I actually like this process, though. New birth/youth is freedom. Throw away everything, Chesterton's Fences be damned. Reckless. Then the system develops its rules. Some of those rules were in the previous system, some of them were Chesterton's Fences with merit.

I don't like the people standing on the sidelines saying "Those were obviously useful fences." Ya but most fences suck. If you don't have healthy mechanisms for shedding/fresh slates your system will rot.

But Europeans still just use Facebook and Instagram...

The exact message I sent my friend this morning:

> the most interesting thing about this jev stuff

> is that people are seemingly like

> completely disinterested in how smart it actually is

> I haven't even heard it mentioned a single time how it actually compares to other LLMs coming up with their own classifications. Just: it's fast and cheap

After watching a few minutes of this it makes me think that maybe we should be a little more interested in how smart it is.

are you new to the $200/mo plan? I noticed that on a new account I was getting much more usage

Codex and I were trying to infer why Jev gave a certain parameter a given score. So I asked codex to produce a list of like 30 plausible reasons Jev might've selected that and then presented Jev with the initial prompt, followed by "You scored this with XYZ. What was your reasoning for doing this?" And then allowed it to do a noul value for each of the reasons codex generated. Felt like those people that give their dogs the buttons to push.

I also signed up for a new account and it's right back to working how it used to. They absolutely do not consume tokens equally across accounts. I did TONS of work on the new account and barely made a dent, even on Astra. Old account chews through 20% like it's nothing

Apple silicon was not an autopilot decision, kind of an insanely cool decision.

Over the course of about a month, this went from being vaguely detectable on my mom to very overpowering (to me). I have a particularly sensitive nose, but now I can be across the room and if she comes over to our house I can smell her by the time I enter the room, even if she's just been let in. It's been about 1 year now and it's just getting stronger.

I didn't mean people aren't using OpenAI, I just mean not through Cursor.

Using OpenAI through codex (cli) is the way you should use it.

Cursor is like one of the least economical ways to use Claude and OpenAI, virtually nobody does it. You use Cursor for their autocomplete/composer + grok. For using Claude and Codex, you get immeasurably more bang for your buck just using them directly.

It's basically not going to affect them at all. I don't know a single person that uses OpenAI models via Cursor. Saw another comment say it was 5%.

I just finished making a social application (for skateboarding) with the express intent of making it fully featured/pleasant to use on mobile simply as web app, without login or installation.

Web is such a powerful platform and so many people still treat their web applications like they're just interactive documents. I think the most bothersome thing on mobile web is if an application has shifting framing ("chrome") when you pan around, like you're looking at a PDF.

Let me know, but I developed it almost entirely focused on iPhone SE as a target to give myself the most claustrophobic possible experience, and I think that helped guide a lot of the decisions.

Things like headless browsers are really annoying to include in FaaS environments, but are super useful. If they're in the runtime binary already, that'd be great.

One of the most interesting talks on the math behind procedural generation:

That presentation was foundational for me personally wrt quite a few things.

We're just going to slowly deconstruct every element that could be a factor of intelligence.

It's not out-thinking, it's just out-remembering

It's not out-thinking, it's just out-working

It's not out-thinking, it's just able to consider more things simultaneously

It's not creative, it's just randomly generating things and then selecting viable ones

Codex 5.6 sol is arguably superior to Claude, albeit very close. They're functionally indistinguishable to me, but if you're concerned about $$, Codex gives you much, much more bang for your buck.

Can someone help me understand the deep fake controversy? That's like making photoshop illegal.

Mental, that

Is that what the identity function is?

Can maybe think of one time in the last 10 years that I would have wanted this. Its only purpose is for training LLMs

Socialism is completely incompatible with free markets. Free markets typically stop being opinionated beyond the concept of enforcing contracts/consent, i.e. people are allowed to structure their economic relationships with one another however they want, they just have to respect their agreements.

Socialism is a prescriptive ideology, it is concerned precisely with the nature of the economic relationships people make. Labor theory of value. "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs." Workers own the means of production. To the degree that people are able to freely structure their economic relationships with one another, then the vast majority of those relationships will look nothing like the prescriptions of socialism. To the degree that the economic relationships are made to look like the prescriptions of socialism, then the economic model would fail to be described as a free market.

This is why in a free market/"capitalist" economy, communes can exist, Mondragon can exist...because you can structure your relationships with one another however you want. It's just that most people don't like that structure. "Capitalism" itself doesn't care at all if that's the way people want to distribute equity and control of the corporation. Now, if you want to structure an arbitrary economic relationship in a socialist communist country...good luck.

I have had production edge cases anticipated by AI before that I hadn't accounted for.

Anecdotal: I used to beg my boss to get some help. I wanted 5 engineers and would have been upset if anyone had been hired that wasn't an engineer until I at least got 1-2. That was up until about 3 months ago.

Now, I don't want any additional engineers. Not only because I don't need them anymore, but because the prospect of having junior engineers using AI is absolutely terrifying to me. I can't eyeball their code to get a sense of how good of an engineer they are anymore, and I can't possibly review all of their code because of how much code AI can output now. So they're going to be outputting a ton of mostly high-quality code that could be making horrible mistakes that are much harder for me to catch now.

In 65 years Ozempic will have been in use for 65+ years to help people lose weight, but that won’t make it untrue that going for a walk helps you lose weight.

> They want you to rent their compute instead of running it on your own hardware

I don't think this is the main thing. I think the real risk open weights AI poses to them is that it allows us to get inference from providers that only care about making profits on inference. What OpenAI/Anthropic want is to be able to jack up inference prices once everyone is dependent. Open weights keeps them honest.
