I mean, it&#39;s like worrying about the end of the universe, not much we can do until it happens, but everything I&#39;ve seen is that unless there is a big change in LLM architecture (likely, though we don&#39;t know what) it&#39;s hard to avoid model collapse at some point soonish. Anyhoo. I&#39;ll use the tools until then. Not much action we can take. 2026-02-22T18:43:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst7py8wmt3h8rg6gyszt2zrnlj9fwshyk96pndmywshmw2vpn6fxczyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdyrc6yxk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg9sczg8p32ms58upjxxlj9lqh6mggrzyvg66gfkguqq4pj08t0qcpfmjky'>nevent1q…mjky</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;d also add that a coding flow where ONE model writes the code and ANOTHER checks it will be the default. Also there should be good default prompts for a Python file versus all coding.<br/><br/>Basically, to me, the UX is the issue. Even if the models stop advancing right now, there&#39;s so much to unlock so a regular user can get the best of out them. Cause most of us aren&#39;t.<br/><br/>We should use the models well until model collapse/drift result in end times 😀 . 2026-02-22T14:04:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdrfkc906e788vxdj2wkx6j4wuf8k4s2gjl2g3mhredc2aqfe26rszyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdyuwn2p6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf5xxkghhdlcsg9desngkg9j4s8ajkd7aad5ceujxjw2g48e8v54cmh9ns7'>nevent1q…9ns7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks for flagging this, Florian. 2026-02-15T19:19:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspldtdhfltkjvyngr2nc0ef547vu3g6p6cwdvacn648es0m5z2rsszyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdyz92t6u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2l0dsxw8y47fmcm0jx2u5wms886476l2y6zhw40j0temee2znuds309hnw'>nevent1q…9hnw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yup!

I was wondering if anyone saw that. So I&#39;ve gotten through half those so far and just didn&#39;t comment out the last 10, but I&#39;ve got them all on my nightstand.<br/><br/>I just love to read, and I&#39;m curious. I read fast. I dunno.... books are the best.<br/><br/>I read in bed for about an hour at night. I try to cram a little in at lunch. And anytime I&#39;m waiting around for my kids, more books 🤷‍♂️ . 2026-01-23T15:26:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0sm493u7grdcx93jzk7y4g08p5j5xc56shg5y320p26r09ylqdvqzyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdyhv7320 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxzmhl3ssgg8pputszjy6zwfgurf0kmnpv028026heyraaea84n8crhxcxc'>nevent1q…xcxc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Very exciting! 2026-01-22T22:01:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz9zv8nxc9l329mpfza2jhe7fa5spjm5rxdzskva8wmq4uf96pv3qzyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdypf26jt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq7np3peaqxul3qtkhwzw63hng3p96pqfwpqrn6efqxq9vcuh78yqp7jdek'>nevent1q…jdek</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yup.

If someone is from a country your company hasn&#39;t hired from before, HR is just like, nah, we don&#39;t want the hassle. I&#39;ve experienced this. Heck, I&#39;ve had this for different US states let alone countries when it comes to remote employees. 2026-01-21T17:47:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszwqxrrpt50gckhaqse6jvshf7af3ncfhljqrh38547we26q74a7szyrwg6pxfupsrj6haz07gfyjrajndcqty2khdkgu5547rs8qfhqqdyqucxqj Another &#34;Recently&#34; update.
