    In my opinion, the issue in AI is similar to the issue in self driving cars. I think the last “five percent” of functionality for agents etc. will be much, much more difficult to n…

    There's a bunch of CSS, etc. not supported by that. It would be great to have access to a native API to get bitmaps of the DOM.

    First AI model to pass my test on the first try (I used o3-mini-high). Prompt: Write an interpreter for a simple but practical scripting language. Write the interpreter in JavaScri…

    Whether it’s a journal, a university, a tech company… never take it personally because there’s bureaucracy, policies, etc and information lost in the operation of the whole process…

    Could someone explain the point to me? I read the post and still don’t quite understand. I remember CRTs looked smoother when pixels were still noticeable in (o)led displays. Is it…

    Maybe if they stopped the endless reboots, remakes, sequels and derivatives. There’s still a good one every once in a while. Oh well, I know what movie I’m watching today… you’ll s…

    That’s very interesting. However it’s like any of the organizations that support competitors at elite levels in all sports. From the doctors, nutritionists, coaches that support Ol…

    You’d think the ability to set up elaborate tricks would imply similar knowledge of the game. And also that highly skilled AI would implicitly include adversarial strategies. Inter…

    It could be that it “assumed” you meant “from China”; in the higher level patterns it learns the imperfection of human writing and the approximate threshold at which mistakes are i…

    Finally. I had been waiting for something like this.

    There is SO much bloat in all the “modern” UI “culture”. Reinventing things over and over again. Creating entire frameworks for tiny, simple things. And the worst part of web UIs i…

    Also why companies dogfood and have internal betas for products (when this is possible; i.e., you’re not making something for enterprises or other kinds of customers). The sense of…

    That’s a good point. Perhaps the image and video sites will eventually blend into hosting both — and short form video as well naturally. YouTube and Instagram both have short form …

    The resilient services are those that occupy a non-gimmicky niche. I’ll explain the difference between a real niche and a contrived or gimmicky one. For example, YouTube is the vid…

    I got it to talk like a macho tough guy who even uses profanity and is actually frank and blunt to me. This is the chat I use for life advice. I just described the "character" it w…

    Probably picked it up from the training data. That's how we all talk now-a-days. Walking on eggshells all the time. You have to assume your reader is a fragile counterpoint generat…

    I think companies are moving too quickly with AI and LLMs in particular. I think that the data LLMs are trained on should be very well-known - not just sanitized and certainly not …
