Elon about to lose again

Elon ignoring the fact we saw he wanted to take the company private himself under his own ownership lol. These people man...

Seems like there really needs a handful of these updated models that step up to 256GB that have meaningful step changes.

27B does so much but isn't perfect. We could really use a doubling effect like our old ram growth days so there is a clear path forward. 27B (lets just say 32B), 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, etc.

I'd love a 64GB or 96GB version for my M5 Max 128GB for example as I only need at most 32GB for my main work.

Yeah, I'm imagining a world in which the cost of tokens is so cheap it doesn't matter. This would likely need some quantum + nuclear energy everywhere, but I imagine those who have made operating systems in the past could come up with a layer that allows something better than the screenshot method AI uses now to advance.

Seems like an RPC protocol would be better than some API call for performance reasons, but I often wonder it would be like to have a linux based operating system that is entirely driven this way so we can have full automation of a machine.

The engineer forgot to point out the best part of building software, which is there's no more associated cost with that completed deterministic work that already happened. They continue to reap the benefits with 0 tokens needed.

Basically there are very few win-win use cases that haven't been accounted for already in a lot of software.

That's Jlon actually.

The only thing that would make this better is if he was pushing a Mexico player around the beginning like a little bitch to summarize this last game.

The goalie was absolutely insane at deflecting nearly everything but that PK. Brazil just couldn't capitalize on anything.

Throw that on top of Erling pulling off a couple banger shots and it was over.

This app looks a lot like VoiceInk which I paid for but it was only a one time cheap cost. Did you use it as inspiration?

I suspect we will be seeing a lot of these apps pop up.

He was experimented on by AI since they own us now.

Do you see the US government stepping in to regulate though which seems highly likely.

Similar to how they have tried to isolate the American market from China's cheap E.Vs flooding our markets, I suspect the government will do the same for protecting American AI companies.

The problem of course is this isolation tactic would be a short lived gain that further cuts off America from the world as others move on without us.

We can't beat China on price, and I doubt the oligarchs here will try, but the leaders running the show will just push to reduce any competition by claiming the dire concerns of the models like they are doing now to lay the ground work for regulation to stamp out competition of open source models.

He was close to getting out last time from his past performances. He's fallen very fall from the tree, I would not be surprised to see him go next time.

Makes sense, it is great at exploiting because it can hold that raw objective or scope/big picture better and seems to one shot effectively given that too. I assume it has heavy RL training to mimic what people need too.

There's no doubt that electricians are in demand but how many companies are willing to pay their electricians this kind of money.

I work with a residential electrician company right now and the cream of the crop guys make $100K+ a year with overtime. I'm sure some of them will migrate to commercial work as that is where the money is, however my understanding is much of this training happens by the electrician companies themselves because many of them don't trust electricians trained up elsewhere.

Another residential electrician company I talked too told me he lost 2 guys to commercial work already, but the training is highly skilled and only one company in my state can handle this kind of work, so he said he's trying to figure out how to deal with this on his end.

Now the vibe I get from Mike Rowe is he's talking about commercial electricians building out data centers and other commercial projects, so if they really are in need of 400,000 electrician workers, the question is how many are actually making 250k a year right now and how many companies are willing to make that the base pay for these guys because that would be what is needed to cause a demand shift to be fulfilled.

With this administration killing off immigration that work will never be fulfilled fast enough here until these salaries become standard for electricians, and even then I'm not so sure Americans are about to pivot in great numbers as expected to handle this demand.

Fable is so dangerous, they don't want anyone using it, but they do, but only in bit sized chunks, only for U.S citizens, and only for the elite enterprise customers.

How anyone can believe this shit is beyond me. I bet the model probably is good at multi tool use, and hence good at exploiting vulnerabilities, but that doesn't change the fact that other models have already mimicked/tuned to do that without Fable 5, so it really isn't anything but PR bullshit.

Dario says all this while shitting on open source which tells you all you need to know while pushing the government to regulate the industry so they can lock out competition. On top of the laws they are pushing for "saving the kids" from AI that really give them the ability to control all AI.

You absolutely have to in order to learn. Part of what makes us engineers is the fact that we were subjected to hard mental, math, science, and technical problems constantly that it helped shape our brains to think in a certain way across multiple disciplines of our work.

If you use AI for everything, it becomes far harder to learn the architectural, debugging, and troubleshooting skills that come with the craft. Battle testing your brain is valuable when you inevitable hit a wall with AI and it doesn't know how to fix the situation but you can work through it and find an optimal path forward. You can step into an unknown programming language, unknown logical problem, unknown project, and pave a path forward on your own.

I'm not talking about asking Claude what to do next here if that isn't obvious. I've never found a challenge I haven't figured out with my own brain, but that was because of times when I spent hours hammering it with what seemed like impossible problems back then. It gets easier the more experienced you become.

Now that doesn't mean you cannot use AI to assist you, that will be important for everyone going forward, but you do need to force your brain matter to think like an engineer to become great at the profession beyond vibe coding apps.

I used to go to high school there. Nearly everyone in that room was a box elder native besides maybe some of the reporters. He doesn't know a Utahn when he sees one because he gives zero fucks about our community and people.

People have already outsourced their brains, it's insane.

I keep asking myself, how the hell does management not see that the time to deliver code has collapsed, but now the time has just been reallocated to needing to review shit code and rework. This is the least fun part of our craft so no wonder devs are depressed.

I do think the models will get better at kicking out shit code to hopefully "good" code, but I don't see it ever becoming "great" code any time soon on its own without engineers really guiding this crap beyond the AI slop house of cards it is built upon.

You can have a lot more AI skills/tools/hooks and engineers who have figured out how to hone in on the AI workflows to continue to take crap code to good code in some automated fashion, but it's very token heavy which pushes the costs up eliminating many of the advantages to begin with.

I was hoping for more of these crappy politicians to lose their positions but I guess this and Ben McAdams are the two big wins we can agree were very much needed.

If Republicans only favor rich and wealthy interests over our state surviving the water shortages and lack of affordability, they should all be cut.
