macrolime··on Deepseek R1-0528
For some games maybe, but software often has a clause forbidding reverse engineering
macrolime··on Deepseek R1-0528
Not legally. That's the difference.
macrolime··on Google AI Ultra
It's Google. Obviously not.
macrolime··on OpenAI Codex hands-on review
Sounds like you're manually doing something that could form the basis of further reinforcement learning.

Nudging the UI slightly for this exact flow could generate good training data.

macrolime··on Absolute Zero: Reinforced Self-Play Reasoning with Zero Data
Pretty sure OpenAI and/or DeepMind have already been doing something very similar for a while already, just without publishing it.
macrolime··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
They might just want a way to quickly collect data needed for fine-tuning the next generation of programming agents.
macrolime··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
Yes
macrolime··on Technical analysis of the Signal clone used by Trump officials
So this whole app exists because Signal doesn't have a way to archive messages on iPhone. Maybe they should take the hint and see that this is actually something a lot of people would find useful, instead of keeping it the backlog for a decade.
macrolime··on Chain of Recursive Thoughts: Make AI think harder by making it argue with itself
Yet, having the LLM evaluate the tests often works well. Especially if you ask it to look for hardcoded test cases.
macrolime··on Widespread power outage in Spain and Portugal
It must be. Most people I know got their first cell phone in 1997. That year over a few months it went from almost noone has a cell phone, to almost everyone having one.
macrolime··on Claude can now search the web
Deep search/deep research in grok, chatgpt, perplexity etc works much better. It can also do things like search in different languages. Wonder about something in some foreign country? Ask it to search in the local language and find things you won't find in English.
macrolime··on I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days
Can Claude Code also be a devops agent or is it only for coding?

I currently use Cursor as a devops agent, I use the remote ssh extension to ssh into a VM, then Cursor will set up everything, I make snapshots on way in case it fucks up. It's been really great to quickly be able to setup and try out different infrastructures and backends in no time at all. It works well enough that I now do all my development using remote dev with ssh or remote containers on the a server. Having a virtualized dev environment is a great addition to just having git for the code.

macrolime··on Crossing the uncanny valley of conversational voice
This is like saying:

Gogole is great for one thing: brainstorming, and brainstorming is only useful if you have no idea what to do in the first place. Once you know _anything_ substantial about the subject matter Google loses its value to you.

macrolime··on What do people see when they're tripping? Analyzing Erowid's trip reports
It seems likely that HPPD, if it doesn't go away by itself, can be cured by 50-200 hours of practicing focusing on the noise and then trying to consciously move it, changing its colors etc.

There's at least anecdotal evidence of that

macrolime··on Magma: A foundation model for multimodal AI agents
But not multimodal reasoning, the intermediate and output tokens are text only, at least in the released version, they probably have actual multimodal reasoning that's not been shown yet, as they already showed gpt-4o can output image tokens,but that's not been released yet either.
macrolime··on OpenAI O3-Mini
And multimodal o4 should be o4o.
macrolime··on The psychonaut field manual [pdf]
This stuff works, it's just that people interpret what's happening in different ways. You can believe you are visiting an astral plane that is a separate physical dimension or whatever or you can believe you are essentially having a type of lucid dream. There are people who believes regular dreams are seeing the future or visiting alternate dimensions. That doesn't mean dreams don't exist, but it also doesn't mean that dreaming is traveling to some alternative physical reality.
macrolime··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
The trick with AlphaGo was brute force combined with learning to extract strategies from brute force using reinforcement learning, that's what we'll see here. So maybe it costs a million dollars in compute to get a high score, but use reinforcement learning ala alphazero to learn from the process and it won't cost a million dollars next time and let it do lots of hard benchmarks, math problems and coding tasks and it'll keep getting better and better.

macrolime··on Microsoft Confirms Password Deletion for 1B Users
For important sites like your email you'll add multiple passkeys. On less important ones you can just reset which passkey you use to login, using your email, if you lose one of your passkeys.
macrolime··on OpenERV
The ERV itself is for removing CO2, not dust. Especially in cold climates where houses are built to be as air-tight as possible, these are a necessity. Even if you lived in a forest cabin you'd want filters to prevent too much dust and pollen. I've got a dual filter on mine, HEPA and activated carbon filter. The HEPA filter removes dust and pollen. I've found that if I don't use the carbon filter I get higher than recommended levels of NOx.

macrolime··on Ultralytics AI model hijacked to infect thousands with cryptominer
This is why you should never ever use Google Collab.
macrolime··on QwQ: Alibaba's O1-like reasoning LLM
It's possible, in the same way that embedding telemetry in a jpeg image is possible. There may be bugs in the libraries reading the data that could possibly be exploited for allowing arbitrary code execution. Now, if they did so, it's likely to be found out at some point and nobody would trust them any more.
macrolime··on Biological Miracle – Wood Frog
Yeah it does form a clot and a thin skin layer, but it remains somewhat like a wound much longer and is easier to hurt again than scar tissue covers up a wound quite quickly.
macrolime··on Biological Miracle – Wood Frog
Some animals regenerate, some form scar tissue. It's thought that scar tissue is a cheaper and faster mechanism than regrowing limbs and has thus been selected in many cases.
macrolime··on FrontierMath: A benchmark for evaluating advanced mathematical reasoning in AI
No, but both a person and an LLM benefit from learning from rich and varied data over multiple modalities.
macrolime··on FrontierMath: A benchmark for evaluating advanced mathematical reasoning in AI
For one, thinking LLMs have plateaued is essentially assuming that video can't teach AI anything. It's like saying a person locked into a room his whole life with only books to read would be as good at reasoning as someone's who's been out in the world.
macrolime··on Physical Intelligence's first generalist policy AI can finally do your laundry
Pretty sure that once the pre-trained models used for this are pre-trained on lots of video and get larger (2-3 orders of magnitude larger than this), things will quickly improve. This may already exist in prototype form behind closed doors. Think how LLMs have improved since gpt-2 and gpt-3. Though I imagike it in real-time and cost efficiently may be a challenge.
