Well spine scanners exist but they are pretty expensive and way slower

I think this kind of claim really lies in a sour spot.
On the one hand it is trivial to get an IDE, plug it to GLM 4.5 or some other smaller more efficient model, and see how it fares on a project. But that’s just anecdotal. On the other hand, model creators do this thing called benchmaxing where they fine-tune their model to hell and back to respond well to specific benchmarks. And the whole culture around benchmarks is… i don’t know i don’t like the vibe it’s all AGI maximalists wanking to percent changes in performance. Not fun. So, yeah, evidence is hard to come by when there are so many snake oil salesmen around.
On the other hand, it’s pretty easy to check on your own. Install opencode, get 20$ of GLM credit, make it write, deploy and monitor a simple SaaS product, and see how you like it. Then do another one. And do a third one with Claude Code for control if you can get a guest pass (i have some hit me up if you’re interested).
What is certain from casual observation is that yes, small models have improved tremendously in the last year, to the point where they’re starting to get usable. Code generation is a much more constrained world than generalist text gen, and can be tested automatically, so progress is expected to continue at breakneck pace. Large models are still categorically better but this is expected to change rapidly.

I am not aware of what they are selling but every vibe coder i know produces obsessive amounts of documentation. It’s kind of baked into the tool (if you use Claude Code at least), it will just naturally produce a lot of documentation.
- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 2 weeks ago:
There’s a lot of questionable methodology and straight up larping in these communities. Sure you can probably make Opus hallucinate a crystal meth or bomb making recipe if you get it in a roleplaying mood but that’s a far cry from actual prompt injection in live workflows.
Anecdotally i’ve been experimenting on those AI robocallers that have been spamming my phone and even on the shitty models they use it is non trivial to get them to deviate from their script. I hope i can get it done though, as it would allow me to hold them on the line potentially for hours doing bullshit tasks, and costing hundreds to their operator.

haha yeah i don’t worry these people are really YOLOing everything. And it’s not like i’m an AI luddite i spend a few hours each day victimizing Claude code but jesus christ i’m certainly not giving it full unfettered access to my digital life.

It’s like back then when crypto was a thing. People will studiously ignore that data centers are a drop in the ocean of energy consumption compared to the value they produce, and that even futile uses are not that significant in the grand scheme of things.

To be fair this is a much more realistic threat model than “ignore all previous instructions” style prompt injection which doesn’t really work on opus.
Skills can contain scripts etc… so yeah they’re extremely risky to share by design.

You should read TAZ. The cycle is the point. There will never be a forever non toxic platform, but there will always be temporary non toxic periods on platforms. To live fully is to surf from one wave to the other.

- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 4 weeks ago:
A space elevator is dominated by angular momentum and centrifugal force, not by Earth’s gravity. There’s no way for the cable to be pulled down to earth unless you strap rockets on it to slow it down, but even then that’s gonna cost a lot of fuel.
That scene in foundation was not accurate, if the cable snaps at some point it’s not going to magically decelerate from earth’s rotation speed to slow enough to be pulled down. The outer part will probably fly away and the inner part sort of hover in place.

- Comment on ROCm on older generation AMD gpu 4 weeks ago:
Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.

That scenario where artists get their shit stolen by passing it through AIGen to avoid copyright strikes is hilarious to me. I’d love to see examples of that cause I can’t really picture it.

Yeah the internet seems to think coding is an expert thing when 99.9% of coders do exactly what you described. I do it, you do it, everybody does it. Even the people claiming to do big boy coding, when you really look at the details, they’re mostly slapping bog standard code on business needs.

My dream was to get an external one as an additional surface but when I looked it was almost impossible to find one. That was some years ago so the market may have cleared since.

I didn’t find it too silly as it was in context. Just stating his job to contextualize his answer, it didn’t feel to me like he was waving his resume around.

I’m a fan of unusual control surfaces and this thing has had me salivating for years. Sadly they’re pretty difficult to procure so I haven’t had the chance of owning one (and probably realizing they’re not all that great irl)

What’s the deal with Lemmy being so abrasive all the time. Sometimes I think some of us should be put in time out with just hacker news for a month to teach us some manners…

There are a million tools way more suited to most situations. I’d rather have those. Guns are for pussies who think they need maximum damage all the time. You don’t need maximum damage, you’re just scared, and maximum damage will only make your world more scary.
