    I believe it's already well accepted in these labs that we're in the Singularity. It happened on a Tuesday back in February. No one seemed to really notice and life went on... for …

    Of course the government should own everything! How stupid of us for assuming that's a bad idea.

    The OP said "as capable as the frontier cloud models are today" which might assume model improvements that do more with less. Opus 4.7/Gpt5.5 performance might be achievable with a…

    I think it's pretty obvious what category you see yourself in. I don't think you're a hacker. I think you enjoy writing code (good for you). Some of us just enjoy making the comput…

    This statement feels like a farmer making a case for using their hands to tend the land instead of a tractor because it produces too many crops. Modern farming requires you to have…

    He's alluded to thinking that Asians and Indians are "better" on some metrics so supremacy still seems a bit sensationalist. He certainly doesn't think all races are equal.

    This is temporary. AI models have their own Moore's law. Yes the mega corps will have the best models but soon enough what is currently SOTA will be open source and run on your own…

    This just seems like an engineered pipeline of existing GenAI to get a 3d procedurally generated world that doesn't even look SOTA. I'm really sorry to dunk on this for those that …

    A valid rationalization but never an excuse. At some point the buck has to stop being passed around. Standing up to all instances of violence is the only way to stop the endless cy…

    Pixi has also been such a breathe of fresh air for me. I think it's as big of a deal as UV (It uses UV under the hood for the pure python parts). It's still very immature but if yo…

    Well you should tell that to Dell because I have coworkers with a range of their models that are constantly fighting with webcams, audio, bluetooth, wifi, and Nvidia driver updates…

    I used to be in this camp until I tried and bought an M1 Macbook as my daily driver. I thought I was going to be Thinkpad/XPS w/ Linux until I die. I don't love MacOS but POSIX is …

    Is this available to use now in Codex? Should I see a new /model?

    (2) Seems like a media narrative rather than truth. I don't think that would be anywhere remotely high on a CEO's priority list unless they were a commercial real estate company. I…

    It would be interesting to see two versions of a model. A primary model tuned for precision that's focused on correctness that works with or orchestrates a creative model that's tu…

    I took a quick informal poll of my coworkers and the majority of us have found workflows where CC is producing 70-99% of the code on average in PRs. We're getting more done faster.…

    Seems short sighted to me. LLMs could have any data in their training set encoded as tokens. Either new specialized tokens are explicitly included (e.g: Vision models) or the langu…

    You're right. It's time to ban the evil numbers from being matrix multiplied. Contact your local representative about CPU control.

    And LLM memories are stored in an electrical charge trapped in a floating gate transistor (or as magnetization of a ferromagnetic region on an alloy platter). Or they write CLAUDE.…
