There’s absolutely a push for specialized hardware, look up that company called Groq !

There’s some decent money to be made in null shipping. For one thing, fuel costs are very low.

It’s very rare that the backend language significantly affects performance. In 99% of apps you could have the most optimized backend written directly in machine language, and you’d just shave off milliseconds.

That’s because in web development most of the latency comes from i/o (network requests, database access, file access), not from computation being slow.

Same experience here, performance is mediocre at best on an established code base. Recall tends to drop sharply as the context expands leading to a lot of errors.

I’ve found coding agents to be great at bootstrapping projects on popular stacks, but once you reach a certain size it’s better to either make it work on isolated files, or code manually and rely on the auto complete.

I use it to role play historical counter factuals, like how I could win the battle of Cannae through tactics, or how I could invent the telegraph in 13th century France. It’s worth every watt <3

Don’t have to imagine it when you can just remember it. Getting online in the late 90s was a horror show, seriously dialup was super unreliable. And that was 20 years after it’s inception, it was shit but also extremely popular.

As long as you don’t share anything you should be okay! It’s not very ethical tough… But you can share your files list with users you trust (for example people you have already downloaded from).

At any rate i never heard of anyone getting in trouble for using soulseek.

I’m more of a slskd kind of guy, even if the webapp is pretty terrible

A hundred times soulseek, all the music nerds are there!

Yeah it’s pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc…) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.

There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a “continue without vpn” button. That button is the actual magnet link

I usually do, but in general they’re dead for lack of demand

If you have access to real debrid, sometimes they have insanely old torrents in cache. I’ve resurrected quite a few decades old bangers from the pirate bay that way.

That has never been true for Google. That’s what other search engines did in the late 90s, and Google’s success comes precisely from implementing smart ranking rather than just being a directory.

They were also early adopters of semantic search using NLP and embeddings, way before LLMs became popular.

He’s also one body shift away from being a giant dragon with adamantium scales…

Yeah integrating APIs has really become trivial with copilots. You just copy paste the documentation and all the boring stuff is done in the blink of an eye ! I love it

Being introvert is all the more incentive to be direct cause it allows you to talk less

Java is actually twice faster cause the name is twice shorter

Notch? The guy who codes in java?

That is, almost certainly, not the reason. What you’re describing is “model collapse”, a situation which can be triggered in certain extreme laboratory conditions, and only in small models. It may be possible on larger models such as OpenAI’s flagships, but has never been observed or even proved to be feasible. In fact there probably isn’t enough synthetic (ai-generated) data in the world to do that.

If i were to guess why hallucinations are on the rise, i’d say it’s more probably because the new models are fine-tuned for “vibes”, “empathy”, “emotional quotient” and other unquantifiables. This naturally exacerbates their tendency for bullshit.

This is very apparent when you compare ChatGPT (fine-tuned to be a nice and agreeable chat bot) with Claude (fine-tuned to be a performant task executor). You almost never see hallucinations from Claude, it is perfectly able to just respond with “i don’t know”, where ChatGPT would spout 5 paragraphs of imaginary knowledge.
