At some level, it is worse. The Indian press never sold us citizens koolaid about freedom, talking truth to power, and patted themselves on the back about winning Pulitzer Prizes f…

I don't quite understand this comment. Are you encouraging us to use your comment as some sort of template and insert our own preferred corporate names? Sounds like some crazy leve…

Send Pichai to jail for a week and watch the CEOs of the biggest companies fall over themselves to comply with court instructions.

The other day, I attended an open mic in my hometown and, still buzzing from the experience, wanted to search my hometown's biggest sub to see what they were saying about that open…

Unrelated but I’ve seen and appreciated your posts on some totally unrelated topics - like Vietnam politics and Indian ghost cities and now, Hinton’s history in Compsci. How the he…

Your clients control the number of messages they exchange with each other via the DO. You still have to protect the DO through some sort of auth and/or rate limits. Don’t see how a…

> You got yourself a one-way single-use FTL byte. But you don’t. If I have the entangled version of the MEASURED byte and measure, only I know I’ve measured it. The corresponding M…

https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css Lots of options here.

Apart from an ESL class explaining antonyms, I can’t think of any use case where an API which could equally return “ugly” or “beautiful” can be used. We need embeddings to give rel…

Maybe I’m not the audience for this but how is this a “product”. Coercing LLM outputs into a function call is built into OpenAI itself. What is fructose doing extra here? It’s like…

Supabase is alpha testing column level security as a Feature Preview that you have to enable in your project. I’m using it now. Works well.

Thanks for sharing. Wasn’t aware of this. Will check it out today. For now, I figured I’d have an BEFORE UPDATE trigger which compares the md5(NEW.privileges::text) with md5(OLD.pr…

I’m using Supabase for similar reasons but there’s one specific situation I’m trying to sort out. Say you have a user “profile” which includes their privileges - like say a column …

(Since we're discussing counterfactuals and could-have-beens) In a macabre way, maybe suicidal ideation due to suppressed emotions is nature's way of managing male populations? Wha…

If LLMs can self reflect and accurately score themselves on your three dimensions, why are they spending money on RHLF? They wouldn’t be wasting all that time and money if the mach…

> The bank here had no complaints Didn't they, one by one, stop doing business with him? That's pretty damning. Plus, his guilt was proven in a court of law. Does it matter that no…

I’ll take a judge’s verdict on the topic over yours, if you don’t mind. Trump is on record - in the 2016 presidential debates, no less - claiming that gaming the system (by not pay…

Wow, really puts things into perspective.

I like to classify what to prioritise by how many standard deviations from the happy path a certain issue is. For example, I’m working on a pay-as-you-go SaaS - so the probability …

So the article doesn’t say not to base your self worth on others, it says to recognise that you are basing your self worth on the opinion of others and to plan accordingly.

Just a random thought - maybe Musk was/is so hell bent on removing censorship because he wants more robust data, covering a larger array of thoughts, for his AI plans.

How is anyone supposed to divine that a general English statement about a European MNC was restricted to just America? It’s like me saying “McDonalds has stopped selling hamburgers…

I can sense the truth in your reply. Can you suggest some blue oceans where AI can come handy?

Socially, we have to reduce “riskiness” of IRL approaching people with the intent to date. Right now, it’s scary to want to approach someone only to risk getting roasted for being …

Funnier cos alcohol as a beverage is a solution in the chemical sense.
