> Nvidia has been around long enough and has enough market penetration in datacenters and gaming that I don't think it's going to go bust, and I figure that it will eventually appreciate again just due to inflation.

Shouldn't the same argument also apply to Intel?


Intel doesn't make desirable products

Can people quit with this stupid argument? A thin majority of Americans voted for this during the election. If you follow the polls, the vast majority of American currently don't want this. Just stop with this "dumb Americans" dur dur nonsense. Those of us who have our heads screwed on straight are so sick of being blamed for this. The same thing could happen at any time in any country.

This is not true. First of all, this is the SECOND time this clown is elected.

Secondly, 77,302,580 americans voted for trump. That is one in three.

I am sorry you get blamed for this, I know you are not to blame. But you have to see how it looks from the outside, given the incredible effects it has had (most importantly, making millions lose faith in the world. And who knows what more to come.)


To add to this, the thing that really worries me is not that Trump is doing this, but the fact every single US has had the capacity to do this (Trump is proof of it), and the only thing holding back the US from self-immolation and destroying all their partnerships was decorum and being nice, but there were no actual mechanisms, laws, or tools to prevent POTUS from self-appointing himself as King of America, which is extremely worrying for what many people regarded as an advanced democracy.

I understand, but it's also a bit rich coming from the US.

When the US applies country level sanctions or goes to war in places like Gaza, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Iran - I don't see much thought given to it really not being the peoples fault.

> The same thing could happen at any time in any country.

Exactly.


Almost every aspect of public life on social media nowadays is guided by sensationalism. It's simply a numbers game, and the "number" is engagement. Why would you do anything that's not completely geared towards engagement?

Honestly surprised at this take by him. For one, feels like exaggeration. For two, are these tools really that hard to use?


I'm surprised too, considering that in https://x.com/karpathy/status/1977758204139331904 he mentioned regarding his NanoChat repo

>Good question, it's basically entirely hand-written (with tab autocomplete). I tried to use claude/codex agents a few times but they just didn't work well enough at all and net unhelpful, possibly the repo is too far off the data distribution.

And a lot of the tooling he mentioned in OP seems like self-imposed unnecessarily complexity/churn. For the longest time you could say the same about frontend, that you're so behind if you're not adopting {tailwind, react, nodejs, angular, svelte, vue}.

At the end of the day, for the things that an LLM does well, you can achieve roughly the same quality of results by "manually" pasting in relevant code context and asking your question. In cases where this doesn't work, I'm not convinced that wrapping it in an agentic harness will give you that much better results.

Most bespoke agent harnesses are obsoleted by the time of the next model release anyway, the two paradigms that seem to reliably work are "manual" LLM invocation and LLM with access to CLI.


I think the evidence is that even amongst evangelists, they all seem to have different sets of key techniques that change every few months.


> are these tools really that hard to use?

Exactly! If people have 'never felt this far behind' and the LLM's are that good. Ask the LLM to teach you.

Like so many articles on 'prompt engineers' this (never felt this behind) take too is laughable. Programmers having learnt how to program (writing algorithms, understanding data structures, reading source code and API docs) are now completely incapable of using a text box to input prompts? Nor can they learn how to quickly enough! And it's somehow more difficult than what they have routinely been doing? LOL


Frontier AI isnt trained on frontier AI. I wish HN would collectively stop and actually think before they post.


Or is it that nobody wants to use integrated (i.e. force fed) AI products?


Because there's a lot of money in it.


executives doing heavy dick measuring on who's using more AI - winner gets the contract and dough


TL;DR Article claims AppCloud (software in question) has ties to ironSource, an Israeli-founded company now owned by US-based Unity, but never clarifies what those ties are. The author only states that an ironSource tech called "Aura" appears to do something similar to AppCloud. However, the author also points out that AppCloud isn't listed anywhere on ironSource's website. They also acknowledge that there's no evidence currently that AppCloud is doing anything weird. This looks an awful lot like an "Israel bad" article.


I feels like it's a bit hard to take much from this without running this trial many times for each model. Then it would be possible to see if there are consistent themes among each model's solutions. Otherwise, it feels like the specific style of each result could be somewhat random. I didn't see any mention of running multiple trials for each model.


Oddly enough, I've found models are actually quite consistent in their drawings of pelicans riding bicycles.

I remember I even had one case where there was a stealth model running in preview via Open Router and I asked it for an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle and correctly guessed the model vendor based on the response!


If I order a package from a company selling a good, am I inviting all that company's competitors to show up at my doorstep to try and outbid the delivery person from the original company when they arrive, and maybe they all show up at the same time and cause my porch to collapse? No, because my front porch is a limited resource for which I paid for an intended purpose. Is it illegal for those other people to show up? Maybe not by the letter of the law.


I mean, it costs money to host content. If you are hosting content for bots fine, but if the money you're paying to host it is meant to benefit human users (the reason for robots.txt) then yeah, you ought to ask permission. Content might also be copyrighted. Honestly, I don't even know why I'm bothering to mention these things because it just feels obvious. LLM scrapers obviously want as much data as they can get, whether or not they act like assholes (ignoring robots.txt) or criminals (ignoring copyright) to get it.
