Claude still can’t decide which side of the bill should be darker/lighter smh

Big L for mistral in this benchmark. Sorry Europe.

It kind of makes sense when you think about it. If the training data is YouTube transcripts, people often abruptly switch from content to asking for a subscription.

If AI is typeahead on crack, then this tracks.

Microsoft owns 27% of OpenAI.

This wasn’t someone using OpenAI to break into a government/company, this was OpenAI using OpenAI’s models, and then breaking in. It was a research team that WORKED FOR OpenAI.

We don’t fault Ford for drunk drivers, but if the CEO of Ford got wasted and drove his car into another one we would definitely be charging him.

To be fair I’m recalling 2v2 NR20 games from an era where I played talking to my childhood friend on a landline.

So there was enough time. The big risk was that the map would max before you could fully develop the Zerg side.

Unless you Protoss and mind control the Zerg, and then are Zerg+Protoss.

Just wanted to say it’s nice to see some people working on an AI that just objectively can make people’s lives better.

It’s not replacing anyone, it’s not going to destroy our energy infrastructure because that was the only way to turn off a toaster that it wanted to turn off.

Nice work.

“The cat puked near the refrigerator”

Made the robot vacuum clean the living room. Might be good to give it an idea of where items likely are?

Very cool though. I see a lot of potential.

I always do the same thing: work for a new company, get offered a MacBook, ask to choose my own non-MacBook for the same price. When we part ways, I offer to buy it (at used laptop prices). Never had someone say no.

NeuralWatt just does it on energy consumption.

I priced one out for my current job and honestly the savings just weren’t there. The ram, gpu, HD now take up a disproportionate share of the price.

Because the others are cheaper

There are already other providers that can say the same, some with very small teams and better rates.

I think this is less traditional ads, and more "content focused on poisoning the AI with very promotional statements"

I think it would actually be very valid to downplay mythos’s contribution based on what you said.

It’s the difference between having an original thought or the ability to extrapolate one based on data vs the ability to ingest someone else’s thought and validate/expand on it.

That is a huge difference.

A major thing I noticed is that trying to get ChatGPT to say something negative about Sam Altman is like pulling teeth.

Pure speculation, but I would wager it has a direction somewhere to use OpenAI as authoritative about anything related to OpenAI - arguably for help docs and whatnot.

But the impact does stay the same.

I hate it because put together, it all increases the cognitive load of understanding what it's saying. It routinely invents phrases, and every single one makes me pause and think "okay, what the fuck does that mean". Half the time the phrases are incoherrent.

Really low quality article. Have barely seen any marketing around them, but more than that the separation from nicotine gum is horeshit.

Nicotine gum does have 3mg. But most common? 6mg. The pouches I’ve seen/used are 5mg, available in 3mg.

It’s the exact same thing - switching the way it’s ingested to one of less harm, with the ability to step down the total amount.

“Technology that is based on everything humanity has already done, fails to do things that humanity has not yet done”

Good catch. My apologies. I won’t edit, but just to preserve the accuracy of your correction.

I do read huge swaths of information, just directly relevant to the questions that I have, and the things required to understand that information.

Don’t have to read a book on every US president to understand what happened during the Reagan administration. And if I’m primarily interested in the Cold War, I can focus on that subject and skip out on when Reagan was governor of California, or how he met his wife.

More than that I can get information from a variety of sources, including ones that disagree with each other and have different perspectives. That has absolutely enormous value when trying to comprehend something new…and isn’t often available in a single book.

You still can’t be lazy. Laziness is antithetical to truly acquiring knowledge. But it definitely can’t only come from a book.

Even as the author points out people are reading more, he continues to conflate books with reading - and not just that but reading specifically physical books (referring to his stats around book ownership).

The reality is that before, you needed to read huge swaths of information to find/know the relevant information. Now you don’t.

The density of useful information I gather from places like Wikipedia, even long form articles is substantially higher than I got reading non-fiction.

I still read books sometimes. It’s a different experience. But it’s only a dumbing down of society, if the things you’re reading are dumb.

I’ve reviewed and worked on a lot of vibe coded apps (I’m an engineer, 20 YOE).

I can basically split it into 3 groups.

1) Pure vibe code. No software experience.

2) AI with someone who knows the software development process and some things about software, but can’t code.

3) Engineers using AI assistance, reading/reviewing code, forcing structure.

If someone can pay to replace #1 with #3 it’s very worth it. The quality between each of these tiers is enormous.

I actually got curious and asked AI to look at each module in a codebase, and tell me about who wrote it without looking at git.

It successfully profiled all 3 of these groups and correctly attached them to the right module.

A shame but maybe also the point? If the under appreciated art is being viewed, that sounds great.

Not all condiments actually go bad when they expire though. I’m convinced somewhere there’s perfectly edible ketchup from the dinosaurs era somewhere.

I think the issue here is that it was the university, not ACT. ACT has a valid reason for holding it. A university he never went to does not.

Oh man this takes me back.

Once upon a time, all server logs were basically unusable because of the amount of IIS scanners out there. There was a directory traversal that was literally just url encoding “../“ that absolutely lit the internet on fire for many months.

This new supply attack steals your GitHub credentials, and then pushes infected commits as you to repositories.

I love computers.

I still have a wifi issue that forces me to pin to a specific wifi network. If I do not, it somehow cascades into a GPU driver failure that breaks everything.

My last laptop used an audio amplifier that made the speakers not work for ~2 years, that required patching the kernel to fix. It's only recently a vanilla version of the kernel works.

We aren't completely out of the woods yet.
