this seems false given this just launched?

Really suprising result that new public Github repositories haven't increased much. I wonder what actually caused the downtrend?

I'd be curious to see this article updated in a few months; post Opus 4.5 and other model updates we had towards the end of 2025.

I analyzed 10 years of Hacker News data (2016-2025) to track Show HN submission trends.- Show HN posts went from ~900/month (2016-2019) to 3,315 in Dec 2025- Share of all stories: 2.4% (2016) → 12.8% (Dec 2025)- Notable spikes: COVID-19 (2020), AI boom (2023), and accelerating growth through 2024-2025Data source: HackerBook (144k Show HN posts / 3.4M total stories)

that's a really good analogy! It feels like wicked joke that llms behave in such a way that they're both intelligent and stupid at the same time

exactly! I think that was tesla's vision with self-driving to begin with... so they tried to frame it as problem general enough, that trying to solve it would also solve questions of more general intelligence ('agi') i.e. cars should use vision just like humans would

but in hindsight looks like this slowed them down quite a bit despite being early to the space...

loved the analogies! Karpathy is consistently one of the clearest thinkers out there.

interesting that Waymo could do uninterrupted trips back in 2013, wonder what took them so long to expand? regulation? tailend of driving optimization issues?

noticed one of the slides had a cross over 'AGI 2027'... ai-2027.com :)
