> Without hardware documentation, you're looking at decades of reverse engineering effort just to get somewhere half as far as an engineer with hardware documentation can get in a weekend.
I'm not sure this is true anymore and it is becoming less true with each new LLM release.
> No one cares about spending a decade reverse engineering the hardware on a Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy.
Actually, this might a cool idea - just get a few super cheap smartphones, connect them all to a PC, give LLM access and tell it "make linux gud like android pls" and just give it a weekend.
I'm 30, I am trying to achieve what the other person described. I'm not there yet, but I feel like I might be in 8-36 months timeframe. Ask me then, you'll get at least one more data point that's not just survivorship bias.
I've been doing that since before reasoning was a thing baked into the models, it always performs better this way. Except for some providers/models where you just can't easily turn it off, now I just avoid them. This way I save tokens and have full control of the reasoning.
Thank you for putting this here. While I do believe in climate change, I could not finish reading the article as it seemed like the authors opinions are led more by emotions rather than facts. And gourds.
How many euros or kilograms is it?
Better, take a look around. No random mobile focused redesigns to hit a random KPI.
Text only design also invites to focus on the discussion itself. It also has proper moderation.
> It's almost guaranteed with agents you could do the same job with less than half of 100k lines.
That's great, non-test code is only ~47k lines of code.
don't forget Gemini 2.0 flash at $0.10/$0.40
What does Malta manufacture?
That's so interesting. Kind of explains company directions - quality vs quantity.
And what should we do about it? Only allow comments about top X world countries?
To me it is Relative Strenght Index
>For things requiring Play Integrity, I picked up a $20 burner carrier-locked Motorola phone at Walmart for $30.`
So it's a $30 burner phone, not $20?
What? Training is not inference. Reading books is not the same as writing.
Does it matter what size the cup is? Usually you get the same amount of coffee water + additional water/milk/whatever.
I've been burned on openrouter getting routed through terrible quants with equally terrible quality. While paying maybe 15% less.
Nearly a year ago it was impossible to avoid it due to silly openrouter routing algorithm and the api. You had to set multiple things just right to make it work.
Similar to their other api quirks. You want valid json format response? sure, set response_format to "json" just like our documentation suggests. Oh, it only works some of the time? How silly, why would you expect it to work all of the time? If you want it to work more often, set require_params to true. We may still use other providers that don't offer it, but you want that, right? You don't? Well, then set our "very_require_params" to "very_true". And then switch a few toggles in the frontend. Oh and also add these 7 lines just so your other config options don't break. Oh wait they will break, how silly of us Is there any way to make it work as advertised? Of course no!
Sorry for the semi-offtopic rant. I still use them every day though, but not for open models anymore.
I'd argue there are `50 years / planck time` better times to plant a tree than now.
More fair comparison would be writing/talking about Russian language in English. That way you'd still focus on Russian. Same way with programming - it's not like you stop seeing any code. So why should you forget it?
If you work in marketing, you forgot to give us a link.
So, now that we're all here, what are you up to?
Nah, it's a decade away from *now*.
I'll admit, my brain was DDoSed by the article and I thought that maybe posting it here will get us someone with more DDoS proof brain to dissect it.
What if it is the quality of data? Internet is full of terrible python/js, but probably not Elixir.
I found it interesting that Elixir scores so high, but I'm not sure whether I can agree with the cause.
