  • I.e. the existing implementation is not usable because it's not written in rust

  • Why isn't IPFS the main technology to stream videos?

    Jump

  • Yeah, with HTTPS servers caching videos to improve UX

    I think odysee.com does or did

  • Soo why sell the patent for $1 and have it be potentially exploited when you could hold onto it and licence use for free?

  • In fact, it comes #1 in the final overall summary

  • I think that's a broad generalisation and it'll strongly depend on the task, e.g. see below. On the first benchmark page freebsd blows Linux out of the water for tasks like video encoding and that's my personal experience too

  • Right? Where's freebsd gone. Would have thought freebsd would squeeze out extra performance from them

  • The abortion debate is not something we should be basing anything on, before you know it you'll have to raise these little computers as your children and be charged with murder when they die

  • At work, the software is not open source.

    I would use it for contributions to open source projects but I do not pay for any AI subscriptions, and I can't use my employee account for copilot enterprise for non-work projects.

    Every week for the last year or so I have been testing various copilot models against customer reported software defects and it's seriously at a point now where with a single prompt Gemini pro 2.5 is solving the entire defect with unit tests. Some need no changes in review and are good to go.

    As an open source maintainer of a large project I have noticed a huge uptick in PRs which has created a larger review workload, I'm almost certain these are due to LLMs. Quality of a typical PR has not decreased since LLMs have become available and I am thus far very glad

    If I were to speculate I'd guess the huge increase in context windows has made the tools viable, models like GPT5 are garbage on any sizable code bases

  • Usually they are shot here and they wonder off and eventually die of infection or injury some time later

    These are successive generations of cats breeding in the wild with no human interaction. They cannot be rehomed realistically

  • You really have no idea, I'm working with these tools in industry and with test driven development and human review these are .performing better than human developers

  • Free access to the model is one thing but free access to compute for it is another

  • I think it's pretty hard for random members of the population to successfully decapitate animals. Not everyone is able to use a gun. Drowning is quick with no probability of failure or extended suffering.

  • Some models are getting so good they can patch user reported software defects following test driven development with minimal or no changes required in review. Specifically Claude Sonnet and Gemini

    So the claims are at least legit in some cases
