Not sure if it's just the promotion of the far-right parties.

For me at the latest after his "Heil Hitler" salute I'd be completely ashamed driving that car.

Might be interesting to see the exact daily timeline of the sales, if it collapsed after the 20th january.

Hmm now I feel bad for not shorting it, after having thought about it initially...

Did she?

Did you know that Elon is a Nazi like 10 years ago?

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

Lol, says the guy who's currently at the top of corrupting world-politics...

*Life in MURICA...

As you're being unkind all the time, let me be unkind as well :)

A calculator also isn’t much help, if the person operating it fucks up. Maybe the problem in your scenario isn’t the AI.

If you can effectively use AI for your problems, maybe they're too repetitive, and actually just dumb boilerplate.

I rather like to solve problems that require actual intelligence (e.g. do research, solve math problems, think about software architecture, solve problems efficiently), and don't even want to deal with problems that require me to write a lot of repetitive code, which AI may be (and often is not) of help with.

I have yet to see efficient generated Rust code that autovectorizes well, without a lot of allocs etc. I always get triggered by the insanely bad code-quality of the AI that just doesn't even really understand what allocations are... Arghh I could go on...

Yes, I know, I tried all kinds of inputs, ways to query it, including full code-bases etc. Long story short: I'm faster just not caring about AI (at the moment). As I said somewhere else here, I have a theoretical background in this area. Though speaking of, I think I really need to try out training or refining a DeepSeek model with our code-bases, whether it helps to be a good alternative to something like the dumb Github Copilot (which I've also disabled, because it produces a looot of garbage that I don't want to waste my attention with...) Maybe it's now finally possible to use at least for completion when it knows details about the whole code-base (not just snapshots such as Github CoPilot).

You're just trolling aren't you? Have you used AI for a longer time while coding and then tried without for some time? I currently don't miss it... Keep in mind that you still have to check whether all the code is correct etc. writing code isn't the thing that usually takes that much time for me... It's debugging, and finding architecturally sound and good solutions for the problem. And AI is definitely not good at that (even if you're not that experienced).

Almost every european state has the far-right cancer (to varying degree, but nowadays unfortunately often 2 percent digits), which AFAICS are pro-Trump. I don't think it's any different in Greenland...

The only positive thing about Trump really is, that he's old, and with his lifestyle may not live that long anymore.

But even then, the damage he's already done, and does in the future may prove to be permanent for the foreseeable future...

Yes, I know, I'm also not from the USA from a "neutral" state (Austria)...

Actually, especially if you're European, even the democrats are more right-leaning, i.e. comparable with the conservative parties here.

No one is actually politically neutral...

I think at this point in the USA it's very clear:

If you're "politically neutral", you're Republican.

I (and very many others) may not agree with the democrats, but since we only got two parties there, it's damage-control. And any sane person (that would like to have a non-dystopian future) votes against Trump...

So unreliable boilerplate generator, you need to debug?

Right I've seen that it's somewhat nice to quickly generate bash scripts etc.

It can certainly generate quick'n dirty scripts as a starter. But code quality is often supbar (and often incorrect), which triggers my perfectionism to make it better, at which point I should've written it myself...

But I agree that it can often serve well for exploration, and sometimes you learn new stuff (if you weren't expert in it at least, and you should always validate whether it's correct).

But actual programming in e.g. Rust is a catastrophe with LLMs (more common languages like js work better though).

Have you actually read my text wall?

Even o1 (which AFAIK is roughly on par with R1-671B) wasn't really helpful for me. I just need often (actually all the time) correct answers to complex problems and LLMs aren't just capable to deliver this.

I still need to try it out whether it's possible to train it on my/our codebase, such that it's at least possible to use as something like Github copilot (which I also don't use, because it just isn't reliable enough, and too often generates bugs). Also I'm a fast typer, until the answer is there and I need to parse/read/understand the code, I already have written a better version.

DeepSeek

Yeah it'll be exciting to see where this goes, i.e. if it really develops into a useful tool, for certain. Though I'm slightly cautious non-the less. It's not doing something significantly different (i.e. it's still an LLM), it's just a lot cheaper/efficient to train, and open for everyone (which is great).

What should I expect? (I don't do powershell, nor do I have a need for it)

confidently so in the face of overwhelming evidence

That I'd really like to see. And I mean more than the marketing bullshit that AI companies are doing...

For the record I was one of the first jumping on the AI hype-train (as programmer, and computer-scientist with machine-learning background), following the development of GPT1-4, being excited about having to do less boilerplaty code etc. getting help about rough ideas etc. GPT4 was almost so far as being a help (similar with o1 etc. or Anthropics models). Though I seldom use AI currently (and I'm observing similar with other colleagues and people I know of) because it actually slows me down with my stuff or gives wrong ideas, having to argue, just to see it yet again saturating at a local-minimum (aka it doesn't get better, no matter what input I try). Just so that I have to do it myself... (which I should've done in the first place...).

Same is true for the image-generative side (i.e. first with GANs now with diffusion-based models).

I can get into more details about transformer/attention-based-models and its current plateau phase (i.e. more hardware doesn't actually make things significantly better, it gets exponentially more expensive to make things slightly better) if you really want...

I hope that we do a breakthrough of course, that a model actually really learns reasoning, but I fear that that will take time, and it might even mean that we need different type of hardware.

I get the tech, and still agree with the preposter. I'd even go so far as that it probably worsens a lot currently, as it's generating a lot of bullshit that sounds great on the surface, but in reality is just regurgitated stuff that the AI has no clue of. For example I'm tired of reading AI generated text, when a hand written version would be much more precise and has some character at least...

There are plenty of useful opensource applications, as evidenced by this thread.

Yes and now please count the amount of useful applications that aren't open source. Spoiler: They dwarf open source applications by quantity and quality by far.

How you make a living isn’t really relevant.

I'm repeating myself: I'm doing a lot of open source in my leisure time, this is absolutely relevant, I would be able to invest a lot more time into it if I didn't have to make a living somehow else. I directly see this with other people that were funded and aren't anymore, so they have to use their time to make money... (and the other way around)

My point is, implying that one should be surprised to find that an app is both useful and opensource is a misconception.

My point is, that time is in fact limited...

Yeah they're paid but not for open source, but from a company. I'm no exception, as I do a lot of open source, I would go full-time open-source if I'd knew that I can live from it. But this is just not the case for say ~99% of open source, donations/funding is extremely rare and often bound to specific needs of the company that funds it.

And my answer was exactly pointing towards this, i.e. free software/open source, not software in general.

What you also have to consider is apps vs libraries, libraries are more often funded, but apps often not (and this was what we were talking about).
