    The idea that agi would help us cure all the human deceases, esp house built into our generics or developed over millions of years gotta be the top indicator of our own stupidity.

    What? psychologists are for that (or drugs and alcohol).

    What’s with fascination with agi/superintelligence? It seems people working on it never had kids and just want to compensate for that. It’s a really horrible thing to try to “solve…

    Treasuries are $ denominated -> sell them for $$, buy yen back, yen/usd drops. or have Uncle Sam buy yen.

    Try doing a refactoring of some sort or larger new feature using just an agent on a moderately sized codebase, 256k will be compacting every few minutes, and result will be unusabl…

    My cat is more conscious than whatever latest frontier model is out there, and it runs on a little bit kibble and water.

    Barrels of tokens sold by thieves that copied every book sure looks like selling to me.

    Someone going to public library, copying every book out of it and then selling them as their own are thieves.

    there are plenty of orgs where writing more code is not a good thing, in fact it's the last thing they want. but yet these orgs would still employ 80%+ of all developers, not neces…

    unless they launched 10t param models, or figured out some amazing new way to compress as many params into say 100b, I doubt it's anywhere near "mythos level". and I have no idea h…

    it’s not been useful anywhere else - no self driving cars, no laundry helpers - just some idiotic animatronic carcasses that are barely able to walk around, and semi autonomous kil…

    Qwen models are actually very competitive with frontier models, and you can run them on your local computer. Gotta have a decent graphics card and by that time the current cost of …

    Well, it was great while it lasted - I had fable build me a bunch of stuff this week that opus was just screwing up too much and could never finish. Good thing there are plenty of …

    Pro/max subs are not as flexible as bedrock in api use and don’t seem to run the same models either - often times they are notably dumber (quantized I guess) than bedrock equivalen…

    I’ll ask it to write me some win32 ui crap when I get hands on it, it will need all its brainpower to get that idiocy right.

    Opus regularly bitches and wines to me how long something will take and that I should think before asking it to do it. But then it does it anyway in 15 minutes.

    considering they work with any architecture/configuration given enough compute, just more or less efficiently - then maybe it's fundamental, in the same sense as why electricity wo…

    I like gpt oss - great model even if not too smart.. runs on my laptop at over 100ts has a certain tone that I like over all these qwens stuck up their asses.

    27b is slow as molasses vs 35b on local stuff I have (m5 max). Mtp doesn’t make any difference either.

    Mist of human written codebases are unusable for llm dev by that definition.

    You can only run heavily quantized models on all 3/4/5 rtx gpus (with 32gb or less vram) - and you probably want moe versions like Qwen 35b for this to run at speed somewhat compar…
