cush··on Anyone else get a vague GitHub shakedown notice?

cush··on Grok 4.5
Grok was originally designed to reply to twitter threads.

Other models are designed to do real work and their creators are concerned that the inherent racism and biases they were trained on from internet content will end up in said real work, so they require additional alignment to filter that junk out.

I can't think of a time where I've ever asked an LLM for it's political opinion, but if you're so concerned about asking your LLM political questions it might be worth getting multiple opinions (and some from human experts and literary sources) anyways.

cush··on What Big Food Did to Ice Cream
I’ve been making ice cream at home for the last few years and I’ll never go back. Store bought is all trash now. If you haven’t had the chance to taste ice cream from a Ninja Creami, you’re missing out!
cush··on Grok 4.5
You're confusing biases (stereotypes, bigotry, racism) with facts (2+2=4 isn't a bias)
cush··on ChatGPT Work
I just downloaded the new dmg and it's the old chatGPT. Maybe they are listening?
cush··on Grok 4.5
It was driven by a need to remove biases (and likely real racism) from the models. They were trained on internet content
cush··on Resetting Xbox
There is absolutely nothing wrong with remaking a 30 year old game if it’s done correctly, and Nintendo usually does it right.
cush··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
imo GameStop ruined it for everyone. Nearly all their profits are from reselling games.
cush··on Nano Banana 2 Lite
I'm way behind in imagegen - only using it occasionally for roleplaying tokens, goofing around, and random personal assets. To me, this is nuts. It's able to create images in like 2 seconds... before with chatgpt it would take 30s-1m for the same quality image. I don't get the negative comments here
cush··on Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
:O
cush··on Is sunscreen the new margarine? (2019)
The study in the article controlled for that
cush··on Is sunscreen the new margarine? (2019)
That’s not what the article said though. It had nothing to do with physical activity. Ironic considering the comment you replied to
cush··on Tidal AI Policy
I suppose. To me, Tidal was always on the side of artists rather than big faceless studios. Now there's an even bigger, even more faceless entity - and it's surprising to me that Tidal is giving them a platform rather than blocking it entirely
cush··on Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
One interesting thing that I couldn't find in these comments or in their docs (even in the https://herdr.dev/docs/preview/concepts/#mouse-ui section), is that Herdr supports native-feeling scroll. You can scroll with your mouse wheel. That to me is a killer feature over tmux
cush··on Tidal AI Policy
This is so surprising coming from Tidal - their entire business was built on high-fidelity, crediting artists, and paying them more
cush··on A way to exclude sensitive files issue still open for OpenAI Codex
Wouldn’t implementing this just give a false sense of security? As long as an agent can execute arbitrary code it can access anything it has access to. Adding a dont-access-my-secrets-pretty-please.yml file isn’t going to help any
cush··on Show HN: Zanagrams
Very satisfying puzzle!
cush··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Including Covid, it’s been like 6 straight years of supply constraints
cush··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Tim Cook said prices were going to increase a few days ago
cush··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Very substantive - that data can be highly sensitive, and I don’t trust all model companies
cush··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Yikes, no thank you
cush··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
It’s hard to see how distillation is any different than how these models were created in the first place - siphoning up all human knowledge without consent, credit, or compensation
cush··on You're probably using Agent Skills wrong
A good agent and harness should notice that an instruction like "You must use tool ABC before calling tool XYZ" is best implemented as a pretooluse hook
cush··on You're probably using Agent Skills wrong
Having agents create their own skills works well if you also give it a layer of verifiability.

Eg. Ask the agent to write a skill then get it to prompt a subagent to use the skill, then iterate until it verifies the task was completed correctly

cush··on Snap Smart Glasses
It’s telling that there are exactly zero photos of these glasses on a human face
cush··on Making espresso with ultrasound
I meant it's better when cooled, not straight off the boil. Bad coffee tastes better when it's too hot to drink. Good coffee tastes better when it's cooled.
cush··on 'Ghost jobs' could soon be illegal in New York
Going door to door and handing out resumes used to be a thing
cush··on Making espresso with ultrasound
It's funny people associate crema with good tasting espresso given the crema is the worst tasting part of an espresso
cush··on Making espresso with ultrasound
There is still pressure
cush··on Making espresso with ultrasound
> coffee get’s so much worse when cold

This is a myth. Bad coffee tastes better when hot because your sense of taste is dulled - reducing bitterness. Also, at higher temperatures, aromatics and volatile compounds are more airborne, improving the smell of coffee. Good coffee is better enjoyed around 60-70C
