Maybe it’s fixed now, but works on my iPhone 17

Yes, they did it to break the association with their brand (“reputation laundering”) and then they got into 3D to throw some chaff. Seems to have worked for them.

I so want to see this.

Unitary executive theory has diverted justice resources towards more pressing matters like seashell arrangements on beaches.

I can’t believe some still believe that humans are intelligent, despite there being no place where matrices are multiplied. All they have are these networks of interconnected cytoplasm-filled microtubules, which is no proper place for intelligence to live.

Moving the goalpost metric from rank to MAUs just to make sure you can properly glaze the fascist. Nice.

Jack was just working within the limit set by fucking Friedhelm Hillebrand.

But whose success is it? Twitter was ranked 13th largest in 2021 before he bought it. Let that sink in.

Does that mean that the ARM processors in the writeup are not satisfying IEEE 754?

My favorite Negativland work is “Prologue/Helter Stupid”. It never fails to hit me in the feels by the time that final “that is correct” lands and you hear the sirens in the distance.

“Novelty” is a stretch. There’s a lot of headless code in the world.

the long pause is the JVM starting up

I'm still not sure the real difference isn't just where people draw the line in generalizing what it means to "see" and "hear" things.

My dreams are more vivid than when I imagine an apple, but I still call it "seeing something in my head"—even when I know that it isn't exactly like "seeing"—and the sensation is different enough that I wouldn't blame someone if they chose to avoid calling it "seeing" something.

How can we be sure that we're not just labeling the experience differently?

Gemini 2.5 Pro is the only model with a sense of where a ferris wheel operator would be.

What’s it like to dream while you’re sleeping? Do you ever “see” anything then?

Narrator: there were no allegations of magic.

I recently replaced the battery in my Series 6. I’ve never noticed it feeling slow.

Amusing, but do people actually prompt in the style of any of the options given? All this for what is ultimately a PEBCAK error.

Was expecting to learn whether The Onion knows I'd vote for Joad Cressbeckler.

This was a plot point in ST:SNW S4E1

There are hundreds of benchmarks. You just need to pick a favorable dozen on release day.

Does the word "flash" mean a specific thing when it comes to LLM models? I noticed that this word is used by gemini, qwen, and z.ai and I'm curious does it mean the same thing for each one, or did they all just accidentally brand similarly?

Nitter and Xcancel should just announce that they’re training an LLM. Seems to be a get-out-of-scrape free card these days.

No, but there’s more incentive to propagate the trope of you or your friends find themselves in a position where downplaying a federal indictment is a PR move you’d want to make. Yes, that could be anyone, but the indictment rate by party of administration sure is an interesting statistic.

You don’t know that. Also, fixing bugs is good.

More color to this tidbit:

He was a republican. He wanted to stop using grand juries to bring indictments, so he wasn’t impartial in his assessment.

Unrelatedly, he had an affair with a republican fund-raiser. When it ended, started making threats to kidnap her daughter, who was 14 at the time. He sent a sexually explicit note to the daughter, enclosing a condom.

He got a 15-month prison sentence.

This is who republicans are quoting whenever they repeat the phrase that “you can indict a ham sandwich”.

The real force behind the low no-true-bill rate for federal grand juries is that the DoJ had extraordinarily high standards for themselves before they even approached a GJ. They had to believe they could convict and sustain on appeal. They haven’t lived up to those standards for a couple years now.

Everyone was saying they shouldn’t just accept the LLM’s output without cautious review. Seems they took the time to make sure it was a good release. Not sure why that doesn’t sound like a valid reason not to rush to you.

Be honest, though: had they shipped earlier—which they probably could have safely done—they would have been called “reckless” by the detractors. There was no way to make them happy here.

If there’s only 3 copies in existence, and everyone on the frontier wants it in their corpus, what do you think will happen?

I don’t think so. The ChatGPT app was, which is the “Classic” app now. The Codex app that they’re carrying forward is an Electron app and if you forget to quit it before you walk away it’ll make even your M5 Max unresponsive eventually. Sad days.
