That's why LLM will eventually be used only for initial interaction between the user in their language, to prepare the data to a specialized model.

Imagine face recognition to work like a text chat, where the PC gets the frame from the camera and writes in the chat: "Who's that? Here's the RGB888 image in hex: ...".

That's actually how vision language models already work, pretty much.
Next up: Claude replacement to handle simdjson processing.
Wouldn't this be faster with an agent skill that has code?

Perhaps one day, all network services will be provided by LLMs natively. Truly, that would be a day in the future.
think about how much faster it would've been with a small local model!
Modulo Anthropic messing with the model for load mitigation, I wonder how stable this result is.

1,000 pings, how many correctly ponged?

How quickly claude responds when it acts like a user space LLM chatbot?
Now do the equivalent of just in time compilation. Claude sees that we need to respond to a lot of pings and writes a program to compute it instead of thinking about each one.
This is cool, let aside the token usage, perhaps it can help analyze tcp throughput by redirect wire shark/to dump result
>Fun? Oh yeah!

I think this author and I have different definitions of fun.

Do some people still claim "LLMs are just dumb auto completers"?

Because this seems to disprove that claim pretty convincingly?

If you wonder why your Copilot subscription has new limits that you hit every few days, it's because of PhDs like Adam.

Could Adam use a local model hosted on his own box? Probably yes. But he preferred to waste the service we all use just to produce a weak blog post that introduces absolutely no knowledge and serves no other purpose than to tell everyone that the author likes to waste resources and calls it "fun".

> Ridiculous? Yes. Wasteful of tokens? Sure. Fun? Oh yeah!

Do you really think it's fun to be one of these people who are the reason why the rest of us gets more limits?

How fast can Claude do branch predictions in CPU?
There was a security engineer at my work doing something similar to this. He wanted to use LLMs as an IDS. I begged him to use BPF and stop wasting sprint cycles trying to reinvent a shittier slower wheel.
For reference Adam Dunkels is the developer of lwIP and uIP ip-stacks , as well as the C64 "Contiki" OS that used the latter to do networking.
I eagerly await the publication of your RFC for IP over Slop Generators.
Was not expecting to see Adam in an AI post!

For me, he is the opposite of slop (AI or otherwise). This is the kind of guy that writes an operating system for your toaster and leaves enough resources free to run DOOM.
