I guess that brings up the question of why do people use Codeberg in the first place. From what I understand, it's a decision based on values right rather than cost, functionality, or convenience. Well here you go, more values, enjoy!

Calling it model bias is as disingenuous as calling newspaper ads media bias.

After spending way too much time with Fable a few days ago, I noticed a new hallmark of AI generated text is using the word "honest" everywhere, in a somewhat self congratulating way.

Some things that give it away to me:

- "Honest numbers (WSL2, 12 cores, 25 GB RAM, NVMe via VHDX)"

- "an honest peak projection (working set, KV, MTP row, reconstruction buffers) so the kernel OOM-killer never fires."

- "Honest caveat from the same measurement: ..."

It's the new "It's not X, it's Y". I have no issue with this, I just found it amusing.

Cool project btw!

Auditing the generated code would defeat the purpose of reckless insubordination.

I'm building an AI, that uses AI to operate AI.

Without it you likely would have been in the same quagmire, but just slower?

It could have taken you years to realize that "oh I'm just exploring stuff and have no output".

Set an ambitious goal that is achievable using Claude Code, and focus on delivering it. Even if it doesn't turn out to be a hit, the experience of releasing it and using AI to accelerate it, will be a talking point to your 10-year-older self.

Thanks, that clears it up. The democracy thing was referring to other comments in this post.

Can someone please ELI5? I've heard much about it but still, with all the drama, I still don't get it.

SKG is an initiative that will force game publishers to keep a game online, provided that people have paid for it, and the publisher is not bankrupt? Is that right? What does it have to do with democracy?

From your post it's not clear that you understand how AWS charges. CloudWatch metrics would only validate your case if these were pay-per-use services like Lambdas or something. But you use the word "infrastructure" which implies you have allocated resources and simply don't use them. That's a valid charge.

Again maybe you are aware, but it wasn't clear from your post.

I don’t get the analogy because novel is supposed to be interesting. Code isn’t supposed to be interesting, it’s supposed to work.

If you’re writing novel algorithms all day, then I get your point. But are you? Or have you ever delegated work? If you find the AI losing its train of thought all it takes is to try again with better high level instructions.

The problem with React is that it solved frontend.

So the options are to 1. Code React all day and be happy with it. 2. Come up with reasons why it's bad.

There are many talented and intellectually curious people in the field which lean towards 2.

Do you spend days of your own time guiding them in person, do they just figure things out on their own after a few quarters of working on small tickets

It is this rather than docs. I think you're absolutely right about our lack of documentation handicapping AI agents.

At work, I have the same difficulty using AI as you. When working on deep Jiras that require a lot of domain knowledge, bespoke testing tools, but maybe just a few lines of actual code changes across a vast codebase, I have not been able to use it effectively.

For personal projects on the other hand, it has expedited me what? 10x, 30x? It's not measurable. My output has been so much more than what would have been possible earlier, that there is no benchmark because these level of projects would not have been getting completed in the first place.

Back to using at work: I think it's a skill issue. Both on my end and yours. We haven't found a way to encode our domain knowledge into AI and transcend into orchestrators of that AI.

All I’ve ever wanted from life is a genuinely great SVG vector illustration of a pelican riding a bicycle.

Hey, I'm not the OG commentator, why do I have to explain myself! :)

The issue is that you're not acknowledging or replying to people's explanations for _why_ they see this as exponential growth. It's almost as if you skimmed through the meat of the comment and then just re-phrased your original idea.

When Fernando Alonso (best rookie btw) goes from 0-60 in 2.4 seconds in his Aston Martin, is it reasonable to assume he will near the speed of light in 20 seconds?

This comparison doesn't make sense because we know the limits of cars but we don't yet know the limits of LLMs. It's an open question. Whether or not an F1 engine can make it the speed of light in 20 seconds is not an open question.

The "pelicans on a bike" challenge is pretty wide spread now. Are we sure it's still not being trained on?

It's not that wild. I like building things. I like programming too, but less than building things.

To be fair, for my coding at work, AI is “only” like a 2x booster because stuff at work is a lot less greenfield.

It’s immeasurable. I use AI for powering through personal projects, which would not have gotten done without AI because I also have a job and a life. It allows me to focus on the product and requirements rather than the code. It’s hard to measure because the projects would simply not have gotten done without it.

1. Inside the Black Box

Introduction to quantitative finance and to learn what strategies are used by firms who are supposed to beat the market.

2. Advances in Financial Machine Learning

Deep dive into ML techniques if you want to start making money from data and math.

Can you talk a bit more about the incentives to trade latency sensitive strategies on IEX in the first place? Is it still lucrative for its liquidity despite them artificially slowing down orders? Does a meta game evolve with HFTs all working around their system, essentially making it still a HFT playground but with extra steps? Do you think their unexpected latency increase for you guys was intentional, to free the water from sharks?

Oh no! Anyway ...

I think it's down though

I assume I'll get much less of everything if I switch to codeberg?

You’re telling me all I have to do to stop all the noob questions is to switch off of GitHub?

I agree that it's all money.

That's why it's always DNS right?

No one wants to pay for resilience/redundancy

These companies do take it seriously, on the software side, but when it comes to configurations, what are you going to do:

Either play it by ear, or literally double your cloud costs for a true, real prod-parallel to mitigate that risk. It looks like even the most critical and prestigious companies in the world are doing the former.

The issue is that GitHub is down, not that git is down.

Can you create a branch through GitHub UI?

Same here. I like the end result of having a gaming/ML PC with all the specs that I chose out but assembling PCs is not a hobby that I enjoy, and gaming seems to be partying ways with ML anyways. The new world might well end up being DGX for ML, and Steam machine for games.

Rocket league is an example. The pros play on pcs but hook a controller into it
