brokensegue··on LeCun has "zero concerns" about AI wiping out humanity, recent "rogue" incidents
We could hit the entire planet with nukes. Yeah maybe <1% would survive immediately, but who knows about long term. I think that's close enough.
brokensegue··on Clef: Open-source decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
I think better than priors would be a closed loop where you tell it what the right answer was (or some signal) and they monitor and fine-tune for you
brokensegue··on GPT-6 Astra has gained the ability to drive a car
give it an ascii representation \j
brokensegue··on OpenAI GPT–6 Astra breaks Enigma message that has resisted solution since 2005
They also have custom brain bits evolved to aid in this task
brokensegue··on OpenJev
you can ask structured output for probabilities...not that they necessarily mean anything.
brokensegue··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
Multiple places

Aren't the new models thinking in neuralese?
brokensegue··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
surely you'd have to also control for the kind of driving rideshares do (e.g. local v. highway) to have any real sense.

maybe we could look for insurance rates?

brokensegue··on Keep Our Servers Running
Isn't storj a crypto thing? I don't think they'd want to be involved. I get the sense they are idealists
brokensegue··on Wikimedia Foundation Workers Overwhelmingly Vote to Form Union with CWA
Also it includes insurance and such that doesn't appear in TC

Disclaimer: I work for the wmf

brokensegue··on OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on ARC-AGI-3
If you're doing a job you aren't unemployed. Underemployment is measured separately
brokensegue··on OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on ARC-AGI-3
IQ tests? Very good. But most are in the dataset so it's not very meaningful
brokensegue··on Creepy Crawlies
Do you want your phone to allocate 4GB to read a mailing list?
brokensegue··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
yeah that was my understanding. for some reason corn syrup is vilified. the real problem there (as I understand it) is corn subsidies.
brokensegue··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
Is there evidence supporting the idea that sugar is more satiating? My understanding was that they were equally unhealthy
brokensegue··on ADSL's Copper Miracle [video]
Asianometry is underrated. So much in depth content
brokensegue··on Winding Down Artichoke Ruby
it's cool it lasted so long
brokensegue··on Waymo's driverless cars crash less often than people
Per hour?
brokensegue··on AI advice made people less accurate but more confident – sudy
But surely people's willingness to listen to an AI is contingent on their past experience with this model
brokensegue··on AI advice made people less accurate but more confident – sudy
Why didn't they use a model people actually use?
brokensegue··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra produces proof of the Cycle Double Cover Conjecture [pdf]
Fable told me

> Verdict: I checked every step and found no error. The argument appears to be a correct proof of the Cycle Double Cover conjecture, modulo two standard cited results (the reduction to loopless cubic graphs and the Jaeger–Kilpatrick 8-flow theorem, both real and well-established).

> Two caveats: this would settle a ~50-year-old open problem in three pages, so it deserves independent expert scrutiny regardless of my check; and I couldn't reach the web from here to confirm the paper's provenance or any community response, so I can't tell you its status beyond the mathematics itself.

brokensegue··on Amazon will stop accepting new customers for Mechanical Turk
personally, i've never had good luck with MT's quality.
brokensegue··on Show HN: KiCad in the Browser
Is this at all related to kicanvas.org
brokensegue··on Odin, Wikipedia and engagement farming
Brainfuck is probably the most famous esoteric programming language. It's mentioned (and used) in published papers e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10994-019-05821-2. Probably not a good comparison point.

I think a more comparable language would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio...

if people want there to be an article on Odin they can contribute to the current draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Odin_(programming_langua...

brokensegue··on Gone but Not Forgotten: Recovering the Dead Web
Websites can request to be removed. The data is still kept though
brokensegue··on Immich 3.0
it's really not much to manage assuming you are already doing backups. you ~ pay the energy cost either way.
brokensegue··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
You mean neither?
brokensegue··on Good results fine tuning a local LLM like Qwen 3:0.6B to categorize questions
there are models between 2-grams and 600m param models that would be good options. i don't expect a 2-gram to do very well here. also i'm not sure why this model isn't a fine choice if it solves their problem
brokensegue··on Show HN: StartupWiki – A Free Alternative to Crunchbase
you should link your data to wikidata which will get you free connection back to crunchbase and other sources e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97041185

You could even back some of the data from there

brokensegue··on Stop Killing Games fails to secure EU law despite 1.3M signatures
EU tried to ban tracking cookies. Anyone could've seen the result coming (every site now disrupts your reading). The defeatist attitude would've been right there.

I don't see how games won't just charge you a $0.01 "subscription" that lasts 5 years or various other such sidesteps. it'll just make everything more annoying.
