Weren't they caught multiple times gaming the benchmark even more so then the rest?

Yes and Zuck effectively disbanded the entire team that did that. Not saying we shouldn't cast a critical eye on it, but it probably does warrant a second chance.

Zuck was part of that team.

Interesting that neither meta nor xai chose to do open source given that they are both clearly behind Google, OpenAI and anthropic - and a serious us open source offering would give them a clear foothold.

:(

Well, Vietnam is not in the list of restricted territories.

Anyway, what is "your region" ?

Is this where I am now, or is it where I activated my Oculus 2 five years ago ?

Yeah, I think it is definitely great. Having said that, I am still debating in my mind whether the volume of software engineers needed in the AI era is going to increase or decrease because of all of these advancements. On the one hand, because it is easy to build products, more and more people will build. And more and more products and features will be built. However, a lot of people who are non-technical will also…

That is IMO myopic. I'm not sure that it's even true now let alone in the nebulous future.

Most of what we do as engineers is precisely describe or analyze the behavior we want or the behavior we don't want.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but neither can humans.

You've implicitly assumed here that AI systems will always be worse at contextualizing and framing questions than the average engineer. I'm not sure that it's even true now let alone in the nebulous future.

You haven't narrowed the fundamental myopia of the assumption here, just dressed it in slightly different clothing.

At least in China a lot of software developers are now struggling. I think for a lot of type of software we have now reached peak employment. Someone payed a few k just for a normal website.

> At least in China a lot of software developers are now struggling. Do you think that Chinese software industry is that relevant to the kind of software market talked about on HN? I.e. lots of enterprise b2b and infra companies. Chinese companies have always had a very low willingness to pay for software which kinda breaks the flywheel of B2B SaaS companies and companies to service those companies all the way down.

Its a signal. They were earning well and AI crashed the market in China.

Lot more details in the linked report https://ai.meta.com/static-resource/muse-spark-1-1-evaluatio... From Terminal-bench-2.1 details, > We use a bash-tool-only agent harness to evaluate 89 Terminal-Bench 2.1 tasks from the official repository, where resources are capped at 6 CPU cores and 8GB RAM. This disqualifies the results. Each terminal bench task has a cpu upper limit and RAM upper limit. Overriding either is…

Out of curiosity, how often are the resource limits the bottlenecks? What do harnesses do to help here - limit parallelism? More efficient tools?

How would they know what to ask or contextualize if they don't know what the user wants?
