TechTakes@awful.systems•Claude Code rate limits: Anthropic AI squeezes the customersEnglish
3·30 days agoOh they are going to charge per token for github copilot? That thing is a money waste for everyone, I’m pretty sure. I get a mix of inane mildly good suggestions, irrelevant stuff, and an occasional suggestion of super evil sabotage. Due to mild OCD about issues, I tend to have to fix said mildly good suggestions, but from the objective perspective that nitpickery is not worth it, everything was fine without, we had compiler warnings, coverity, etc.
edit: the difference being that the old stuff was deterministic and you just ran it on the whole codebase and had it pass. Unlike gh copilot that’ll just make up new shit. And as for the times it caught some bad bug that you made… add more tests instead.

TechTakes@awful.systems•GitHub Copilot puts ads into pull requestsEnglish
4·2 months agoI wouldn’t be too surprised if they really don’t, they’re just advertising the advertising lol.
edit: Basically what if you spent a trillion dollars so that you could beam ads to people’s bathroom mirrors. And better yet, ads reflected from water down in their toilets. Then in the interest of expediency you just take random ads and put them there for free, and your actual product, shares, sells better.

3·4 months agoIt makes every bad programmer into a 10x bad programmer (equivalent to 10 bad programmers).

1·6 months agoI’m afraid they already had that exact idea when they named the startup “oklo”.

2·6 months agoI think it’s not very difficult to construct a really shitty small reactor that is horrendously expensive per watt. Can probably be built in a year if you get rid of NRC and just half ass it completely.
I mean, Demon Core was a small reactor. You pretty much have to do a lot of work to ensure you won’t create a small reactor when a truckload of fresh fuel falls into a river.
What’s difficult is making a safe reactor that is actually making electricity at somewhat reasonable price per watt.

TechTakes@awful.systems•AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slowerEnglish
1·11 months agoI think if people are citing in another 3 months time, they’ll be making a mistake
In 3 months they’ll think they’re 40% faster while being 38% slower. And sometime in 2026 they will be exactly 100% slower - the moment referred to as “technological singularity”.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Study: Meta AI Model Can Reproduce Almost Half of Harry Potter BookEnglish
2·11 months agoIts also interesting that this is the most conservative, pro “its not just memorizing” estimation possible : they multiplied the probabilities of consequent tokens. Basically it means if it starts shitting out a quote it will not be able to stop quoting until their anti copy the whole book finetuning kicks in after 50 words or so.
It can probably output far more under a realistic test (always picking the top token, temperature =0)


Oh, by far. There’s only 80 decimal places in that at most.
It got to be a quantum sweatshop: a quantum computer for AGI (a guy instead)
