That might be one reason they refuse to be open about their financial supports in their various organizations yes. it is very well known unfortunately..

This does sound very interesting, and my immediate thought on this would be to have 2 or multiple agents in learning, where they continuously set a new bar among all of them. It might be that it will just converge towards them all becoming more similar as they would raise bar by what they know they perform better at than the other. So it might be necessary to find some heuristic to the measurement to avoid that route to be taken.

I like how we have pretty much established how branchless coding is superior to branched coding. However I wonder if the compiler itself could recognize these patterns and turn branches into branchless instead, rather than making the code harder to read? as removing if conditions of course have a readability impact on the code.

Just Claude, I have seen the weird hallucinations these LLM's make, yes that also means opus, fable etc. so I don't trust it to just run its own clause.

Yes that also means I get to inspect and confirm every step of the way, to ensure the design is followed, we are not making unneccesary changes, we have thought about edge cases, testing etc. And I also keep an understanding of what is produced, because I will manually copy it in, I will manually read through it. I will do secondary review of it myself in PR's whatever.

But I guess a lot of people just don't and just blow claude code through the roof on ad libitum infinity loop?

On subscription, I just checked, I have the Pro Plan, which for Claude I believe is the equal of the normal one?

I am using perhaps 15% of usage count on Claude with just the normal subscription. And I do full time software engineering and would say I use quite a lot of AI input on thoughts, designs and code drafts.

So how these companies and people manage to use these absurd amount of tokens is a mystery to me. It feels like this are just running huge amount of non-vetted data to the LLM's and or running loops against the LLM's which only produce fractional results if not wasted results for insane cost.

So really it is the equivalent of just burning money, or heating your house in the winter while having all your windows open.

I think the interesting thing that made a small "aha" for me reading this was that: This is a direct parallel to an application on your PC or any other program you would install. 1. They do Client Side Rendering(CSR) 2. they have client side database 3. they sync asynchronous to to the server (or atleast some do, and other have direct manual action for it)

However this also brings back to the point of why would we expensive html page compared to a small app? (The question is obvious that it is portability and also the accessability of just accessing a link). - And this here we could start to think about instead of continuing to rely on HTML, JS and CSS, alternatives could be invented, that be much more efficient and powerful.

I would say a fair compensation for the original work is fair, until certain threshold, after which they must invent new thing rather than continued benefit of an existing. Say once they earned 400% of valuation or cost of invention or similar. there could be a system in place. But of course the people to regulate this has a natural bias, as they themselves would be hurt by it, most likely. So the vast majority, ie. the public is at an disadvantage, greed wins again.
