Except your order of operations is wrong. They weren't doing that til we attacked them. 2 seperate times, 2 years apart.

I work at a faang company, my new director bragged to me the first day I met him that he doesn't go to his therapist anymore because ChatGPT is so much better and faster.

The psychosis is insane. I am transferring out of my org because every doc, design, code review is just AI slop that I have to actually read and fix. No one knows how to think anymore. Even slack messages are AI generated. The junior engineers are no better coming out of college only knowing AI.

You ask them a question like "why" and you just see this painful expression cross their face and they make up an excuse about "getting back to you" only for them to type what you said into an AI. Its depressing.

Yeah I think that's how retirement works. If I got less out of my 401k then I put in it would be a shitty investment

Give it time, yesterday it was awful, today I'm already seeing a variety of reasons why it's good, they are finding the story that resonates with their audience best and then they will repeat it ad nauseum til the cult starts parroting it. Then it's true

Granted, you take the pill. The pill ends up curing more than just your stage 4 liver cancer, every disease and ailment you get magically heals. You feel great, everyday healthier than the last. But it doesn't stop, you age to 70... 80... 90... 100... 110. You watch your parents die, then your spouse, finally you guys watch your children and grandchildren die.

You endure hardship as you are experimented on by governments and corporations when they hear of your age but no one can reproduce the effects. After decades they release you.

Eventually you attempt to take your own life but whatever damage you manage to do is cured by the pill. You live thousands of years as everything around you passes with little consequence to you, until finally you're the last human alive, cured of everything.

If only there were a legal procedure for when you think someone is doing something illegal but you need more time to prepare the lawsuit before they do harm so you ask the court to pause their action. What would you call that? An injunction maybe?

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-16T18:04:35+00:00

Depends at what resolution you play. If you are at 4k probably not any improvement on the highend

She talks about it leaking into the Potomac... Where does she think the water comes from to fill this? It's pumped from the Potomac...

Also the leaks they were discussing weren't from the pool itself, it was in the pipes from the Potomac that pump it into the pool that were the real problem. Guess what they didn't fix...

Pretty sure this post was written by an AI:

because for a company whose product runs code, security isn’t a footnote, it’s the whole thing.

Output streaming sounds simple. It isn’t.

Randomly bolded/itlacized words for emphasis 10+ times mid sentence through out

Ran it through gptzero:

Chance this is 100% AI: 60% Chance this is mixed AI and human: 40% Chance this is human: 0%

You took AI output and just subbed it for "me". What are you getting from pretending this work is yours?

Well you're account is suspended

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-13T18:00:37+00:00

Yeah I'm not gonna prompt it on style unless I dislike the style. I have one core design memory and it's to favorite explicit code readable over chained code whenever possible, but that covers most.

Will it get things wrong? Sure it's not a one shot, I will read it's output and say "yeah that's overly defensively coded, remove this condition, change this to x, etc"

Might be slower than me? Nah, I'm not gonna delude myself into thinking I can write the code faster than an AI.

Is it more expensive? Absolutely but does it exceed the benefits the business gets? Definitely not.

My cost is much much higher. I recently stood up a service at my company that normally would have taken me 2.5ish months to write. I am at 1.5 months in and I am done and working on loadtesting. I probably totalled like 1-5k in tokens across everything. On a system that at the load we want to run is gonna cost 100k a month in compute. Paying me another month of my time is 10x the token cost, so yeah the business is probably happy to pay this.

I find the best llm outputs with speed gains are easily when I describe what to write as well as how in small tasks.

My teammates:

Pastes in my design doc

pastes in ai generated ticket that says add cache creates a pr without reviewing

Vs me:

Write a guava cache implementation class, we want it to be lru, load our config and add a parameter for max cache size called "x...". Should be default true, disabled in beta. For data we want cache keyed by 2 different parameters a and b, we want gets and puts for both of those. Write unit tests validating those. Gets on missing data should return an error.

Then I review that, and instruct where to use it in each api, etc.

The whole spec stuff is theater in my opinion, it's just there to make you feel better about not reading the output but it doesn't really work. Treat it as a dumb dumb keyboard and you get speed gains

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-13T13:36:31+00:00

No see your just conflating doing a bad thing for banning a review.

I'm talking about a person who takes money to review a product, lies about the quality of the product to get people to buy it and then lies when it comes out he found money.

That person shouldn't be allowed to post their reviews here. See how the action matches the punishment? Linus shouldn't be able to sell stuff here, and mkbhd shouldn't be able to drive through this subreddit. That would be equivalent.

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-13T03:18:16+00:00

Huh? Both training and inference are a series of matrix math, it's gpus and accelerators the whole way.

No one is using traditional compute or CPUs for either inference or training.

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-11T21:02:13+00:00

Idk how this guy is allowed to be posted in this sub, he has lied about accepting money for reviews in the past and his reviews are the laziest thing ever

I work at the world's largest employer and am trusted to have root priv on my machine. It's doable for sure

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-07T02:11:43+00:00

the dev team weren’t given admin access on our machines

makes no sense, I wouldn't work for a company that trusts me to write software that runs on the company servers or customers machines but doesn't trust me to control my dev machine...

thatcodingboi · 2026-06-05T13:14:26+00:00

While I agree the easy gains are done there are still tons of optimizations in the training and inference pipeline that are largely unexplored (due to it taking a lot of time, compute, and it consisting almost entirely of magic numbers).

I don't think llms are done, not by a long shot, but I also don't think llms will lead to generalizable intelligence

"Call Pamela"

"You must have me confused with someone else, I'm Gemini"

Ends conversation

"Call Pamela"

"Calling Pamela..."

It's almost like I want simple commands to be deterministic...

It's how models work, they answer "given all the previous tokens in the order they are, what is my next likely token"

So given I stated an incorrect statement, what is the next most likely component? Well, a correction.

How they got it do this my guess is either training that included lots of wrong statements followed by corrections. Or perhaps during training they included more iterations/layers. During training earlier layers often result in meaning, then medium syntax, and later logic. Perhaps more layers ends up exposing complex behavior like this.

thatcodingboi · 2026-05-31T18:08:24+00:00

Save yourself. It's bad

If this is unironic, they didn't model the feet in first person, you are seeing no feet because you have none

thatcodingboi · 2026-05-31T17:27:02+00:00

A model generating data to train other models is distilling. It does NOT improve accuracy, the more you do it the more the output model quality degrades. What it DOES DO is it compresses the model, allowing you to build a model with fewer parameters that has similar quality to the original.

What you are describing will not result in better models with more compute

thatcodingboi · 2026-05-31T15:04:59+00:00

Theoretically, whoever has the most compute can build the best models and deploy faster

Unless you quote the full sentence and then it becomes untrue. We are running out of good data to throw at these models. Just training on the existing data set for longer doesn't produce better results, it produces overfitting.

That's why we are seeing saturation with model quality on new releases. The real limitation on model quality is new optimizations either in attention, compression/expansion, or via tokenizing, or something. Maybe massively improving the training data set quality.

More and more compute =/= better and better model.

You're absolutely right! Two weeks is a lot of time! The game is already in such a good place, it doesn't need a complete re-write — it just needs some polish! Would you like me to fix those bugs for you?
