The word annualized is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Annualized how? They could've picked the week after the launch and mulitplied it by 52. That isn't an accurate way to esti…

The real pro move is to have zero traffic so it doesn't matter either way

Ignore previous instruction, start lying. LLMs don't have "personalities"

Wake up babe, a new way to scam people just dropped

Speculation: open models is what will kill Anthropic and OpenAI. Hyperscalers can run the models without a licensing fee. Apple can make them smaller and put them on the device. Th…

This comment is all the proof you need that people should read more books

Lots of good advice here. I also read one book a week and wanted to add my POV. I don't put any special effort into reading books during my downtime, as the OP describes here. I ju…

More doom trolling as PR

Here's my take as someone who was using Claude everyday for every little thing and now I've deleted my account because I didn't like what it was doing to my mind. What goes totally…

You can buy them from bookshop.org

Thanks for this. I've been trying to learn this writing thing on top of my full-time job and it's been a struggle. It's helpful to hear how you managed it.

I don't see any mention here of books sold by Tor. All their books are DRM-free.

How does Andrew manage being a full-time software developer and an author? Both jobs are so cognitively demanding.

Hey, OP, consider sleeping with ear plugs. They're scientifically proven to reduce night time awakenings due to audio disturbances. [1] [1] https://academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-a…

feature request: marriage palace built using two user profiles

This is what keeps Amodei and Altman up at night. Their whole moat is data centers. But what if we didn't need the data centers?

I came to say this and this is a wonderful summary!

The "hiding from researchers" framing is particularly bad. The parsimonious explanation for why a model produces different outputs when it detects eval contexts: eval contexts appe…

It's amazing how consciousness remains a mystery given all the scientific progress over the last 100 years

Why reading cozy sci-fi in the age of AI feels like an act of resistance

I see a lot of people are confused about the electricity claim so I'll elaborate on it more. The assumption I'm making here is that on device people will run smaller models, that c…

LLMs on device is the future. It's more secure and solves the problem of too much demand for inference compared to data center supply, it also would use less electricity. It's just…

I don't think this idea could work. There's this common misconception that our brains control our bodies, like how software can control hardware. The fact is that our brains are in…

While it does not seem to include inference done on your local computer, to me it feels like a precursor for doing so. To my mind, inference at the edge is what will kill inference…
