    https://www.pangram.com/history/c837bbcb-4aed-43e1-987c-afe2... I know you're being downvoted, because people are tired of hearing "this is AI". But I think your comment "this is A…

    I'm sure you're where you are in some part due to hard work, skill, decisions. But surely you don't believe that it's purely down to skill where one lives/works at?

    Don't disagree that that's the system not working well. You're lucky to be in a system that works out for you. Not everyone is in such a lucky position. LLMs help automate the tedi…

    Yeah exactly. One more metric isn't going to solve it.

    I don't necessarily mean reguritating it, but choosing which part of the scripture to surface to the user is already some interpretation/choice. Even the devil can quote scripture …

    Yes it can point you to the right place, but choosing which part of scripture to point you to is already a choice/interpretation

    Anecdote: was testing Opus 5 and even ASD-STE100 cannot save you from its meta-commentary and signposting all the time. It writes what it wants to write, e.g. "here's where you are…

    I get where you're coming from, and the intent to make it easier for people to find examples and verses, but there's a fine line with LLMs giving you answers, is that it's interpre…

    Kinda, more accurately the current goal for labs is to produce economic value to justify high valuations / capex, thus having to RL on correct answers rather than interesting ones.…

    idk if you're still actually looking for a solution (I got nerdsniped heh), but I found a seamless way to have it locked into the speakers + room, instead of a specific source/soft…

    What you said made me think that it's similar (not entirely the same, but adjacent) to those make-a-website for $XX or buy-a-template era of websites. If we think about that as the…

    I like this argument, but I don't think the article argues against taking urgency into consideration. Do you have anecdotes about companies or people that actually ignore urgency? …

    Yeah it's a well-known secret, and I think any sort of scoring system misses the point. The scentific method (and system, incl. peer reviews) is a public good (like good governance…

    Hm since the discourse is mostly on how AI changes this, I still want to make a point that it's worth learning programming (and more), even if I'm a huge proponent of AI being econ…

    Orthogonal to the movie/review, but if I could upvote this 100 times I would. These 3 questions were drilled to me in an elective Study of Visual Arts course in college and changed…

    I read it more as a lament than a real critique. Here's all the ways it was different than the source material. I think that was Nolan's intent all along - a very Nolan, American/H…

    For most of these benchmarks, I feel like a p50 and p95 (using SWE salary as a proxy?) human benchmark as reference would be interesting. Edit: FWIW the paper the post quoted has r…

    I read his followup tweet, and your comment, and I'm not fully convinced that open models are decelerationist. Happy to hear other thoughts on this. Open weight AI is decelerationi…

    One interesting harness thing I saw Cursor do is to give the model access to the entire thread. Even if it doesn't fit in the context window, the model can search through past turn…

    I was curious how have sentiments changed over time. Brief LLM-based analysis: https://ampcode.com/threads/T-019f32ac-3b1e-74be-ad63-5f175d... Overall, seems like it got more nuanc…
