> I’m often alone on this. Engineers look at complex systems with many interesting parts and think “wow, a lot of system design is happening here!” In fact, a complex system usually reflects an absence of good design.

For any job-hunters, it's important you forget this during interviews.

In the past I've made the mistake of trying to convey this in system design interviews.

Some hypothetical startup app

> Interviewer: "Well what about backpressure?"

>"That's not really worth considering for this amount of QPS"

> Interviewer: "Why wouldn't you use a queue here instead of a cron job?"

> "I don't think it's necessary for what this app is, but here's the tradeoffs."

> Interviewer: "How would you choose between sql and nosql db?"

> "Doesn't matter much. Whatever the team has most expertise in"

These are not the answers they're looking for. You want to fill the whiteboard with boxes and arrows until it looks like you've got Kubernetes managing your Kubernetes.

I think you might be missing the point.

Your answers are completely valid but you have to communicate to the interviewer that you considered the possibilities and the tradeoffs.

If the interviewer needs to "forcefully" extract from you the logic behind your design choices than a lot of times that's enough to fail you.

I'm curious how do these LLM wrapper companies think they'll survive long term - especially coding related wrappers.

I could understand focusing on a niche business use case, but coding is a main focus of the foundation models themselves.

At this point the single biggest improvement that could be made to GPTs is making them able to say "I don't know" when they honestly don't.

Just today I was playing around with modding Cyberpunk 2077 and was looking for a way to programmatically spawn NPCs in redscript. It was hard to figure out, but I managed. ChatGPT 5 just hallucinated some APIs even after doing "research" and repeatedly being called out.

After 30 minutes of ChatGPT wasting my time I accepted that I'm on my own. It could've been 1 minute.

Yeah I'm surprised that there's not at least some sort of conviction metric being outputted along the LLM response.

I mean it's all probability right? Must be a way to give it some score.

Protip: look for an Asian market in your area for food. I get an entire shopping cart full of food for $60-100 and that lasts for ~2 weeks.

When I go to Publix (or any other grocery store), I get like 2-3 bags for $60...

Discovering the Asian market has been one of the best financial things to happen to me. Although I'm not really sure how their prices are so low. If someone could answer, that would be awesome!

Protip #2: frozen veggies and fruit.

Cheaper, supposedly healthier (flash frozen), easy to make, zero preparation, and never need to worry about it going bad.

The leak last night seems to indicate this will be coding focused.

I'd imagine this must be a big leg up on Anthropic to warrant the "GPT-5" name?

mupuff1234 · 19 days ago
I'm guessing they realized they have rip off the bandaid and release a GPT 5 at some point, and we're gonna see a relatively incremental improvement.

Affordable housing is a solvable problem - the problem is that nobody at the top actually wants to solve it. Too much wealth and power tied to real estate value.
