rust is a better language in every way for LLMs: more precise typing, better compiler errors, fewer performance footguns, no race conditions, clear interface definitions and implementations

golang is easier for humans to quickly get productive, but the language is lacking in helpful features for an LLM

that helps us to understand how much of Mythos is hype and how much is real

webrtc is a bad protocol, without a doubt. I do like websockets as an easy alternative, but you do need to reinvent decent portions of webrtc as a result

I like the idea of MoQ but it's not widely used. probably worth experimenting with, especially as video enters the chat

> and then a GPU pretends to talk to you via text-to-speech

OpenAI is speech-to-speech, there is no TTS in voice mode

> It takes a minimum of 8* round trips (RTT) to establish a WebRTC connection

signalling can be done long ahead of time, though I don't see this mentioned in the OpenAI blog. I also saw some new webrtc extensions that should reduce setup time further

ultimately though, it comes down to

> It’s not like LLMs are particularly responsive anyway

I expect to see a shift in how S2S models work to be lower latency like the new voice API models that OpenAI announced

to be fair, the new models were released the day after this MoQ blog was published

court precedent is a useful tool of advocacy

it is wrong to advocate for everyone to be treated equally unjustly. better to advocate for the removal of the bad laws/structures

even still, China has westernized a lot over the last 20 years, both in quality of life and in social values

regardless of values, offshoring valuable skills is a way to bring about more equality, but not a way to ensure American dominance

I don't know that American dominance is a good thing

both are a limited subset of what the companies offer, available for free

and you can't make full use of Google without an account. for example, you need an account to upload to YouTube, manage your website in search, place ads, opt out of data usage. the list goes on

as with all art, the hardest part is discovery

artificial scarcity is indistinguishable from greed

it's no secret that being an artist is a tough path with little chance of success

this is not clear to me, and is not discussed in the article

you can like or dislike the name. but criticizing the quality of work based on your affinity for the name is foolishness

the state of the art of software engineering is to use AI. it's just reality

I view it as a type of charity. I know not everybody can afford to use their time without compensation. that's ok!

but I will personally never charge, and I oppose this commercial mindset

Q1 is things that are both important and urgent

it's a system popularized by Dwight D. Eisenhower
