But would you not agree that writing less code by hand and even looking less at code at all becomes more practical with each new model? If we extend this trajectory, we should see that the time interacting directly with code becomes less and less.

Genuinely, what makes people not believe in coming AGI? I read quite a lot on hackernews but never encounter a strong post/comment against it, apart from the „what is marketing“ discussion. Maybe people don’t bother because everyone is in their trenches, tough I don’t understand how people do not see the AGI coming. What kind of doom, if any, will befall is something different of course. I don’t want to believe there will be AGI in the next 5 years, but it sure is hard not to!

For Firefox and surely for Chrome and Safari aswell, there are vim extensions. I have one, it’s beautiful and wouldn’t want to miss it.

Idk, but for me it is ridiculous, people still doubt these valuations. SpaceX was of course non sense. But to value those companies lower than 1 trillion??? Please, link some source to change my mind.

I would like a reassessment of that. This was 2023. I imagine the only ones filling the moat is Chinese labs, but there are other significant obststacles for even Chinese models. Even if they would become as good as their American counterparts, the distribution and inference is mostly in the ballpark of Anthropic and OpenAI. But I don’t know anything, so I would love to hear other opinions.

I am really wondering, how they tackle the long trail problem of unknown situations. Sure they are monitor them constantly but I am asking precisely, how to handle situations that occur ridiculously infrequently: do they sample them 1000x in sim? Or do they use a different model and track uncertainty in the model constantly? How to get another 0 between the dot and the percent sign in situations where the model makes the wrong choice with a significant probability?

Can anybody explain, what Tenstorrent market position is? I know only little about Hardware design and manufacturing.

I have never really looked at ad revenues, but honestly those numbers seem reasonable and crazy at the same time (or their calculation at least). My main issue is, that I hate oligopolies. For many industries I think a country can protect itself against oligopolies from outside. But everything digital comes out of little valley on the west coast. This really bothers me.

That idea feels really relevant to me as a future research direction(not an expert). Could maybe someone explain what I am missing here? Why does this idea not get more attention?! Is it not new? And if so, could one state why it is not commonly employed?
