Thanks GPT, very useful
- Comment on More Agents Is All You Need: LLMs performance scales with the number of agents 2 months ago:
Good, people kept complaining that they don’t use enough power. Now we can have more agents working simultaneously on the same task so we can use 3x, 5x, or maybe 10x the power usage! 🎉
- Comment on I still don't get why people spend money... there's tons of it for free 3 months ago:
I can’t read “My mate Paul” and not hear it in Philomena Cunk’s / Diane Morgan’s voice. Well played sir!
- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 5 months ago:
The steam deck is my favourite console of this generation by far, and it’s not even 100% a console.

They wouldn’t happen either if people could stop and think for a second to understand that hyperbole isn’t literal, and that “nobody bought it” clearly means “its sales performance was well under expectations”.
- Comment on Japan's 18-year-olds at record-low 1.06 mil on falling births 5 months ago:
I feel the housing is one of those things that would sort themselves out, just not in a short timeframe.
If population keeps declining, there won’t be enough people who can afford houses at their current prices, and this will put pressure on people who want to sell houses to lower prices. If it gets to the point where there aren’t buyers for all the houses, the ones with the least attractive value will be priced out of the market until they become cheaper.
As for raising kids… Oof. That’s a difficult one to solve. As a senior software engineer with a partner that makes similar money, I can’t see kids as something “I can afford”. I am in the UK, but this is a worldwide problem (and to different extents in different countries). Unless we were to subsidize certain things very heavily to make it financially really easy, I think we’re going to see Japan’s trend replicate in more places.
