@a_musingcat AI is supposed to cause deflation btw

it’s crazy how you can zoom out and see the transformational impact of AI

@thdxr of course, "talk to a db" was here in 2023

wow i never have to use a metrics ui ever again

@pt___ @DudeWhoInvests Robots do farming -> food becomes cheaper Robots do construction-> houses become cheaper Self driving cars -> transportation becomes cheaper I want robots to do all these things too, so that we don't need money to get all these basic things

@DudeWhoInvests When the world goes robotic, we'll find out how many professions are actually needed. Farming, engineering & construction, transport - yes. Most other jobs....mmm, not really.

@DavidKPiano A state machine is fundamentally a directed graph with some extra structure

Learn state machines and the actor model. Thank me later.

@strimblez I wrote a loop and used claude opus 4.8, worked great

I’m getting married in a week should I use chatgpt work or codex to write my vows

@steipete I'm still talking loops because my graph is a DAG, so I topologically sort it out to get a loop

Are we still talking loops or did we shift to graphs yet?

@shahriarr_here @13_narcissus AI agents can handle distribution too, if not now, very soon.

@13_narcissus learn distribution. it’s the only thing that matters. building a product isn’t a big deal

"Learn to code" was the advice of the 2010s. What's the equivalent advice for the 2030s?

@13_narcissus @testudoapp Are they not?

@testudoapp yes, judgement and taste are not an AI thing

@avrldotdev Is it not just a map of command -> [role_1, ..., role_n]? His answer wasn't really bad. You can keep asking about certain commands but that just tells you how many commands he has memorized and not really whether he can think critically.

I rejected a fresher candidate coz he couldn't answer this question: I asked him: We're building an agent harness which has access to a Linux box where it'll run & execute commands. How'll you make sure the agent doesn't wipe out the system? He just answered: Whitelist only certain commands like git, grep, find, sed, mv, etc. What will you answer in his place to not get rejected?

@ChShersh that has always been the case for me

I’m overqualified for what I do but underqualified for what I want to do

@qyromat0 Every day, YouTube uploads amount to roughly 765 billion multimodal tokens.

15 trillion tokens. that's roughly the entire public internet. every frontier model on earth was trained on the same pool - books, code, reddit, wikipedia, papers. ilya sutskever said it plainly. "the data is very clearly finite." the fix? synthetic data - models training on other models' outputs. a snake eating its own tail. the scaling era bet the ocean was bottomless. ilya explains why it has a floor.

@ben_sage You can work on it while having sex. It was hard though when I tried it.

How long after sex is it appropriate to start working on your app?

@beknabdik cant cut your hair yet

Hold my tokens

@2nd_zoeyy something human

I need to know who here is still an actual human. Say something human.

@AskYoshik @sp4rtan300 information gain = 0

@sp4rtan300 there are tons of resources, courses, good articles to read about system design

please i'm begging you to learn linux, networking and system design. i don't want another vibe coded application that is hosted on vercel with 5 users. please.

@LinkedInLunat1c These people are the worst. Just let the guy take his 1 hr lunch break however he wants.

I feel like this belongs here

@sama @TheAhmadOsman An ultra fast model even if it's not very intelligent, and accessible with chatgpt subscription is what I need. I hate waiting for a minute (or having to juggle between coding agents running in parallel).

@TheAhmadOsman thanks! why? how can we improve?

I like 5.6 Sol more than Fable 5 btw.

The value that engineers bring now is controlling the chaos and direction while working with coding agents.

@solquicks I've actually sat multiple times like this. I try not to sit like this in public.

what normal human being sits like this?
