What I do is i ask claude or codex to run models on ollama and test them sequentially on a bunch of tasks and rate the outputs. 30 minutes later I have a fit. It even tested the abliterated models.

Can you share the prompts?

Far more people are coding and participating and creating things now than before. Doesn't matter what you call it. There is enough excitement.

The US' honor system hasn't worked out with this level of rule breaking and brazen corruption. The Nazis seem to be on their way back to power.

I had problems with tailscale being flaky about a year ago and it would stop responding taking down networking with it. I've since ripped it out and went with a VPS based wireguard for all PCs and mobiles. Stable since then.

Summary: Venezuela just lost its oil.

India has a huge fake jobs problem. I think it is because of the number of "HR consultants" who constantly need to refresh their databases with "fresh" resumes. I've seen the same jobs being posted for over 8 years with no change whatsoever other than the keyword updates.

That's a funny mechanism. So these are fake jobs that HR consultants (recruiters?) use to harvest resumes?

What's the angle here?

They can submit those resumes to other positions.

This type of recruiter often is paid based on # of resumes furnished, not actually filling the position, so the incentives are completely misaligned.

That's fine IF tech stays out of politics, but that's not the case anymore. US tech bros are buying themselves policy with this administration.

If tech is influencing politics and consequently, all of us, why should there be an asymmetry when the tech plebs want to talk politics?

I see a similar theme with most techbros or rich VC groups. They say they dont like politics but they move fast to influence policy by buying influence. See what's happening with Trump and the tech companies.

What tech connected leaders really hate is the plebs being informed and having an opinion on policy. I see the same thing with the All-In podcast. All round glee on that podcast with things that negatively impact the working classes.

Billionaires are for billionaires while controlling the media.

Its really interesting how this stories about "getting somehow richt with a startup" seems to be more portrayed on social media than on classic media?

I guess this is because on classic media, you have limited slots for sending - on social media, everybody can broadcast (youtubes slogan was "broadcast yourself", IIRC, for a long time?)

This allows those shows to be produced at nearly minimum costs - and since this is content is viewed by a lot of people, the creators see that "inviting the next rich guy" drives traffic & clicks, Id say?

Atleast in Europe there are some basic rules around data collection. In places like India, linkedin is a free for all vacuuming up resume data. I've seen the same jobs on linkedin appear for nearly 4 years with no changes and hundreds of people applying every week.

You cant flag it on linkedin either. I guess LinkedIn's business model likes the fake job postings.

I think devs have now split into two camps, the kvetchers and the shippers. It's a new tool, it's fresh. Things will work itself out over the next couple of years/months(?). The kvetching helps keep AI research focused on the problem which is good. Meanwhile continue to ship.
