Top 2 comments fail to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
It's not about the tech. We have a corrupt administration gatekeeping two powerful models for companies set to go public soon.
I bet the models are powerful.
I also bet there is a lot of money being exchanged, too, for keeping the bubble big, so certain people will profit.
Trump doesn't care about the people. He cares about himself.
How we learn has gotta change...
Imperfect example, but nuclear. We regulate that. Sure the US and other nuclear powers build it, and we have side effects of mutually assured destruction to keep us at bay, and other countries off the table.
Maybe this shows that there are indeed simply more variable in the calculus of how we optimize towards things as a society.
And that indeed we can feel now that certain variables, antithetical to the continued success of many people, are at risk.
Capitol Reef is ridiculous. There's no fish.
I don't think they are, I think they're not talking about that... "It's all about the spec."
Fits with the origin story of Claude Code...
Setting the plot for Angels and Demons... :D

yet another roll your own ROS...
^ Big this. If we take a pessimistic attitude, we're done for.
I wonder if the new models consider land use change and emissions from aggressive datacenter development and model training...
++ When an EU outlet says, "Given the annual savings, this sum will pay for itself in less than a year. In the past, the state transferred millions to the US company Microsoft, primarily for the use of office software and other programs."
You know they want sovereignty.
WRT the criticism on this move by "the opposition" saying, ""It may be that on paper 80 percent of workplaces have been converted. But far fewer than 80 percent of employees can now work with them properly.""
I think this natural pressure will also be helpful for re-tooling IT infra and support companies to being more sovereign.
Too big to fail?
Finally, don't have to remember the UMRN for Camptown Races anymore.
“give people mental health breaks.”
try going outside
I wonder how these pieces of understanding can be applied to neuroscience.
Maybe I'll vibecode that this weekend...
Reminds me of when I was working on NVIDIA Jetson systems, and learning how to use them, that you can run 1 command to make everything go faster... (https://jetsonhacks.com/2019/04/10/jetson-nano-use-more-powe...)
Loved this too hahaha..
Yeah real talk. It can really play to folks bias towards laziness and the fact that it's being controlled by corporations / (the few) / (the ultra-wealthy) should give us pause to consider the level of control it does and will influence over the majority of people...
I think that there's something to be said about brain cycles being freed up for different things. We were relieved of some manual tasks during the industrial revolution. Now what else are our brains free to do?
That's not to say that this notion I raise should not be also considered with others. We are indeed offloading some brain processing to a machine... what have we lost?
What will we gain?
We're choosing to offload processing that our brain could be doing but we're too lazy to do it or the perceived value for us to do it is. I think there are consequences to this especially as we give the machine free information of how we twist and turn it into actually understanding what we mean.
Interesting to consider that if our first vibecode prompt isn't what we actually want; it can train on how we direct it further.
Offloading human intelligence is useful but... we're losing something.
bless this mess
Yes, C++ may even be too far. Writing C in a very regimented way to run on very old processors by today's standards is 'aerospace grade (tm)'.
Looks convenient, but another step towards a monoculture internet. :(
this is such a wholesome nerd post. i love it.
You need theory before you get implementation.
:eyes:
Perhaps this will assist in catalyzing the transition for SF's economy becoming actually sustainable.
Why wouldn't you just keep a local version? Do you have a "top git project" for checking out others? Seems like it could be convenient, I suppose.
