How does this make the case for humans forever exceeding LLMs in planning and architecture?
Comment · 2 minutes ago
Talking about current LLMs while trying to assert future impossibility, and not mentioning an actual architectural problem, is giving a hint of not seeing past your own nose tbh

The estimate for six French EPR2s rose from €51.7 billion to €67.4 billion between 2022 and 2023. EDF’s later estimate is €72.8 billion, about 41% above the 2022 figure, before the reactors have been built.

I’d bet you the cost will be $140B when it’s all said and done, but this website won’t be around in 2044 (assuming no delays, good luck with that). You can bet regulations won’t stop changing over the span of decades either.

I’d rather have 70GW of solar and batteries deployed in a few years, and replace them with even cheaper ones in a number of decades.

What exactly is the architectural problem that has you convinced LLMs cannot learn how to strategize and architect well after enough RL?

Eh, this is why networks ossify and we can’t have nice things like a maintained connection when switching from home wifi to 5G. MPTCP is important, eg Siri uses it I believe?

If you’re on Ubuntu you can upgrade by pulling the -43 version from the -proposed repo. Crazy they still havent shipped it to -stable.

Nuclear costs $16B/GW. Solar $1B/GW nominal. Batteries $1B for 1GW/4GWh. Figure out how much solar overcapacity and batteries you can get, within a year or two, for the price of a nuclear reactor deployable 10-20 years from now.

Have we seen a single deployment?

Well actually given the free fall in prices of renewables and batteries, not really. Nuclear costs $16B/GW. Solar $1B/GW nominal. Batteries $1B for 1GW/4GWh.

Rise of local models? what rise? I run qwen3.8 flash next on my 200GB/s 128gb Strix Halo and even that is barely acceptable, big models require so much more. Nobody's running a local model on their power sipping phone. It's just a nerd's wet dream.

Even the worst ev driven off coal nets out to less emissions in its lifetime than gas cars. this has been known and well studied for like a decade. Keep up!

Also their LFP batteries are extremely simple and recyclable forever.

Yea unfortunately eg Ubuntu’s bashrc has a script which will make it drop colors regardless of the presence of ghostty’s terminfo. Its `screen` will also fail, so e.g. it will refuse to upgrade to a new distro release.

Lots of jank due to this custom terminfo.
