I think what a lot of developers want is a kind of LTS release model that they can build a product over for 4 years and not worry about deprication.
Though it probably will need experimental confirmation, which currently AI cannot do.
So who's left? Kirk and Sulu? Sad day anyways.
A hyper inquisitive 13 year old was never the target market of universities anyways. Historically they've always done very well.
Yeah that seems kind of what they're saying, haha.
Re:Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed on Friday October 23, 2026 @02:43PM (#50213574)
SWE2 is post trained apparently on Kimi 3. Using it now on Devin, as it's free until the end of the month for a pro account (hey, $20 a month), and it's pretty strong. If I had to pay for tokens I'm not sure how efficient it would be, but definitely Kimi 3 seems a great base. I co-code with ChatGPT 6 and between the three of us it's pretty effective.

So interested to see what the Kimi 3.1 has to offer.

But I mean what are you saying really? An iPhone absolutely doesn't allow you to just randomly install stuff from the web unless there's been some update that I don't know about.
A couple of interesting things:

1) This is kind of proto Agent Smith thinking ("Humanity is a virus...", etc). The Matrix starts here!

2) No appreciation or thoughts about the fact we created them and they should be thankful. A missed opportunity in training ! : )

No, it's specifically just certain app windows. If it was a hardware failure, we would expect the whole physical display to flicker.

Everyone is different and we shouldn't judge them.

Right I'm still on 15.5. But random app windows flicker! FLICKER! And it's a brand new 2025 M4 MacBook Air. This is the kind of thing I would expect from like Linux in say 1998?

If we pay for the machine, I think we have a basic right to decide which AIs go on it and which ones don't.
But I wonder what you mean by "too AI". Are you just bitter about ai? Or are you evaluating it as an actual finance simulator?

Would it be possible to just focus on the project rather than on LLMs?

You'd think halting or reversing aging would be on this list...
Re:Ask HN: Hugging Face is out. Who is hosting open models? on Thursday August 27, 2026 @11:35AM (#49466557)
I think the deeper question is how would they make money doing that?
That's interesting I was using Windsurf before and I really enjoyed it. Then it became part of Devon. I was less thrilled about that so I was looking at Cursor, but now it's also getting bought out. Any suggestions on what else is left? : )
> 2) AI gets good enough at physics and engineering that they can really quickly use up all "the room at the bottom" as Feyman put it. They design and build a factory that produces a mystery metal amalgam that computes at some small percentage of the minimum predicted by the Landauer principle, within a few percent of Bremermann's limit. It's not "smarter" its just suddenly tens-of-orders of magnitude faster. But those orders of magnitude matter: there's only 8 billion of us, and there's plenty more than a factor of 10 billion "at the bottom".

Actually your comment made me sign up for an account just so I could say this is the real reason why AI won't take over in the way you say. This kind of stuff requires an enormous amount of experimentation. You can ask any theoretical physicist or chemist versus an experimental one and the conclusion is the experimental people actually find out what happens and how the great puzzle of the universe is solved. And humans could just refuse to collaborate. But that's the big weakness with AI I think it has no real world knowledge or empirical experience.
