You're thinking in past terms, not accounting for future change.

Opus 6 or Opus 7 probably would be fine with working on an LLM generated codebase.

You're thinking too much like an engineer who reads code all day.

What's actually happening is a 13 year old downloading Pokemon.rom.exe and clicking on it.

You don’t need a PhD to know about paramagnetism lol.

That sentence stood out to me, and I’m a dev.

I used OpenAI Dots running GPT-6 Astra on the Ultra reasoning mode, as an agent swarm with 6 subagents, to create a new mathematical proof. The proof comes with Lean verification.

Caveat: this is not peer reviewed yet, so consider it speculative. Still, not bad for a weekend of playing with agent orchestration.

I am in touch with a few mathematicians from the Covering Repository, who have confirmed that the result is novel, and am working on getting the proof human reviewed.

You are the comment in this thread of BS speculation that is closest to nailing the truth.

Director of NASA Ames 1969-1977

Director of the NRO 1977-1979

Deputy Director of NASA 1981-1984

I’ll let you take that piece of information and decide if NASA leadership knew about the NRO or not when Hubble launched in 1985.

It’s easier to draw the connection than that.

Hans Mark

Director of NASA Ames 1969-1977

Director of the NRO 1977-1979

Deputy Director of NASA 1981-1984

There’s plenty of other examples, Hans Mark is the most obvious highest up one. “Leadership at NASA doesn’t know about the NRO” is a hilarious concept to me. Did they forget they own jobs?

Plenty of other similar examples.

How is NASA leadership not supposed to know about the NRO when they worked for the NRO?

Meh. I think you underestimate the psychological difference between Putin level "I can kill you if you step out of line by pushing you out a window" vs ancient king level of "I can kill you at will because I am a god".

Probably because modern libraries dropped support for ancient insecure SSL. Backwards compatibility is really not a valued thing for that area.

You would lose caching (if they cache)

AWS Gemini-20 below $100

Or a precision one for $$$

All the other sub-$100 ones are mostly junk, with a few decent ones. But just get the Gemini-20
