Falcon 1 is the obvious one.

Look man I'm not a fan of Elon, but it's ridiculous to say the starship is the "worst". It's coming out of early development and has had some minor success already.

Well Troy Hunt makes money off the back of your data being leaked so I expect nothing less.

Your point really goes both ways, we really don't know anything about how LLM usage is affecting anything. No one knows, it's the wild wild west, which is whatever. But I think no one can really draw conclusions from what's happening in tech right now.

Reminds me of COVID and how everyone was fighting over early trends during that time.

I see this question a lot. Not associated with OP but most companies don't want to maintain a bunch of vibed up apps they don't understand.

I work outside of SV in the southeast and most businesses know AI is being used for products they use but they want experts in that field behind that.

Silicon Valley is indeed, disconnected from the reality of the world.

I'm not so sure "ai" (LLMs) is superior to us. LLMs are actually incapable of being superior, maybe some years down the road some new tech makes my statement mute, but today is not that today.

Meetings can be highly effective in getting things done if a clear and reasonable objective is set.

This is the reason. My city is struggling to fix its water supply that was broken over a decade ago (our water supply comes from a temporary system) since FEMA sent our funds to other things under the first trump admin.

They don't want to put the cost on the consumer, but there is no other choice. If our government was smart (it's not) they would make these rules and fund the changes.

Some of their cards were beginning to become competitive for the price in the consumer market, they were getting there imo, just afraid to sync the insane amount of money needed for R&D to get them to the next level to actually compete with Nvidia in the enterprise space.

Intel is just bending over for shareholders instead of doing actual engineering. A big reason the previous CEO got yeeted.

I have been testing Devin for a long time, early access and all. I'm not impressed by it at all, a decent developer with their LLM of choice does a far better job.

I work for a company that builds apps for companies, most of our apps start as "a simple crud app" and turn into massively complex projects. I feel as if the business community overestimates the ability of AI code generation. It'll get better and better, but I don't see it getting good enough not to have a developer cleaning up its mess behind the scenes.

I still use vim, has all the features "modern ides" use. It just isn't a gui.
