Surely this is realistic now (or soon) in the form of LLM curation. A few auto-librarians reading everything, looking at different versions side by side, making choices, etc.

"AI, please cure cancer." "Okay, all humans dead, technically a 100% cure."

I hate not being able to use the latest models. There needs to be a much faster resolution to whatever is happening with the federal government.

Hmm. I also recently got a subscription to the NYT. I noticed they sent me a lot of email so I just filtered it with the click of a couple buttons. It's obnoxious but in the minor …

The paper says the professors have a median of 200 comparisons each. It also says they only used 2 models because using more models would require more comparisons and they selected…

I don't understand the "deathbed" perspective. Are you going to wish you made more hackernews comments on your deathbed? Probably not. Does this mean you should stop using hackerne…

This just says 60% of systems, but not the frequency for those systems. They were evaluating 20 systems, so for 12 systems there were mistakes in the prescriptions, but there isn't…

Now that there is proof of communication while dreaming, it is only a matter of time before someone manages to vibe code while sleeping.

Think of it as paying for tokens. The tokens you could buy 3 years ago are better and two orders of magnitude cheaper today. If that happens again over the next 3 years then the to…

3 years ago the best model was DaVinci. It cost 3 cents per 1k tokens (in and out the same price). Today, GPT-5.4 Nano is much better than DaVinci was and it costs 0.02 cents in an…

For what reason would they attack a single school? Some strikes being well some doesn't mean others can't be mistaken.

Now, I guess. They aren't releasing this one generally. I assume they are using it internally.

The difference is you can appeal or ignore a game result. If Ukraine lost a strategy game tournament, would they give up their territory? Or fight to hold it still?

Europe is currently being invaded by Russia and your idea for a "hardliner" course is to start sending Russia money?

This seems like the kind of foolishness it takes a lot of money to believe. Anthropic blew up their contract with the Pentagon over concerns on lethal autonomous weapons and mass d…

"Uh, excuse me. This ad for a payday loan company says the vast majority of households can't afford this thing that most households with children do, in fact, afford and pay for. W…

Median family income in the US is a little over 100k. 400k to afford childcare is a ridiculous lie/error.

If someone is dying of colorectal cancer, trying to get them to worry about their credit score is not only not helpful, it's actively harmful. Messing up your credit for a few year…

Nonsense. There are many ways to get free or reduced price medical care in the US, especially if you are poor. Your doctor will have resources to help you if needed. You can also r…

Aren't all of these things you can do with Claude Code? Granted, the chat app one is novel, but you could ask Claude Code to set that up.

I agree with you that someone who is good with a screen reader can efficiently move through web interfaces. A good screen reader user is faster than the typical user. However, not …

The first email I ever wrote was to Scott Adams. He actually replied! I was a child and had just read and enjoyed one of his older books, maybe the Dilbert Principle. I came from a…

Ah, yes. Trump and friends are in the White House because nobody called them racist. Excellent political analysis.

You can feel animosity towards someone without thinking they've met the elements of a crime.

The 20k model has no subscription? How does that work? Surely it's using a fair amount of compute, isn't it?
