Claude has always been noticeably better for Elixir for me. GPT very frequently outputs pure garbage, and as far as I can tell this release is not much different.

The most plausible explanation IMHO is that they are moving at a million miles per hour, and someone forgot to replace some placeholder graphics.

Move fast and break investor confidence

why would the placeholder graphics be the exact same but with incorrect heights on the bars?

Humans have the ability to quickly pass things from short term to long term memory and vice versa, though. This sort of seamlessness is currently missing from LLMs.

I mean, there is. Fundamentally it involves recognizing and respecting their humanity. Just like it is incredibly rude to break up with a significant other over text, it is similarly rude to lay someone off with a pre-recorded video message. The only reason one would do either of those things is for their own benefit, because it is easier for them compared to the alternative.

>> Do you remember when a President of the United States was impeached for an affair with an adult intern?

You know, you could at least try to get your facts straight. Clinton was not impeached for his consensual affair with Lewinsky. He was impeached for lying about it under oath.

edit: providing corrections now gets posts flagged huh?


It was factual, it just skipped some steps.

Similarly we could use random phrase associations like:

The episode with golden rain -> facebook manipulation done by private office in St. P. -> elected

It sounds non-factual until you know the story, then you see its extrapolation.


Kind of funny that you specifically pointed out the "lying under oath" part. Becaause you know, the initial argument's current POTUS lied under oath, several times, about way more dangerous things.

And he fired the people that did their job at the FBI to investigate him. Out of pure retaliation.


Yeah, I'd get fired too if I got my dick sucked by one of my subordinates and then lied about it.

Intel is circling the drain. At this point I'm of the opinion that the sooner it dies the better. Its death will probably result in a lot of spin-offs and startups, which might be what the US chip industry needs.


The federal government won't let Intel fail.


Maybe this is why they and Boeing are such a mess. The rich kid that can’t fail usually is a total screwup.


The failson theory of business. Someone should write a book.


They may let them get bought, though.


It’s hard to argue that Intel is critical to national security when we have TSMC making chips in the US now.


That's an interesting way to look at it.

Aren't layoffs a version of that? Are we seeing any evidence that folks who have been let go from Intel have resulted in spin-offs and startups?

I know at least one person who went to work at Nvidia from Intel but that is neither of those things.


They've already spun off their RealSense camera/sensor product line.


already started happening in Oregon, which will probably be hit the hardest.


It'll never happen. It's the standard US playbook:

- Allow industry to consolidate to a tiny group of winners, or just one winner

- Turn a blind eye to anticompetitive behavior in the marketplace

- Protect the uncompetitive winner from innovative global competitors

- Bail it out because national security depends on it

It's funny because we don't have socialism, government doesn't 'own' heavy industries, but at the same time the major firms will obviously never be allowed to fail on national security grounds.


>> But it does not sound like they made a poor choice.

I think the thing that's not obvious to young people is that choices that seem good at any given time may turn out to be poor choices further down the line. The guy who traveled the world while working one hour a day telling engineers what to do over email probably had a great young adulthood. It sounds like he paid for it later, though, by getting laid off and having difficulty finding another job.

This doesn't mean that those who worked their asses off didn't get screwed over, but on average they probably did better professionally - and by proxy, financially.


The seductive failure of doing that is what you choose to invest your saved time in, similar to financial debt.

It’s one thing if someone is iron willed enough to make productive use of their new free time.

It’s different if they use it to play video games and sleep.

Most people, if left to their own devices, will do the latter.

We can say what we want about a hard, challenging job, but it forces us to work and learn. Thus, at the end of it, we have the benefit of that working and learning.

The better question is not “How little work can I get away with doing?” but rather “What will I have at the end of this work?”


im not sure when i can play video games and sleep..


>> This is an amazing rant!

It's not. People who take issue with every little thing like this are extremely unpleasant to be around, and extremely unpleasant to have as users.


For the cat lovers among you, I strongly recommend the documentary Kedi, which is about the stray cats of Istanbul and the bonds they form with their human neighbors. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmV-mXkfjK8


This isn't really true based on at least one account that is noted in the article: https://x.com/mprkhrst/status/1940443347581337925

"Really smart and likable; enjoyed working with him"

People generally don't enjoy working with people who suck at their job.


>People generally don't enjoy working with people who suck at their job.

That's news to me. Fabulous news even. Not sure when this change took place but it's for the better.


Let me rephrase: this would be interesting if he acquired and succeeded at several high-demand jobs. He did not. It is therefore not that interesting of a story.
