Knowing them they'll have all this stuff online just as the AI bubble pops. Basically the same thing they did when they belatedly tried to get into mobile chips
You are welcome to opine on anything but there’s a reason we’re reading his blog and you’re down here in the comments
> Under a partnership, the Simons Foundation, Anthropic and OpenAI will commit $15 million in combined funding and resources. The foundation will manage and award funding, including through an open call for proposals, to support workshops and initiatives that help researchers evaluate recent AI-assisted results, learn and use new tools, share perspectives and shape collective standards for AI use.
I think I’ll take the professional mathematician perception of how AI affects his field over random HN commenter saying it’s “pants on head stupid”
IMO most modern engineering practices are cargo culture. I’m sure in 10 years we look back on today the same way we’d look back on the days before version control was common. We are in the emailing files around stage of development
incredible reach
> India and China share a disputed 3,440km (2,100-mile) boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This de facto border runs through remote and inaccessible natural paths along the Himalayas, passing through rivers, remote mountains and forest cover. It is ill-defined and its demarcations have remained a source of contention between two neighbours who fought a major war in 1962, in which India suffered a humiliating defeat.
It’s not riskless, it’s just the benchmark that all active investors and their associated podcasters have to beat.
Active investors usually fall into the same fallacy where people all rate themselves as above average. Mathematically speaking a large portion of active investors have to do worse than average and simply stating FUD about averages won’t change that
ah yes, instead of giving students homework, have them serve in the military for a few years until they’re ready for college
I think the fact that you vibe code your home explains that we have fundamentally different worldviews and aren't gonna agree on anything here
So at the end of the day you still need an app… and maybe instead of spending tokens every time you want an app you just use a prebuilt one… :surprised-pikachu:
Maybe OP can explain why with unlimited tokens neither OAI nor Anthropic have any first party apps other than the main Claude/chatgpt apps
There are only so many rust migrations you can do, at some point you gotta ship something user visible which means you have to deal with people which means the code was never the bottleneck even in 2014

Dude, this is AI psychosis. Just ask the LLM to write you a program (“compile”) and then you can run it locally forever
They’re not fundamentally different at all. In fact the paper is using existing models as a backbone and just providing a shortcut between the two ends of the pipeline
Maybe AI can help you read the article first
I will never understand what compels people to post forum comments with Claude
The vibe coded crap fills the same niche as the consonant slop brands on Amazon
I’m confused, so now that he
is considered influential in the fields he lacked credentials for how is that in any way a negative
Unless you think those fields were scientifically rigorous until they decided to adopt his ideas?
Maybe you just disagree with the existence of “male gaze”
This comment is a joke about how Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) boasted that “coding is solved” and immediately received the expected mockery/screenshots of bugs in Claude Code. He replies to one of them “Coding is solved, bugs are not yet solved. Fix incoming”
> If AI conjures up a cocktail to cure cancer and we don't know how it works, but it passes a phase 3 trial, you can bet we will be on our knees thanking it, or more likely giving a standing ovation at our plenary session.
Ironic that his vaccine skepticism evaporates when there’s an opportunity to be contrarian. Or maybe he’s changed his mind now that the overwhelming evidence of the Covid vaccines proves he was full of shit
corollary: coding is solved, bugs are not solved
I think the effect is twofold - spend/pupil tends to benefit poorer students more (diminishing returns), so a good school in a poor neighborhood needs more $$ to achieve equivalent outcomes. And then the lower property tax revenue in the poorer neighborhood makes it harder to sustain that higher spend
Even "bad" schools use this strategy to move some of the "good" kids into special programs, etc. to raise their average scores. Which makes the remaining classes even worse. It's an eternal struggle between raising the floor vs raising the ceiling
It's also a feedback loop, once you're known for "good schools" then the homes become more expensive. If you don't care about moving then it's often cheaper to buy a home to send your kid to a good public school vs. sending them to private school.
The common perception is that OAI/Anthropic are pumping up their hype before they unload on retail in their IPOs
The only way they can get lock in is with the data. Right now it’s like a return to the early Web 2.0 days where everyone had an API. You hook the harness up to Slack, Gmail, GitHub, etc. so it can do work.
And like Web 2.0 I’m sure the day will come where the walled gardens return. All the old SaaS companies are starting to charge for agentic access. Proportionally more of the AI budget will go to them instead of the model providers, who are still stuck in this price war
It’s interesting that both companies have fully embraced agentic development with unlimited token budgets and yet still can’t expand beyond the original core products
All of those companies that naive HNers used to say they could code in a weekend literally can be coded in a weekend now, so why haven’t they?
If enterprise is the goal they’re really at the whims of the old school software companies because they own no data of their own. Imagine Google decides to push Gemini one day and now ChatGPT can’t write docs anymore.
Might as well be questions for believers in flat-earth
