I can support it.

On my laptop it takes minutes to load and hung on turn four. I never got past that because reloading also took 5 minutes.

On my desktop, it simply would not run.

I requested a refund as my 5 minutes of gameplay had only measured 49 minutes in steam so I was under the magical 2 hours of frustration limit
> The only time I’d ever consider an LTS anything at this point is for early-stage startups that just cannot pay that cost.

You're touching on the deeper truth here. Ultimately you are forced to touch production all the time for at least security updates. The question is whether you have people on staff who know the system, at all levels of the stack. If you do, then there is only pain by taking the LTS route, because you will have a fundamental divide between the people who need the latest features and the people who know the specific LTS release.

But if you have people who treat the lower level like a black box, and nobody on staff knows how it works, then LTS helps you derisk this black box that nobody knows by restricting the updates to security updates only and nothing that is supposed to break existing behavior. Then, when upgrading LTS releases, you treat the LTS upgrade as a project in and of itself (full QA, the whole nine yards) instead of some day-to-day maintenance running on autopilot.

Most SaaS stacks run by startups / grow-ups should have people familiar with every level of the stack that they're building on top of. If you don't, build on top of a managed service instead, and be familiar with the managed service's APIs instead.
As context sizes get larger (and remain accurate within the size) and speeds increase, especially inference, it will start solving these large complex code bases.

I think people lose sight of how much better it has gotten in just a few years.
You've got to wonder how they'd use the money productively. At least OpenAI actually has a lot of customers and use for the infrastructure.
yeah that's why I think the actual numbers would be interesting. Are there more kids being fed YouTube on a tablet, or developers/students listening to lo-fi while coding/learning/writing essays :)

In any case, what numbers would you assume?
“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk said.

They didn't come up with a plan, because it's obviously impossible to solve world hunger with $6 billion. If it was possible, why USAID $40 billion annually couldn't do it.

As far as I know the HomePod static problem is caused by failing capacitors. It's a hardware problem, not software.
Knowing the difference between programmers able to generate AI code vs those who can actually explain it matters. If orgs can do that, then firing programmers should be fine. If they can't, things might get ugly for some but not all.
This is missing the fact that budding programmers will also embrace these technologies, in order to get stuff done and working and fulfill their curiosity. They will in fact grow up to be much more "AI native" than current more senior programmers, except that they are turbocharging their exploration and learning by having, well, a full team of AI programmers at their disposal.

I see it like when I came of age in the 90ies, with my first laptop and linux, confronted with the older generation that grew up on punchcards or expensive shared systems. They were advocating for really taking time to write your program out on paper or architecting it up front, while I was of the "YOLOOOO, I'll hack on it until it compiles" persuasion. Did it keep me from learning the fundamentals, become a solid engineer? No. In fact, the "hack on it until it compiles" became a pillar of today's engineering: TDD, CI/CD, etc...

It's up to us to find the right workflows for both mentoring / teaching and for solid engineering, with this new, imo paradigm-changing technology.
> I’ve definitely met people that were equally competent at both

Tbh this is a meaningless statement. How on earth is any sane person supposed to compare competencies?

I both describe myself as full-stack and associate with other people who do the same. There isn't a single person among us who would try to pitch ourselves as equally competent on the front end and the back end. Who would do this? Why? To what end? This simply ignores why people actually use the term "full stack": to indicate willingness to take on work, not competency.
I doubt it considering the flurry of pro-Hitler tweets Kanye put out over the past few days (before getting banned from Twitter)
What is the difference between this, and a LLM query like 'make a coloring page with a fluffy cat made of hearts'?
I thought about it & decided against it. It'd be buggy, complicated, & undoable. People should just manually search & replace things. There's even a first level search to help people get started.
Ah yes, Ive seen this episode of Seinfeld.

I actually think it is just the public nature of it all. If there's a bunch of twitter posts on your page complaining about the product being crap that you're ignoring that already says something. Whereas if you resolve them in public you've turned bad PR into good PR. But bad customer service when they call in is just a rumor.
The largest context that I am aware that an open-source model (e.g. qwen) can manage is 1M tokens. This should translate to ~30kLoC. I'd envision that this could in theory work even on large codebases. It certainly depends on the change to be done but I can imagine that ~30kLoC of context is large enough for most of the module-specific changes. Possibly the models that you're using have a much smaller context window?

Then again, and I am repeating myself from other comments I made here in the topic, there's also Devon which pre-processes the codebase before you can do anything else. That kinda makes me wonder if current limitations that people observe in using those tools are really representative of what might be the current state of the art.
if you're using the Hindu one, sure? there's different traditional designs for it.
I agree with the prices, but you say you have a 3080, which has a higher max power draw than the 5080 or 4080. Power requirements actually went down
People want their AI stocks to go up. So they say things like sky is the limit and jobs are not going away (aka please don't regulate) in one sentence. I think only one of this is true.
as someone who is paying $0.50 per kwh, id also like to include kw per 1000 tokens or something to give me a sense of cost of ownership these local systems
Why illegitimate? The Americans voted for him.
Not too soon though. There’s a sweet spot for this where you’re not the guinea pig, but it’s recent enough that the target you’re upgrading to has not yet changed.

Once you’re more than one major version back, you risk hitting all kinds of issues.
It's been noted that LLM's output quality decays as they ingest more LLM generated content in their training. Will the same happen for LLM generated code as more and more of the code on Github is generated by LLMs? What then?
Sure.

Older people are always going to complain about younger people not learning something that they did. When I graduated in 1997 and started working I remember some topics that were not taught but the older engineers were shocked I didn't know it from college.

We keep creating new knowledge. It is impossible to fit everything into a 4 year curriculum without deemphasizing some other topic.

I learned Motorola 68000 assembly language in college. I talked to a recent computer science graduate and he had never seen assembly before. I also showed him how I write static HTML in vi the same way I did in 1994 for my simple web site and he laughed. He showed me the back end to their web site and how it interacts with all their databases to generate all the HTML dynamically.
> That’s what people said about outsourcing too.

And they were right... and a lot of companies fully failed because of it.

And the corporate meat grinder kept rolling forward anyway. And the decision makers were all shielded from the consequences of their incompetence anyway.

When the market is completely corrupted, nothing means anything.
I frankly don't believe those numbers at all. They've massively pumped it through integration with Instagram, and have integrated dark patterns around profile creation and follows based entirely on Instagram social networks. Yes, a lot of people do actively use Threads, but it's absolutely not a first class social network [yet].
Just what we all need: another nonsensical monthly subscription with "simple, transparent pricing".

Congrats on shipping.

I'm curious how commodotized the underlying LLM's are for generating this type of code? (And thereby, how big the moat is for companies like vercel/bolt surrounding v0 et al).

What models are you using to power the code editor? Did it require much customization?

Is it likely that enterprises would be able to eventually bring their own LLM's, or does the training make that prohibitive?
The fact that the client is actually going to use the text and they will not find it funny when they're being laughed at. Or worse, being sued because of some situation caused by a confusion. I read Asian novels and you can quickly (within a chapter) discern if the translators have done a good job (And there's so many translation notes if the author relies on cultural elements).
Nowadays, challenges of scaling up a AI application are often how to elastically getting a large amount of GPUs.

The article linked in another comment pointed out that cost per transistor keeps falling, and it's just the fast increasing fixed costs that make it seem otherwise.

"Is a good propaganda tool" doesn't keep a website up, engineers do. It's losing money because a bunch of major advertisers pulled out, not because there's not enough engineers to keep it online.

I use it daily and can't remember the last outage.
Hey thanks for your feedback. Yes you have to create account for further generations!
> but we don't have enough people doing that to get quality data

But how are we supposed to get enough people doing those things if everyone say "There isn't enough data right now for it to be useful"? We have to start somewhere
It was always cutthroat, just the reality could be hidden from the rank and file when there was so much low hanging fruit leading to organic growth
Shopify President Harley Finkelstein told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” Tuesday that the website’s owners “had an entire day” to prove they weren’t violating the company’s policies, “which did not happen.” ... “The moment we realized this was not actually a real commerce practice, they weren’t actually engaging in authentic commerce, we pulled it down,” Finkelstein said.

Not "engaging in authentic commerce" sounds like it wasn't taken down because of the swastikas, but because the shirts weren't actually for sale?
>LLMs have completely transformed multiple industries already.

If this was true we would see the results in productivity and unemployment stats. We don't though, so far the effect hasn't registered.
Apparently not, according to their quarterly earnings reports: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1092227/facebook-product...
Makes perfect sense, thank you.

Also, I looked it up, and apparently on Linux it's a 65536 byte buffer.
I think the main point is: the first generation does not work.
To be fair, his argument is valid for FSD! We have fully deployed FSD in multiple US cities now!
While data can be used in a relational way, it doesn't mean that's the best for performance or storage. Important systems usually require compliance (auditing) and need things like soft deletion and versioning. Relational databases come to a crawl with that need.

Sure you can implement things to make it better, but it's layers added that balloon the complexity. Most robust systems end up requiring more than one type of database. It is nice to work on projects with a limited scope where RDBMS is good enough.
Postmortem: The singular design of Namco's Katamari Damacy (2004)
The Kaleido panels features in this article indeed do 4096 colors, but the Spectra 6 panels also from E-ink can be a bit more - they mix particles of 6 different primary colors, and with some advanced dithering in place you can get pretty impressive results that really look quite pleasing.

Still, there's a lot of details to consider and trade-ofs to make wrt/ content, and Spectra refresh is also dead-slow.

Perhaps to their credit, E-Ink isn't even trying to hide the refresh in their marketing material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr_EQaqTK0M (second half has a lot of examples of poster-sized Spectra 6 and Spectra 3100 panels).

You want to replace comma with space or newline, and use parentheses to disambiguate subexpressions.

I'm not convinced this is better than what you are replacing.
Is that because the languages being used at your shop have largely abstracted away memory bug issues? If you were to get a job writing embedded systems, or compilers, or OSes, wouldn't your knowledge be more highly valued and sought after (assuming you were one of the more senior devs)?

Many other countries are also non-extradition to the US, for various reasons including reciprocity and how the US treats its criminals. It’s definitely not unique to Cuba.
> If DOGE was serious about finding cost savings, they would start with the biggest budget hog, the one that has never once passed an audit in its entire history – the Pentagon.

I imagine that's the goal, but we're literally just a few weeks in and a large amount of the DoD is extremely secretive and difficult to access by the elected government (which is concerning enough as it is). From what I understand they are already moving to downsize the FBI, and the more secretive three letter agencies will hopefully follow.

> Preventing the release of existing supplies of medicine and food to literal starving children in third world countries.

This is really your strongest point, but if you look at the US track record abroad, most of that aid is damage control for wars/coups/etc. started directly or indirectly by the US. Most of those people, and certainly US taxpayers, would be better off with no US influence in the long run. Whether that will actually happen under this administration remains to be seen.
Oh there's plenty of order, not so much on the law side.
> 'Deskstar' seems to be gone, though.

Considering we used to call them deathstars, I'm surprised they didn't get rid of the line sooner...
My work puts me in a similar position, but when they've gone bankrupt, and I see same thing. It's common to not invest in good enough developers early enough to manage to delete, refactor, upgrade and otherwise clean their software in time to be able to handle growth or stagnation on the business side.

Once I saw a software that was built mostly by one person, in part because he did the groundwork by pushing straight to main with . as the only commit message and didn't document anything. When they ended up in my lap he had failed for six months to adapt their system to changes in the data sources they depended on.

Sometimes the business people fucks up too, like using an excellent software system to do credit intensive trading without hedging for future interest raises.

I'm not so sure machines will solve much on either side even though some celebrities say they're sure they will.
Question for those familiar with political law: why do these powers even exist? Why is it possible for one person to unilaterally dismiss or pardon criminal charges at all?
Preach it. I'm holding tight to my heirloom all stainless steel scissors with "don't-run-with-scissors" sharp ends.

On the other hand, we aren't being advised not to run with scissors any more.
I am personally fed up with AI and subscriptions. Your site has both.

I love Liz Cook, she's one of the best food writers around.
I used to be enamored with computers, fascinated at the magic. Now I use my skills to help elderly neighbors, non-profits, co-ops, and other ~public services. I see more clearly the layers upon layers on which computers are built, and I think back to Hugh Howey's Wool omnibus; put too much stock in these complicated things we make and when the next collapse occurs it'll be worse because we'll have eroded much of the skills, practices, values and culture that got humanity to this point in the first place. I'm not even pushing hard for my child to learn to read and write on an urgent timeline; sure, that "basic" technology is important, but more important is secure attachment with family and friends, and ability to be both creative and discerning. We're a story-driven species, and increasingly I narrow my computer use to serve this.

Even though videogames are largely about story, I finally quit (again- my post history might show I've quit before) weeks ago, deleting all my online game accounts (even Steam! Before a few months ago I never imagined I would do such a thing) and giving away my Steam Deck. No regerts at all- I feel unburdened, as I always do when it's time to let go of another grappling hook.
I'm in my 40s btw, and it's been a long road of decluttering, mentally and physically.

My point is, computers are just a tool, a very complex tool that few if any of us can make in our workshop anymore (I'm thinking mostly of people with less than, say, double what they need for subsistence, and I'm no fan of systems that allow for massive wealth accumulation by a few individuals- a few of them may well have the knowledge, skills, abilities, and control of resources to make a modern computer in their workshop, depending on to what degree we consider others' labor to be owned), and I don't see them as necessary to a meaningful life.

I am digging into one of the BSDs, to get further away from gaming (it's an addiction for me, so I'm reducing triggers), because I like using old hardware (embodied energy, Reduce/Reuse/"Recycle"), and because I'm curious- I'm not out of my own intermittent depression, and I make time to tinker with computers only when I choose to. Rehabilitating the land to sustain us is far more important and engaging, including reading, observing, exploring, wondering, and a lot of communication (local politics, in a constructive way, towards participatory democracy).

good luck!

If you have genuine systems programming knowledge, usually the answer is to innovate on a particular toolchain or ship your own product (I understand you may not like business stuff though.)
Hard to argue with those WDC/Toshiba numbers. Seagate's are just embarrassing in contrast.

(HGST drives -- now WDC -- were great, but those are legacy drives. It's been part of WD for some time. The new models are WDC branded.)
I agree, and I also share your experience (guess I was a bit earlier with PHP).

I think what's left out though is that this is the experience of those who are really interested and for whom "it's not satisfying" to stay there.

As tech has turned into a money-maker, people aren't doing it for the satisfaction, they are doing it for the money. That appears to cause more corner cutting and less learning what's underneath instead of just doing the quickest fix that SO/LLM/whatever gives you.
Yeah, Neonazis who know they are lying do that constantly.
>>M4 Pro has less memory bandwidth than the P40, so it would be slower

Why do you say this? I thought the p40 only had a memory bandwidth of 346 Gbytes/sec. The m4 is 546 GB/s. So the macbook should kick the crap out of the p40.
This kind of thing is one of my pet peeves.

The author is not doing math about how many Fridays are in February at all. The calendar does not change based on your physical movements. The author is actually answering the question "how many Fridays is it possible for you to experience in a month", not "how many Fridays are in a month".

Those are two entirely different things.

If you are traveling fast enough to experience increased daylight because you are staying on the lit side of the globe for longer, it's not correct to say you've increased the number of daylight hours in a day in some kind of objective way. You've only increased the number of daylight hours you've experienced.
> Add to the fact that 99% of Bluetooth headphones are lossy anyways and you're left overoptimizing.

Perhaps somewhat counterintuitively, Bluetooth headphones is actually a use case where lossless audio helps the most, as you're avoiding double-lossy compression. SBC XQ isn't that bad, but it gets much worse when what you feed it is already lossy.

That's great advice when you're building a simple CRUD app - use the paved roads for the 10^9th instance.

It's terrible advice when you're building something that will cause that boring tech to fall over. Or when you've reached the limits of that boring tech and are still growing. Or when the sophisticated tech lowers CPU usage by 1% and saves your company millions of dollars. Or when that sophisticate tech saves your engineers hours and your company 10s of millions. Or just: when the boring tech doesn't actually do the things you need it to do.
You can often cut off the frayed ends and splice the wires back together. There's usually only 4-5 wires in there and they're color coded so they're simple to match back up.
FWIW I 100% concede that there are uses for LTS systems. For things where active development means releasing a new product that customers replace their old one with, go for it. For systems not under active development like a nuclear plant control system, go for it.

I don’t think those audiences make up a significant mass of HN readership, so my comments aren’t targeted at them. For your SaaS company with 20 services and growing? You will have less pain from constantly upgrading than you will from adopting LTS releases.
That's a different symbol, however.
