    Such statements are made by management folks who dont code, and somehow think coding can be hand-waved away. Sure, this tool will improve the productivity of sw engineers, but so d…

    lol, they gamed AIME by over-training the hell out of it for marketing purposes and called it done. meanwhile, back-to-basics is broken.

    agree 100% with this take. they are purpose building hardware for their specific application. debugging corner cases and making this robust is going to take them a decade. given th…

    agree that anyone making broad generalities like "algos dont matter" is always mistaken. but API design is more about the system, and how it is carved out into components, and what…

    you misunderstand how software systems are built. These days, they are "assembled" out of building blocks which have clean interfaces. similar to how houses are built from prefabri…

    Claims of inventing new materials via AI were debunked... https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/deepmind-ai-study-c... DeepMind is overselling their AI hand when they dont have …

    LLM have unleashed the dreamer in each and every young coder. Now, there is all sorts of speculation on what these machines can or cannot do. This is a natural process of any mania…
