"Reproduce an existing piece of software" doesn't seem like a problem that generalizes well to "develop a new piece of software," for a fair number of reasons.

Huh? You seem to think the author, or maybe I, have some strong stance in favor of the status quo on conservationism, which is not the case. The article is just about trying to und…

A whole lot of people in the comments who clearly didn't read the article, given the great lengths the author went to to distinguish NIMBYism (which most of the comments are about)…

I don't think the GP had anything to do with the language change itself. More that it marks a clear point of Anthropic taking ownership and governance of the project in a less open…

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BOGZ1FL594090005Q Pension funds hold $30 trillion, my guy. Even restricting to only defined -benefit funds it's 7T.

As I and several other people pointed out last time this was posted, "A is B," in natural language, does not imply "B is A." "Is" can denote any of many different shades of relatio…

This has very quickly become an uninteresting, and often even unconvincing critique. Especially on this site where it is levelled at essentially every blog post submitted. Maybe tr…

> As has been mentioned the goal was a port so they "could" eventually rewrite most of it to be idiomatic rust. They may have said that, but quite clearly the value they actually g…

When we're talking lab revenue, we're taking what companies are spending on AI. The question is not whether companies are investing in AI, it's whether they're getting anything in …

For everyone but the individual account holders (who have ~no voice in this market) the opacity of the trusts is a selling point, isn't it?

I'm not sure what's different about my setup (just a Vaultwarden deployment hosted behind Tailscale, connected using the official Chrome extension and Android app), but I've never …

Buddy... The whole point of the post is that he wants his students to question whether "succeeding in this market" is really the right choice.

The set of tasks for which "correctness" is formally verifiable (in a way that doesn't put Goodharts Law in hyperdrive) is vanishingly small.

The problem with these attempts always seems to be that you can see in dimensions 1-3, but never in dimension 4, so any movement or exploration along that axis is always just blind…

He was sarcastically paraphrasing earlier deflections from the administration

"Supply chain risk" is a specific designation that forbids companies that work with the DOD from working with that company. It would not be applied in your scenario.

Something I've certainly witnessed on this site in particular more than once

Maybe read that quote again. The figure is 1000 per day

It would be easier to judge this if the jokes weren't 90% about AI and silicon valley, understandable only to people who subscribe to astralcodexten

If choosing the "wrong" model, or not wording your prompt in just the right way, is sufficient to not just degrade your output but make it actively misleading and worse than useles…

I see a lot of the same (well thought out) pushback on here whenever these kinds of blind hype articles pop up. But my biggest objection to this "engineering is over" take is one t…

Well, let's start by confronting and acknowledging the very strong case that we -- "we" here being the tech world in general, and the audience of this site -- bear a heavy burden o…

People were absolutely giving attitude towards people in Teslas in general, and Cybertrucks in particular, around the peak of all the DOGE nonsense. Still are, for Cybertrucks

And NYC. Just saw one this morning

> that the author offers no charitable reasons for why the experiment took place. Right, and neither did the GP. They both offered the exact same two reasons, the GP just apparentl…
