This hopefully means fewer 1000+ line PRs to review

Cuda was first but there was also openCL shortly thereafter. The idea was bound to hatch.

That’s my main concern with the bubble as well. The economy functions better with diversity. There are so many industries that could use funding outside of tech and some that could use funding with some new tech approaches.

Just the sheer size of investment into a single idea should worry people. Diversity is very important.

I’ve programmed inline video players for 25 years. Same with audio and everything else. We had “accelerated” graphics back with winxp and gdi+ and of course OpenGL over ssh with x11. Browser preview pages in most apps are usually snippets of text and maybe an icon or pic. Not rendering a full page.

In a way, applications regressed a lot with react native and electron. I get it’s easier to develop but the apps are very bloated and underperforming even on computers with 10-100x more power.

I could see the same thing in Python. Except instead it would be an inhandled none they didn’t like so they would return a *.

There’s no way they can review 30,000 PRs a day in their monorepo. I wouldn’t be surprised if this slop wasn’t intended. It’s a buggy product imo.

Funny thing about that. This time last year I was applying for jobs and kept my same old latex generated flawed human resume that I’ve been using 20 years or so.

Recruiters said it was standing out in the tech sector. Apparently AI likes to embellish way too much so you don’t trust it.

Yeah. This is absolutely not the case when I worked on control systems, cryptography, or anything else that isn’t a CRUD saas.

The LLM bubble is fuelled by speculation and not current utility.

Are LLMs the best use Of ram? Many other extremely beneficial devices for extremely high value use cases are suffering because of this madman trying to corner the market. Show me the value of everything else suffering.

If we want to talk efficiency, the market and investors seem awfully irrational to me. The whole scarcity and costs skyrocketing for other proven and more valuable use cases is because of inefficiency imo.

Very little tbh in the ones that did well. The provinces that do well end up feeding and transferring money over to others.

I’ve been in municipalities and provinces running healthy surpluses and the economy booms during those times. People do better and schools are better run and so on. And for that matter, Canada boomed after the government fixed the budget in the late 90s. We went south again when the new government showed a complete lack of respect for money.

That may be anthropomorphism things. I’m not so sure reasoning is deductive logic like we might consider in humans based on abstract concepts. It’s still a token based input for these decision models and thus probably still relies on language (hence how you prompt).

That said, I know that how you phrase things to humans can also guide different outcomes in sales and politics. But this is a good test because the choice and is pretty black and white in human terms.
