have you seen this? is a great explanation why complex numbers are "numbers that like to turn"

can you tell if you flip -1 and 1? or just the i and -i axis is special

Researchers use it to write the papers themselves: https://www.science.org/content/article/far-more-authors-use...

platform independent UIs exist - HTML and Electron

I was thinking that in principle you could use intricate laser beam patterns to direct the construction of self-assembling molecular structures from existing atoms at interstellar distance, thus basically construct nano-bots that will construct a computer that then you can upload an AI into.

After you read all the fluff, the real purpose of this website is at the end of each article:

We’re a lean, fast-moving lab made up of some of the world’s most talented minds. We have an exciting roadmap of compute at MAI, with our next-generation GB200 cluster now operational. And we have an ambitious mission we truly believe in.

They outsourced production to China thinking that they can just do the marketing in US.

Now they learnt that Chinese can do marketing too.

Related, Microsoft CEO said that soon the biggest client of Microsoft is going to be agents, not humans.

there's an infinite amount of ways to delete a file. deny listing commands doesnt work.

python3 -c "import os; os.unlink('~/.bashrc')"

I do to. Except I can't be burnt since I start each claude in a separate VM.

I have a script which clones a VM from a base one and setups the agent and the code base inside.

I also mount read-only a few host directories with data.

I still have exfiltration/prompt injection risks, I'm looking at adding URL allow lists but it's not trivial - basically you need a HTTP proxy, since firewalls work on IPs, not URLs.

the fact that I didn't know about this shows you the problem

the most surprising thing is why they didn't change this terribly long and impossible to remember name which completely killed them after all these years

yes, yes, I know why it's named like that

have you tried turning the computer off on on?

MicroVMs seem to be getting more popular.

I wonder how they fit into the picture.

your OS might have a built in dictation thing. Google for that and try it before online services.

I did a similar thing.

put an example in the prompt: this was the original Django file and this is the rewritten in SvelteKit version.

the ask it to convert another file using the example as a template.

you will need to add additional rules for stuff not covered by the example, after 2-3 conversions you'll have the most important rules.

or maybe fix a bad try of the agent and add it as a second example

which is why a lot of services now prefix they keys with a fixed string like pat_, sk_,

Github Copilot too

like Backblaze was purchasing HDDs from retail store, so will (small) AI providers

so between 0 (good) and 100 (bad), what would be your gray score "badness/evilness" value for the following: Russia, US, China, EU

yes, i know, it's not a linear axis, it's multi-dimensional perspective thing. so do a PCA/projection and spit one number, according to your values/beliefs

new CPUs have built in memory encryption with random key. activate it for an additional layer on top of your glue

it's called TSME on AMD

Russia already does that - poisons the net for future LLM pretraining data.

it's called "LLM grooming"

in general the consensus on HN is that the web should be free, scraping public content should be allowed, and net neutrality is desired.

do we want to change that? do we want to require scrapers to pay for network usage, like the ISPs were demanding from Netflix? is net neutrality a bad thing after all?

either you only notice the xxx_yyy frequent posters or it's quite interesting that so many have this username format

"it's difficult to make someone understand a thing when his job depends on him not understanding it"

so you're telling me there will be money for about 100 top streaming programmers

person whose job is to not be replaced by AI saying AI is hype is what I get from your comment

HIGs change. what made sense for people who first used computers in their 30s might not make sense for people which used them since 7

when compiler appeared assembly programmers would complain all day how ugly and inneficient the generated code was

if you want to get the productivity gain you need to figure out how to solve the code review problem

if you back and forth with the model, and discuss/approve every change it does, that's the problem.

you need to give it a bigish thing so it can work 15 min on it. and in those 15 min you prepare the next one(s)
