I've been using Claude Code since the early beta days and, since the 4.5 Sonnet release, it's changed my workflow a lot. At least in my view, the current iteration of frontier codi…

The last time I checked (a few days ago) it only had an "Upload Image" option... and I have been playing with Gemini on and off for months and I have never been able to actually up…

There's not a lot of detail in the announcement but I assume this is some kind of RAG system. I wonder if it will cover some short time period (past week, past month?) or if they a…

What mechanism would make it possible to enforce non-paywalled, non-authenticated access to public web pages? This is a classic "problem of the commons" type of issue. The AI compa…

If this is a GPT-generated joke, I'd say they cracked AGI.

Whenever I see one of these posts, I click just to see if the proposed solution to testing the output of an LLM is to use the output of an LLM... and in almost all cases it is. It …

If you're running a company that is paying multiple vendors for basic AI features and LLM functionality, it might be worth doing the calculation of how much of that functionality m…

There are lots of valid use cases for speech synthesis and text-to-speech technology, and there are like 1 or 2 valid/legal use cases for voice cloning that I can think of. Ignorin…

Had to chuckle when I looked at the Digital Advertising Alliance WebChoices browser tool (in Safari or any browser with cross-site tracking disabled). It allows you to opt out of b…

This makes sense on a number of fronts. 1. If you have capital to invest, you could do worse than AI startups at the moment. 2. Nvidia's long-term threat is not just direct competi…

I assume if one of the names in the paper was O'Shaughnessy you would immediately think: "Irish immigrant!" Schmidt? German immigrant!

Ignoring the obvious issue that this whole anonymous story seems suspiciously perfect for selling a related product... On the one hand... Companies spent the past couple of decades…

I've been thinking along the same lines. The token window IMO should be a conceptual inverted pyramid, where there most recent tokens are retained verbatim but previous iterations …

I think the claim is based on the public political statements made by leaders in Texas. The fact that there is a huge discrepancy in what they say publicly against the science of g…

Having only read the abstract, I'm probably way off the mark here, but my first thought was: LLM + LSTM.

When people are faced with negative outcomes resulting from things they approve of, they do this passive-aggressive bit where they pretend to have a valid point.

I used to buy into some of this JFK stuff when I was a X-Files watching teenager. What really burst the bubble for me was a documentary I watched where a team of snipers and forens…

I dabble in music production and know some of the people in the "Lofi" world, so I know for a fact that this is not true. It's just a formulaic sub-genre where people are trying to…

First of all, I'd like to say that this looks like a great project and I wish you the best of luck. I've done a bit of work on building knowledge graphs from semi-structured data a…

If you inspect the network traffic you can see what the "hidden" additional devices behind the countdowns are. SP404 2022-04-04T12:00:00.000Z TR606 2022-06-06T12:00:00.000Z TR707 2…

> Remember, Stephenson’s target audience consisted of “scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs .” Given his choice to court private wealth, it’s no surprise that P…

There's a good book by Kevin Poulsen called "The Kingpin: How one Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground" that is a bit out of date at this point (2011), but it…

I've been thinking this since the Apple Watch came out, but other than practical limitations (battery life) there's always this problem: have you tried to hold your arm out in fron…

Not exactly the same, but "The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu has a plot that starts a little like this.
