Why not both?

That’s old technology now.

That’s like being GenX and saying millennials never learned to use a rotary phone.

Recall the articles claim that efficiency is gaining 2.5 orders of magnitude per year.

Something seems off about this.

Oh wow, I need to customize every app to disable learning from that app?

Next phone is not gonna be an iPhone.

The most optimistic outcome of generative AI leaves us with a technology that warps our perception of reality and crushes labor. The most pessimistic destroys all of humanity.

Our CEOs not only insist we genuflect before these machines but measure our sacrifice and shame our reluctance.

I also enjoy their privacy focused email startmail.com

I’ve been on a SSRI for 5 years and not once have I thought about getting off of it. It literally saved my life.

I remember a while life of depression and constant churn of recursive emotions destroying me.

I’m worried that too many people are downplaying the benefits that this drug for those of us that it has helped immensely. And it’s extra risky to be downplaying it while RFK jr is actively working to remove the drugs from the market.

Actually, I’m a little worried by what this post demonstrates but not the logo or the use of the api.

I’m worried that switching apps and screenshots _doesn’t_ put the logo in. If the point of the switch is privacy, isn’t that a bug? Shouldn’t it apply the privacy screen during any screenshot? What if there was sensitive information on there when you were switching and taking the screenshot?

Smelling toast is a sign of a stroke, right?

Wild to have worked in the industry long enough that 16 years doesn’t feel that long ago.

Parts of the world are literally on fire but the US is redirecting money to halt renewables and towards gas.

The demand for energy is higher than ever due to AI data centers, but I guess the next model is more important than a habitable environment.

Must…

Build…

More…

Datacenters…

But seriously, hacker news routinely denies the obvious when it comes to climate crisis.

I’m sure if we build a few more AI data centers the world will cool down and we’ll stop having all these fires.

Just a few more GPUs ought to fix it.

Yes, atmospheric rivers all winter.

Next year a super bloom then the following year massive wild fires.

rain -> fuel -> fire

I believe it’s mostly due to closeness to the work and actually turning the problem over in my mind. When I use an LLM to code much of the context is lost and my understanding of the solution is diminished. The longer I use it in a code base the less and less aware of the code base I become.

This is also born out in the research which has demonstrated reduced retention of content when authoring was facilitated by an LLM. Over the long term, I believe this is widen a chasm between experienced and inexperienced engineers.

While not all CEOs will feel this way, it will not surprise me that knowledge workers will be treated as disposable, even if their work is invaluable. If they can hire a junior escort for the AI they will. That junior will also be scale goated when things go wrong.

The issue would be that LLMs seem to not improve senior devs productivity. In which case what you are saying is “we shouldn’t use LLMs”

Which I happen to agree with.

Big caveat to the productivity claim is that it’s concentrated in lesser experienced engineers and vanishes or goes negative with highly experienced engineers.

This intuitively makes sense and generally agrees with my experience. LLMs move your baseline towards the mean. If you are below average it improves and if you are above it hinders.

But also in my experience, my memory retention of the work done with an LLM is worse than doing it myself self. This leads me to believe that the lesser experienced engineers are not gaining experience!

My tinfoil hat says that this is what tech CEOs want. They want workers that are low skilled and can be paid less.

Pretty that’s just not true.

Sodium ion batteries are less energy dense than lithium ion and are not prone to dendrite formation. They are also more thermally stable and less likely to do thermal run away reactions.

Also, since they are less energy dense they don’t store the same potential energy.

You are probably thinking of metallic sodium batteries which are completely different.

This sounds like Claude apologizing for making a CRM.

What actually happened???

I did this for two weeks on a side project and still ended up in a situation where I did not have a mental model of the codebase.

There’s no way build that model without building it yourself. I’m more convinced then ever of this.

Looks like AI slop marketing, feels like a scam.

Would not surprise me if Anthropic wanted this to avoid the inference costs of running the latest frontier models.

It also is a good PR for them because it continues to doomer hype loop that’s boosting them.

Crypto investors are migrated to the newest unregulated speculative asset: the stock market.

I don’t know for certain but the amount of retail investing on vibes around AI companies and metals feels just like the crypto peaks. Just the other day Marvell jumped on the words of Jensen Huang and metal ETFs randomly lost tons of investment earlier this year.

Without a lot of the guardrails of the US regulatory apparatus that has been gutted by the current administration, the market is riff with manipulation. Truly another gilded age.

My best guess is that Gemini was trained on the textbooks that the questions are meant to test against, thus they are probably better at explicit recall of those questions or related questions.

This is a pretty limited introductory course based on what it says in the methods of the paper itself.

They all are but generally difficult.

Andes strain is more transmissible but has only been shown to have one super spreader event previously.

My immediate first thought is if the XKCD standards comic

Well then, I won’t be a paying customer then.

You mean Google Chaos Services as we call them?

This read like an AI generated piece and seems to be an advertisement for their product.

Well, now it might.
