- grim_ioEvery deportation comes with a complementary surplus Nvidia B200.
- It only gets better daily at stuff it already kinda could do.
It can write my code a bit less shitty tomorrow, but that doesn't sound like the fulfillment of the promises given.
Tomorrow, another company will yet again fail to integrate agentic workflows.
- Inference is probably okay priced, at least at API prices.
The salaries, training and especially data center build out might be a little crazy right now.
- And yet, you completely ignore the possibility that someone could value portability, lightness or even looks of the device far above any points you hold very dear.
I get it, all that you say I would agree on regarding my stationary hardware.
On the go, I have very different demands. And the hardware sellers are not stupid, they know what sells.
- I'm still good at what I do, so I'm looking forward to better models to help me atrophy and shrivel my remaining skills :)
- Nah, they will fine-tune a local LLM to replace the board and be always loyal to the CEO.
Elon is way ahead, he did it with mere meatbags.
- I don't think anyone is concerned what anyone deserves in terms of hardware.
Different companies "impose" different tradeoffs upon us. Pick what you like, but expect to pay a premium for a less popular choice.
- What are you warning us about?
I found the post informative.
- You can call it what ever you like, but to me this is deceptive.
Where is the difference between this and Indian support staff pretending to be in your vicinity by telling you about the local weather? Your version is arguably even worse because it can plausibly fool people more competently.
- Sure, but I don't see a world where keeping X11 alive, in addition to all of this, makes anything better or easier, for anyone in the medium to long term.
- Linux on the desktop only took of because Ubuntu, with mixed results and a lot of controversy, decided to standardize and polish the experience for "normies".
The distribution sprawl I largely see as a detriment to the ecosystem.
- I disagree. The choices in the Linux ecosystem lead to unnecessary fragmentation and development/packaging nightmares.
I say let X11 die, bury it, and never let it rise again.
Then we can all focus on making just one display server as good as possible.
- The average user only cares what they can run on the desktop. Linux did not have as much choice back then.
- I'm glad there has been a break in endless bikeshedding over TDD, OOP, ORM(partially) and similar.
- That's just a bonus.
- Accessibility is a feature, and I don't make feature decisions.
There was no accessibility Jira ticket, sorry.
- Maybe LLMs can't fix all of the human deficiencies in the past.
- Trial and error is not how apprenticeship works, for example.
As an apprentice, you get correct and precise enough instructions and you learn from the masters perfection point downwards.
Maybe we have reached a point where we can be the machine's apprentices in some ways.
- This seems like a good way to measure LLM improvement.
It matches the my personal feeling when using progressively better models over time.
- Shrug and buy the next best thing?
