diminish

Can you pls link to them?

one feels the llm wow moment whenever what they do on an area has been surpassed by an llm. newer versions of llms are probably trained by the feedback from developer code agent sessions; so this is probably why pro developers started to feel "wow" recently.

the real challenge will be in the frontier of the human knowledge and whether llms will be able to advance things forward or not.

ps1; i'm using 5.3/o4.6/k2.5/m2.5/glm5 and others daily for development - so my work has 1.5x intensified - i tackle increasingly harder problems but llms still really fail big in brand new challenges like i fail too. so i'm more alert than ever.

ps2: syntactical autocomplete used to write 80% of my code; now llms replaced autocomplete but at a semanticlevel; i think and LLM implements most of my actions like a cerebellum for muscle coordination; but sometimes teaching me new info from the net.

Mini swe agent, as an academic tool, can be easily tested aimed to show the power of a simple idea against any LLM. You can go and test it with different LLMs. Tool calls didn't work fine with smaller LLM sizes usually. I don't see many viable alternatives less than 7GB, beyond Qwen3 4B for tool calling.

right tools allow small models to perform better than undirected tool like bash to do everything.

Interesting enough the newer mini swe agent was refutation of this hypothesis for very large LLMs from the original swe agent paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15793) assuming that specialized tools work better.

Multi-core operations like compiling C/C++ could benefit.

Single thread performance of 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is only 1.8x of my poor and old laptop's 4-core i5 performance. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/6211vs3830vs3947/AMD-Ry...

I'm waiting for >1024 core ARM desktops, with >1TB of unified gpu memory to be able to run some large LLMs with

Ping me when some builds this :)

sad to see lack of tools.

Lack of tools in mini-swe-agent is a feature. You can run it with any LLM no matter how big or small.

Firefox's problem is Mozilla; too much ad money made them evil. copying every chrome feature to boost search ads by breaking usability :(

We need a new browser fork! Linux way of governance could be awesome; a star leader/programmer- with community and enterprise contributors.

/just switched to librewolf for the short term; after years on firefox since early 0.x days

One can build a better container orchestration than kubernetes; things don't need to be that complex.

We need >2000 km ranges in one charge of electric vehicles for widespread adoption.

Does ctransformer (https://github.com/marella/ctransformers#supported-models) support running refact?

I see that model type "gpt_refact" in https://huggingface.co/smallcloudai/Refact-1_6B-fim/blob/mai...

Controversially, agricultural societies late to industrialization, have more population now and are replacing early industrial societies due to lower birth rates in industrial workers.

So I doubt humans with AI will replace humans without.

Well said. Openai is a promise unkept. Thanks StabilityAI for existing.

Twitter similarly is full of ads/phishing attacks disguising as some other brands, banks etc.

I've reported dozens, yet they never finish coming at me.

cutting free plans signals the fading growth moment for an old star(tup).

Exactly, that was my argument that if eyeballs exist, it will be monetized using ads.

Apple is planning to expand its advertising business significantly by placing more ads directly on users' devices directly, Bloomberg reports. The expansion would include bringing ads to more of Apple's own apps on iPhones and iPads, including Apple Maps.

I smile remembering "if you don't pay you're the product" which apple lovers lobbied looking at G users, hinting they payment for extra margins will save them from being ad targeted.

But now:

- Paying won't save you from ads.

- You're paying but you're still the product

- And ultimately Apple also gets huge sums from Google, for selling their users.

Old iDevices who are stuck in a non-upgradeable Apple OS are a threat to humanity.

We should deprecate telling fairy tales to children, as most are lies anyway.

Doing a programming on a smartphone is still a challenge. I wonder if machine learning can help developers doing some of their work while mobile.

Eloff, I'm a `Pgpool-II` & `PgBouncer` user for a long time.

Riverdb's https://github.com/riverdb/riverdb/blob/master/README.md seems to appear a bit counter-growth.

- A proprietary, alpha software is could be anti-growth in the PG world.

I think your README.md can be made more welcoming with

- a getting started - tutorial/configuration - install steps - a video link why this is cool.

7 digits and still wanted to work i would think thats a major life failure

Hey I love coding, tech, AI and I'm passionate about it. So Creating a software others use, make me so happy. Having a small team of people, who can grow with me is the other aspect which excites me.

Eloff I'm not as special and indeed you are. What I mean is, you can pause your being the founder idea for 3 years and jump on someone who found high growth. One way for you could be to join some database, postgres startups. Join their open source projects and get ideas from the team.

That's how I chose the best startup.

Went through all worldwide & Ycombinator startups which are high growth. Registered at Workatastartup. Used https://kennytilton.github.io/whoishiring/ to see what they are searching for.

Chose 10 companies with positions where I have very strong hard skills. Interacted with the particular company's product. Wrote a nice paragraph on ideas how I can contribute.

- https://www.ycombinator.com/companies

- https://www.workatastartup.com

Hey Eloff, after 4 failed startups from 2012-2018 - I've joined another late-stage high growth startup. Thanks to stock options I ended up having 7 digit wealth in 2 years

Now I will go back to startuping.....

And Russian wagner mercenaries and Russian troops in 1990 killing AZ who wanted independence from Soviets together with Baltics.

A bit of counter-historical facts.

1. Russia wants to eliminate Ukraine, and Armenia is the sole explicit supporter

2. Russia did the same in 1915, arming Armenian Dashnaks to kill 500K to 1million of their neighbors; Turkish or Kurdish civilians unprotected due to Ottoman war against Russia.

3. Russia in 1990 punished Azerbaidjan protests in Baku and used Armenia as a puppet which occupied not only Karabagh but an additional 20% of Azerbaijan land and killed and displayed 100K to 1million people.

4. Ataturk's presence and war against occupants from Italy, England, Greece, France starts in 1919 long after the world war 1. So your interpretation is wrong.

Finally yes I'm sad for the deaths, like everyone in Turkey. But we're sick of people who omit 5 million Turkish deaths in Balkans and Caucasus.

5. My several best mates in Turkey are Armenians. I love their everyhing. But I think Armenian nationalist heritage of Russia supported aggresiveness hurts all neighbors including Georgia too.

Armenia's sole friends are Russia and Iran - and that is not a coincidence.

As an observation, especially in the 3rd world, and "3rd tier business" I think Windows is the dominant operating system.

nope, if u r paying u have to agree to the terms of use which usually includes tracking and other things which sell your data.

most paid products actually add tracking as a condition to their terms of use.

I second this. I like "silent" new tech, which doesn't need to introduce dozens of new "concepts".

- containers focus on what you can do, easy to understand and you can start in 5 minutes

- kubernetes is the opposite, where verbose tutorials lose time explaining me how it works, rather than what i do with it.
