Sorry for defending Aristotle? Have we lost the plot as a society?

Claude Design with Fable 5 is an absolute killer app that you’d have to pry from my cold dead hands. I’m not an Anthropic fanboy - Codex has been my daily coding driver for the las…

One can almost smell the vibes. This is peanuts compared to a major cybersecurity catastrophe that’s surely in the making. To give credit to the technology and the people using it …

I'd be scared shitless to even try something like this. There is just a pretty website, a video, and a blog post. No info on the founders, I can't find anything on LinkedIn, just a…

My guide was to pick the best model on "High" for 99% of tasks.

The website linked is an utter mess. In design and performance.

AI can be used in classification, extraction, and synthesis quite effectively. Not to speak of code generation, or like the author says, for research and strategy. In enterprise wo…

His criticism of characters being laid bare at the beginning of the novel is fair, especially in Karamazov. Unlike Nabokov I don't think it detracts from the work.

Dostoyevsky was massively popular way before the USSR. Nietzsche and Freud were huge admirers. His book sold well in Europe in his lifetime. Same with Tolstoy. Sincerely doubt the …

I'm reading Crime and Punishment now. I've previously read Karamazov. I agree that it's not particularly hard reading other than the names. And also, maybe, the characters tend to …

Google Stadia worked like a charm. I put hundreds of hours into it without a single problem. The tech felt like magic.

I studied in a French Lycée in Spain. We did dissertations, brutal 3h live writing tests. There was no problem with it other than the difficulty. Kids didn’t come out screwed up or…

The parent comment is AI generated drivel, that’s why. Incredible that it has generated such a lively discussion.

I don't know what to tell you bro. I type much less code but I haven't stopped thinking altogether. I still write to myself and to others. I read longform. I walk and introspect. I…

I'm sure they think of them as a matter of national security, because they think of everything as a matter of national security, but a few analysts I respect say that the mood ther…

You say soon but what you just described is still sci-fi as far as I can tell.

I’ve seen analyses pointing to the fact that the gap is growing, which would be worrying. I think all the benchmarking and whatnot is not reliable so who knows, but we’ll definitel…

Well, if you believe the people who sell the tokens, you should be creating loops that keep yanking the bandit’s arm.

This is utopian thinking. The products are way too useful to not subscribe. The argument presupposes the worst-case negative-utility in the long-term scenario (AI companies will cr…

It’s perfectly reasonable to believe that a law of marginal decreasing returns will kick in at some point (if it hasn’t already), and that what one point looked like an exponential…

It tests general reading comprehension. Is it possible that a generation with abysmal reading comprehension and attention copiously reads for pleasure? Yes, but I’m very doubtful.

They should ask the Ministry of Culture here in Spain, who claims that reading is on the up and up among 14-24 year olds [1]. Nothing points to that in our abysmal PISA reading res…

Why are they not preaching for protected weights, but public , ie, under state control? What do you feel his posture will be if that is starting to be discussed? Also, on an unrela…

So this is the one, huh?

I don't think at $1,500 you're not forced to code on your own at all, in the sense of typing code. You're simply forced to not yolo-max twelve parallel agents at all times.
