Cheap is a bit pejorative, I’d call it reasonable or competitive, ie. not exorbitant prices.

They know what they’re doing and they’re doing it well, cheap is more side effect than primary goal.

[Havoc → mirekrusin]

Cheap is a perfectly fine way to say low in price and you knew exactly what I meant...

[mirekrusin → Havoc]

I know what you meant, just saying that somebody reading "brand of cheap but decent" may read as "brand of cheap stuff" and for clarification that's not what they represent.

[Havoc → mirekrusin]

Perhaps I was being a little too subtle/polite. I get your point...its just an incredibly anal point to make

[mirekrusin]

Local dev doesn’t imply you can’t have deployable PRs.

Like this magic pill to loose weight that you need to take before every meal with large glass of water, where pill is optional.

If they contain some salt they are better than just water.

Not to take anything from what you're saying but any person involved in hiring process _for programmers_ will agree that people struggle with trivia far easier than this example.

[samrus → mirekrusin]

Yeah but an LLM can't be excused being nervous or not tired or just not operating at its best like a human can. They are always operating at their best, so if they trip up once, that's their limit

Depends how much you turn down the heat.

[mirekrusin → samrus]

Yes, but they will only keep getting better; whether we like it or not sooner or later we’re going to be hiring api keys, not people.

[k__ → mirekrusin]

"they will only keep getting better"

I don't think that's a given.

It could very well be that they only get smaller, faster, or even worse when they accidentally start training them with hallucinations that spread on the web.

Isn’t bogosort transformer and quicksort proposed modified rnn (175 times faster training for 500 seq) here?
