I can't imagine who is using something like this for agentic coding, but I see exciting opportunities on the horizon when we can have hundreds of reasonably rational and conversati…

> The risk is the same as what Intel had. There is a group who are pushing them to go bigger and with a resource no limit approach, who have a lot of dollars to push you that way. …

Yeah honestly I don't get any of the fear-mongering from any side. If access to intelligence and knowledge is scary to you, that's a you problem. Is it going to change the world? Y…

Ironically, Google is the company I'd prefer to have the frontier models.

Anthropic's fear-mongering and marketing is the reason we have these restrictions in the first place. Despite their virtue signaling, Anthropic is the only major lab that has never…

Even the original idea (if The Social Network is a trustworthy source) was copied -- Zuckerberg just has a complete lack of vision, but is clearly an intelligent operator with good…

What are you willing to give up to be less afraid of all these extremely hypothetical risks? (which in the case of bio/nuclear/chemical is mostly access to controlled materials and…

We've been hearing about the risks of engineered viruses and homemade superweapons since GPT 3.5, so where are they? We've had abliterated open weights models much stronger than GP…

Zone 5 is usually 1-2 minutes out of a longer 30 minute cardio session for me, I do it as a final sprint. I am not talking about repeated hill sprints where you would get 10+ minut…

Honestly AI overviews are a pretty good guide, ask about a 3-5 day water fast. I was nervous going into my first one, but now I don't worry about it. The main thing is to drink a l…

Thanks. Unfortunately, not really, especially where diet is concerned. For example, I saw significant improvement after removing wheat, white rice, red meat, and dairy entirely, wh…

There is absolutely truth to this.

I had a long process with this that mostly manifested as exercise intolerance and general inflammation/discomfort, and sleep struggles. I made no progress for 2 years, lost most of…

The one that started shaking more and more as the volume got louder sent me. Sometimes you have to give credit where it's due, even when the result is unusable.

My step-brother had this around 40. He's okay now, but it was a terrible process involving surgery, carrying around a bag, and chemo which aged him significantly during treatment (…

Yes and no. "Last-gen" (like, from 6 months ago) frontier models do still tend to outperform the best open source models. But some models, especially GLM-5, really have captured wh…

This seems like one of the best possible use cases for LLMs -- porting old, useful Python/Javascript into faster compiled language code. Something I don't want to do, that requires…

I don't hate the idea. But if you think it through, it's intractable. You need to 2x+ the transportation cost of all products (it will cost more to get them back for multiple reaso…

This is consistent with my experience. I've had great results, and every workout I do consists of an exercise I can do at least 20 reps of for the first set, sometimes going up to …

It seems like they fixed the most obvious issue with the last release, where codex would just refuse to do its job... if it seemed difficult or context usage was getting above 60% …

Is there something similar with twice the memory/bandwidth? That's a use case that I would seriously consider to run any frontier open source model locally, at usable speed. 128GB …

Not willingly, but it's a lost cause getting AI generated code to avoid it.

Which news sources do you recommend?

It was the only thing to be optimistic about in this administration, but it sure didn't last long. We should all know that this was the last attempt that had a chance of addressing…
