    Ohhh that's a very interesting hypothesis. I think you might be right.

    > it would be an enormous waste of resources Sounds a lot like "640Kb ought to be enough for anybody"

    No no, don't just say "vibe coded", say "Fable and $500 of credits"

    I'm also a foreigner in Berlin, and my guess is twofold: 1. Their German isn't good enough, which limits the pool of people you can connect to 2. They only or mostly hang out in th…

    He's shouting his politics through a megaphone, it doesn't take much to recognize it for what it is.

    Maybe it's because he's a fascist?

    Yeah I completely agree. But this is much larger model than the 8B one they put on a chip, so that's probably an engineering challenge for now. Also, how expensive would it be?

    Which alternative measures do you propose to counter the society destabilising effects I've described in the original comment? Because I believe there are none.

    This is a very libertarian and ultimately low-trust forum where most people seem to think the government is out to get you, but I have to say: what's so great about having complete…

    Try doing it at scale for a whole office. Not trivial.

    I am convinced that the combination of capable open weight models and specialized hardware will mean that Apple (and other hardware providers) will start shipping computers with bu…

    Whatever topic comes up on this board, if the EU is mentioned people go a bit cray-cray. If an individual country trains a language model, it's not ambitious enough. If we try to d…

    I would say that recall is the most important metric here though. I'd want it to catch all the issues. False positives are easy to ignore.

    Why is Haiku the benchmark though, with code generation don't we primarily care about the quality of the code - not the speed or efficiency at which it's generated?
