All adds up pretty well

former deepmind ceo having received a nobel in chemistry, perhaps a coincidence?

Not entirely correct. This kind of fine-grained model behaviour is built in post training stages, RL, RLHF etc, where model receives rewards or penalties for talking (or not talking) a certain way

"3. a speculative or conjectural view or idea"

(Collins dictionary, noun 'theory')

Must surely exceed P(AI doom)

I've formalised a few dozen papers from 80s-90s with lean and holy cow the number of author's typos and straight up errors and sometimes false statements is pretty scary. The solution path may not be the one indicated or used by the author, but at least you can easily spot all those issues which would have been very hard to do by hand

And c-n / c-p - with those you barely ever need arrow keys

Depends on your field. When one microsecond is considered "hellishly slow", you might reconsider

It's like saying who likes to ride a bicycle in the world of cars, you can do it much easier with a plain steering wheel.

Well... sure it's more efficient (although in some cities and certain routes it's not; same with coding and LLMs). But some of us just love riding the bicycle and enjoying the nature, you know. Perhaps even strengthening our muscles as we do it, as a healthy side effect.

Yes, but then it may sound as if "both/all" is being highlighted which it isn't in the neutral "they are doctors" statement

Not going to lie, I was a bit confused at first (before visiting the link), why would BBC publish an anti-AI post for software developers.

Indulging in musicianship works very well, too. As in, learning a musical instrument, say classical piano, with some external guidance.

You'll have to activate parts of brain you might never had to previously, it's quite some mental gymnastics but also an immersive mind + body + aural connection. You may feel exhausted after an intensive practice session but in a very rewarding way. You'll have to learn to learn differently.

We'd have to wait on LeCun to make progress on that

Artificial general incompetence?

Someone did care enough to create a throwaway account to vent here, it seems.

And how can we tell for sure if it's good or bad? Does killing these birds and mammals help maintain the ecosystem balance (due to these birds and mammals not killing billions other animals down the food chain, or not spreading infections and viruses), or the other way around?

It's also things like being able to change runtime configs in human language without having to turn to computer, eg "please also track when this artist is in my area". Nothing revolutionary, but kinda the whole point? Tell it what to do, it goes off, does some chores and searches, updates some configs so that later on some crons would use them.

You don't stare at your AirPods, they don't create the room vibe, whereas, arguably, the furniture does, along with the lighting.

Otherwise, the weekend should have been called weekedge

So GitHub itself is a trustworthy agent and nothing to do with AI?

Things are not always that simple, eg https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/7/4/better-models-worse-tools/

A pretty good related question is - compute a running median (or window median).

Even, possibly, the other way around in some cases. A seemingly identical program may (and it does occur) compile to a faster machine code in rust than in C++ due to extra markers (eg alignment) that rust compiler is able to provide to llvm.

Or cubizenzic?

What type of software will you not be able to run? Your browser will work just the same, and your dev env and devtools will be just the same, and it's a posix environment. If that's what I need most and it runs just about the same on macos/linux then why not prioritize the hardware?

And that lad is of course an information security engineer

Both have `class` keyword

Foundation series vibes anyone?

If there's no UBs then what will we programmers do, there won't be enough to debug and fix?

Correlation doesn't imply causation
