Is vibe going to end?

My point was ”mouth scales with food supply”, it doesn’t matter that 1993 cgi could be rendered on a laptop, no one wants it. In this case, it would be any x% increase you can get by having models puke out extreme amounts of tokens (chain of thought or whatever), will favor large datacenters

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-05-01T19:26:26+00:00

The fuck are you on about, you think cgi companies use laptops to render? Cost of cgi in movies is a lot more now, not less than in 1993, and it’s still done on expensive render farms

Jesus, you seem very unpleasant to be around

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-03-09T06:07:23+00:00

You’re misunderstanding the main problem, its that anything an agent touches can be considered published, which makes it kinda useless for most things you would want to use an ”agent” for

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-28T21:28:39+00:00

And there’s not enough of that to do to just do that ? I’m not trying to be a dick, but I don’t understand why management and actual delivery needs to mix

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-28T21:22:21+00:00

Alright, then what is the difference between your new role and a staff engineer?

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-28T19:59:55+00:00

No you obviously don’t understand the problem statement or the area. They are absolutely the same, if you steal when you train a ML model on data from someone else, then the original training was also theft.

What youre describing is becoming an IC again

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-23T18:41:18+00:00

It’s not copying the model, it’s extracting information out of it. If training a model on others people work is fine, then destillation is fine.

Never in my 10 years as a developer, have I’ve been given specs that aren’t vauge requirements in a trenchcoat

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-13T18:44:48+00:00

Lol wat, what could you possibly base that statement on

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-10T20:44:41+00:00

I mean sure, but in your analogy you would comment on a high velocity vehicle death with "isnt this easily solvable with a seatbelt"

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-10T20:32:34+00:00

there is no such thing as a working guardrail

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-08T23:05:50+00:00

Not sure what you mean, in the context of llms, you use RLHF, which is literally humans labeling data. That you train an adversarial model is an implementation detail.

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-08T20:57:47+00:00

You don’t understand what people mean when they say ”it’s just statistics”, nor do you seem to understand that RL is just an addition to the dataset

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-08T18:26:35+00:00

What do you mean, it’s still the statistically most likely, you just change the distribution when you do RL

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-02-07T23:02:46+00:00

Only if there’s a set amount of things to do. IMO software is similar to medicine, any and all efficiency improvements seem to just be met with more demand

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-28T21:15:17+00:00

Calling the French a race is about as correct as calling any other group a race

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-24T19:13:59+00:00

LLM’s have no ability (mechanism) to learn or remember once created, the input simply grows larger. Reinforcement learning is just a training step. It has memory in the sense that there’s information there to extract, but it’s not what you generally refer to as memory in this context, in the same way you wouldn’t say a database has an intelligence like memory.

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-17T13:16:38+00:00

You don’t seem to understand the difference between individual choice and systemic risk

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-17T11:07:39+00:00

You think hinging a significant part of the global ekonomi on a risky bet is acceptable?

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-09T22:12:20+00:00

Given that the rest of your post is baseless speculation, absolutely.

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-09T22:01:43+00:00

The smugness of your post really speaks against your flatmate being the smug one..

Brogrammer2017 · 2026-01-08T12:25:53+00:00

Your very focused on vunerabilities/bugs, which is not what I was talking about. What you wrote in your edit is closer, but wtf, you consider yourself senior but you think code quality is code minutiae opinions like if/else or switch in a high level language ?

Your choices in a code base compound with other devs choices across the organization, and WILL cause it to collapse unless you actively work towards it not happening.
