well, do it as soon as it opens up;

if you really believe it you found a free money glitch

The data to be open, in my case.

The "independent" METR that is composed by... Checks notes... Previously employees from the top labs.

And any exponential growth is also a multiplication, it's not a big deal, just giving example on what they asked before.

Somehow people are interpreting this as some kind of math trick.

It's not a trick, our brains are not wire to deal with numbers growing quickly, but we do understand the math.

Of course it is logical, we are not discussing the math.

But it isn't intuitive, you're not used to numbers that big or that grow that fast.

Few things go from a million to a billion, especially when related to time.

One million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is 31 years.

You need to catchup with the last 15 years then. It's not new at all. But I agree it is getting worse, but it is getting worse every year for a while.

Recent?

Oh dear.

If you really wanna worry about all of these things you better not use any open source from now on. Or even private software as well, because you can't even audit and know what "vibe code" touched.

YES YES YES YES

That's perfect

wrong link...

this guy gets it

So if they paid for pre-training they would not be able to open their weights?

Mostly: Discord, Github issues (as forum), X (twitter at the time), and Discourse! Discourse was growing steadily, even startups like OpenAI and neobanks like nubank (Brazil) had forums for their users because keeping your community active and close was something considered valuable (devrel since then has experienced a rapidly decline).

We were this close to glory... This close!

But we got a generic 3D doll instead of forum-like signatures.

Just imagine something like this: https://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r488/Vayne-D3/HybridSig...

Already 10x cooler, or maybe a long strip of startups / project you've done https://www.carlos-menezes.com/img/before-the-bio/smaller.pn...

The sale is relevant. The spike in activity right before the sale already shows the management hand and how they actively ran the org to optimize for this sale. The rebound right after is hard, and it was (right) before chatgpt

They accelerated the downfall with this and then chatgpt came over

Nice! The showcase of companies is really nice

For those who don't know what the Monica affair was: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/393046/who-or-what-...

I don't have the time to, but I'm surprised there aren't a lot of comments on the decline before chatGPT was released, but after SO was sold to Prosus [1][2]

Even the curious growth spike in activity happened just before the acquisition. I wish I had time to do this analysis a bit deeper, but you can look for SO activity up until when chatGPT was released, it is really noticeable.

Usually #1 actually works, most cases, and missing discord, several healthy communities on Discord nowadays

I was wondering why my local tool to inspect coding agent sessions stopped working in some cases.

This is a really interesting engineering decision, I wonder how many people will want an encrypted external piece of instructions running on their machine.

It's because you have not been paying attention (payin' attention)

I am committed to some projects now, but I did a full analysis of projects to invest, used AI to validate ideas and so on.

My main goal was "solo founder projects as programmer" and one of them was software for veterinarians (second one was for golf tracks).

It is an interesting niche!

And I got it as a Roman curse (or from Roman times). That is common with old sayings.

Let me just add one interesting layer:

The current experiment in São Paulo, 8k+ cameras were added to the city with the same justification: security.

But, at least for smartphones robberies, the results are not obvious: on an average of 24 smartphones stolen every hour[1] in one neighborhood (Pinheiros is a big "tech" area).

I just want to point this out because this premise of more recording = more security = more behavior is not necessarily true.

From what you read, what do you think? All your questions are mentioned in the encíclica.

> Yes we did have similar back in the day, that's why MX and the like DNS records exist.

Care to elaborate? I wanna know more.

I am building several small tools for myself, no real intention of sharing them yet. Some have better solutions in the market:

* Advanced tab organizer, small chrome extension to organize my bad habit of 200+ tabs, can group them into windows, search, close duplicates, search just on a specific window. Pretty fun.

* A clipboard manager, just wanted to build something in Swift for fun

* A todo app for mac, local-only

You lost the opportunity to call it io-chicken

I saw the tweet about the Reddit post about 2 days ago. It probably was X.

I personally don't use whatsapp because I like it, but because all my contacts in my country are over there. It is officially more used than SMS here. It is not optional in my case :/

Woah woah woah slow down, what kind of beer it was?
