incredible reach

> India and China share a disputed 3,440km (2,100-mile) boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This de facto border runs through remote and inaccessible natural paths along the Himalayas, passing through rivers, remote mountains and forest cover. It is ill-defined and its demarcations have remained a source of contention between two neighbours who fought a major war in 1962, in which India suffered a humiliating defeat.

It’s not riskless, it’s just the benchmark that all active investors and their associated podcasters have to beat.

Active investors usually fall into the same fallacy where people all rate themselves as above average. Mathematically speaking a large portion of active investors have to do worse than average and simply stating FUD about averages won’t change that

ah yes, instead of giving students homework, have them serve in the military for a few years until they’re ready for college

I think the fact that you vibe code your home explains that we have fundamentally different worldviews and aren't gonna agree on anything here

So at the end of the day you still need an app… and maybe instead of spending tokens every time you want an app you just use a prebuilt one… :surprised-pikachu:

Maybe OP can explain why with unlimited tokens neither OAI nor Anthropic have any first party apps other than the main Claude/chatgpt apps

There are only so many rust migrations you can do, at some point you gotta ship something user visible which means you have to deal with people which means the code was never the bottleneck even in 2014

Dude, this is AI psychosis. Just ask the LLM to write you a program (“compile”) and then you can run it locally forever

They’re not fundamentally different at all. In fact the paper is using existing models as a backbone and just providing a shortcut between the two ends of the pipeline

Pass the blunt my guy

Maybe AI can help you read the article first

If we’re learning anything from the past 15 years it’s probably not to extrapolate AI progress in a straight line.

Progress is spiky and not guaranteed. The capital costs have also ballooned to the point where the rate has to level out

The vibe coded crap fills the same niche as the consonant slop brands on Amazon

I’m confused, so now that he is considered influential in the fields he lacked credentials for how is that in any way a negative

Unless you think those fields were scientifically rigorous until they decided to adopt his ideas?

Maybe you just disagree with the existence of “male gaze”

This comment is a joke about how Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) boasted that “coding is solved” and immediately received the expected mockery/screenshots of bugs in Claude Code. He replies to one of them “Coding is solved, bugs are not yet solved. Fix incoming”

> If AI conjures up a cocktail to cure cancer and we don't know how it works, but it passes a phase 3 trial, you can bet we will be on our knees thanking it, or more likely giving a standing ovation at our plenary session.

Ironic that his vaccine skepticism evaporates when there’s an opportunity to be contrarian. Or maybe he’s changed his mind now that the overwhelming evidence of the Covid vaccines proves he was full of shit

Go ask the man himself

corollary: coding is solved, bugs are not solved

I think the effect is twofold - spend/pupil tends to benefit poorer students more (diminishing returns), so a good school in a poor neighborhood needs more $$ to achieve equivalent outcomes. And then the lower property tax revenue in the poorer neighborhood makes it harder to sustain that higher spend

Even "bad" schools use this strategy to move some of the "good" kids into special programs, etc. to raise their average scores. Which makes the remaining classes even worse. It's an eternal struggle between raising the floor vs raising the ceiling

It's also a feedback loop, once you're known for "good schools" then the homes become more expensive. If you don't care about moving then it's often cheaper to buy a home to send your kid to a good public school vs. sending them to private school.

The common perception is that OAI/Anthropic are pumping up their hype before they unload on retail in their IPOs

The only way they can get lock in is with the data. Right now it’s like a return to the early Web 2.0 days where everyone had an API. You hook the harness up to Slack, Gmail, GitHub, etc. so it can do work.

And like Web 2.0 I’m sure the day will come where the walled gardens return. All the old SaaS companies are starting to charge for agentic access. Proportionally more of the AI budget will go to them instead of the model providers, who are still stuck in this price war

It’s interesting that both companies have fully embraced agentic development with unlimited token budgets and yet still can’t expand beyond the original core products

All of those companies that naive HNers used to say they could code in a weekend literally can be coded in a weekend now, so why haven’t they?

If enterprise is the goal they’re really at the whims of the old school software companies because they own no data of their own. Imagine Google decides to push Gemini one day and now ChatGPT can’t write docs anymore.

Might as well be questions for believers in flat-earth

Projects were already doing this by making you jump through hoops to submit an issue. It filters out the low effort chaff. I think asking for people (instead of their agents) to submit reports is on the same level.

“Solved” = roughly back on par with 4.8. This is like Apple rolling back the butterfly keyboard and telling you it’s the best keyboard yet

Oh yeah let’s play this game. The ones resistant care about their work and pour long hours getting the details just right. The ones who love it are the ones who just want to close tickets. It’s now possible for a small team (one person, a few) to create an avalanche of slop with the help of agentic methods. If you were a 9 to 5er who valued sprint velocity but never once pondered how a monad is like a burrito back in the day, AI is the All-Mother

Sounds like Anthropic should close up shop then, those chumps are offering their product on the internet for any random loser to distill

this is the sort of brain rot thought that you have in a dorm room the day you are introduced to Econ

“bro like, what if we could price the sum total of human knowledge? That wouldn’t be that much, right?”

quite the leap from “authors rely on the work of others” to vacuuming up the sum total of digitized knowledge to tune some matrices

The hordes of acolytes mumbling “Jevon’s paradox, Jevon’s paradox” every time AI gets cheaper beg to differ. Every minute saved using AI is just an opportunity to use more AI
