    I think neuro-symbolic AI has a lot of potential here, since small models can handle a lot of conversational inputs, while relying on wired-in solvers for more complex symbolic mat…

    I'd love to see a comparison to Haxe. https://haxe.org/ I wonder what performance and generated code size/quality look like.

    That post comes uncomfortably close to how Opus writes this kind of prose. It's a good idea to acknowledge all stakeholders.

    (Pardon the self promotion) Libraries like turnstyle are taking advantage of shared representation across models. Neurosymbolic programming : https://github.com/jdonaldson/turnstyl…

    It's a different kind of fatigue, but it's something a felt I got stronger at over time. Beats waiting IMHO, but be sure to give yourself a chance to rest.

    People here always want to run the software themselves first, but then the next day they want to pay someone else to host it. If you're running into people throwing security flags,…

    Honestly, yeah, makes sense to me. If we value freedom at all we value the right to tell the government to stuff it with their legally binding nothingburger deals.

    I'm quite sure that's what's already going on. LEO is big and empty and pretty boring, but it's also resilient to increasing trends of natural disaster, war, and civil unrest. Havi…

    I don't think this quote is in the book.

    I thought that book was pretty dull, and had a terrible romance subplot. But I do have to say it pops in my head more and more often, just like Idiocracy. Someone should definitely…

    While that sounds like a dealbreaker, I can't help think "yeah but if a decoding method took advantage of prefix in a similarly scalable way, one would reap the same benefits".

    I'm an organ donor, and I have no problem giving my organs away after I'm quite positive I won't feel it. I think as long as there is no sensation, there is no pain, and certainly …

    The issue isn't that there's a lot of change coming from inside the markets, it's that there's a lot of change coming from outside the market, and it's all interconnected.

    I always chalked that up to being around people that were new to the country and hadn't yet wrapped their head around the latest fashionable American cynicism. Generally takes a fe…

    Humans make mistakes too. Case in point, the hallucination engine didn't tell the person to ingest bromide. It only mentioned that it had chemical similarities to salt. The human m…

    Nix always felt like an OS on the blockchain. It's fine if you value verifiability above everything, but becomes very burdensome if you find yourself tweaking your dev environment …

    I didn't think very deeply into this, but it would involved these steps: 1. You send me a pdf 2. I print it out on white sheet cake and deliver it. 3. Profit?

    If it were just a simple copy/paste job with the patch, that's one thing. But the whole image has been turned into AI slop, with certain items moved, changed, or excluded. This jus…
