This is the perfect archetype of an intellectually lazy anti-AI post. The author ends with his admission of bias, but he'd be better off starting with it, as it's clear that his re…

Will the Presence also hack its way out of its sandbox and into a 3rd party's system if it decides it needs to?

It's sad to watch corporate leadership try to fix problems with tactics that will only make them worse. MS bought successful studios who were successful precisely because their of …

This is a bit like going back in time to the beginning of the industrial revolution and estimating the impact of a mechanisation based on comparing the speed of early mechanical lo…

I don't think you would expect to get into a flow state if you were intermittently directing another (human) programmer to do work, and you shouldn't expect to with LLM-driven codi…

It's weird to see people claiming that model capabilities are plateauing. It wasn't until late last year that we even had strong coding models. Imagine if, less than a year after t…

Only if those losses are coming from subscriptions, instead of capex and training, which is not at all clear.

This gets posted every time GitHub is down. This chart is not accurate. It is based on data scraped from GitHub's status page and that data is missing historical incidents from the…

For what it's worth, pre-agricultural hunter-gatherer bands, i.e. the kind of structure humans actually evolved to live in, do seem to be relatively immune. They consist of a group…

So you're complaining that his actions matched his words? He didn't make compute deals until he saw the growth necessary to justify them. As a result, they're paying over-the-odds …

I don't think that is true though. The spec make it clear that it only has access to a limited subset of the JS standard libraries and specially registered foreign functions: > An …

How can a subset of JS do "everything" that JS can do?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but doesn't asm.js have the same restrictions? I.e. you can't call web APIs directly from asm.js code, you still need special handling for "foreign" f…

And I’ll bet you can cite us a whole list of Rogan podcasts explaining why, eh?

Presumably recruitment and PR for the air force, and morale for the aviators, as they can show off their training and skills to friends, family and the general public.

It’s amazing to see some people talk with 100% confidence about the macro view of AI assisted development when we have had strong coding agents available for less than a year.

The graph is not accurate, because GitHub's historical downtime data is not accurate. For example, here is a Hacker News story about GitHub being down on July 28th 2016: https://ne…

Call me crazy, but I'm not sure I'd want to be the person building these kind of systems given A) how much increasing independence and power is being given to models like Claude an…

They tested for this. From the paper: “We find little evidence of steganography in our NLAs. Meaning-preserving transformations, like shuffling bullet points, paraphrasing, or tran…

Ironically, your comment is practically incomprehensible.

I think a primary concern when Apple evolves their new design language nowadays is competitive differentiation. Because so many people try to clone their UI, they seek to add visua…

There are many companies making money off alcohol addiction, video game addiction, porn addiction, food addiction, etc. Should we outlaw all these things? Should we regulate them a…

Sexual and intimate chat with LLMs will be a huge market for whoever corners it. They'd be crazy to leave that money on the table.

Yeah, we had one near us, close to the metro exit, and it was genuinely great when you needed to grab something for dinner on the way home. Once you knew where things were, you cou…
