Isn't Devin AI basically a scam, selling an "AI Software Engineer" when no such thing exists.

We're using it consistently to put out (albeit smaller) features.

Any examples? Curious what you let it rip on and what it can actually do.

Uh... maybe because he doesn't want to use technology that gives power to someone like Elon Musk, who is well known for propagating right-wing propaganda.

>I feel like OpenAI is pursuing AGI

I don't think so, the "AGI guy" was Ilya Sutskever, he is gone, he wanted to make OpenAI "less comercial", AGI is just a buzzword for Altmann.

Right. A good chunk of the "old guard" is now gone - Ilya to SSI, Mira and a bunch of others to a new venture called Thinking Machines, Alec Radford etc. Remains to be seen if OpenAI will be the leader or if other players catch up.

The page still has Mira Muratis name under Exec Leadership

So... not wanting to have people around with enough money to buy a US president is... Marxism?

>I typically like Elon about 70% of the time

>I don't quite understand how he suddenly got so much influence.

then you don't know much about him

Almost everything that is happening in US politics was telegraphed beforehand if you were looking carefully enough. If Musk's current level of influence and his actions are a surprise to anyone, I'd politely suggest that they augment their sources of information.

Since you’re ahead of many of us, can you let us know what happens next?

This [1] should give you another 150 days of predictions.

no, rather, GP tryptophan doesn't know much about {him|her|it}self.

why the top comments on HN are always people who have not read the article

It's not clear to me in the lines you're quoting that the GP didn't read the article.

Just confirming I did read the article in its entirety. Not reading it is like HN sin #1.

That's pretty much what Altman said about GPT-3 (or 2, I don't remember), he said it was too dangerous to release to the public.

Cool, let's see if in 2027 Anthropic still exists.

>Try loading up a library heavy site (i.e. React plus a half dozen associated helpers for state, UI and whatever, which is pretty common) on an old or cheap Android device.

that was the case in 2015 when entry level android devices were quite slow, nowdays a cheap $200 android phone has at least 4-6GB of RAM and an eight core processor.

if that isn't enough for your react powered site, you are doing something very wrong.

Multiple times daily I encounter sites that are brutally slow not just on my beefy Android phone, but on my 3GHz+ 8-core 64GB desktop machine.

You need to take performance seriously or it will just be bad. Most of the industry has chosen to be bad.

Well, tracking and advertisement will be doing it, not react.

Keep in mind that React is very single threaded (as is nearly everything in javascript). These phones might have 8 cores; but they tend to have the same single thread performance as 10+ year old iPhones.

That assumes that the bottleneck is JS parsing/execution. The browser itself is not single-threaded and can load/parse resources in parallel.

And I don't buy that most websites would have react as the bottleneck, over the million other js libs, ads and tracking.

No one is asking you to buy it, there is tons of empirical data you can analyze for yourself.

The performance of client-side web applications asymptotically approaches load times of "at most a few hundred milliseconds" on the high end phone models owned by developers.

React sites still feel janky on my 24cores and 48gigs or ram. Which is impressive for all the wrong reasons.

Which react sites? Are you sure you are not a victim of confirmation bias? How often do you check what framework does a smooth and performance website uses?

Because demo sites are snappy on even low-end devices. It's not react itself that causes slowness, but all the other libraries/tracking/ads.

This answers your questions: https://astro.build/blog/2023-web-framework-performance-repo...

Which (correctly) doesn't even have react listed, only frameworks that (may) use react as a library.

So at least be specific what is problematic, is it a particular framework, a particular library, the whole idea behind react (v=f(s)) or what? Anything can be proven against something non-concrete.

Yes.

>If you want to create a religion

I think he is making an allusion to Apple's culture.

There's successful companies because their product is good, there's more successful companies because they started early (and it feels like a monopoly: Google, Microsoft), and there's the most successful company that tells you what you are going to buy (Apple's culture).
