If you owe AWS 437k bucks, that’s a big problem for you

If you owe AWS 437B bucks, that’s a big problem for AWS

Honestly sounds to me like you have a bone to pick with AI in general. Negative sentiment on a particular LLM authored blog post muddies the waters and misrepresents your valid points. Not the way to do this IMO. Happy to be corrected.

I hear you, and agree with your points, but do have to ask - what’s the point in complaining? See LLM slop as you called it, ignore it and move on. There’s plenty of more intimately authored content out there.

I don’t have access to my flavor of LLM on the train nor the time or budget to have it do the research and summary for me

Why are we all of a sudden pretending like pre-LLM era blogs were these pristinely well written pieces of art or even that effort and care was put into them? In most cases they were significantly less coherent and incomplete. Don’t get me started on the mess that was the communication of this particular company or one of their competitors like AWS.

Can you elaborate? I read it, found the concepts well explained, walked away better informed.

Responding to alleged slop with more slop doesn’t decrease the total amount of slop on the internet.

Should they disclose the use of a spellchecker? A translation app? Gramarly? A writing tutor?

Why should they disclose how much AI was used to write an article?

Just reply “I gave this to Claude and it didn’t understand what you meant - can you rephrase?”

Bebop is clearly being paid off by Big Chicken to skew the results

Good programmers know symlinks are not portable

What’s so special about Java/JVM solutions? What is for example the Go ecosystem missing in comparison?

Which LLMs?

Switching between LLMs takes all of 30 seconds - there will be no hesitation to adopt whichever LLM is performing the best.

I swear a lot in my chats with Claude..

You would be very, very surprised

Hot damn - is that the floor of what you consider useful?

ML

Data tooling

Talent pool

Libraries for customers

Brownfield codebases

Academics

I can keep going…

People no can Rust so people no use Rust. Simple as.

Are you describing finetuning?

What about the projects that python handles better?

We should all go back to writing assembly

Or maybe you don’t understand what it means because you’re not the target audience?

Not really. This is all so new, noone is using it correctly, because noone knows how to yet. We’re all just kind of flailing our arms around with it, but it’s clearly a force multiplier and its increased use is an actionable signal

Noone knows what the correct structure for this new world looks like. We’ll see what they end up hiring for. But it’s fairly standard to lay off a bunch of people and hire new, rather than retrain, when you need to restructure

Which part of that sentence was confusing? I found it perfectly clear. Their internal AI use is exploding, which is a signal that they need to structure for that, and so they’re laying people off as one of the first steps towards actioning that signal.

Nowhere did they indicate there is less work to do, in fact quite the opposite.

Zirp ended over 4 years ago, what are you talking about, the us economy is collapsing? What? Care to elaborate on any of this?

Because it’s allegedly more expensive

It is not possible to make a piece of software completely secure because software sits atop hardware and hardware introduces its own security vulnerabilities that leak into software without possible recourse.

Why exactly would the H100s get retired for Blackwells if specifically power and DC permits were the bottleneck?

Not millions of dollars per sat. Are you being intentionally obtuse?
