seems like Russia has achieved the paradoxical form of government where it is both a perfect direct democracy and a fascist dictatorship

> inherently pointless

there is no shortage of so-called studies about LLMs that inexplicably use comically old and bad models like gpt-4o to reach a strong conclusion about the ineffectiveness of LLMs in general

one cannot help to suspect that this specific kind of academic malpractice does in fact have a point which is to undermine the technology as a whole out of fear, to keep the academic "consensus" in favor of tenured academics

and yet the bitter lesson keeps on getting bitter

Please note that I did not imply devs won't exist in my contrived fantasy.

Who do you think will be operating those mythological tools?:)

someday we will have models that can resolve physics to such degree to predict the future with surgical accuracy and when someone says "maybe models will become advanced enough to create a whole other universe from scratch" you will be there saying "highly doubt it"

You have an US-centric (an really naive) view of the judicial systems of the world. In many countries the judges have to follow the exact letter of the law. In others, this "spirit of the law" excuse makes way for enabling systemic corruption.

The reason is self evident: central planning regulatory hell is incompatible with inovation.

You are incredibly naive. There is one on every street, they are just called "sports bars" instead of casinos.

You're probably talking about the big Vegas style entire-hotel casino that aren't so popular in Europe anyway outside a niche crowd. The average lower class Spanish person frequents these "sports bars" heavily

> the EU currently has the most user-friendly laws when it comes to data protection

This is laughable. The EU has the most big-tech regulatory capture friendly data laws that make it really hard for small companies to compete, nicely packaged under consumer protection pretenses.

Those same laws give the institutions of the state complete and total right to silently wiretap the digital existence of anyone, at any time, for any reason.

This is one of the best parts of agentic development. I almost never had to reach for any npm package besides the foundational staples like the tailwinds and react queries. My pacakge.json dependency array vs project size ratio is just incredible nowadays

>pedophilic fascist speed freaks

the LLMs have a wider vocabulary, argument range and worldview nuance than whatever the dogma of the month or whatever the fuck this is

the sudden left turn into political bullshit really left a sour taste

and it's mostly just the same walled garden rant we've all heard and even made a variant ourselves

is this the type of content we have devolved into on here? I'd take endless ai slop over endless random cringe political posturing any day

efficiency per token has tanked but it's still faster. given this is the first generation for Cerberas hardware this is the worst it's ever going to be.

when it reaches the main 5.3 codex efficiency at this token rate this kind of articles will seem silly in retrospect
