Worse? There is nothing wrong with wanting 1B. Anybody who said they wouldn't want it is lying.

building and managing a printer is far from a hobby. it's like the Linux desktop people who just fight with their system instead of enjoying MacOS.

they 100% exceed even medior developers.

who cares about syntax? who cares about iteration? what I care about are _results_, which they can produce at the end. do you check your human colleagues how many iterations they do before committing/showing their work to anybody? no. why should you set such a bar then for your LLM?

100%. this is what I tell people who fail at using these models. the model isn't the problem anymore.

this is not true at all. I'm using Opus and it's great at very complex problems.

it's all 4TB or larger plus the drives do wear leveling internally.

DWPD was the boogey man 10 years ago. everybody worried about it.

now, nobody cares. I have over 500 NVMe drives in our deployment and the drive deaths are not due to wear.

That Claude is much better than Gemini for coding. The message you replied to was quite clear.

Typo obviously :-)

Then you have never worked at a large enough codebase or across enough many projects?

This is not going away.

Even right now the difference with working with 'AI native' developers or with regular developers is day and night.

I certainly wouldn't want a non-clause enabled developer on my team now.

That's not on Claude, that's on the authors.

Claude is a tool. It can be abused, or used in a sloppy way. But it can also be used rigorously.

I've been beating my team to be more papercut-free in the tooling they develop and it's been rough mostly because of the velocity.

But overall it's a huge net positive.

Claude is great. I'm never going back. There is no way back.

I'm at least 5x faster, if not more. With tooling I might be able to get to 10-15x.

I doubt this is true in .nl. 180 a month is low for a live-in au-pair.

We are fully democratic as shown by outing Orban last night.

Doesn't mean we should just blindly vote with the herd.

is this an attempt at nerd sniping? ;-)

on GPU databases sometimes we go up to the GB range per "item of work" (input permitting) as it's very efficient.

I need to add it to my TODO list to have a look at your github code...

I'd love to experiment with this stuff, just literally have no idea how it would be safe to start.

My main concern is using fungi. If it ends up in my lungs I'm most likely screwed, right?

I guess you're in the US?

In Europe I speak up all the time, even to people who are not in Europe.

(Usual disclaimed that this is my opinion.)
