    Some friendly but direct advice (as I've wanted a clear and up-front shrinkflation evidence website forever): if your goal is to get people to contribute examples, then those landi…

    Here's a little script to download all the publicly available scans (135) as GLBs and stick the metadata in a JSON. The scans are all CC0 (public domain) https://github.com/Inconso…

    You're not calling Sam Altman a liar, are you?

    Why do they care so much? They're a non-profit dedicated to the betterment of humanity via open access to AI. They have nothing to hide. They have no motivation to lie, or lie by o…

    They can't even make Explorer work. They're pathetic.

    VSCode starts up the same as any other IDE, and is responsive and snappy when using it. Explorer starts up about 100 times slower than any other file explorer, and is exceptionally…

    A more interesting question to me (and one where MSFT employees here would have some insight) is to what degree is Windows' recent ABYSMAL fucking quality the result of AI, outsour…

    Looks as thin as the zfold 7 but without the inner display.

    Pff, now Microsoft Word probably sends your document to an AI every second and asks it to send back a PNG that highlights every misspelled word, and it overlays that underneath you…

    When systemd came out people said you were a conspiracy theorist if you said it would be anything more than an init system. Now in the year of our Lord 2025 we're discussing "syste…

    This doesn't seem noteworthy. It's called a context window for a reason--because the input is considered context. You could train an LLM to consider the context potentially adversa…

    I agree LLMs are converging on a current representation of reality based on the collective works of humanity. What we need to do is provide AIs with realtime sensory input, simulat…

    How does Claude Code at $200 compare to their basic one, at $20?

    That's why I only use urinals with dividers, to block ICUP

    MUDs were awesome. Usenet too, IRC, then IM like ICQ and AIM.

    That's the most disgusting sentence fragment I've ever heard. I wish it could be sent back in a localized wormhole and float across the table when Systemd was being voted on to bec…

    A properly setup experiment could distinguish signal from the noise of normal memory variation.

    Is my LLM experiencing real or simulated suffering? How many layers of complexity and real-time stimuli-responsiveness would make the answer to that question effectively unknowable…

    If you were simulating two beings' experiences of the universe and they met and compared notes, you might expect little incongruities where random chance was used in the decisions …

    A large part of the "secret" (?) to its fun is that you can pirate all the music you actually want to listen to. If they had tried harder to stop that the game would've been forgot…

    I deeply crave prosumer hardware that can sit on my shelf and handle massive models, like 200-400B at a reasonable quant. Something like Groq or Digits but at the cost of a high-en…
