razorbeamz··on How Japan's railways stayed one while splitting apart
Yeah, it's always obvious when this kind of thing is written by someone who has only ever been to Japan as a tourist, if they have at all.

Just a deep fundamental misunderstanding of how things work.

razorbeamz··on Midjourney Medical
This is absolutely a scam. Seems incredibly fishy.
razorbeamz··on A Nipkow Disk Mechanical TV Simulator
The flavor text is very Claude.
razorbeamz··on LLMs Will Replace 8-Track Duplication Engineers
True but irrelevant.

This 8-track duplication puzzle is a problem of math.

razorbeamz··on LLMs Will Replace 8-Track Duplication Engineers
> But LLM can write code that can do math and count.

They cannot, however, execute that code. They can feed that code into an external program they've been given access to, but they can't execute it themselves.

razorbeamz··on LLMs Will Replace 8-Track Duplication Engineers
No, they fundamentally cannot do math. They are next token predictors, not calculators.
razorbeamz··on LLMs Will Replace 8-Track Duplication Engineers
LLMs are not the ideal tool for this job, because LLMs cannot do math or count.
razorbeamz··on Pac-Man, but you're the ghost
Pac-Man Vs. is also available on the Switch.
razorbeamz··on Firewood Splitting Simulator
That's because the AI that generated this doesn't know what splitting wood is like.
razorbeamz··on Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
This will be an excellent demonstration of what AI is incapable of.
razorbeamz··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
That's just America.
razorbeamz··on Squares in Squares
Looks like Hiroshi Nagamochi did all the boring work.
razorbeamz··on AI Wearables Are Coming but They'll Need to Pass the Coffee Shop Test to Survive
If this is anything like that stupid AI pin it's going to fail.
razorbeamz··on America's Most-Spoken Languages After English and Spanish
Very surprised Navajo is so strong.
razorbeamz··on Googlebook
My wife also got upset with me over this.
razorbeamz··on The locals don't know
I think the writer of this misunderstands "tourist trap."

Tourist traps, at least as I see it, are places or activities that are more expensive than they should be.

For example, a tourist trap in Tokyo is going to the top of SkyTree. It's not something locals can really reasonably afford doing more than once, because it's really expensive. The price is such that basically only tourists would do it.

razorbeamz··on Pinocchio is weirder than you remembered
LLM written article.
razorbeamz··on Ask HN: What Makes AI a Bubble?
Because too many new companies are popping up with the business model of "We're going to use AI" and they don't actually have any explanation for how or why they're going to use AI.

This is just like the Dot Com Bubble, where a lot of companies popped up saying they were going to "use the internet" without actually having a plan.

razorbeamz··on Flipdiscs
I think it's just a simulation of what it could look like if it were flipdiscs.
razorbeamz··on The Hottest Phone for Kids Right Now Is a $100 Landline
I have a hard time believing kids actually are wanting this thing.

Parents wanting it for their kids, sure. But every kid would rather have an iPhone.

razorbeamz··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
> There is something darkly comical about using an LLM to write up your “a coding agent deleted our production database” Twitter post.

Which calls into question if this is even real.

razorbeamz··on Isopods of the world
The photos are all either stolen or AI generated.
razorbeamz··on Isopods of the world
On close inspection, this does not appear to actually be Nick Bay's website, but rather someone impersonating him.
razorbeamz··on Isopods of the world
> I recognize the photographer

There is curiously nothing on his website about this isopod site.

razorbeamz··on Isopods of the world
The people who are saying that this is not AI are either being misled or they are lying.
razorbeamz··on Isopods of the world
This is raw AI slop, easily identified as such the second you see it.

100% generated website from the code to the text to the pictures.

razorbeamz··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
Here in Japan every fucking food truck uses them for pictures of their menu, which really pisses me off because it's not representative of their food at all.
razorbeamz··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
Neither of them drew them in an 8-bit style either. It's way too many colors.
razorbeamz··on The Onion to Take over InfoWars
I hope Dan and Jordan can get the desk like they've always wanted.
razorbeamz··on Not buying another Kindle
I was curious and just tested this with directly putting an ePub on my Kindle and it did not work.

I also tried renaming the ePub to a .kfx and it still did not work.
