- "How many people died due to Burning man"
- "How many people died going to Burning man".
IMO, distinct questions with distinct answers.
Pretty much all websites these days use AI to make them now.
“Go play video games for me”
“Go create music for me”
Idk. Seems like there is still use for apps.
"Tran argued that he responded reasonably to a perceived sudden emergency caused by the passengers' prior excessive drinking, of which he said he was unaware, & that he could not anticipate that Normandin-Parker would leave his vehicle and wander into traffic."
You think they don't?
Reduce means to take away.
But reduce isn't taking something away. It's combining multiple things into one -- squeezing multiple things together. Reduce is poor verb for that.
It should've been called squash. Just like squash-merge.
You need to think in terms of supply and demand.
The demand is there, but the supply is also going to skyrocket. Free open weights models will contribute to supply too.
There will be a new equilibrium that’s hard to predict.
- it's first image is way earlier: 2KB vs 8KB
- from 8KB to 100KB it's blurrier than AVIF, but it's more pleasing to look at and less blocky than AVIF. I highly prefer it.
- from 100KB until finished 288KB it's actually ~4x sharper than AVIF
Overall JpegXL gives the much nicer experience.

This is what we should’ve been doing a long time ago.
- I prompt better when I can understand the code, when necessary
- I can catch wrong assumptions it made more easily
- Good code helps the AI too, AFAICT
Brent Underwood has spent $30K+ trying to get water on his land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atKOoMvLmTA&t=1s
If we are going to have a government promised right to water, we can't just ignore people that move to places where it's hard to find water.
A lot of rural cities don't even provide water. People have wells and you pay for them yourself.
Does it complete the sentence?
If not then it’s not a next token predictor. Or at least not a good one.
For use as training data you still need some right to it AFAICT.
No good way to get around that except buying an Apple device and taking its key.
If the money was earmarked for import taxes, like it often is for sales tax, then there could be ground to stand on and the customer owed a refund.
It’s a subtle difference but it makes all the difference. Are you buying the product? Or buying the product + specifically paying your import fees only.

If not, then this is just going to lead to confusion.
I’m at a loss for how you would signal all of that without a GPIO.
