hparadiz··on AI isn’t outthinking mathematicians, it’s out-remembering them
Outside of math you can basically take the entire corpus of research papers on any topic and have the AI read all of it and provide an analysis cross referencing everything all at once. This applies to everyone and everything.
hparadiz··on Could a computer scientist build a brain?
You're confusing multiple concepts.

The tick is at the top of an async jobs queue. The jobs provide the tick with constant updates. And this is not in real time. If you are injured say a sudden injury. You won't even notice until 2-3 ticks after.

Behavior is an emergent property of this. Not it's base.

hparadiz··on Could a computer scientist build a brain?
"Consciousness" is tick based and it does not require a massive human brain. Even the smallest of animals react in real time to stimulus. There's a filter that lowers the amount of tokens the next tick has to process. That's why you can watch a video and two different people will notice entirely different things about it. Forgetting is our brains culling what they process. Being awake eventually degrades that process. You can see this in every study on tokenized llms showing a decrease in accuracy as the context fills up. So too does your brain. That is why we sleep.

Short answer yes. We can build a brain.

As for quantum effects. It's just the machine. Not the mind itself. It's sort of like asking how a CPU works and then expecting that to inform your science on cognition.

hparadiz··on Cursor is now a part of SpaceX
Try getting karpathy guidelines skill. Tends to help with that. I use it universally with all models and all harness.

Sol xhigh is my default rn.

hparadiz··on RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland
Yea I need to know this before I even consider something like this. I'm guessing it's a daemon that runs as root in the background.

Cursor is a subscription. You can use the tui harness called agent without the ide.

When I say "I use cursor" I mean the subscription. In reality I use the cli tui literally called "agent" and the cursor ide isn't installed at all.

The $20 / month isn't as good as Codex or Claude. Codex reset twice this week while I'm sitting waiting for the entire month to role around with Cursor. I have all three so can have a pulse on everything.

All the models are good enough for almost all normal tech job work. If all you are doing is building a react app there's functionally no difference. You'd only want a frontier model to work on something extra complex but even that will be baked into the basic models within six months.
hparadiz··on Grok 4.6
Okay so everyone is blaming diffusion or spying or whatever but we all use all of the models on our various projects in aggregate and they get to all read the code each other is generating. I do this with research tasks and local random stuff too.

So why do people have this idea in their heads that it's all some sorta secret sauce they are taking from each other?

hparadiz··on Grok 4.6
Why is everyone ignoring the pattern that has existed since training models became a thing? At first it sucks. Then it's better than humans. Just by using it you generate training data that makes it better over time.
hparadiz··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
Other models will end up diffusing it and making the signal indeterministic and irrelevant.

I know you're gonna read this so I'll be blunt. This is bad for your brand.

On top of that a sizable percentage of theft victims don't even bother to report it stolen.

They send them to countries where they aren't locked or break it down for parts.
hparadiz··on Show HN: I spent 2 years designing a mechanical Magic Keyboard
Add a finger print sensor at some point. Lovely design.
hparadiz··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
That's just your opinion. Has nothing to do with Linux. And yes I would like a device like a soldered in tpm device that can generate private keys and verify signatures signed with the public key. Your misunderstanding of the technology not withstanding it does appear to me to be quite a valuable technology since it's in basically every computer these days.

Stop speaking for Linux.

hparadiz··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
I don't agree that your example makes sense. Don't feel like writing a wall of text. Zero justification for a locked down system.

It needs to come stock on every Linux laptop from now going forward period. Like you expect a screen to come with your machine. Every Mac has one now and I'm not going back to typing my password in every single time.
hparadiz··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
My professional opinion is that APKs can be de-compiled regardless and that has nothing to do with tokenized payments themselves which are like you said handled through server-server communications at the payment processor level. Your phone simply sends a one time use token to authorize the transaction.
hparadiz··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
The payment doesn't happen on the device. It happens at the VISA/Mastercard/AMEX level. So "the app" should be doing the validation upstream on the server side and simply reporting yes/no to the app. If you hack the yes/no okay but most payments are for physical things IRL so the payment gateway that is not on your phone is gonna be like ??? - in other words it's on the app not to trust a raw true/false signal and instead rely on server side checks. This is all irrelevant. I make regular massive purchases on my linux box where I can read the memory. It doesn't change anything.
hparadiz··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
The crypographic flow that allows payments to work is straight up pub/priv key encryption with one time use tokens. It's not something you can hack. As soon you see the token it's already been used and thrown away. So whatever nonsense about decompiling literally doesn't matter.

Device attestation is how you can use private keys you don't actually have access to. It has a lot of value to literally anyone who wants to store tokens or use one time authentication codes. Linux folks need to implement the full stack and offer an open alternative to payments, secrets, and tokens. In the age of LLMs there is no excuse. It is annoying as hell that I can't buy a System76 or Framework laptop with a fingerprint sensor but a Lenovo comes with one that works on Linux perfectly.
hparadiz··on Discovery of a multicomponent alloy forged by the Hiroshima atomic blast
Metals refining in space or a no atmosphere place like the moon. If an alloy is discovered that has properties we want I can see some future civilization popping nukes like pellets to produce it.
hparadiz··on Most tech revolutions made work worse for employees
All of those problems had nothing to do with technology and everything to do with economic mismanagement. And the commies were the worst at it. The US never had famines even at the worst of the great depression.
hparadiz··on FFmpeg 9.0
Watching ffmpeg go from a niche tool for web back ends to what it is now has been incredible.
hparadiz··on SQLite Critical CVEs or LLM Slop?
There have always been people with no tech experience building startups generating spaghetti code. It's just that now it looks a lot more polished.
hparadiz··on Plug-in solar is coming. Plug-in batteries should follow
It's not even close too.
hparadiz··on Linux desktop market share has hit over 10% in North America
In what universe would I jump from a proprietary OS to another proprietary OS without a damn good reason?
hparadiz··on Plug-in solar is coming. Plug-in batteries should follow
NEM 2.0 doesn't pay as much anymore but that could just be increased grid electricity costs.
