger projects in the past).

At a low level, one of the main problems is that Linux's kernel interfaces for debugging are just absolute trash. (I see you have multithreaded support mentioned as a future task item, and that's one of the areas where you discover just how bad it really is). And of course ptrace composes somewhat poorly with, well, anything else, so if you want to use perf_event or eBPF to help drive the low-level stuff, well, combining everything into a single event loop is just painful. (Oh, and the documentation for all of this stuff sucks.)

At the medium level, everything is hampered by the number of secret handshakes that go on between the compiler, the linker, the runtime loader, the debugger. And the chronic issue that, in the debugger, you have to be prepared for the possibility that everything is just catastrophically wrong: your stack might be garbage (or downright nonexistent), the thread-local storage register might be a garbage value, variables may have values that don't make sense. After all, you're resorting to a debugger when things don't work, and part of the reason why it might not be working is because you've accidentally corrupted everything.

And at the high level, there's the UI which, as someone who doesn't work on UI, I find terrifying in its own right.

Trying to solve not one of these issues, but all of them, at once, in a new project is ambitious. I'd personally prefer a lot more a project that only tried to tackle one slice of the stack, not all of it.
I sympathize with small companies in this regard. But those like Microsoft and Slack have exactly zero excuses.
What is the comparison of this versus DeepSeek in terms of good results and cost?
Interesting that they are doubling down on censorship ("safety and robustness"), given that a major advantage of DeepSeek is its lack of refusals in deployed variants and open weights (can't patch-in more censorship in weights after the fact).

Why Neural Code Retrieval Is Overrated
It came out in the Epic trial that 90% of App Store revenue comes from pay to win games and loot boxes. Most of the other popular apps on either store are clients to services where Apple doesn’t get a cut at all.

You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t feel sorry for those types of apps - the 90%.

There's no moat, and they have to work even harder.

Likewise. It's fine for transient balances but I wouldn't hold anything in USDT for longer than a few minutes. If I was going to pick one thing that would be the next major scandal, Tether would be it.
why should anyone use this when deepseek is free/cheaper?

openai is no longer relevant.
How would the DeepSeek fit into this?

Or can it not compare? I don't know much about this stuff, but I've heard recently many people talk about DeepSeek and how unexpected it was.
Wait, have we actually started eating the rich already? I thought that was just a saying.
I think OpenAI should just have a single public facing "model" - all these names and versions are confusing.

Imagine if Google, during it's accent, had a huge array of search engines with code names and notes about what it's doing behind the scenes. No, you open the page and type in box. If they can make it work better next month, great.

(I understand this could not apply to developers or enterprise-type API usage).

If this is the hierarchy, why does 4o score so much higher than o1 on LLM Arena?

Worrisome for OpenAI that Gemini's mini/flash reasoning model outscores both o1 and 4o handily.
If you read his book, he’s using an unconventional definition of “monopoly.”

It’s more about being so competent as a company that you get large network effects as a moat.

He specifically states that he doesn’t support anti-competitive practices by monopolies.

The common example of this was early Google, that grew into a monopoly by being better than all the competition by a significant margin.
And how does that help? You’re going from the 3rd largest cloud provider to the first and second?

Apple already runs some of its workloads on AWS. It was an open secret inside AWS before. But they brought an Apple person on stage at the last reinvent
99% of Gmail users would not pay for the service, and would just move to other provider. I don’t know how you can think they can operate as a subscription service and act like nothing changes.
No, but you'd think they could charge a battery/capacitor during the good times and use that charge during the outage.
Oh look, another model. Yay.
It's like AWS SKU naming (`c5d.metal`, `p5.48xlarge`, etc.), except non-technical consumers are expected to understand it.
Sure as a clock, tick follows tock. Can't imagine trying to build out cost structures, business plans, product launches etc on such rapidly shifting sands. Good that you get more for your money, I suppose. But I get the feeling no model or provider is worth committing to in any serious way.
Hmm, not seeing it in my dashboard yet (Tier 4)
A lot of it is indirect dependencies, and most of the direct dependencies in the go.mod are just for benchmarks, as far as I can tell.
The way you describe it makes it sound like Vance is perfectly positioned to know how bad big tech is, so what are you trying to say? That once someone has benefited from a system they mustn't criticize it?

I’ll take the China Deluxe instead, actually.

I’ve been incredibly pleased with DeepSeek this past week. Wonderful product, I love seeing its brain when it’s thinking.
Is it possible people are voting for speed of responsiveness too?
It doesn’t need to. It’s a part of the platform. It’s a necessity.

But I’m sure they make some money off of the Uber/Lyft integration
I find quite interesting they're releasing three compute levels (low, medium, high), I guess now there's some way to cap the thinking tokens when using their API.

Pricing for o3-mini [1] is $1.10 / $4.40 per 1M tokens.

I really wish they would open up the reasoning effort toggle on o1 API. o1 Pro Mode is still the best overall model I have used for many complex tasks.
I don't think OpenAI is training on your data. At least they say they don't, and I believe that. I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA or something has access to data if they request it or something though.

But DeepSeek clearly states in their terms of service that they can train on your API data or use it for other purposes. Which one might assume their government can access as well.

We need direct eval comparisons between o3-mini and DeepSeek.. Or, well they are numbers so we can look them up on leaderboards.
Yeah I tried my best :(

I think they could've borrowed a page out of Apple's book, even mountain names would be better. Plus Sonoma, Ventura, and Yosemite are cool names.
hmm. i must have had a stroke within the last 5 minutes because i don't remember complaining about anything.

perhaps the stroke was on your side?
They're strongly tied to Microsoft, so confusing branding is to be expected.
Not OP, but Gmail is and could continue to be ad supported. Gmail also is a subscription service offered to enterprises, and it is a very lucrative service for Google.

It uses GPT-4o mini to extract updates from the website using scrapegraphai so this is kinda meta :). Maybe I'll switch to o3 mini depending on cost. It's reasoning abilities, with a lower cost than o1, could be quite powerful for web scraping.
> While OpenAI o1 remains our broader general knowledge reasoning model, OpenAI o3-mini provides a specialized alternative for technical domains requiring precision and speed.

I feel like this naming scheme is growing a little tired. o1 is for general knowledge reasoning, o3-mini replaces o1-mini but might be more specialized than o1 for certain technical domains...the "o" in "4o" is for "omni" (referring to its multimodality) but the reasoning models start with "o" ...but they can't use "o2" for trademark reasons so they skip straight to "o3" ...the word salad is getting really hard to follow!
I posted a verge article first but then checked and saw the openai blog and posted that. I'd guess it's the officialness / domain that makes ppl click on this so easily.

> There's the idealized America that we learn about in school, then there's America as it is.

I strongly dislike this take.

There is the idealized America that we wish America was, and there is an entire continuum from that point all the way to "no functioning state at all Mad Max hellhole". Treating all points that are not exactly at "idealized America" as equivalent discards a massive amount of nuance and effectively makes it impossible to advocate for incremental change.

Yes, America is not perfect. But that doesn't mean that the America we had before Trump's massive corruption is identical to the American we have today.
Which pays Google…
Deepseek V3 is equivalent to 4o. Deepseek R1 is equivalent to o1 (if not better)

The real heated contest here amongst the top AI labs is to see who can come up with the most confusing product names.
Haven't used openai in a bit -- whyyy did they change "system" role (now basically an industry-wide standard) to "developer"? That seems pointlessly disruptive.
>And I don't like road bridges made of concrete and steel, preferring popsicle sticks. But engineering is not driven by feelings, so this is irrelevant.

The issue is you think I'm saying it has to be made out of popsicle sticks. I'm saying it you can use wood or steel and your saying something along the lines of ONLY use steel. Steel is the only way! That's go.

You're just going off into complete fantasy land thinking that my examples don't work. My examples work. Your examples also work. But my examples are MORE intuitive and simple. Your examples are convoluted and strange.

>No, like you said earlier, you are creating a classification. The thing being classified isn't expressible. The languages we have are too limited for that. As a workaround we carry an implied assumption that underneath a classification lies a thing, but as you are finding out that quickly breaks down when there is not a clean association between the thing and the classification.

When YOU instantiate the class, you are creating a THING. The instantiation is an expression of THAT thing.

Maybe you're referring to a type so narrow that it can only contain One thing? I believe TS has some ability to do this and Idris as well. Basically dependently typed languages allow this.

>I like what you are thinking, though. I can see how our programming languages could be a lot better if there was such expressibility. But what that looks like is an unsolved computer science problem, I'm afraid.

I don't think you have a clue about what you're talking about.

>No. Definitely not. We touched on it briefly at the beginning, which is perhaps what is confusing you, but we long moved past that to discuss how one might model the world, namely with expression in natural language, but to a lesser extent all programming languages.

No you moved on. I stayed on topic. I'm just using models of the world to show you how stupid go is. There are certain models of the world Go can't handle. That's all I'm doing. But I guess the details are getting too complicated for you that you inadverdantly lost track and moved on.

>English also makes you do this. Failure to will result in an "aktshually, ..." error.

Is this supposed to be a joke? English supports circular dependencies. Your equivalent of an error in english is a grammar error. Circular dependencies don't trigger a grammar error.

If you're trying to make a joke it's not even funny.
Exactly. This [1] headline from the NYT pretty much sums up the issue: "To Make Orchestras More Diverse, End Blind Auditions."

Different groups of peoples have different strengths and different weaknesses. This isn't some sort of a problem that needs fixing.

And if one does want to 'fix' it you need to start way earlier than at the e.g. hiring point. Want to beat that kid who's been playing violin for hours a day since he was 6? Ok, then your target demographic is 6 year olds, not professional orchestras.

We do lots of long roadtrips with the kids. So switching between child specific playlists or audiobooks is something we have to do.

Android Auto was honestly a game changer. Good voice controls, minimum distractions, and if you do have to interact with it it's fairly minimal.
I had no idea the Atari 2600 was a 6502 (actually 6507) machine until I saw the A9 (load accumulator) instructions in the machine code snippets on this article, despite having an Atari 2600 as a kid. A9 is burned into my head from sixth form electronics, where we would have to manually convert assembly to hex and key it into the boards we used.
What's in von der Leyen's plan to save the EU economy?
"Through this incident I've learned people should instead contact their home insurance company and get an approved list of vendors to choose from."

I don't agree with this. Never contact your insurance company unless you plan on filing a claim, just asking for this list is equivalent to a claim.

If you have a valid claim, your insurance can't force you to use a list of vendors. You can choose any vendor you want to. The vendors work/cost must be appropriate.
I would love the wired ones to just have a built in super capacitor; enough to give it 5-10 min (minimum) runtime during a power outage. No Battery. ONLY alarm loudly for sensor detects possible smoke (known positive detection), very softly for sensor broken (failed self test).
Anyone else confused by inconsistency in performance numbers between this announcement and the concurrent system card? https://cdn.openai.com/o3-mini-system-card.pdf

Also, how should we interpret the 3 different shading colors in the barplots (white, dotted, heavy dotted on top of white)...
Hopefully this is a big improvement from o1.

o1 has been very disappointing after spending sufficient time with Claude Sonnet 3.5. It's like it actively tries to gaslight me and thinks it knows more than I do. It's too stubborn and confidently goes off in tangents, suggesting big changes to parts of the code that aren't the issue. Claude tends to be way better at putting the pieces together in its not-quite-mental-model, so to speak.

I told o1 that a suggestion it gave me didn't work and it said "if it's still 'doesn't work' in your setup..." with "doesn't work" in quotes like it was doubting me... I've canceled my ChatGPT subscription and, when I really need to use it, just go with GPT-4o instead.
I feel like not answering the door is actually the harder thing for some people to do as it can feel like you're being rude or otherwise not doing this thing you feel wired to be doing. I think it's actually a great exercise to do that and experience that there's no consequences to having respect for your own time.

I have a no soliciting sign and those who ignore it (basically all of them according to camera events) are 100% in the wrong, are being rude, and do not deserve a wave-off.
I might be missing some context here - to what specific context does your comment refer to?
I'm asking because I don't see you in the conversation and you comments seems an out of context self-promoting plug.
I disagree.

If the product fails due to timing but succeeds years later without having changed dramatically, I would argue that this was a good product from the start (despite having no users).
