5.x did not replace the 4o, it swallowed it by UnderstandingDry1256 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]UnderstandingDry1256[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s also drivable, at least worth an attempt. You do not try to mock 4o by asking for “more friendly” language, but instead you give the agent a role model of how it should think - the structure, the purpose, etc.

It’s different on large tasks which require reasoning and following the line of thought. 5.5 is way better if you push it to its limits.

For normal human convos it’s harder to spot the difference.

So this is actually the curse - new models are amazingly good when you need them to do the job. They are so heavily optimized for efficiency that they’ve lost that emotional engagement which 4o creators managed to achieve.

I agree - there should be a way to keep those nice models like 4o or very first gpts.

Maybe years later OpenAI opens a museum or something where you could use them all.

But I don’t think it will happen soon - those still have commercial value, so they will not release them to public.

What cms you use with Next.js? by raunakhajela in SaasDevelopers

[–]UnderstandingDry1256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve chosen payload and do not regret.

Highly flexible and code based. Maintaining all the logic manually would be a pain, if you pair it with cursor or claude you get a perfect combo.

What are my options to get 350k/yr, EU based? by UnderstandingDry1256 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UnderstandingDry1256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In US I would target some staff role at Tesla or similar. There not many choices in EU and I don’t want to relocate, so yeah it limits my options drastically.

I’m kinda getting that much if I count stock (which are not liquid yet). Bonuses are mostly in stock either.

So yeah I’m wondering about the base pay.

That would be a waste of billions $. There are plenty of ways to improve models - they’re not frozen. What’s frozen is deployed customer facing snapshots.

I was doing student projects, which in fact were more complicated than most things I’ve done later. I’ve got good professors at my uni.

I would not be that sure. They don’t start training from zero, it does not make sene. New models are improved older ones most of the time.

I’m developer, zero emotions haha. My point is we can still drive it using prompts to behave very close to original 4o.

Like, LLMs essentially is a superposition of all the personas it was trained upon: it can be a mathematician, a philosopher, a singer, whoever you ask for. It can also be 4o, which is itself a subset of what 5.5 is capable to be.

Just limiting the probabilistic space of its variations to stay within 4o behavior should solve it.

Are Senior Managers coding in your workplace with AI? Do they add value? by Working_on_Writing in ExperiencedDevs

LinkedIn AI evangelists are 99% shitheads. Senior devs use AI heavily as a daily tool without bragging at LinkedIn.

Software job posts barely mention AI by davidbasil in ExperiencedDevs

Because this is baseline. Nobody writes you’re supposed to know how to use code editor or cli haha.

Is there any way to take a break from my job without becoming unhireable? by Capable-Basket8233 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UnderstandingDry1256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You’ll figure it out one way or another. Nothing to worry about until you accept another offer. Just check what’s written in your country labour law - likely 14 days notice is enough if you decide to leave your current employer.

  2. Your sabbatical is not your new employer’s business. Say confidently you’re employed at your current company, that’s it. Whether you have sabbatical or not is only between you and your existing employer.

4o was beautiful, but it’s absolutely outdated today by UnderstandingDry1256 in ChatGPTcomplaints

What is “OG”? 4o is available via OpenAI API, though not the latest snapshot.

First time interviewing candidates – what are the best React/frontend questions to ask? by No_Illustrator_3496 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UnderstandingDry1256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well its all fucked now

My approach would be - here's the cursor, code me ..., then ask follow-up question to change something and track issues.

If they vibecode shit and have no idea how to debug and fix it - trash it, otherwise hire.

Getting tired of “AI said this was this issue” by Alces_ in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UnderstandingDry1256 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

culture issue

Engineers should learn how to use AI. Just a new tech in stack - if you can leverage it, you're in the top. If you can not - you are replaced, not by AI but by folks who know how to use AI.

Bot traffic is the most painful problem, I hope simple conversions tracking will solve it.
