drcode··on Meta VR Glasses
fwiw unlike the other person, I use it for hours with my macbook and have no complaints. you will like it if regular vr makes you feel claustrophobic/isolated, since you still see the real world while using it. I don't understand the obsession with extreme text crispness many people have.
drcode··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
"Surely nobody could be so incompetent."

Narrator: "They had the ability to be that incompetent."

drcode··on Cerebras CS-4
not only that, but I was so happy with their GLM 4.8 that they got rid of yesterday :(
drcode··on Research papers using "kidney disappointment" instead of "kidney failure"
yeah lots of kidney shaming in these comments
drcode··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
I'm guessing a new $1000/month tier
drcode··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
I'm guessing a new $1000/month plan if you want access to this
drcode··on I am retiring from fulltime writing (& pseudonymity) to launch Guardian Angel
I have no idea if diplomacy and/or war will end, I just hope we humans get to hang around a few more years

An LLM just solved 10 top tier math problems this week. It seems very likely that in 6 months they will solve 100 top tier math problems, maybe 1 millenium math problem, maybe 10 top tier physics problems, etc.

It's only going to get crazier.

drcode··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
Are you saying it is marketing and their AI broke into hugging face, or are you saying it is marketing and their AI didn't brake into hugging face?

Those are two very different things

drcode··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
they're flailing is what they're doing
drcode··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
the truth is that doom is a high likelihood

sorry we don't lie about that

drcode··on Amateur may have cracked Linear A
Don't know about the situation for this particular example, but keep in mind this type of analysis will necessarily involve extremely archaic dialects of all the involved languages
drcode··on I spent 50 hours drawing a line graph
There are fun japanese mechanical pencils that have built-in rotation: https://www.unibrands.co/collections/kuru-toga
drcode··on OpenAI is connecting ChatGPT to bank accounts via Plaid
The comments here do seem to ignore that rocketmoney exists, and that many people use it
drcode··on OpenAI is connecting ChatGPT to bank accounts via Plaid
It seems like every three years or so I need to use a tool with a plaid link feature, I try it, it gives some internal plaid error, then I find some other way of solving the issue.
drcode··on Googlebook
it's hard to guess who the winners will be in this product category, I would guess openai or microsoft are more likely than google
drcode··on Googlebook
I hope you're right, it would be better for the world if you are

but that's probably not what's going to happen

drcode··on Googlebook
every large corporation is going to come out with a hardware device in the next 12 months where you don't directly use applications, where the AI acts as an intermediary

openai, anthropic, meta, google, all of them

even you will want one of these devices, probably (not saying this is a positive development in the world)

drcode··on AI Resistance: some recent anti-AI stuff that’s worth discussing
we mostly know how to make it understand what we want. we don't know how to make it care about what we want, except via reinforcement learning. there are good reasons to believe rl won't work for this once the ai reaches a certain levels of capability.

drcode··on AI Resistance: some recent anti-AI stuff that’s worth discussing
> At no point in the next 30 years will there not be an active community of people who "loathe" AI and work to obstruct it.

Then I have good news for you: If humanity goes extinct in the next few years because of unaligned superintelligence, there actually will no longer "be an active community of people who loathe AI and work to obstruct it"

please, make a car I can buy with self driving as good as a tesla, so I can sell my tesla and no longer have to support elon.
drcode··on Can Ozempic Cure Addiction?
been on retatrutide a couple of months, used to drink maybe 3 beers a week

now, alcohol has become the least interesting thing in the world, I just can't make myself drink it, it is so strange

drcode··on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used
my comment is that it lowers the threshold to "just doing things"

An experiment where people "HAVE TO DO something" either way is testing something different

I know a fair amount about native android app development now because of using AI to build several native apps. I would know zero about about native android development if I had never attempted to build a native android app.

I have to stretch your analogy in weird ways to make it function within this discussion:

Imagine two people who have only sat in a chair their whole lives. Then, you have one of them learn how to drive a car, whereas the other one never leaves the chair.

The one who learned how to drive a car would then find it easier to learn how to run, compared to the person who had to continue sitting in the chair the whole time.

drcode··on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used
I'm no fan of AI in terms of its long term consequences, but being able to "just do things" with the aid of AI tools, diving head first into the most difficult programming projects, is going to improve the human programming skills worldwide to levels never before imaginable
drcode··on Fedora Asahi Remix is now working on Apple M3
I've been using it for over a year, if there are any trackpad issue now, I haven't noticed any
drcode··on The secret medieval tunnels that we still don't understand
Maybe they needed a place to store the dodecahedrons? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron
drcode··on East Germany balloon escape
I think it's such a crazy idea, even if a 5 year old tell a teacher about it or something, who's going to take the story seriously?
