I like how the “Chinese propaganda” against datacenters was found to be mostly a collection of facts. That's not my understanding. Got any credible links that back up this point?

What are you talking about? I can make a Myst-class game by next weekend, for practically no money. The audience won't like it because they have beef with the tools I'd choose to u…

And what if my grandma is Admiral Hopper. I wonder if there's a way to argue for or against paternalistic corporate gatekeepers without invoking sexism, ageism, or both?

Excellent point. Why, indeed.

Hilarious thing is, if I want a JDK, I'll ask Fable to write one, get Sol to review it and write tests for it, and it will be working by Monday morning. No need to get permission o…

That's not really what I mean. You don't have to diagnose the signal, just the medium, which can tell you what will happen to the real signal. It requires a fast edge (or a very br…

Someone could do an equivalent-time sampling instrument for not much money, if the market were there. It's probably not, though.

How are you running it on a Strix Halo? The weights aren't out yet, are they?

Broadcast TV seems laughably irrelevant. The people who watch it vote in numbers far out of proportion to their peers. Nobody would bother to capture the industry if it weren't wor…

It's interesting, in that every market where Musk has succeeded has been one in which the incumbents were either lazy (space launch), incompetent (satellite ISPs), or nonexistent (…

Except this time it works. A lot of what's happening now is the (very) belated delivery of what everyone was talking about when they talked about "expert systems."

Other sites beckon.

Couple of things come to mind. One is that Web sites tend to actively fight AI companies' crawlers while actively courting Google's crawler. Another is that they hold the key Trans…

Not a great test case, considering how much of the artwork in-distribution for that type of image will have age-yellowed lacquer.

If it has any safeguards at all, I don't think they've been found yet... and /r/unstablediffusion has been trying.

Not a great time to announce a pile of closed-weight excuses and locked gates when MiniMax-H3 just dropped. Qwen lost some key people after 3.6 and it looks like we're seeing the c…

And boy, will this thing make Disney mad. Least-censored model of any type I've ever seen from a major lab.

TBF, if an evil SPECTRE-level corporation with global tentacles and Tolkien-inspired omniscience can't manage to quash some bad PR on Hacker News, none of its prospective customers…

1. AI replaces a non-trivial fraction of human employees. I mean, it's pretty clear that's going to happen. How could it not? The only question is whether resources are optimally a…

As someone with a PhD in combinatorics, you're aware that it takes only one counterexample to invalidate a conjecture. There's nowhere else to move the goalposts. You've already st…

What I'm talking about has only become possible in the last few months. Within a year you'll start to see new products built this way. Within five years you will see very few new p…

I'm responding specifically to the GP's point: 'And no, "Check that the software works as intended" is not going to cut it, as AI are very, very good at obeying the letter but not …

Ask Kim Schmitz. (Yes, I know, NZ is nowhere near Australia, the point still holds.)

Around 2020 I started getting downvoted for predicting that while the most popular programming languages at the time were Python, Java, and JavaScript, or whatever they were, the m…

Been doing it for the past several weeks. It is no longer correct to say that LLMs can't/don't/won't exercise reasonable aesthetic judgement on the finished product. Immense progre…
