Already models have gotten really good at a lot of things. A lot of people would probably be happy to stick with the same model for a year or two if it’s 10x faster and cheaper. An…

Or they did try to game the benchmarks and just didn’t do it well enough. Benchmarks are one data point, not the only one, but the easiest one to compare.

That’s tough to say. So far, Apple has been very reluctant to invest in the massive infrastructure you need to run large AI models. But if they are successful in making on-device m…

Of course it’s a large and complex project in terms of code, but in terms of industrial impact it’s unlikely to ever amount to much. Linux just has too much momentum and there are …

That’s over half of their business, but they do have some diversification with YouTube, Play Store, and cloud services. Some of their newer efforts like Waymo and AI hosting for Ap…

Larger in what sense? He is stepping away from the day to day operation of the company. He won’t have any authority in the company other than leading and voting in board meetings.

Clearly his influence is going to be less though. And most likely this is a calculated step to avoid freaking people out, even though he is effectively leaving.

Sure, lots of languages have some level of parametric type support. This is just basic programming stuff and not limited to esoteric research languages. Yet so many in the Go commu…

Well here’s the thing on generics. Go always had generics since the very beginning. It’s just that only certain built-in types had them. Slices, maps, and channels all were generic…

Nope, I’m saying that the language that was seemingly designed with either an ignorance of or disdain for the hard-won lessons from decades of prior programming languages. There wa…

Ok, and what if you realize you want these things a million lines in? Do you still move off of Go? Generic programming isn’t some fancy research language feature like dependent typ…

It’s all just tokens to the model. Whether it’s thinking tokens or output tokens, they take the same amount of computation to produce. The only difference is whether the token is d…

Maybe in terms of code produced, but one token is only a fragment of a thought for an LLM. It’d be like thinking as slowly as Ents talk to each other in Lord of the Rings.

So your complaint is about LLM slop, but can’t point to anything that’s actually wrong about it other than that there are dashes? You can use an LLM to create work that isn’t slop.…

Personally, I often paste screenshots into Claude Code of the application it’s working on. And I’ve even had it work autonomously on something and regularly grab its own screenshot…

Maybe the deaths would have happened, or maybe these places would have become self sufficient or received aid elsewhere. There’s really no way to know. But we committed to providin…

I don’t know, does global cancer research shut down when you stop giving the $500? Do kids immediately stop receiving treatment? USAID literally ran ambulance systems that shut dow…

What rule about steelmanning? We’re commenting online, not writing peer reviewed research. And yeah, some people lose the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, but actions have consequences…

I also don’t think one mistake should define a company. But for me it’s just about trust. Musk has proven time after time that he doesn’t deserve my trust. I will never trust Grok …

Elon himself promoted Grok’s “spicy mode” that allowed generating NSFW content that the other AI vendors wouldn’t touch with a 20 foot pole. Believe whatever you want. Elon’s belie…

How much can you really certify that data is destroyed? Customer data could live on the computer Elon pretends to play Diablo 4 on for all we know.

Consider actually searching for GLM or other top Chinese models and see how many upvotes they have been getting. Your claim that Chinese models don’t get as much attention is easil…

So what billionaire are people rooting for when a new GLM comes out? How many people do you honestly think even know who owns or leads Z.ai? I certainly don’t.

There have been multiple posts on here with 800+ upvotes in just the last few weeks for GLM 5.2. The idea that all this enthusiasm is for certain Silicon Valley billionaires and no…
