Yeah, I was thinking the same. I have two Dyson vacuum cleaners, one purchased about 9 years ago, and the other two years ago. Both are excellent, and I still use the old one for my basement.

80% success rate is also potentially commercially viable if the task is currently being done by a human.
Work that was once done by 10 humans can now be done by 10 robots + 2 humans for the 20% failure cases, at a lower total cost.
This really depends on the failure modes. In general, humans fail in predictable, and mostly safe, ways. AIs fail in highly unpredictable and potentially very dangerous ways. (A human might accidentally drop a knife, an AI might accidentally stab you with it.)

Why would you trust a LLM over a battery of human experts? I find it hard to believe that the doctors never proposed exercises or some kind of physical therapy for you, at least in the US.
I've never used LLMs for this, but as someone who's been through a lot of sports-related injuries, I find doctors more or less useless (except for prescribing painkillers and performing surgeries.)
No doctor or physio has ever been able to fix my chronic issues, and I've always had to figure them out myself through lots of self-study and experimentation.

This is just a modern problem in all software development, regardless of language. We are doing more complex things, we have a much bigger library of existing code to draw from and there are many reasons to use it. Ultimately a dependency is untrusted code, and there's a long road to go in hardening entire systems to make running arbitrary dependencies safe (if its even possible).
In the absence of a technical solution, all others basically involve someone else having to audit and constantly maintain all that code and social/legal systems of trust. If it was pulled into Rust stdlib, that team would be stuck handling it, and making changes to any of that code becomes more difficult.

I think Rust really needs to do more of this. I work with both Go and Rust daily at work, Go has its library game down -- the standard library is fantastic. With Rust it's really painful to find the right library and keep up for a lot of simple things (web, tls, x509, base64 encoding, heck even generating random numbers.)

Please rank GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1-nano, GPT-4.1-mini, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, o1-mini, o1, o1 pro, o3-mini, o3-mini-high, o3, and o4-mini in terms of capability without consulting any documentation.
There's no single ordering -- it really depends on what you're trying to do, how long you're willing to wait, and what kinds of modalities you're interested in.

If anything I feel like “Ok, so…” is wasted tokens so you’d think RL that incentivizes more concise thought chains would eliminate it. Maybe it’s actually useful in compelling the subsequent text to be more helpful or insightful.
> “Ok, so…” is wasted tokens
This is not the case -- it's actually the opposite. The more of these tokens it generates, the more thinking time it gets (very much like humans going "ummm" all the time.) (Loosely speaking) every token generated is an iteration through the model, updating (and refining) the KV cache state and further extending the context.
If you look at how post-training works for logical questions, the preferred answers are front-loaded with "thinking tokens" -- they consistently perform better. So, if the question is "what is 1 + 1?", they're post-trained to prefer "1 + 1 is 2" as opposed to just "2".

Meh, as a developer who lived through the 2000-2010 era Microsoft, it’s easy to come up with a laundry list of reasons to hate on Azure.
But I tried Azure for my most recent startup because I was offended by AWS, and GCP did not have enough adoption among my customers, and Azure worked - fine.
What do you really need out of a cloud?
I want them to rent me VMs, for them to not go down, and to make it easy to do standard stuff like an object store, run containers, run databases, etc.
Azure was as good or better than AWS
> What do you really need out of a cloud?
I need a cloud to be reliable and secure. I've used Azure extensively and it's neither. I'll take GCP or AWS over Azure any day.

You still can't get 100% reliability that would be necessary for certain problem domains.
There are going to be some level of hallucination errors in the translation to the agent or code. If it is a complex problem, those will compound.
You can't get 100% reliability from a human either.
I think you can reasonably assume that if a website went through the trouble of making such a modal (for legal compliance reasons), the functionality works (also for legal compliance reasons). And, you as the client can verify whether it works, and can choose not to store them regardless.
How do you do that? Cookies are typically opaque (encrypted or hashed) bags of bits.
