render farms (Blender here used in benchmark) or clouds of GPUs where they don’t have a single but dozens or more of such compute units setup in just the right way, with the proper bandwidth, etc.
Also more non professionals are NOT going to use their GPU/CPU/etc 24/7.

I think being self reliant, mindful of centralization, is important. One should NOT delegate everything to “the cloud” especially to vendors in situations of monopoly.
Still, I’m wondering what the target market actually is here because actual professional do have access to…

I’m all for self-hosting, heck I made videos about it https://video.benetou.fr/search?search=hosting&searchTarget=local and keep up to date https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence specifically about self-hosting AI but… who actually does this except developers testing?

My bet is on management requests with 0 technical overview, goals from C-suite dream up straight from HBR or other fancy article promoting AI as the solution to everything. They need “more code” and generating it IS the KPI, regardless of actual quality or, worst, value.

Maybe I’m missing the point, are you implying the robot will soon handle maintaining vending machines? If so, yes, sure I understand the whole point of humanoid robotics, I’m just highlighting that the example itself here, even though technically impressive is still pointless.

Very cool! IMHO the directness of XR, thanks to 6DoF and hand tracking, can help manipulate abstractions directly, e.g. https://x.com/utopiah/status/1838934506104832008

They are alternatives, e.g. Gitea (with related discussions like https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/26073 ironically enough taking place… on Github itself), Forgejo, Gitlab, etc but again the popularity lead to centralization which isn’t great IMHO. It gives power to the owner, here Microsoft.

Replying to @DrizzleORM
Nothing personal, like I say it’s wonderful that you get sponsorship this way. I also sponsor few projects on Github… but Github (which I believe is by far the most popular place for developers) became highly centralized and is now owned by Microsoft since 2018.

keywords can be relatively easy to bind to :
- last project, assuming in ~/Prototypes, is “just” a directory with most recent modification date
- last edited file, same ignoring build artefacts
- last line, same based on either git or code editor
Basically named affordances.
(original)
-
Replying to @utopiah
A lot could be done on top of that, especially with keywords (last project, last edited file, last edited line, etc), namely the resulting text could be :
- saved on a repository as an issue
- a comment on last line
and ideally while keeping the original audio file.

It’s probably illegal somewhere but… I enjoy coding while cycling.🚴
Days ago heading to the ice rink I thought of a solution for an on-going project so… pulled out the phone and used text-to-speech to save the core idea.
Few hours later I “just” implemented it.
It works🤔

So conflicted with this.
Everything time an open-source developer earns money, it warms my heart. I genuinely love this!🫶🐧
The problem is… the Microsoft corporation, infamous for its monopolistic positions (plural), entrenched itself between developers & their supporters⚠️ https://x.com/DrizzleORM/status/1856257963830153243

The saddest thing about LLM and hallucations is that bullshit can be absolutely brilliant. It can, and I’m not even being sarcastic, be thought provoking.
The BS that LLM generates isn’t even good BS, it’s slop BS.

TL;DR: switching from “just” a game to a game + an engine, the hitherto selected one lacking on some aspects (e.g. networking) due to the knowledge gathered along the process and some technical choice of the initial engine?

long term trends on the technology itself is basically just hope.
It’s very tempting, and even useful, to make predictions but it’s not because they are repeated louder and claimed more frequently that they become more true.
Toss your coin, bet, don’t argue it’s a sure future.

The scaling debate is such a joke… people, including professionals, have been arguing that AI scales since literally the inception of AI!

Yes IMHO the last part is fundamental, namely why “AI clone” if you can git clone a project that is already working and supported?
In fact why even clone it at all, why not “just” deploy it?
I can imagine generative for missing niche functionalities but the working base, why?🤷♂️

…so the trajectory looks quite realistic to me, especially not for a product but for an internal prototype.
