before there was reddit there were message boards and these message boards tended to be pretty small and niche. They would have low thousands of users, if that. I don't think having low user counts is something to be afraid of - especially for sites run and paid for by volunteers.

who cares?

ive always found the Core branding a little baffling, why is it 14th Gen Core i7? Anyway this new branding doesn't seem much better. They should just give them yearly updates and have a few different letters to represent the different lines like phone makers do. Or do what NVIDIA does and just use progressively bigger numbers.

theyve been at this shit for almost 10 fuckin years can trump please die already to save me from hearing about this shit ceaselessly

now you can grind things at any angle you want, unlimited genocide to the west.

He took the biggest action on climate change in US history; the goal of the climate bill is to put us on track for a 40% reduction in US emissions by 2030. It’s way too late but that’s clearly not Biden’s fault since he started fighting for it basically as soon as he got into office, and managed to achieve passed legislation which is several standard deviations above the norm for “let’s ignore it until we’re underwater and on fire” US politician status quo.

First of all having a goal isn't the same thing as having an accomplishment. Second Biden was vice president and a senator for decades. Biden isn't Mayo Pete who has only had a career long enough to fix bread prices in Canada.

Furthermore, Finkelstein's pants butt smells like poopy butthole. In conclusion what he is saying is not credible due to the above mentioned points: his dead parents, his disgusting, antisemitic hatred of Israel, and his poopy butthole smelling pants.

Now THIS is how you do ad homenim

of course it's hypothetical it doesn't make any goddamn sense

haha zoomers think windows 95 worked

but maybe this is windows 2000 that actually did work pretty well.

i think i agree with this take but it would work a little differently. This will probably shrink the job market not because there will be teams of programmers who have to fix chatgpt's bullshit but because teams of programmers will instead use chatgpt for mundane tasks that they may have otherwise pawned off to an entry-level new grad. Personally that's essentially what I use it for. If I need some script that does some random bullshit it's faster for me to just do it with ChatGPT than try to figure it out myself. Then I can get back to the thing I'm actually trying to do that ChatGPT unfortunately does a horrible job on (I've tried, I really have).

Devin is afaik built on ChatGPT but it takes it a little farther and iterates on the code ChatGPT generates by attempting to build and run the program, taking screenshots and so on along the way. I'm a little skeptical that this brute force method will work well but it may end up giving us more shit-tier websites and apps that barely function and have random bugs that aren't 100% reproducible.

My skepticism of this being the thing to replace coders is really about scale. If we've really scraped every morsel of information off the internet and come up with GPT-4 and Claude 3 and Gemini 1.5 I don't know where we go with this technique. It is incredibly expensive to build, train and run these things. ChatGPT-4 is 40 requests per 3 hours for $20/month so if you use it as efficiently as you can each request costs about 2 tenths of a cent. Datacenters are now putting pressure on the US electrical system and I haven't heard of much in terms of making transformers (the core layer of these things) more efficient.

Anyway those are kind of disorganized thoughts but in summary unless something really transformative happen in the ML space I don't know if we can possibly get to the required scale of power and computation and memory we would need to have human-level reasoning. Let alone the fact that we need to apparently suck up all information in existence to get to basic human-like text generation.
