yes

I work in one of sp5 and I use chinese models :-D

> LLMs are excellent at both reviewing code to understand what's going on ...

Have you ever worked on existing code base that has components that makes no sense but must be there?

Fat is inflammatory, especially visceral fat, so reducing that fat naturally reduces inflammation.

I guess robotaxi is failing? This is my only explanation of that jumping gimmick.

Not trying to argue about this particular case but how does a camera footage even work in a modern court system? I mean it can be generated nowadays, so how do they even make sure that it is real?

I'm pro-corruption then I guess.

Do police in the US has any unified system for dispatchers to track the history of incidents/resolutions? Just wondering if they could start making notes there for future calls, I guess it would be useful in general but not sure if they have/allowed to have something like that.

Do you rent from AWS or some other provider? I wonder if there are issues with on-demand rent for those high-end GPU instances, is capacity always there or sometimes it is unavailable?

I guess those estimations based on projection for data Center build out, which include 30GW+ in 2027 alone, more then 3 previous years combined. Surely every human on earth will start token-maxing tomorrow and bring all of their money to their AI labs overlords to justify that explosion in spending, right?

> where are all those great things that were created with them?

You will have to wait great amount of time for great things just as you did before.

LLMs are not AGI, if so they are not foundational technology, if so we can't really built upon them - we can just use their wrappers as productivity tool, if so we will be bottleneck by what we were bottlenecked before: corporate bureaucracy, slow physical world innovation pipeline, supply chains, just a small number of actual problem solvers/risk takers around, etc.

There will be of course a lot of attach LLM wrapper and improve productivity here / there underwhelming weak fart products, ex: Meta Muse.

I think "March of 9s" helps to describe this situation. Some devs seems to be happy with just one 9 as it suffice for their use-case while for others one 9 means that they would loose client's data 10% of the time or some other catastrophic consequence.

> But just go ahead and give the latest models (Opus 5.5 / Astra 6 as of today) another try.

I find my self going opposite direction recently. I start using frontier models less and less and smaller models more and more. I recently tried Opus Opus 5 with ultra-code level of effort and I wasted like 2 days on trying to migrate some project to new libs because it spits out a huge wall of text as replies/plans and waste huge amount of time on things I didn't ask it to check and see no point in checking. At the end I just took a smaller model and used it in more controlled fashion playing the role of orchestrator/planner. Smaller models are good enough and also much faster. My collisions from that, frontier models and high reasoning effort levels are for pure vibe-coding when you don't really control or understand what is happening. My application area is not pure SWE though, I didn't churn a lot of code before and I don't now, so I have enough time on understanding/polishing my projects if needed.

> Just restricting foreign competition in the domestic market is not enough ...

Yes, It is not sufficient but I would argue it was necessary. In case of China it allowed them to have a set of domestic copycat companies like Baid, Alibaba and Tencent, that enabled high demand for local engineers to serve their needs and that allowed to have a large pool of competent domestic engineers which now can benefit other emerging sectors too. It keeps surprising how many top contributors to large OSS projects are from China.

> If you can make the employee even just a few percent more efficient, it’s worth it.

Are/were you in a position to make such decisions or it is a guess? I'm not but given certain evidence I doubt that few percent will cut it. I know some of the richest companies on the planet from SF Bay Area who won't give lunch for free to their engineers. So I'm not sure about "few percent" :-D 10x we were promised, now that is more interesting but we all know that 10x engineers is nonsense.
