I think we lost that terminology war. Open source models mean open weight. There are only a couple examples of fully open source models with open data and code, and the labs are not incentivized to go that far.

Yes, retooling gas stations is the way to go. Already happening in Norway where stations now show the price of kWh in addition to gas and diesel prominently on signs by the road. Charging is just a different kind of pump.

Charging stations don't need all the environmental equipment that gas stations have to catch oil and gas run off. I guess we could convert old gas stations that don’t need extensive environmental cleanup, but building new ones just to charge EVs is huge overkill when you just need some space in a parking lot.

a key difference between a gas station and a parking lot is that people only park at a gas station to get gas (and have a rest, get dinner, bathroom break etc), so, assuming quick charging, you need less chargers as they will spend less time not charging a fully charged car left parked on them. Gas station staff can ensure charging spots are utilized correctly as they do now for the pumps.

Also everyone understands how gas stations work, so it is easier to slip EVs into the social fabric.

Those fast chargers rely on a buffer, so I’m not sure thy can be used continuously like a gas pump can.

That's a good point. Charging stations benefit from being a service station too though, with amenities and a cafe etc, since people want something to do while they charge. So a gas station is a better candidate than a parking lot when decisions are made for where to place the new charging infrastructure. Lots of other factors too of course.

I prefer grocery stores because I can run in and grab something quickly. The only problem is that charging is often too quick to do any real shopping, so a smaller convenience store makes sense also.

America certainly did not invent electric cars. Depending on which electric car you consider the first real one, the inventor was either French, British or German [1].

GP is talking about the current market and product class, not the drive train/mechanisms. There was ~a century where EVs were effectively nonexistent

Unsloth is providing the best and most reliable libraries for finetuning LLMs. We've used it for production use-cases where I work, definitely solid.

Glad it was helpful!

Also wrestling with this challenge at the moment and curious to hear experiences from others. Even though it requires human input, the capture and the way it's updated has to get automated.

Completely agree the manual capture is exactly where it breaks down every time. Curious, what's your current setup? GitHub + Slack or something different?

Spend time building a test harness and evaluations of whether the solution meets the requirements. Then you don't need to look at the code because those other pieces will bring the necessary guarantees and trust.

I've never actually seen a test plan thorough enough to allow that kind of behaviour, and I doubt one exists.

Because we all prefer it over Gemini and Codex. Anthropic knows that and needs to get as much out of it as possible while they can. Not saying the others will catch up soon. But at some point other models will be as capable as Opus and Sonnet are now, and then it's easier to let price guide the choice of provider.

Still do. Great for workloads where it's okay to bundle a bunch of requests and wait some hours (up to 24h, usually done faster) for all of them to complete.

Thank you, was confused there for a second XD

You’re ignoring Jevons paradox. Everyone, both people and companies, will be making exponentially more software with these tools. Software that both needs to get created, debugged and updated to realize the intention of it. That’s what our time will be spent on as programmers.

Do you have any evidence that the demand for developers is largely price elastic?

People are already struggling to find work from oversupply of talent and not enough demand

At the same time ability to write software is exploding we are watching large entities in the market consolidated and small businesses end up on the down side of the K shaped economy. Programmers demand and pay should go down as supply increases just like every other person in an economy.
