Looking at the history of technology, it's a question of when do we get there.

With those speeds I can benchmark a batch of different approaches, compare the results and serve the results all within a second. It's quite amazing.

Speed will be one of the killer features once you get closer to instant speeds of 300ms. Just remember what changes were made possible simply by upgrading from ADSL to broadband.

If inference speed goes up, I can launch the same query 5 times, evaluate the best result and proceed from there. Of course, evaluation is also instant, so in seconds I can get a near perfect solution. Or maybe 10 and I can pick what I like the best.

Github already does this, there's an agents tab.

Maybe I should pick it up again, limited tools are great :) That's why I also love my small Volca collection.

They could just go a bit more honest and migrate to "Code is pasta". WP is also closer to a pizza slice than Michelin star fine dining experience.

It's safe to assume to buy them a player device too with the CD :)

I can't describe that mystery feeling when getting bunch of random cassette tapes from my cousins with a giant catalog of programs on them, some demos, some games, some wild stuff and just casually browsing them. All I had was a title if I was lucky. Then the fun stuff of calibrating the tape head :) Great memories.

Ah, that's a good spot.

I like pushing my fingers at those sharp edges and then feel the short lasting indent with my other finger. We are not the same :)

It can also make you waste a lot of time and not do anything productive with your day which is worse than shooting blanks.

It's almost as if context matters for random numbers. A 98% success rate for a parachute is criminal, but if I could achieve 98% of my goals, I couldn't be happier.

This is a good batteries included form framework spec, but not a new paradigm. A new paradigm would be something like not filling forms at all and just process user input via an LLM. Or using voice input in a controlled way. Maybe an adaptive single input field that always knows what you need type.

What if everybody on the internet starts running "fix this code"?

I really like to prompt music models with random gibberish with some unhinged prompts and expect some other world-y results.

It's quite ironic as the transformer architecture that powers most generative AI was invented for language translation :)
