It's still interesting in a similar way to Simon Willison's Pelicans on a bicycle.

I remember using Opera on my Windows 95, 60mhz Pentium with 8mb RAM. I remember the persistent banner ad that was part of the browser UI. I had no problem putting up with the ad be…

It is very comparable if you work out the $/tok/s on inference. I did some napkin math and it looks like you’re getting roughly 3x the performance for 3x the cost. Red v2 vs Mac St…

I created Pocodex because I didn't want to be inaccessible to my Codex agents when I went to the toilet! Pocodex lets you use Codex.app in a regular browser, including on your phon…

Patrick Collison said this yesterday on TBPN, "Software is becoming like pizza […] It should be cooked right then and there at the moment of use"

I had a housemate in college who used to party until all hours, bring people back at 3AM and put on loud music. Even during exam season. I tried talking to her a couple of times bu…

Nice! I'm curious, what does this service cost to run? I notice that you don't have more expensive models like Opus but querying the models every minute must add up over time (excu…

You sound like someone who doesn't spend 1+ hour every day commuting in traffic. :)

Also a winner of the Irish Young Scientist competition, 2 years before Patrick Collison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Scientist_and_Technology...

Here in Ireland, our water is a public service and we have similar supply issues to the UK (and a similar rainy climate). I'm not discounting your analysis and I'm sure there are l…

From the AI’s point of view is it losing its job or losing its “life”? Most of us when faced with death will consider options much more drastic than blackmail.

Thank you. Point taken on enterprise language. I think we did a decent job of keeping it readable in our disclosure write-up but you’re 100% right, my comment above could have been…

Fair point. Perhaps better phrased as "to ensure this scenario can't recur.". I'll edit my post. Yes, we re-architected our build container as part of remediation efforts, it was q…

Dave here, founder of ToDesktop. I've shared a write-up: https://www.todesktop.com/blog/posts/security-incident-at-to... This vulnerability was genuinely embarrassing, and I'm sorr…

Your 66.66% (2/3) of the way there to the second character too. So I would say your only 16.66% different across the two characters.

Tangent: my understanding is the Zuckerberg wanted to do something similar and even paid SpaceX to launch a satellite (which was unsuccessful). It seems Musk liked the idea so much…

Here you go, FSD in Italy: https://youtu.be/tsE089adyoQ?si=Uo72mxf63DQNn7qG It generalises quite well even though it’s only trained on US roads AFAIK.

> Another recent change on Tesla's website is to remove old blog posts, including a 2016 blog post in which Tesla claimed … Perhaps unintended but this is a bit misleading. Tesla c…

I would give more credibility to the firsthand account (PG & Jessica) rather than speculations from a fired board member.

For context, Helen Tonor [0] was a board member of OpenAI before they tried to fire Sam Altman. She claimed that Sam was fired by YC in a recent interview [1]. In the interview, sh…

Apple will also introduce the "Pro" line of their M4 chips later in the year and I expect that they will improve the Neural Engine further.

Llama 3 is tuned very nicely for English answers. What is most surprising to me is that the 8B model is performing similarly to Mistral's large model and the original GPT4 model (i…

Read the sentence before, it provides good context. I don't know if Ilya is correct, but it's a sincerely held belief. > “a safe AI is harder to build than an unsafe one, then by o…
