    I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention video models yet. I don’t know how many fps 17000 tok/s translates to exactly but it’s gotta be a lot. Might make real time AI video pos…

    I wonder, if indeed there is astroturfing going on, if instead of a foreign actor it’s competing AI companies. Eg OpenAI astroturfing opposition to when Anthropic wants to build a …

    nonexistent functions being referenced is pretty bad, I haven’t had that issue since like opus 4. Shows either complete lack of oversight and/or using a bargain basement model (so …

    This is one of my pet peeves too. Like when someone says “ChatGPT says: …” I just want to stop them and say “Look, you are a human with a functioning mind and thoughts and I’m sure…

    the bonsai 27B 1bit quant version of Qwen3.6 27B is even more nuts, model fits in 4GB, and with 100k of content model+kv cache fits in 8GB. I’ve been running it locally on my mac m…

    it would be interesting to see results from works that don't have notable existing film/tv adaptations or illustrations (though I suppose there will always be fan art) to see if it…

    UCLA is often used as a stand in for many colleges in movie sets (notably Harvard, as one of the buildings in UCLA has the Harvard crest on it specifically for this purpose) due to…

    I feel like a “AI answers can be surprisingly good, especially if you ask the right questions” can be applied to almost anything you can do with LLMs. Like the threads a few days a…

    audio CDs use a different wavelength for the laser (infra red) while PS game disks are BluRay (blue laser). Of course, 99.9% of other BluRay players will also support DVD/CD, so ye…

    I find sonnet and haiku will do that, but I rarely get that with opus. When it does happen it’s a good cue to start a new session. That’s another benefit of the style guide is it’s…
