Now the question I would raise is this: could another AI have taken the role of Terrence Tao and obtain the same results from chatGPt?

I do not think so.

Don't get me wrong, the guy is cool and everything... but anyone working with as little protection as he does in our chemistry lab would be fired on-the-spot.

I agree, but would add that maintability is , and always has been , a hallmark of quality software.

LLM spaghetti code is unacceptable.

LLM code with a complex pile of overlayed abstractions only someone with a PhD in Software Engineering can debug or even get to compile years later when public APIs change is also unacceptable.

Same thing with human engineered software abstractions.

But I get you. Human directed AI is the only way to go ... for now ...

I understand what he means.

Software can be about the beauty in an algorithm, the elegance of an implementation. This is very similar to the type of beauty and elegance one finds in Mathematics.

For many, writing software is more about crafting a beautiful design than typing lines of code.

Getting things done is not about crafting, though (although crafting IS about getting something done).

Thus the big clash when suddenly you can get things done well enough, without the craft part, with LLMs. Even if beauty and elegance are in there, most would not see it, because most do not want to review "LLM slop". They get things done.

I read your link, written by Bun's author and totally get his thinking.

In the current world of cyber weaknesses everywhere, infrastructure must be solid and rust is a better choice than zig for something like bun.

In other words, bun is not a demo of zig programming that happens to do useful things. Bun does useful things, and must do them securely. That is its number one priority, language is secondary, inasmuch as it helps doing useful things securely.

It's Anthropic. I am pretty sure they spent time dogfooding it to Mythos or an even more advanced model.

That might even be the reason why they switched to rust.

Don't worry too much.

Next step:

Fully customized sex worker service at your doorstep ... faked for the dopamine, of course.

What about "Savoury apple" ?

I understand what happened to you could happen to anyone else with Claude or Gemini ... but ... Grok? That is the least trusted AI i would think of.

Friends do not let friends use Grok...

The more interesting question is whether he would have got the myocarditis if he had not taken the vaccine.

I think he would have. And might have died of COVID on top of it.

The science is interesting but I must admit I learned a new word today.

A deceased person is also a decedent. Adjective vs noun. Cool.

Well... your high-end is not my high-end.

Truly high-end luxury watches are priced in many multiples of 100,000 $ and are all mechanical.

I will never be able to afford any of them.

For example, this (pre-owned, good condition):

But it will result in a fat bonus for Asha Sharma.

The only thing that truly counts, for her.

Yes... why!!

Let's go back... ah, I see mile-high glaciers over London.

Global warming did occur in the past as well.

Yes, but still terrible, pollution wise.

Electric Vespa anyone?

I would guess you are in Sales ...

A long time ago I worked in the video codec area and was shown then that the most difficult videos to compress (i.e. with the most compressed bytes resulting in the file) were cartoons, because of the sharp edges, etc.

Not sure if it is still the case today with the latest generations of ultra-advanced codecs.

Maybe... but the re-hiring probably involved very substantial salary raises for the re-hirees.

An expensive process.

No problem with big SUVs ...

Just cap their top speed at 40 mph, use thin A pillars to better protect pedestrians and make them ugly as hell.

But make damn sure they comfortably transport the family to the soccer game, yes...

After what just happened to Anthropic, no way in hell will I ever use, support or give money to Kushner's OpenAI.

Well... if you just take 2 minutes to read the article, you will see that a mother killed her own son in the driveway.

That alone should be enough to get SUVs off the road, in my book.

"Canada doesn't have the free speech laws like we do in the US..."

Yep. And that is a very good thing. Hate speech is illegal here.

Forget about EVs.

Most regular SUVs should be taken off the road.

Look at this example: a dozen kids aligned in a neat row in front of the SUV and the soccer mom drivers can see none of them!

Having fun building something in software I always pushed for "when I will find the time".

Being proud of the result.

THAT is a real game changer LLMs allowed me, both in my professional and my casual life.

For example this:

or this:

Very cool! Love it...

But...

The battery is likely to be squeezed quite a bit after this is put in my wallet, and in my pocket.

Lithium batteries do not like to be squeezed. They tend to signal their distress with some type of heat, usually accompanied with a small fire and probable smoke as well.

A distressed battery is very insistent upon everyone to see it's state of mind...

I am in the french-speaking part of Canada.

In some Netflix shows, they say words in the english audio that are translated in French with different words with a similar meaning, and with english close-caption words that are also different from the original english audio.

Quite amazing.

Ban clothing altogether.

Nudist flights for the easily terrorized.

So many ... words... big words ...

Can't compute.

Help.

200$ per month per seat is nothing .

A single 3D CAD license pack for the guys in our R&D group costs multiple thousands of dollars per seat, per month.

It's about time software seats get some love too.

So many details, so many cool videos, so many interesting descriptions ...

Oh. No price?
