Even with examples it's still not convincing. I'm working on real products so I don't have time to waste comparing models that won't be relevant next month.

Maybe it depends on the task, but the biggest productivity gains are from boiler plate generation, and there it's as easy as "generate me the boiler plate". Even if you can learn some very specific workflows today they would be model dependent and mostly obsolete within a month or two.

I work with AI everyday, despite what many people suggest there is so little to learn. After a couple of hours you are good to go. You don't even need gstack.

Sure, but for many folks the distraction is irresistible. It was difficult already to put care and craft into a product, having a slot machine for your attention makes it damn impossible.

In the old days, producing all those things would be tremendous learning opportunity. Today it's a pure waste, not producing income is not a problem, not producing anything is.

AI make easy work even easier, at the same time it shortens the attention span making it more difficult to do any difficult work. That's why there is so little real progress despite huge productivity gains.

Any idea what makes for such a diff between your and theirs numbers? Batching? Or could they do a crazy prefix caching across all nodes to reduce the actual processing.

You can argue that any UI is like a game engine in that sense. Some make sensible choices and don't need to pretend they have to render at 60fps.

I thought you needed 100k lines of code for a C compiler. https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler

I need someone to explain me how is this supposed to work. I recently watched Sam Altman saying that model inference will get 10x cheaper in a year. I listened to Dario today and he says Anthropic revenue will increase 10x this year. If both of these are true, that means the usage will go up 100x. Considering fierce competition from China, the fact that smarter models will require less tokens to solve the same problems, and the fact that everyone that I know already tries to swarm their programming problems wasting gazillion of tokens I don't really see how all of this can be true at the same time.

Highly recommend 'Proving Ground' book, it's fiction but talks exactly about this.

Seems they have already removed

Is vibe coding something that requires 10000 hours to master? Should I start immediately or is writing code by hand fine for now.
