It's because the types of things people write in Fortran (high performance science codes, for example) tend to be monolithic, single-purpose programs. It comes from a time when a code really was basically one compilation unit (and doing that is such a nice simplification that I support it, for science). With code written for the web, shared through package managers, etc. it makes more sense to use the uncountable noun instead of the countable one.

I get your point - but when I see what you are saying, the focus is on the demand side and price elasticity.

There is definitely an unserved market. Even now, there’s many people who want to purchase the service and can’t afford to.

However, even if we concede your point in its strongest sense - the revenue is a different beast from the profit margins.

Higher labor and compliance costs mean that making things in america is more expensive.

The solution is usually to not pay people that much

In the end a company is measured by its stock performance. Their incentive is to maximize profit.

If the solution is to pay people less, most voters balk.

The point of a signature on paper is that (at least in my country) you can summon somebody in court and ask "is this your signature"? If they say it is, it is, even if it does not look much like any of their other signatures. Then there might be a suspect of false testimony or being blackmailed etc but that's not always the most important issue in a case. E.g.: if it is a contract and all the signers state that they agree with its terms, then there is no much else to discuss.
I have had nothing but good results using the Qwen2.5 and Hermes3 models. The response times and token generation speeds have been pretty fantastic compared against other models I've tried, too.

> Left unchecked, the need to handle support tickets can become a major distraction to the team, hurting efficiency, draining morale, and burning out your best people.

This reads like satire to me - "Supporting the customer who is ultimately paying our salaries can become a major distraction to the team". If the need to handle support tickets has become so overwhelming, maybe your "best people" should be right in the middle of it until they figure out a way to get the entire team out of hell.

Protecting the elite engineers from the consequences of their own designs is a death sentence for a technology startup. I watched this happen in real time myself. The moment you let the developers off the hook, nothing feels real anymore.

The CTO should be leading by example. Getting in front of the customer on the calls. Heading up the nastiest implementations of the product. Grabbing the issues that have been rotting for weeks. Generally, throwing themselves directly in front of the bus at every possible opportunity. If you are the most highly-paid technical person, you need to be the backstop. There is no one behind you to catch anything. The CEO doesn't have time for the bullshit you were supposed to be managing.

Everything else follows from putting yourself in harms way as often as possible. After being ran through the rotten issue wringer for 48 hours, how do we feel about playing with clever noSQL/graph databases or web frameworks with no discernable user base? Does AI make sense for our business or customers? Allow the technology choices and policies to be informed by your daily, real world experience with the business.

In the context of another multilingual model I've heard that the majority of its training was in mainly one language, as that training seems to be applicable to languages added later too. To me that sounds plausible given adding a new language would mean vocabulary & grammar while the understanding of concepts should already be there.

Intuitively adding 140 languages instead of e.g. the 5 most common would otherwise be in conflict with making a small model that fits a single GPU.
After reading the technical report do the effort of downloading the model and run it against a few prompts. In 5 minutes you understand how broken LLM benchmarking is.
> compiling your code for every combination of architecture and platform you plan to deploy to

I mean, on the one hand you are arguing for C FFI and on the other worrying about compiling for every combination of architecture. Those positions seem to be contradictory. Although I guess you're assuming that other people who write the C libraries for you did that work. I guess you better hope libraries exist for every possible performance issue you come across in your cross platform scripting library.

And why limit your runtime to AWS Lambda? That is a constraint you are placing on yourself. Nowadays with docker you can have pretty much any Linux you want as an image. But why not just implement on top of cgroups from scratch? I guess we live a world where that is unthinkable to many. Probably just better to pay AWS. But if you do use docker, all of a sudden worrying about compiling for all of those architectures seems like less of an issue. And you can use ECS, so you can still pay AWS!

As for tooling issues, and there are definitely tooling issues with every language, it is a pick your poison kind of thing. I remember really liking Pascal tooling way back in the day. Smalltalk images have some nifty features. Who doesn't like Lisp, the language that taught us all REPL. Not sure I'd choose them for a project today though.

As LLMs get better, I just assume what constitutes "developer experience" is going to change. Will I even care about how unergonomic writing test cases in Go can be if I can just say "LLM, write a test that covers X, Y, Z case". As long as I can read the resultant output and verify it meets my expectations, I don't care how many characters of code or boilerplate that will force the LLM to generate.

edit: I misread your point about Go test cases but I'll leave my mistake standing. My overall point was the stuff I find annoying to do myself I can just farm out to the LLM. If the cost of writing an experiment is "LLM, give this a try" and if it works great and if not `git checkout`, then I will be ok with something less optimal.

The most disturbing thing is that in the chart it ranks higher than V3. Test a few prompts against DeepSeek V3 and Gemma 3. They are like at two totally different levels, one is a SOTA model, one is a small LLM that can be useful for certain vertical tasks perhaps.

The model performs very poorly in practice, while in the benchmark it is shown to be DeepSeek V3 level. It's not terrible but it's at another level compared to the models it is very close to (a bit better / a bit worse) in the benchmarks.
While I think your example is fine, I think the complaint was more about very long chains. Personally, I like to break them up to give intermediate results names, kinda like using variable names as comments:

var longBooks = books.filter(book => book.pageCount > 1000)

var authorsOfLongBooks = longBooks.map(book => book.author).distinct()
There's almost a brummy (Birmingham) twang to it, interesting
I like how Go provides the "syscall" package in the standard library. It's OS/ARCH specific, and takes every precaution to call the raw thing safely - notably syscall.ForkExec on UNIX platforms (digging thru the source made me really appreciate the scope of their work).

It "feels" very low-level in an otherwise very high-level language, but provides enough power to implement an entire userland from initrd up, libc- and asm-free (check out Gokrazy and u-root).

OpenBSD and Go have always been at odds here. Go really wants to produce static executables whenever possible, and do syscalls directly; OpenBSD really wants to prevent user programs from accidentally creating gadgets. I guess they've settled on dynamically linking ld.so?

Yep, this is a sneaky great feature. Where previously you’d have a sequential scan unless you put in multiple indexes or a bloom filter, you can now get great performance and easy of maintenance at the same time.

>Cursor has been trying to do things to reduce the costs of inference, especially through context pruning. For instance, if you "attach" files to a conversation, Cursor no longer stuffs the code from those files into the prompt. Instead, it'll run function calls to open those files and read bits and pieces of the code until the model feels it has enough information. While that seems like a perfectly reasonable strategy, it starts to fall apart when integrating reasoning models.

In general I feel like this was always the reason automatic context detection could not be good in fixed fee subscription models - providers need to constrain the context to stay profitable. I also saw that things like Claude Code happily chew through your codebase, and bank account, since they are charging by token - so they have the opposite incentive.
Per quick testing the 27b model seems very strong at least in natural language. It produces even good Finnish, in which smaller models tend to really struggle. Very promising.

Edit: Per even quicker testing the Finnish language performance degrades rapidly with the smaller models, as is usually the case. Would be great to have language specific distillations from larger models.
Much better. Maybe mods can update the link.
The fact that you're willing to put in the effort for accents with different words, contractions and pronunciations but not willing to put in the effort for slightly different stress/melody is sadly quite common.

Someone saying "I'm going to pick up my ute in the arvo while I eat a jaffle" - sure, let me look up what that means. Whereas "Kindly do the needful" - no fuck this, you need to learn to fucking speak English.

I'd say the difference isn't what you've pointed out, it's the colour of the skin of the speaker. White people saying anything they feel like - the onus is on the listener to adapt. Brown/black people saying anything - they need to learn to speak English.

> lumping "Scottish" together is already weird

You lumping "Indian" together is equally weird. What's the matter? You can't tell the difference between a Tamil person and Malayali person speaking English? Spare me the condescension, please.

But typescript isn't a minifier or an optimizer. No part of typescript compiles it to anything that looks significantly different (besides enums).

Sure, lots of build tools do this, but that's not Typescript.

With very few exceptions, Typescript is written so that removing the Typescript-specific things makes it equivalent to the Javascript it transpiles to.
Yes, we can see how Big Tech and Apple's huge margins get compressed all the time, they never expand. They are going to zero soon it seems :(

You can't say that in general because it also depends on the moat.

Apple has 75% profitshare in the smartphone market not because they have the best smartphone but because they sell iOS. This is why Apple can charge much higher margins on iPhones then any other smartphone competitor. Competitors use Android and are basically exchangable so their HW is commodity more or less and margins are much lower.

The same will happen with Nvidia. Nvidia will offer complete data center solutions and many other SW/HW solutions for AI and accelerated computing and will charge high margins for that. HW sellers like AMD will sell only chips which will compete with commodity ASICs.
That's an idea we've thought about. However, we think the open source community has already created a very impressive set of language or region-specific finetunes [1] [2]. Also there is a lot of cultural and nuance context in every language that we don't have the capacity to cover sufficiently. So for v3 we focused on creating the best foundational multilingual model.

The inline assembly is not idiomatic. Today you should be using register asm. Here is a RISC-V example:

register long a0 asm("a0") = arg0;
register long syscall_id asm("a7") = n;

asm volatile ("ecall" : "+r"(a0) : "r"(syscall_id));

return a0;

This is an example where a0 is an in/out integer. For memory, change long a0 to a pointer to some struct and add a "m" input or "+m" in/out. It's even easier in other languages like Rust and Zig.
The amount of sunlight is not the zero-sum to worry about. For each of us individually the number of hours that we will spend breathing is limited. Life is therefore absolutely zero-sum, no matter what various sophists try to sell.

What they try to sell is how one spends those limited hours, and more specifically - who do we serve in that time. Those few do have the illusion that life is not a zero-sum game. Until death presents them with the winning argument.

No discernable benefit to you maybe, but every crisis ends up benefiting those at the top as it always leads to a wealth transfer either during the crash phase, or the recovery phase, or both. See 2009 crash, Covid, etc.

Your leadership doesn't work to serve you, they work to serve themselves and the elite. People keep calling Trump a stupid bafoon but how come this stupid bafoon keeps getting richer and richer all the time if he's as stupid as people think him to be?

To whit, how much are you willing to bet that after Trump's mandate is over in 4 years time, both Trump, Elon and all his other cronies, will walk away with a bigger net worth than the one they came in? So no, what you see as stupidity now on the news is actually a carefully orchestrated multi year enrichment plan for the elite covered in bread and circus to distract the plebs, that will become evident as time goes on and events unfold.
