  1. Truthfully I find sonnet-4.5 better at Rust code than Codex (medium/high). Haven't tried anything else (like react/typescript) since I only use AI for issues/problems I don't understand.
  2. Because that's the definition that is leading to all these investments, the promise that very soon they will reach it. If Altman said plainly that LLMs will never reach that stage, there would be a lot less investment into the industry.
  3. vibe engineering, spending so much time writing documentation for the prompt, just to spend more time debugging the slop you get.

    Ill stick with writing code and just use AI for snippets/stackoverflow replacement.

  4. Yea so basically just a better search engine. Not what the VC were promised though
  5. Old web died when youtube reviews became more profitable.

    It’s sad because I miss printed content like tech magazines.

  6. So can many other dangerous and environmentally exploited industries. Doesn’t mean it’s a good thing
  7. Nah it’s also environmentally, mining is bad. And if there is an alternative with no mining, people will opt for that.
  8. Insurance company argument is always nonsense. They cannot use DNA. And if they could use DNA in the future, you would need to get your DNA sampled for the policy.
  9. For the same reason you bought the service in the first place? They update their service with new features and update their estimates
  10. Insurance companies cannot use it. And if insurance companies in the future would be allowed to use it, they would require you to get DNA samples for your policy.

    So it’s pointless in the end

  11. And that’s where I end up wasting more time investigating and fixing issues, rather than creating a solution ;)

    I only use AI for small problems rather than let it orchestrate entire files.

  12. You also don’t get the satisfaction of watching something grow. Teaching and being a mentor is entirely separate to massaging a prompt
  13. LLMs will not be doing that. I wish they could, but they just spit out whatever without verifying anything. Even in Cursor which has the agent tell you to run the test script they generated to verify the output, it just says “yep seems fine to me!”.

    AI at the current state in my workflow is a decent search engine and stackoverflow. But it has far greater pitfalls as OP pointed out (it just assumes the code is always 100% accurate and will “fake” API).

  14. It’s also the worst era to play natively. Bad textures and horrible frames per second.
  15. AI crash is gonna lead to decade long winter
  16. Pretty sure it’s mostly for tax dodging than money laundering. Less risky too
  17. Well you can and in fact they have narrowed down the language to a haplogroup even. R1b in the case of greek for example
  18. Target audience is very niche
  19. Why then does it have a hard time being a judge for MTG rule interactions?
  20. Oh there is more to humanity than that. For example the history of europe with even yamnaya, corded-ware, EHG, ANF all looked different with different heights, skin tones, skull shapes, cultures, etc as well.

    And this is from around 3000 BC. Modern european as you know it (admixture wise) would likely be fully formed at around 400 BC

  21. Widowmaker lives on.
  22. 3G is prime infrastructure, it has huge range and like the article states could be used for emergency calls.

    Capitalism ho!

  23. in a windows PC context any game has the capability to run arbitrary code. You don’t need an AC to do any malicious damage.
  24. Y-DNA clades can and are associated with certain ethnic groups. Then once you confirm that, you simply need to model their autosomal DNA. And viola, you can very reliably determine if someone is Jewish, Greek, Italian, etc
  25. Nah the new wave of ancient DNA analysis since 2010 has been a game changer. Especially with euroasian history. It showed us how populations migrated and how and when admixture formed. Including identifying the yamnaya admixture in modern populations

    If they actually have Columbus’s DNA intact with a good SNP resolution, it will be trivial to find out what % of jewish he is in his autosomal DNA. They can and should release it publicly as part of their paper as well. So people can confirm their hypothesis

  26. Open plan offices remind me of factories, they want to return back to the good ol days.
  27. he spent so much time at work they became family!
  28. reminds me, I would’ve rather seen VCs fund more genetic engineering startups. Imagine the good it could do, from stem cells to nanobots to “hacking” human DNA itself. But I know the business model there can’t compete with software. So it will never reach the funding it needs.
