we all know it's lip service anyway

3.8 flash is pretty good. it's not expensive, works great for reasoning tasks and it's fast.

for coding .. it works ok but i prefer the openai or anthropic models, much better results.

what ! according to pages longs of ads if I don't donate all my money to Jimmy Wales Wikipedia dies!

what's funny of that the llm learns from Wikipedia and then is used to put data back in Wikipedia. can't imagine that going well lol

imo that besides the point. can models be made to issue unsafe code, advice, etc depending on the context of where they run and who runs it? yes.

is it hard to prove? yes.

then, which model does it, or if any does it now.. doesn't matter. what matters is that some inevitably will, and which models you pick will matter.

western "mass" schooling started in 789, over a thousand years ago, not "thousands".

actual decline started last century (that's for a hundred).

Older people aren't actually "boomers with everything handed to them", it's just you in 30y - more experience, more depth, and slight drop in cognitivity.

for computer science, I find it interesting that almost every Gen z can use and talk about concepts but does not understand how a computer works (be it transistors, kernel, or memory allocation for example).

With AI we all know this will get worse, and it already does. it's not just the prompting - AIs can and will return information with the upmost confidence, even if wrong. A lot of critical thinking is needed, which cannot be found by re-querying or using a search engine (that does the same thing) - information isn't cognitivity.

I find that the rare of smart vs dumb people in companies, even tech companies is also pretty scary nowadays. it wasnt perfect in the late 80-90 but execs usually could do the work of everyone, and also manage the workforce. nowadays most execs are placed and don't know of care how their products work, unless it's a startup.

the reason it's interesting is that the lack of understanding and skill results in a "bourgeoisie" class in the workforce, and that isn't correlated to skill, amounts of labor or even cognitivity.

This tends to reduce the utilization of 'overwhelmingly' smart people, who are put to crappy tasks just to make money and ends meet.

yet there's hundred if videos on yt of people shooting their cybertruck and it is indeed bullet proof vs 9mm.

the hate trains folks get on boarded onto just blind them from simple truth. yeah I'm pretty sure the road does indeed fly for short distances. yes it's totally impractical. and yet it does. and it's also quite the feat. doesn't mean one should buy it, but the blindness coming from manufactured hate is really ridiculous.

I mean its also been generated by a bunch of PM that want to get promoted but have little idea of what they're talking about..however nobody has been fired YET for using too much vague AI words.

or, they've had 4 for a long time (which they did). AFAIK they have had 5 for a while now too.

I'm not quite sure what their strategy is, because it looks like the models released just have tweaks on the same original training data, but nothing more. Basically, they decide not to release them and it doesn't seem to be a much different when they finally to decide to release.

so you're saying I should use my smtp filters on my website? (to be fair that seems like a good idea)

pff more than 6 digits!

rocket electrician, ... obviously they mean the one that comes and fix your house or breaker panel.

look my brother is an electrician. I do this work too, but for a different reason: in my area they make as much or more than mid level software engineers, so when it's about adding a breaker box they want 8k and if it's not absolutely perfectly easy they might still drop the job. enough of them do and eventually you do it yourself.

obviously, it's quite different for the ones that gotta go daily for a lot less pay, like my brother, and while it doesn't tax your mind as much as tech companies, you do have a tax on the body. plus, they always do quite a bit more than just the electrical wor

the only mistake was politics.

I take them regularly in SF, twice cheaper than lyft, 4x cheaper than waymo and works fine... it's literally the cheapest other than zoox (free if on tester list, which I am), but it's as fast as Lyft/Uber.
