    Would you also consider a database of questions and answers smart? LLM are basically lossy text compression databases with a clever query method. Useful for sure but it’s not think…

    Talk about a giant whiff. I was hoping they would announce their first open weights model, perhaps an older model they don’t offer anymore, but no. Instead he get this bs statement…

    I've been pretty happy with LLM svg based data plots I've asked, including log scaled axises and histograms. Definitely a first world problem of course.

    The construction of data centers brings jobs, most of the running of data centers is done remotely. There are more security guards than on site tech workers. Just look at the size …

    I suspect they knew if oil can’t move out of the gulf, then US oil will gladly step in. Republicans have always had to be Oil company supported. Just look at the number of oil tank…

    Then it would be fair game to have an AI answer the hiring AI questions. After all, they now require the use of AI on the job right?

    “annualized revenue run rate” is a bogus accounting term. It’s like taking a paycheck and multiplying it by 365. Notice the complete lack of any mention of profits.

    I asked it to write a python program to find the intersection of a line and a circle and it one shot it. Asking for a Swift version worked as well. Rust version goofed with lines o…

    I’m old enough to remember when one checked the assembly a compiler generated because early on they produced terrible assembly. Eventually they got good enough to not needing to ch…

    What I found interesting is nanoclaw isn’t a working product out of the box. You must use a coding agent to complete it with features you want. For example add iMessage support, et…

    I’m using this but using gpt-oss-120B instead of a cloud service. It has been eye opening when I realized the LLM is beings used as a compiler. I asked it to add apple iMessage and…

    What’s interesting is Anthropic being singled out here. That either means: 1- OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc have no problem with their products being used to kill people s…

    I read his book “A new kind of science” and quickly figured out why it was self-published. My goodness it’s bad and need of an editor. A big disappointment as I’m a fan of his tech…

    Last night, I was able to modify nanoclaw, which runs in a container, to use iMessage(instead of whatsapp ) and use GPT-OSS-120B(instead of Claude) hosted on a Nvidia spark running…

    After Claude failing to fix a bug after 4 attempts, I wrote this prompt and sure enough the bug was fixed. lol. > no it still doesn't work. Do I have to let OpenAI fix this or can …

    Young me remembers fondly poking and peeking system memory locations to see what happens. The manual, if I remember right, had a table of memory locations to system settings. Thing…

    And yet Tesla won’t take responsibility for FSD mistakes. I had one and it’s amazing when it works but it did try to kill me a number of times.

    OpenAI and Microsoft have defined AGI as a revenue number so yeah maybe using that definition. I believe AGI will require the ability to self tune its own Neutral network coefficie…

    I’ve been doing the same with GPT-OSS-120B and have been impressed. Only gotcha is Claude code expects a 200k context window while that model max supports 130k or so. I have to do …

    The M-series unified memory is built into the chip itself, not separate components. Of course Apple is going to maintain their margins, but it’s easy to see why with this design mo…
