The data to be open, in my case.

The "independent" METR that is composed by... Checks notes... Previously employees from the top labs.

And any exponential growth is also a multiplication, it's not a big deal, just giving example on what they asked before.

Somehow people are interpreting this as some kind of math trick.

It's not a trick, our brains are not wire to deal with numbers growing quickly, but we do understand the math.

Of course it is logical, we are not discussing the math.

But it isn't intuitive, you're not used to numbers that big or that grow that fast.

Few things go from a million to a billion, especially when related to time.

One million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is 31 years.

You need to catchup with the last 15 years then. It's not new at all. But I agree it is getting worse, but it is getting worse every year for a while.

Recent?

Oh dear.

If you really wanna worry about all of these things you better not use any open source from now on. Or even private software as well, because you can't even audit and know what "vibe code" touched.

So if they paid for pre-training they would not be able to open their weights?

Mostly: Discord, Github issues (as forum), X (twitter at the time), and Discourse! Discourse was growing steadily, even startups like OpenAI and neobanks like nubank (Brazil) had forums for their users because keeping your community active and close was something considered valuable (devrel since then has experienced a rapidly decline).

We were this close to glory... This close!

But we got a generic 3D doll instead of forum-like signatures.

Just imagine something like this: https://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r488/Vayne-D3/HybridSig...

The sale is relevant. The spike in activity right before the sale already shows the management hand and how they actively ran the org to optimize for this sale. The rebound right after is hard, and it was (right) before chatgpt

They accelerated the downfall with this and then chatgpt came over

I don't have the time to, but I'm surprised there aren't a lot of comments on the decline before chatGPT was released, but after SO was sold to Prosus [1][2]

Even the curious growth spike in activity happened just before the acquisition. I wish I had time to do this analysis a bit deeper, but you can look for SO activity up until when chatGPT was released, it is really noticeable.

I was wondering why my local tool to inspect coding agent sessions stopped working in some cases.

This is a really interesting engineering decision, I wonder how many people will want an encrypted external piece of instructions running on their machine.

I am committed to some projects now, but I did a full analysis of projects to invest, used AI to validate ideas and so on.

My main goal was "solo founder projects as programmer" and one of them was software for veterinarians (second one was for golf tracks).

It is an interesting niche!
