• For corporate software, there’s so many bugfixes and features, which require so few additions/changes that it’s faster to do it than to write the prompt.

  But obviously only if you’re able to hold the entire codebase in your skull, but a proficient developer should be able to do so.

  If people begin outsourcing these changes to LLMs, then they’re cooked and no longer able to verify the output.

  You’re reading more into it than you need to.

  It’s not about being shallow, when 90%+(?) of the population shares that commonality.

  I consider myself a panromantic, heterosexual non-binary person.

  Sure personality matters a lot to me, but I can’t sexually engage with a penis. It’s just how it goes.

• This is kind of like the “you won’t have a calculator with you all the time” argument by your 8th grade math teacher in 2003

  Which is grand, given we’ve had researchers agreeing effectively incorporating calculators into math education improves everyone’s ability to do math without calculators - Since the 90s

  There’s pretty good arguments to include calculators from a really young age, to improve the understanding of numbers

• Deepseek publicly claims to have created their models, by distilling competitors and that’s why they’re able to create them really really cheap.

  There could be other motives behind such a claim, such as making competitors fear making their most powerful tools public.

  Of course they have frontier labs around as well, at the very least at various universities.

  The amount of people that worked in his office, that made glazing email all (yep all 2500 global workers) was astounding. In short, that guy was seen mostly as a joke in a large slew of the offices. Because he was so lost from reality.

  But he had a cult following, because he was some kind of a name within a niche

• The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.

  Ultimately what happens if there’s a bunch of “helloers” approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there’s definitely an argument to be had, that it’s the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response

• I honestly think the styling is the main reason it feels AI.

  because the sentences are too short, they’re a style I sort of writes at times. Just sort of. LLMs tends to output longer sentences, rather than the two-three words. Then dot. That’s a rare one for LLM

  However it’s not an anti AI site, so they might have vibe styled it and probably had a LLM help with some of the wording. However I think a human did vet and rewrite parts of it.

• Functionally all new apps are “Linux development work”, as modern C# solutions are containerised and hosted on Linux servers.

  Microsoft gave up on Windows servers a decade ago when they released .net Core, as it was the sound solution to ensure continual growth of Azure and fighting off Java adoption hosted through AWS/GCP

  .net framework is a niche framework now, which just a few legacy platforms run today.

  However the reason IT requires Mac and Windows for everyone, is because they can lock those machines down. Like mad down, they don’t want to build software to lock Linux machines down from a central place.

• There’s largely still above average working conditions for the people that do land a job in tech, but right now the job security is rather low.

  The thing is, if you’re managing an important project. The companies want to pay extra, to ensure they’re having decent people hired and have their time if something breaks out of hours.

  But remote hirers, do also factor regional factors into account. Most US companies okay with remote workers, will have payranges per state. Most European companies, have at least pay ranges per country. You’re getting paid more in Denmark than you’d be in Hungary as an example. To account for cost of living as well as local competition

  Some people are claiming 3k for rent is the minimum in the area. Just north of Beverly Hills.

  That’s half the salary, just for a studio apartment. Then there’s another chunk for taxes and they’re left with 1-2k for general expenses and living life.

• They’re kinda comparing apples and oranges, fairphone doesn’t really have a budget phone.

  They just have one model, which they gradually upgrade the hardware of and gives a new number.

  Right now there’s barely any sellers of a Fairphone 4 as an example, and you’re able to get it for ~400 euroes from refurbished condition sellers.

  Most brands, continues to sell old models. Which ends up as the budget phone 3 generations down the line. But fairphone doesn’t, they only sell a fairly powerful phone from new condition.

  Pornhub is also in an unique place, given a lot of advertisers won’t advertise there. Pushing prices down, but simultaneously a different set of advertisers can only advertise there. Pushing the price up. I have absolutely no clue whether or not pornhub charge more per ad view than Google ad services on average

• The same should apply to companies who build AI, if it’s used to hack someone or make CSAM.

  Only if they host the model, if it’s a self hosted open source model, the entity hosting the model should be held accountable

  Also to keep your analogy going, if I tell you how to make a grenade. You then go out to buy supplies, make the grenade and blow up your neighbour, should I be held accountable for sharing knowledgea?

• You’re not going to context hack complexity, every time you summarise something and pass it onto the next agent. You’re losing complexity.

  Varin Sikka is his son, co author of the paper and based on Stanford’s site an undergraduate. profiles.stanford.edu/363374
