agents benefit from the same abstractions as humans do and they also benefit from a version system where the history can be tracked back where merch conflicts become obvious and so on
while sargassum is a bane for beaches, corals, and tourist industries, it's a big boon for ocean life far off the coast.
In 2030, Sam may advocate that screws mostly go to robots and no longer to private tools/utilities.
Re:ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging on Sunday November 01, 2026 @07:21AM (#50324943)
recently, I wasn't able to configure my ads because I've run out of Codex tokens. I haven't opened the ChatGPT app ever since.

"I just can't seem to stay interested and read LLM text."

For foreign text, sure. But I never was never able to read New York Times articles about some invention that started with Lucy leaving her home at seven o'clock.

If you have a specific question, reading LLM text can be more interesting than anything in the world. Even Wikipedia.

So instead of the narrative of benchmaxing, in truth it's benchminimizing of competitors by the U.S. oligarchy?
there are rumors on Twitter that these upload system profiles to a S3 bucket.
Re:We should be more ambitious with the software we build on Sunday October 25, 2026 @05:57AM (#50229870)
I don't think AI can fix the process, ideology or people issues.

It can if a single developer replaces a whole team.

that would be one white page for me.

how do they distinguish 'attackers' from usual crawlers?

Re:CERN and Mistral join forces to accelerate AI for science on Monday October 19, 2026 @05:07PM (#50158089)
with a different title, they would have achieved much higher engagement. e.g. CERN and Mistral evaluate if large latent models can advance physics
Re:Codex is EATING my Mac's disk space on Sunday October 18, 2026 @05:05PM (#50145468)
change a byte ... change it back, get a duplicate.

What are realistic scenarios in which you change a byte back?

switching to copy on write worktrees is the biggest game changer it should become common knowledge pretty soon and it's already available on most operating systems

in theory it could avoid car crashes in practice the dudes that buy these cars will probably cause more crashes;)

Make it your problem to find problems that AI have not yet solved. Problem solved.

Re:Were Software Engineers blue-collar workers all along? on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @06:22AM (#50069453)
the most provocative comparison which I've heard a couple of times was "elevator operators".
It says much more than that. It says that all custom architectures and approaches are become irrelevant if compute increases, which was proven again by the large latent models recently solving RL tasks better than any classical RL technique.

Checking that the theorem is what we really want to prove is much much less work than going through the whole proof though.
the common distinction between robot and machine is that machines are mostly stationary and don't move by themselves. (Self-driving cars sit in between, depending on further developments, they might slide into the bot category.)
Re:AI Is Throwing a Roadside Picnic on Sunday October 11, 2026 @01:36AM (#50040103)
they definitely do get answers. maybe the path is incomprehensible to you, but the yes or no answer is definitely there: that's what the formal provers are there for. In the worst case you have an Oracle which just answers your question with yes or no but in truth you get many more details if you want to look
Re:AI Is Throwing a Roadside Picnic on Sunday October 11, 2026 @01:32AM (#50040091)
just because humans don't understand it yet doesn't mean that the machine doesn't understand it and can build upon it
