I've had zero problems with Youtube on FF for I don't remember how many years. I'm on Mac though.

At least it’s AT&T, not Huawei :)

In reality it got me 30% there.

You could have free education, for instance. I think that would be preferable to any sort of student loans.

I don’t get it. How much do AC units cost in EU? I can buy one for, like, $200-300.

Why not?

Surely git’s source is already in LLM’s training corpus. So this is far from clean room approach.

You wouldn’t get one if you followed the law and released the server.

I find that most “techniques” are basically user hallucinations. Simple plan-write-refactor loops and trivial CLAUDE/AGENTS.md, generated by the harness itself, work nicely. Maaaaaaaaaybe write a skill or two, but usually it’s better to just write a script.

I can’t compare raw intelligence of these models, and I certainly can’t say anything about their advances in mathematics (without repeating press releases). But, erm, does it really matter? It’s not like some engineer somewhere will vibe-calculate how much weight a bridge can hold.

Well, yes, someone probably will do that. But I’m pretty sure there will be consequences for the engineer errors in this vibe-calculations.

I’ve used DeepSeek 4 Pro through Claude. It’s fine. Plans are similar to what sonnet/opus make. Same massage-the-plan -> massage-the-code loop. Maybe the code is a bit worse, but that’s the “months behind” thing.

The thing is, vast majority of code tasks aren’t a venture into the unknown. We as an industry for the most part build CRUD interfaces and dashboards. That can be achieved, with supervision, with frontier open-weights models quite well.

The economy, not the workers :) It feels like pretty soon white collar workers will be in a “You have nothing to lose but your chains” situation. Except we are not as fit as the proletariat of the past.

Look, it is calming to think that Trump is somehow a Russian agent, and not a sign of collapsing political class, but let’s be realistic here.

If it is indeed true, then Russia managed to put its puppet as The President of the United States of America. Twice. Without triggering any red flags from a dozen or so of US TLAs. That would be the best intelligence operation in the history of everything. At that point, USA should just put the chairs away and turn down the lights.

Epstein files yes, I grant you that.

IP is what, four layers of protocols lower than OAUTH?

Doesn't USA do that all the time with .com and such?

Didn’t Juicero get more than a $100M? Do you think they had a clear plan? How much did Rome get? Did they have a clear plan?

First, they released it only 10 years ago, and second, Microsoft marketed it as the last windows version. So yes, this is a own goal)

Are… Are you pulling out the “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” trick?

If only there was a high-ranking official at Microsoft, who could prioritize security[1]! /s

I'm pretty sure Google can buy a femtocell to simulate local mobile network of their own.

Initial commit: Jun 24, 2025. Already has a migration path from 0.x to 1.x.

Why am I feeling so old now?

On a more serious note, do any models support this?

Given that it’s going to be a part of “Microsoft CoreAI organization”, whatever that is, there will be even more AI stuff.

Ah yes, because only Russians can be criminals. And also Russians cannot be born in Eastern Europe.

Usual arguments for "upgrading" are:

* We can't hire specialists for older frameworks.

* We can't generate positive hipe over older technologies.

* New technologies are better, so we will deliver features faster.

In reality, it's almost always resume-driven development.

I’d just wait a bit. At current rate of progress winner will be apparent sooner rather than later.

My coworker uses thunderbird since time immemorial, and I don’t think it ever corrupted his mailbox.

Microsoft doesn't compete with Google.

When you need to calculate a square root of 12.345 during a physics exam, professor doesn't care that you use a calculator, because the exam doesn't test your calculating ability. But it does test your knowledge of physics. What is the point of allowing LLM use during such a test?

Can you provide any details?

So current employees want a leader that basically only thinks about said leader's salary, I guess? That is a shared value among many, can't argue with that.
