the real paradox of life is that everything is meaningless and yet some things are more meaningful than others

@rfleury @Wassimulator @typesfast reinforcement learning means learning from experience, the whole point is that it needs no preexisting dataset; otherwise you’re correct

Ryan Fleury@rfleury·
Modern “AI” is prediction using a statistical model based on a huge dataset of preexisting human work. This, by definition, considers ~mean quality output as successful output. That isn’t a bad thing, nor is it useless, but that’s what it is. Software has sucked for a long time. A small number of people really cared to make it great. They are statistical outliers.

With all these AI coding improvements why isn't the software I use everyday getting better?

Vibecoding is when you let LLMs generate code and you accept it as long as the end result appears to be working. You don't even review the code, you don't care. When you rigorously ensure that generated code is up to a standard, it's not vibecoding anymore. It's programming.

@ZPostFacto don’t forget that a paint brush in the hands of Picasso produces art, but in my hands it produces mediocrity.

I'm sorry, but if you think AI coding tools are nothing but a bunch of slop generators, you are *massively* out of touch.

Claude just casually noscope head-shotting a dangling pointer bug, based on nothing more than the debug output of a failed test run.

Backprop strongly shapes the GPU hardware AI runs on today. Learning algorithms without backprop open new opportunities for neuromorphic silicon, biologically grounded models, and heterogeneous compute. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2605.21568 Blog: zyphra.com/post/equilibri…

@X1H1_ Marx predicted the transition to socialism would first require capitalism to reach its highest point. Have you not read Marx?

@DecafFour86 @Seanfrank @BuildBoost I’m a dumbass contrarian, but I think the distinction really matters as buying someone a single machine for 5% of their future earning potential won’t do much for mass production, aside from getting an MVP. It’s why Americans dominate design, but can’t ever scale their inventions

@timofejii @Seanfrank @BuildBoost I think you’re splitting hairs; when people say “CNC” they are almost always referring to the CNC machines themselves. We agree otherwise though, this is just semantics

@zanehengsperger I will invest. I’ll angel invest $125,000 this year directly into new, small, US based manufacturing companies. Five $25,000 checks. 500k valuation. Just get started.

@DecafFour86 @Seanfrank @BuildBoost yes. cnc is the software; you still need the machines, the warehouse, and the logistics to ship your product at scale. Design is integral to manufacturing, but it is step 1 of 100

@puppycelebrity the idea of art grants is one of capital control over who gets to create & access culture. Mixtape is entrenching the status quo by leaning aesthetically on commodity fetishism, but revolutionary art/indie devs are overlooked. Nepotism will starve the world of meaning

@Seanfrank @BuildBoost a cnc is for prototyping and design… “manufacturing” implies scale; you not seeing the difference is probably why ridge wallets are manufactured in Shenzen lmfao

@gfodor right! that’s cause abstraction IS necessary… you can type out raw bytes like they did in the punchcard days, or you can write ~200 lines of python and create the next chatGPT. Abstraction is a measurable performance metric that vibecoders/wordcels consistently underperform on

@timofejii the smallest possible abstraction is another way of saying they like climbing up and down the sky high abstraction ladder everyone thinks their abstractions are necessary and minimal

Vibe vs hand coding is a clear divide of rotators vs wordcels. the former offends theorycel aesthetic sensibilities but empirically works to produce absurd miracles. the latter is an insane series of nerd traps and sky high abstraction ladders yet mostly scams

@FinanceDirCFO Sir the machine is learning from experience, as well as data… Maths are prerequisite but wont alone explain the subtleties of neuroscience that underpin the whole field.
