I think that was the motivation to make Mojo a superset of python.

I'm curious to know the hype behind the hiring for Karpathy and Noam. In the sense that did oai and anthropic do that for sort of long term and potential new directions (investing in them so they come up with the new transformer). Because it definitely cannot be just a regular filling vacant roles.

Because I think as far as running the existing models and handling whatever nuances, it must be well understood by oai and ANT -- but you don't what you don't know.

I'm not sure whether Elon's interests are in the model. Maybe the existing distribution channel which is cursor's users? The whole ai business models seems tough to comprehend. Huge amounts being passed from one player to the other.

I find this to put my psql in a better place as a daily driver. Adding this to ~/.inputrc [1] will allow you to limit search on your entered text. Eg.

select (up arrow)

will loop through your psql history for commands that started with e.g., . The challenging part is in wide tables and or table with large data. Less is awkward usually so using pspg made it less awkward.

I tried also to with help of ai, to write a plugin for sublime that fits my flow. It worked well but I think I'm more used to psql.

[1]

~/.inputrc

$if psql "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward $endif

in my region (middle east) facebook marketplace is the defacto listing. I know craiglist (just from me being on internet for so long) but i don't think it operates here. And for sellers they also only know facebook.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry to ask this, but are there any discord links you can share?

The gemini/ai part aside, but I really like this revival of passion for PCs and Laptops. Totally anecdotal here and I could have definitely spend couple of minutes to research the marketing numbers, but I cannot help but feel happy with Framework, Panther Lake and Dell XPS and of course the mini Mac and Macbook family. I feel like there were years when center of attention had turned to mobile/ipads (and consoles) which were severly locked down to the point of no use point their intended creators purpose. I felt bad my siblings never get hooked into my old PC, as they went from PS3 to phones.

what is happening to crypto that is causing this? I was thinking with the recent conflicts crypto would thrive, if anything.

Is there any place I can read about KV? Excuse my ignorance as I'm not familiar with this topic and I read scattered notes that deepseek's cost are well optimized due to how their kv cache work. But I want to read more how kv cache relates to the inference stack and where does it actually sit.

AIUI, people are even experimenting with offloading the KV cache itself to storage, which may unlock this batching capability even beyond physical RAM limits as contexts grow.

Especially this point. Any reason that this idea was considered bad? Is it due to the speed difference between the GPU VRAM to the RAM?

I tried it on a non trivial, but also well documented and self contained task. It did amazingly well. I used deepseek v4 pro via deepseek platform. The model is very fast and also it is super cheap. I burned only 0.06 USD (I reckon how the same task would have cost me had I used e.g., amp).

PS. mentioning amp because i used to use it and I pay directly for token. I topped up 5 usd so I will be going to use it and see how far can it take me. But my impression so far is even when model subsidization is done, those open source models are quite viable alternatives.

people are just using the latest and most expensive models because they can,

While I agree with the sentiment, I think that might have been initially driven by older models being nerfed and/or newer ones were better at token/$. And there is this notion that those labs don't constraint the model on the first days after its release.

I (codex) made a plugin for stremio to stream my collection from real-debrid. I tried existing plug-ins first and non was working. Just prompted chatgpt to refine my initial specs, and asked on another session to build that. And later used codex for the last mile. Nothing fancy though and nothing can be particularly useful to others but damn it was too useful to me and my wife.

Things had went downhill since they removed ultrathink /s

Yeah I don't know what this new clickbait persona they added to 5.4

Which subscription do you have to use it? Via Google ai pro and gemini cli i always get timeouts due to model being under heavy usage. The chat interface is there and I do have 3.1 pro as well, but wondering if the chat is the only way of accessing it.

The only thing i don't like about gemini models (gemini cli) is that there's no transparency on which model I'm using. I can start with pro and it can be downgraded sometimes even to gemini 2.5 flash lite.

Sublime is quite good. I have always been using sublime for quick edits, dumping notes etc. But lately I came to appreciate it more as a lightweight IDE. I use go (lsp and some plugins) and ST (sqltools) in addition to package manager and project manager. I like how fast it is, how well polished the editor is. And generally all plug-ins i use work nicely. Also claude helped a lot (eg writing some shortcuts for specific scenarios that I tend to use a lot).

Not to say anything against Zed though. But sublime with one session of claude can help you build your very own customized ide.

I was doing this but I got worried I will lose touch with my critical thinking (or really just thinking for that matter). As it was too easy to just copy paste and delegate the thinking to The Oracle.

Obligatory the office line:

"I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word "AGI" and expect anything to happen.

- Michael Scott: I didn't say it. I declared it

That's a really well put. We are expecting a son soon and as I was reading this read and your comment, I couldn't help but asking myself will I ever say anything that my son will remember for years. And how can I be prepared.

Worth to mention is do reach to your friends and network telling them you were let go of / looking for a job. There's no shame in that, and in fact, it can help a lot.

Another small points: reduce your expenses. Basically plan for the worst in terms of budgeting. Widen your search space. There are other younger markets in global south you can also approach.

Theres this expression i couldn't exactly translate to English. It goes along the lines of loosen up your body (literal translation), but it's more about yielding to the flow and less about physically doing so.

I think copilot is very aggressive on tokens and context size. That is how I guess the economy works for them.

Claude has been constantly terrible for the last couple of weeks. You must have seen this, but just in case: https://x.com/claudeai/status/1965208247302029728

I think the riskiest migrations are the ones where migration is done in parallel. Internal org power struggles get leaked, whole teams are lobbying against the effort. And on top of all of that rediscovering many things all over again. That in response to cases where a company might decide that the fix too all legacy -> new system is by throwing more money at the problem.

Thanks for this. We are expecting one in two months (our first), and reading this made me happy.

I would adore to see obtaining a drivers license ratchet up in difficulty in order to remove dangerous human drivers from the road.

I'd like to challenge this part. I don't see the value of increasing the driving license tests. Reckless drivers can be reckless regardless of their initial driving license tests. You just need drivers with sense of responsibilities. they will get to know road norms as they go, which often is far more valuable than the driving license quizzes.

Context: I moved to a new place where acquiring a license can take more than a year. It turns into a game where driving license companies deliberately fail you just to get you to pay more.

I can see the author's point but im failing to link it to ai. The ai im using now is a good as a productivity booster for otherwise already well defined problem-- and decently good engineers.

I dont think the layoffs are due to that. It is affecting entry jobs rather badly, but that (anecdotely) constitutes minority.

Add to it the ability to cut through the bullshit and follow through tasks till completion. The amount of bullshit that ICs, QAs, and products can spin in rounds and add to that the new bureaucracy that comes with being a manager is just unreal.
