very true. infra engineers will have generational run for years and beyond categories.

- model serving / inference infra
- gpu / distributed systems infra
- cloud + kubernetes + orchestration
- data infra
- eval + observability infra
- agent / runtime infra

i still think as ai advances there will be demand for areas which govern bottlenecks underneath like latency, throughput / cost / reliability / data quality and security.

@inferredbylisa Lmao gstack

@xanderpanderman Tbh reading a basic stats/math book end to end would do the same (not the behemoths, but maybe 100-200 pagers)

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@UnmarredReality Tbh pain does

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@VivaLaPanda New Technology does have that impact

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@fooozywooozy Not a bad book to get started, but take it with a grain of salt

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

This mostly applies only if the labs really believe they'll make AGI, and care about its impact

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

Tbh the only AI policy we need is completely open research from all labs. Open sourcing everything would actually convince the public of any imminent danger, as opposed to vague headlines and fear-mongering

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@aadilbuilds Seems like a hybrid approach could work, wherein we have a hierarchical structure, where a few orchestrator agents coordinate (through any consensus algos) and delegate tasks to sub-agents

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@XenoKovah I sort of do the opposite, try to reach the limits as soon as possible

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@joodalooped Hmm, didn't know that

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

And my love for making lists continues

@Westoncb Tbh starting with some form of hand-written code + basic template + asking the agent occasionally + changelog should be enough to keep track of our codebase

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@joodalooped Idk man my personal website is heavy af

@vxnuaj Though i don't believe LLMs are conscious, tbh this a weak argument, cause the same can be said of your neural synapses. It's not the numbers, but the *act* of calculation and what emerges from it is the question.

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

I always thought it would be interesting to have a small-ish vocabulary for random but consistent llm behaviours, depending on models and their versions. Maybe like a behaviour guide or something

[Win Wang @Winium]

I've been calling this "thought-terminating flattery", and it's quite annoying:

Me: <adds random suggestion>
Claude: "that's a better frame than anything I've said." <proceeds to just explain what I suggested and stop>

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

The word of the week, which if it appears in a tweet, it's safe to ignore, is consciousness.

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@abdimoalim_ What should be the concern, that Rust is being used, or that slop is being written ?

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@aadilbuilds Fair. My mind immediately went to either graph-CRDTs or some sort of self-reconciler graph structure (though both seem off somehow).
I did find some repos which have a Paxos/Raft like structure to get coordination down, but it seems a sub-agent setup is the best for now

[astle dsa @AstleDsa]

@joodalooped @shapegrifter Yeah, the higher level shape of feelings is hard to grasp, not impossible, and maybe even easy in certain cases, but overall hard
