I actually think this would take AGI to solve, which makes me optimistic about the future of software development.

All the benchmarks are currently testing against automated tests the AI can use as an oracle

Was Dario's company winning at that point in time by any chance?

In some other countries family generally takes this role: grandparents look after them

This might be the savior for software developers

Doing mostly language tutoring last I checked.

This works if you're interested in running a business, but what well paying work doesn't require a degree or some kind of formal training certification?

I know some people whose work was already almost completely eliminated by AI (language translation) and they're not doing great. Reality is there's no-one out there looking out for you except yourself and very close family/friends.

God this makes me happy that it confirms they're viewing open models as a threat

Good luck, Dario

> because it's based on how much cash someone can fork over

I'd argue here that a business's marketing budget is going to be effectively unlimited if it's profitable, assuming they have the initial budget to kickstart it which most do. If $10 in ad spend returns $12, you can just keep pouring money into it.

Apart from that yeah you're right that the goal is better product discovery.

I'm talking about manipulative advertising. Showing someone a product that they're interested in and then go on to buy isn't manipulative.

Is your idea that manipulative advertising actually works based on anything? Trying to make people want something they don't already want is a massive waste of money.

Advertising needs to be more targeted if anything. I don't want to see a bunch of irrelevant junk - I want to see high quality products that are useful to my life.

If both DS4.1 and Opus can complete the tasks you throw at it at good enough quality the differences are negligible.

Who cares if your car can go 200mph if all you need is 60. If my requirement is 60mph, I want a faster 0-60, not a higher top speed.

What models are you running locally? Are you banking on them improving or do you think they're good enough today? 32GB of VRAM there wouldn't be close to enough to run the best local models.

I've messed around with Qwen3.6-27B but I'm not sure if it could yet even replace Luna for me.

It's a competitive strategy with Anthropic, not necessarily releasing as soon as they're done

Have you looked at the prices of GPUs lately?

On sleep I'm not actually sure if they've parsed out whether it's little sleep itself that affects you or if it's little sleep making you not exercise or eat well

I'm wayyyy less likely to exercise if I've only slept 5 hours

Luna is genuinely my favorite model. I like developing in small chunks instead of huge sweeping changes, and Luna is so good for that.

I don't think users genuinely care about app size. Hell I'm a developer and I hardly notice despite caring about it in the apps I build

A lot of these services are sold privately. I have no doubt it exists for HN

Using AI doesn't mean you're making yourself dumber. It comes down to how you use it.

From my experience GLM 5.3 is at most 6 months away from the frontier models, and good enough for most tasks already

Even 5.2 is doing really well in comparison here: https://labs.scale.com/leaderboard/sweatlas-refactoring

So lets say you plan the software architecture and take a person off the street, give them a frontier model and tell them to clone Figma given your architecture

How far would they get?

Outsourcing solved coding a long time ago. You can go on Fiverr and prompt a real human developer for $2/hr - even cheaper than LLMs!

My p(doom) is high just based on how I've seen this whole LLM situation be handled.

I don't think LLMs are going to lead to any kind of recursive self improvement, but I'm convinced if and when we land on a path that does lead there, we'll speed down it over greed, with no care for safety.

I'm talking specifically about the app SyncThing, though. I use it and rely on it, and I haven't opened it in over a month. It works as a background service.

Good design would do absolutely nothing for me.

Pixel art is extremely popular. Not sure what you're talking about

Go look at the 2d-hd games that Square Enix is putting out

Replacing 90% is better than 0%

its not an app you open much. I'd prefer them to spend time on the actual functionality

What is an early death?

Life expectancy has changed a lot. In 1900 the life expectancy was around 40. A while before that it was 30. What will it be if we cure cancer, alzheimers, dementia, heart disease (the main killers of "old age")?

This sounds like you've just accepted that death is inevitable and you might as well not fight it, which is fair, but that's quite different from not wanting to live longer if the opportunity was available.
