I stopped using AI code editors (lucianonooijen.com)
In late 2022, I used AI tools for the first time, even before the first version of ChatGPT. In 2023, I started using AI-based tools in my development workflow. Initially, I was super impressed with the capabilities of these LLMs. The fact that I could just copy and paste obscure compiler errors along with the C++ source code, and be told where the error is caused felt like magic.

Wikipedia is struggling with voracious AI bot crawlers (engadget.com)
Wikimedia has seen a 50 percent increase in bandwidth used for downloading multimedia content since January 2024, the foundation said in an update. But it's not because human readers have suddenly developed a voracious appetite for consuming Wikipedia articles and for watching videos or downloading files from Wikimedia Commons. No, the spike in usage came from AI crawlers, or automated programs scraping Wikimedia's openly licensed images, videos, articles and other files to train generative artificial intelligence models.

Show HN: Qwen-2.5-32B is now the best open source OCR model (github.com/getomni-ai)
A benchmarking tool that compares OCR and data extraction capabilities of different large multimodal models such as gpt-4o, evaluating both text and json extraction accuracy. The goal of this benchmark is to publish a comprehensive benchmark of OCR accuracy across traditional OCR providers and multimodal Language Models. The evaluation dataset and methodologies are all Open Source, and we encourage expanding this benchmark to encompass any additional providers.

Dual RTX 5090 Beats $25,000 H100 in Real-World LLM Performance (hardware-corner.net)
AI enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance in local LLMs have long considered NVIDIA’s H100 to be the gold standard for inference, thanks to its high-bandwidth HBM3 memory and optimized tensor cores. However, recent benchmarks show that a dual RTX 5090 setup, while still pricey, outperforms the H100 in sustained output token generation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking the best possible performance for home use, especially for models up to 70B parameters.

Ask HN: What's the best way to get started with LLM-assisted programing? (ycombinator.com)
Currently, I use Perplexity or ChatGPT via the web prompt for small coding tasks, but sometimes I'll use Ollama. Stuff like writing a shell script perform some task, or maybe a small Python function. I'd like to get to the next level, but I don't know where to start.

There is no Vibe Engineering (serce.me)
You've probably heard about "vibe coding" by now. The term was recently coined by Andrej Karpathy in his tweet. Andrej defines Vibe Coding as "a new kind of coding, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists". The key difference between vibe coding and normal coding is that the engineer doesn’t interact with the codebase directly, and instead converses with the agent and inspects the final outcome.
