I don't trust facts from humans. When I am searching for something, I usually want to find direct sensor readings. As soon as a number is involved, I do my best to not even look at…

Honestly, tbh it just looks like a skill issue when looking through their feed: https://x.com/EFF Making content platform "native" and garner attention is hard work and while their…

this blog post will be a great barometer of commenters who read the post vs those who don't

57. I got a ton of shape rotation problems. Figured out a strategy for those: Focus on the 3 pronged shape. It is unique in all 4 orientations. You can use this to filter out bad r…

I think this flips at the frontier which may be what Tao is commenting on.

Never thought I'd see the day where HN needed a community note.

An easy way to make all LLMs somewhat good at chess is to make a Chess Eval that you publish and get traction with. Suddenly you will find that all newer frontier models are half d…

@dang: could we get url to include the username since this isn't about Obsidian itself, but rather a user generated blog?
