It also seems to have far more tokens per second than needed for general "close the blinds" "tool_call(blinds, CLOSED)". I do wonder if more smartness could be had by using sparser…

Phones could be set to "allow incoming calls from contacts only" by default. Then a spammer has to persuade you to add them to contacts before they spam you

The bias has to be small enough that if you ask an LLM to repeat some passage of text like the national anthem, either from the training data or from the prompt it doesn't change r…

I had a huge stack of ancient mixed floppies and sold them for a dollar each on eBay. Interestingly most buyers didn't care about HD, DD etc. I suspect they went into art projects.…

Unclear why there is a 1 second timeout at all. Presumably the patch for that will be to make it an infinity timeout.

It was working great... But now it says it can't connect. Did the server go down or did I hit one of your limits?

I don't think this is the case. Having worked on Chromium, the codebase is very modular and internal API's change pretty slowly. I can stop work on my project (which does fairly se…

These guys had already signed a deal to build - giving them permission and probably an agreed price - the money was to persuade them to give that up.

Fail to deliver, and they get bankrupted because a court would not simply unwind the deal - a court would demand compensation of the market price of the goods not delivered on deli…

Fail to deliver, and they get bankrupted... Do deliver and they don't get paid because the buyer purchased with money that doesn't exist. Lose-lose situation!

I just don't think you can combine speed, latency, price and intelligence into a single useful metric. Clearly the weighting of those things depends on the usecase

I put a load of washing on, then ended up in hospital for a year. On return, the contents of the washing machine were pretty much this.

> In a 2-1 vote, the FCC repealed a 22-year-old rule holding that a company cannot own stations that reach more than a combined 39% of the U.S. television audience. This seems like…

Couldn't the real copyright owner just sue the US government and get a payout? The fact this doesn't seem to be happening suggests that perhaps the copyright owner doesn't care?

If a future version of Claude ever gets less error prone than a human, I might prefer the smaller chance of a building collapse from Claude than the larger but insured chance from …

Either these guys are going to try and build LLM swarms and agent loops.... Or they're going to try to build much bigger LLM's which are smarter. The former isn't very defensible, …

> Similarily, everyone becoming their own accountant / lawyer / other professional services. These professional services will defend themselves with gatekeeping. Suddenly it doesn'…

Tom Mueller, Chris Thompson, Hans Koenigsmann, Tim Buzza etc have all left. Makes sense - they had been there ~20 years and must have a huge pile of stock. But due to musks politic…

Crew dragon was designed by smart minds. Those smart minds have mostly left spacex now, since musk changed political sides and became much less 'cool' for the brightest to work at.…

Another approach is to simply accept low quality data into the database, yet have some kind of filtering during the viewing stage. Eg. Draw me a map, but include only data points t…

Need not be the NSA. Might just be some regular thief. The longer they wait, the more they get to steal after all.

I am getting suspicious of "random number generator not actually returning random numbers" bugs.... They are the perfect bug for someone trying to "accidentally" make a secure syst…

People use 1000x more water than they need to drink. If a water supply chain attack happened, we would just distribute bottled water for drinking, and people would go without washi…

I assume the politicians are kept in a very carefully managed microcosm so that they actually think they're making the best choices for their nation, because all other options have…

I get frustrated with a poor quality model leaving my codebase littered with wrong comments, which then later trip up smarter models.
