I recommend trying Codex too. In fact, I recommend running them side-by-side if you have the budget, e.g. have both independently plan the same feature or implement in a different …

Mice have the best drugs.

There are people interested in overcoming aphantasia (or hypophantasia, an extremely weak form of imagination). Today I have medium-ish hypophantasia, but I remember when I was doi…

Maybe if Terence Tao had memorized the entire Internet (and pretty much all media), then maybe he would find bits and pieces of the problem remind him of certain known solutions an…

It looks like these models work pretty well as natural language search engines and at connecting together dots of disparate things humans haven't done.

The strength of the glasses alters the size of the image that lands on your retinas. More (-) means a smaller image thus you stop seeing movement much closer to the focal point.

Do you? Don't you just halt and say this is too complex?

If the internal representation of Tesla Autopilot is similar to what the UI displays, i.e. the location of the w.r.t. to everything else, and we had a human whose internal represen…

Honestly, on an iPhone, I wish I could completely mute/disable the Phone app, so when it calls it doesn't overtake whatever you are doing, or just delete it.

> I know they seemed to be trying to temper our expectations leading up to this Before the release of the model Sam Altman tweeted a picture of the Death Star appearing over the ho…

LLMs can be useful when you have access to a verifier or verification process.

I recently took a picture of the ingredients list on my multivitamin and fed it into ChatGPT o1-pro (at least that was the config.) and it made up ingredients and messed up the qua…

What a mess this language is becoming.

Also, everything you publicly write today is just used as AI fodder. :/

Since when did information travel quickly in the brain (compared to the speed of light)?

Sounds like you have hypophantasia. Mind's eye/visualisation/phantasia is not seen through one's physical eyes. From how I've heard people explain it, it's: * (1) Seeing inside you…

I tried GPT-4o earlier where I was iteratively asking it to write and in improve a simple JavaScript web app that renders graphs of equations and it had a lot of trouble with subst…

Very impressive. Its programming skills are still kind of crappy and I seriously doubt its reasoning capacity. It feels like it can deep fake text prediction really well, but in es…

This article feels overblown. Is async Rust perfect? No, far from it. It feels like a MVP that Rust's developers have neglected for a while. Hopefully picking up some steam these d…

We're becoming (cognitively) obsolete.

The problem I find with parenthesized languages is the amount of visual noise coming from the parentheses. If you're learning how to write your first interpreter or compiler I kind…

My suggestion was more for people who are starting out developing a programming language. It's the over-emphasis on the syntax so early on I find to be suboptimal. I also find that…
