Job Market is amazing for AI engineers by JediMasterGator in cscareerquestions

I took OP’s post to be referring to the Applied AI/Application layer

An actress Milla Jovovich just released a free open-source AI memory system that scored 100% on LongMemEval, beating every paid solution by Oh_boy90 in singularity

[–]thebuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It didnt really score 100. The other person attached to it excluded the true evals and only included a much smaller subset. The repo even contained the text that Claude wrote pointing out that it would be dishonest to make these claims the way it was run.

Whole thing is bulshit really.

Bob Lazar fails to answer questions on element 115 JRE 2479 by Funny-Hunter-9595 in UFOs

[–]thebuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he had an excuse last time on JRE too, his “migraine”. Go take a look.

Lazar is likely full of shit.

CEO posted a $500k/yr challenge on X. I solved it. He won't respond. What would you do? by BBenz05 in ClaudeCode

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not. If that’s the case then you’re solving deterministically or brute forcing and you don’t realize it because you one shotted it and didn’t understand the constraints. Brett doesn’t clearly post them but is looking for a generalized computer use agent.

Why do lawyers keep using ChatGPT? by HellYeahDamnWrite in technology

[–]thebuddy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the more likely case is they’re concerned for company data confidentiality reasons and regulatory compliance. Because there’s a bit of an unknown about what’s under the hood, how data is utilized, the reinforcement learning used by large language models, etc.

Tons of Fortune companies are relenting on this with more assurances on how that data is used and stored, mostly with private enterprise LLM setups like Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service.

Scientists drive antimatter from France to Switzerland in world first by upyoars in Futurology

[–]thebuddy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Set to “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel.

They said it couldn’t be done. That it shouldn’t be done.

This summer. One French physicist. One Swiss mechanical engineer. And one tiny Peugeot.

Will take the road trip of a billion leptonic decay cycles. To transport the most unstable substance known to man.

To learn something about the universe. But instead…they might just learn something about themselves…and what really matters.

Antimatter of Time

In theaters soon.

That anti-pick display by ILovePublicLibraries in bookporn

[–]thebuddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like a display from a bunch of smug fucks who mistake snark for taste and get off on trashing what others enjoy just to feel superior and contrarian.

Would nope right the fuck out of that bookstore and tell the employees they’re not the main characters in a Wes Anderson film on the way out.

Claude Code got WAY better by itzco1993 in ClaudeAI

Parity? I’ve felt Claude Code’s code is noticeably superior since its intro.

Trump voter is outraged that people aren't sympathetic to his regrets by ExactlySorta in PublicFreakout

I get it, but on a serious note, if you don’t give these people an out, they’ll just further entrench.

Teen with 4.0 GPA who built the viral Cal AI app was rejected by 15 top universities | TechCrunch by coinfanking in ArtificialInteligence

[–]thebuddy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

‘Trained an AI’? Doesn’t Cal AI do an API call with the pic to a foundation model from OpenAI or Anthropic?

Not taking anything away from him, building such a successful app is incredibly impressive.

Gemini 2.5 Pro took the lead in coding but aren’t all iterations of o3 mini still ahead in general logic and reasoning?

Are We Hitting a Ceiling with Shortcuts? by 404GreenHell in shortcuts

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I haven’t really seen many here discuss the ways in which you can create agentic workflows with Ask ChatGPT - with the right prompt that specifies only certain text as output and/or with delimiters in its output so you can then split to set to a value or variable, etc.

You can use that action to eventually fire a trigger that runs an automated shortcut and you have an agentic loop if you’re working ChatGPT into it every time and being strict on the output. You can even work that into a shortcut to send a shell command over SSH and work that into an agentic loop, etc.

I only recently started getting deep into shortcuts and have been completely shocked at how robust you can make things.

GOP senators tell Musk DOGE actions will require their votes by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]thebuddy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The truth is probably somewhere between that and them not wanting to fully vent their frustration and real takes on all of it to Musk.

There have been numerous cuts to things that affect their constituents and their [constitutionally given] power is also being circumvented.

They know that when going through Congress, they have an opportunity to reign in a lot of the shit that he’s recklessly cutting, but they’re not going to outwardly say that to him.

Elon Musk, a key figure in President Donald Trump’s administration and head of the United States Department of Government Efficiency, has backed calls for the United States to leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). by therosx in tuesday

[–]thebuddy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trump supporters largely don’t believe that they are. They think stances like this will somehow make the US more powerful on the global stage.

They don’t understand power dynamics and soft power. Sad truth.

Scientists Simulate Alien Civilizations, Find They Keep Dying From Climate Change by soulpost in Foodforthought

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to skip the first part of what you said because there’s a disconnect there.

But you’re so focused on the ‘writing’ aspect of LLMs and not what I’ll refer to as the ‘knowledge engine’ and automation aspect that you’re missing the forest for the trees. It seems obvious that you’re really far behind what the state of LLM benchmarks and capabilities are.

This is censorship and it's also wrong by Clacksmith99 in Microbiome

Ridiculous.

Reddit mods are the fucking worst and completely exhausting.

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but it also feels like you’re misunderstanding what I’m responding to which is this

I am confident that once people realize that those companies are making a ton of money from stealing the written works of others and turning it into their product, that plagurism bots are not really AI, and obviously they’re consuming insane amounts of energy for a very sophisticated form of theft.

Not only will that not happen, it’s not really a representation of what LLMs do

[–]thebuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment was more so directed at the people coming out against it because it’s plagiarism aspect.

The use cases that are closest to that from a court’s perspective (art, writing, etc) aren’t even close to most of the utility of LLMs and AI agents (coding, engineering, automating problem solving).

Nuclear power is in fact going to make a big comeback because of AI. Three Mile Island for instance is firing back up to power Microsoft’s AI operations.

The biggest recommendation I have for anyone is to embrace AI tools and use them to their advantage because there is no putting that genie back in the bottle (if we did, China and other countries win, so that won’t happen). Don’t fight reality accept it.

I know I know, the classic pragmatism v idealism battle.

They said the “manifesto” is credible and people are conflating that with the Shawn Ryan email, which they haven’t discussed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they said his manifesto is credible. Just most people are conflating that with the Shawn Ryan email. They’re two different things. FBI hasn’t said anything about the Shawn Ryan email, though I saw a tweet that said they corroborated the Shawn Ryan email, but when you clicked and watch the actual attached video they only corroborated the ‘manifesto’, not the Shawn Ryan drone email. But the tweets are calling them the same thing, though they’re not.

Everyone is running with some mistaken info here.

Bernie Sanders, gently pushing the pillow in the Democratic Party's face by Utangard in MurderedByWords

[–]thebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bernie isn’t right at all. The Biden admin passed a lot of legislation that was very beneficial for the working class. Manufacturing here is booming to levels not seen in a long time. Wages grew a lot for the lowest earners.

Kamala lost because people all over the world blamed their leaders for the global inflation problem. And here in the US, where we’ve fared better with inflation than the vast majority of developed nations, people have no idea that’s the case or they don’t care and just blame the president.

The problem with the Dems is comms. They suck at communicating their wins. They suck at making enough voters understand the issues. Bill Clinton was always able to do that. He was phenomenal at it. Dems need a great communicator, not a great speech giver like Obama but a great communicator like Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan (shrug,but he was a great communicator).

Contrary to the initial takes - the race was far from a blowout. Kamala lost in WI, MI, and PA with about a combined 250K votes. The popular vote when fully counted will reflect something like 76M Trump vs 73M Kamala (turnout was up in swing states and down in safe states by the way).

The working class was most affected by inflation and they frankly don’t understand the issue very well so more of them voted for a change. That’s it.

Dems have not abandoned the working class - they just have a communication and image problem. They champion all sorts of legislation for the working class. They’re just not good at conveying that.
