It won't happen in our lifetime. American's are yet to fully understand the impact, it will take 50 years or more to go back to 2024.

Indistinguishable or very mildly better. But it's considerably faster. Some portion of that is also probably down to improvements in model harnesses, I've been using opencode.

I've been running Qwen 3.8 27b (an opus 4.6 tier model), locally on a 5090 for just over two weeks @ 170 tokens/s. That's a frontier model from 9 months ago running on consumer hardware. Who knows where distillation and pruning gets us in another year.

my first guess is always Gboard.

Kids are not training LoRas without a big budget. I fought for $5 from my parents, I could write C for free.

Context?

I'm going to remove specific reference because I think even being directed to the right thing is dangerous. You are right.

.

yes - I don't want to publicize what I know. I worked briefly at a leading university bio lab. It's haunted me for awhile that it would only take 1 disgruntled postdoc to wipe out humanity. There are {AI things} now that will tell you how.

I understand that this is research worth doing, but for the love of god, they need to improve the messaging of this to the general public because, as it currently stands, it's outright hysterical.

nightmare horseshit, don't waste your tokens

Reads like an onion article. I've gone to great lengths to avoid ads - but it's a war I am losing. Content is now interleaved with ads at the creative stage in subtle (and not so subtle) ways, this inexorable convolution occurs even on formerly alternative spaces. Let me pay, I want to pay, I'll pay a lot, just stay out of my fucking head.

AI or not - can we agree to stop doing this now that AI has ruined it:

"But the thing I can’t get past is Fort Huachuca’s failure mode.

Not: the freezer compressor died.

Not: the power went out.

Not even: the refrigeration system stopped cooling.

Every freezer went into active defrost."

was expecting umberto eco after the first few - I'm sure you've either read him or desperately should!

great - that still requires something

I do think one day that LLMs may be so 'aligned' that hacking culture will have a resurgence in some way. In the sense that the only way to do anything a bit below board will be done manually.

In a legal sense any unwanted intrusion can be considered hacking - i.e. a 'hack' is not contingent on penetrating authorization. In practice most APIs are secured by obscurity rather than any high quality rigorous authorization. The only thing it would make absolutely clear at a legal level is that you do not want the API to be publicly used, but for a jury/judge accessing an unadvertised API via browser tools is hacking.

Generally any material you intentionally delete after you are told to hand over evidence is considered to be the most incriminating version of that material in a court of law.

This would still be destruction of evidence - virtually your only defense against that would be if it was not triggered by you.

Because empirically people are happier when they work. When you decompose work into it's constituent parts - there are a bunch of incredible psychological things (meaning, responsibility, societal integration) and not so incredible things (toil, labor, chronic stress). When we are not working we do things that mimic work, we just don't call it so.

The cycling equivalent is your power curve, i.e. the longest you've held a power for a certain time interval.

"Equidistant" is not a good metric for convenience. The most convenient pubs are nearly always someone's local or the midpoint between everyone's workplace.

Nightcall was kind of the anthem of my life for my early 20s. Still captures a moment. RIP.

If you are seriously interested and this isn't just some automated slop experiment you should look into and understand how VLMs and vision encoders work.

Jewelry is a veblen good whose price is mostly based on provenance. I'm not sure any classifier could do anything but guess on surrounding context.

Insurance classifiers are much less naive than you'd expect, btw. I have designed a few.

"I’ve activated pro. Can you continue to look for a potential geometric explanation of the X_3 ~ A3 miracle that avoids coordinates or other unmotivated constructions ?"

It is, and has been for a long time, a concious choice for apple to avoid gaming.

Wait how many levels deep is this...

I guess you're fine commuting home in the dark? But regardless, you can navigate without light an hour before sunrise.
