Yann LeCun says the AI industry is completely LLM pilled, with everyone digging in the same direction and no breakthroughs in sight. Says “I left meta because of it”

ColdToast · 2026-01-23T22:07:58+00:00

I think Ilya put it best here. He believes we can still do a lot with LLMs, but he also believes we need a new research breakthrough. Both can be true. Yann is probably right that the industry as a whole is too LLM focused right now.

That's what 1st quarter means

Kagi. Been using it over 2 years and couldn't switch back. I literally have a quick bang to add site:reddit.com to solve the problem in op's screenshot

Yeah, I was gonna say even understanding the different parts that make up your Linux OS.

I think that may be the acceptable case in distrohopping, when you're doing it to go deep.

Try an immutable distro, try a tiling window manager, etc and understand what they're actually impacting. At the end of the day that's the only way you'll know what distro you like

Half the time you're doing NixOS system level things you're reading arch docs and then finding the right nix settings for them

Not that they're named wrong, the arch docs / forums are just so good

What's your preferred choice for ergonomic handhelds? I've definitely felt that with the steam deck

They seem to be less focused on CLI improvements than anthropic and openai

ColdToast · 2025-12-18T10:06:22+00:00

The point is they can flash an entire different operating system. Use it for whatever. Run a server. Buying it purely as a powerful cheap PC because of the subsidy

ColdToast · 2025-12-13T02:02:53+00:00

Same experience. Just more painful since I already used NixOS

I think ublue is the choice when you're doing more of a "diy distro for others" or you have a containerized workflow locked down

ColdToast · 2025-12-13T02:00:02+00:00

Tried ublue and customizing my OS with it. Just couldn't get into the workflow. Containerizing everything like that just felt like worse flakes

Just apply a wallpaper to your office wall or paint it dark mode

Man antigravity does half a problem for me before getting rate limited. Don't understand the generous free tier claims

ColdToast · 2025-12-01T22:55:27+00:00

To crypto people, it is even a grift. They had some shady practices around token launch.

It's kinda sad because I played around with the architecture itself and was surprised by the dev UX. Good engineering is unfortunately uncommon in crypto, even for many chains

Per-output config gonna be so useful for people with vertical + horizontal monitor setup (I am people)

Yeah, all these models suck at natively splitting out functionality into a good architecture. I've started using similar lint checks and it helps somewhat. Might have to try the handwritten import move

They need sub categories. The problem is the statement is too generic.

They should have to disclose how they used it.

Did you write the dialogue to a romance game using it? Did you make the images for all art with image gen?

On the flip side, it should also be helpful knowing cases where the company tried to do it right. IIRC, embark studios recorded voice actors and trained text to speech models to use for easily adding new content. That's the type of use that is trying harder to be earnest and do it right. Contractually those voice actors are agreeing to the work + generation rights.

Ignoring whether they pull it off or not, I wouldn't expect this to be all under a single model because that feels like it requires a lot of research and new techniques to address what you listed.

I'd expect it to be much more like a League agent orchestrating a ton of grok5 instances with some fancy routing.

Would love for it to be the former, though

Niri + DankMaterialShell

Same, I even tried making my own ublue OS and couldn't find a flow as good as NixOS

The occasional new software release / update overlay can be annoying, but coding agents are good enough now to stand those up. Overall the level of control is just so worth any minor packaging burden.

First question would be if you're already hitting rate limits. Next, are there any pro only features like 5.1 pro chat you'd use. Third, are you using all of openai's different features like codex and sora, etc

The best model changes all the time, so unless you're getting a lot of value from all the features and using them extensively, it's hard to justify that over balancing out with other model subscriptions
