seems like Russia has achieved the paradoxical form of government where it is both a perfect direct democracy and a fascist dictatorship

> inherently pointless

there is no shortage of so-called studies about LLMs that inexplicably use comically old and bad models like gpt-4o to reach a strong conclusion about the ineffectiveness of LLMs in general

one cannot help to suspect that this specific kind of academic malpractice does in fact have a point which is to undermine the technology as a whole out of fear, to keep the academic "consensus" in favor of tenured academics

and yet the bitter lesson keeps on getting bitter

Please note that I did not imply devs won't exist in my contrived fantasy.

Who do you think will be operating those mythological tools?:)

someday we will have models that can resolve physics to such degree to predict the future with surgical accuracy and when someone says "maybe models will become advanced enough to create a whole other universe from scratch" you will be there saying "highly doubt it"

don't ask how the sausage is made

You have an US-centric (an really naive) view of the judicial systems of the world. In many countries the judges have to follow the exact letter of the law. In others, this "spirit of the law" excuse makes way for enabling systemic corruption.

The reason is self evident: central planning regulatory hell is incompatible with inovation.

You are incredibly naive. There is one on every street, they are just called "sports bars" instead of casinos.

You're probably talking about the big Vegas style entire-hotel casino that aren't so popular in Europe anyway outside a niche crowd. The average lower class Spanish person frequents these "sports bars" heavily

>It’s literally text prediction, isn’t it?

you are discovering that the favorite luddite argument is bullshit

> the EU currently has the most user-friendly laws when it comes to data protection

This is laughable. The EU has the most big-tech regulatory capture friendly data laws that make it really hard for small companies to compete, nicely packaged under consumer protection pretenses.

Those same laws give the institutions of the state complete and total right to silently wiretap the digital existence of anyone, at any time, for any reason.

This is one of the best parts of agentic development. I almost never had to reach for any npm package besides the foundational staples like the tailwinds and react queries. My pacakge.json dependency array vs project size ratio is just incredible nowadays

>pedophilic fascist speed freaks

the LLMs have a wider vocabulary, argument range and worldview nuance than whatever the dogma of the month or whatever the fuck this is

the sudden left turn into political bullshit really left a sour taste

and it's mostly just the same walled garden rant we've all heard and even made a variant ourselves

is this the type of content we have devolved into on here? I'd take endless ai slop over endless random cringe political posturing any day

> europe

> we don't engage in mass surveillance

you're incredibly naive

efficiency per token has tanked but it's still faster. given this is the first generation for Cerberas hardware this is the worst it's ever going to be.

when it reaches the main 5.3 codex efficiency at this token rate this kind of articles will seem silly in retrospect

> they are trying to quickly create alternatives to anything American

They're the same bright minds that ensured no alternatives could naturally come out of the European market trough relentless bureaucratic central planning. I have zero hopes of a good outcome

this is amazingly cool, great work!

The industrial revolution also created clean drinking-water systems, sewerage and wastewater treatment, basic sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, mass-produced vaccination, antibiotics, antisepsis and sterilization, anesthesia, obstetric and neonatal care technology, refrigeration and cold-chain logistics, food safety and industrial food processing, pasteurization, canning, mechanized agriculture, synthetic fertilizers, modern crop breeding and seed systems, electrification and power grids, hospital infrastructure engineering and medical imaging.

To name a few.

To the human race. The only reason we're not living miserable animal lives is because of technological progress. Wanting to slow that down means you are anti human.

in this case the best compliance is non compliance

degrowth decels are a scourge

one more step towards let's age-restrict (KYC) everything that is not government approved propaganda

make no mistake, this is about deanonymization and has nothing to do with "think of the children"

> It also returned 8 "sources"

well, there's your problem. it behaves like a search summary tool and not like a problem solver if you enable google search

Yes, it is easy. LLMs have reduced my maintenance work on scraping tasks I manage (lots of specialized high-traffic adfield sites) by 99%

What used to be a constant almost daily chore with them breaking all the time at random intervals is now a self-healing system that rarely ever fails.

so your definition of "understand" is "able to develop the QC test (or explain tests already developed)"

I hate to break it to you, but the LLMs can already do all 3 tasks you outlined

It can be argued for all 3 actors in this example (the QC operator, the PhD chemist and the LLM) that they don't really "understand" anything and are iterating on pre-learned patterns in order to complete the tasks.

Even the ground-breaking chemist researcher developing a new test can be reduced to iterating on the memorized fundamentals of chemistry using a lot of compute (of the meat kind).

The mythical Understanding is just a form of "no true Scotsman"

Why stop there? Go all in: they should not run their open source totalitarian digital control nightmare codebase on closed source hardware, because that's the real issue!

hey, I got a bridge to sell you, was $20k but we can lower it to $15k if you pay in BTC

when you shoot yourself in the foot before the race all competition is "unfair"

> they do everything they can to avoid paying taxes

as any rational entity should

They are not trying to solve it. They are pretending to solve it by masking the underlying issue and making things worse in the proccess.

prediction is the result of reasoning
