> studies at Microsoft and elsewhere showing it’s closer to 14 percent This is a depressing stat. The real productivity gains come from leaving soul sucking big tech companies wher…

Yeah I’m confused about this part. Is there some loophole where they never have to pay the loan back? Otherwise they’d be taxed at that point.

Do people do that? Can I e.g. borrow against my assets and not pay any taxes? Curious to learn more.

Perhaps it’s a generational change? People who grew up with computers went on to be more productive with them, something like that might happen with AI too.

I’d give humans some credit, they’re an adaptable bunch. AI won’t replace humans in the same way humans did not replace cockroaches. It’s a non-sequitur.

By making it think for 100+ pages https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/1625eff6-5ac1-40d8-b1db-5d5cf925d... Regular ChatGPT users don’t have a way to do that, this is something they do inter…

The problem is the amount of data with that cutoff is really minuscule to produce anything powerful. You might be able to generate a lot of 1700s sounding data, you’d have to be ca…

I’ve noticed some people with seemingly fulfilling hobbies stop doing them after quitting their job as well. It’s entirely possible all those hobbies are valuable precisely as some…

This could have been written almost verbatim after the printing press came out and printed pamphlets became ubiquitous.

It would be hilarious if he intentionally or accidentally lost the key, and has been trying to cash out through those Bitcoin adjacent business ventures ever since.

Let’s just hope that the people in charge of the really important decisions that affect us all approach LLM generated advice with the same wisdom.

Don’t know why this is being downvoted, that’s exactly right. One needs only to attend a local city meeting about any smallest step towards more development to see how the voters t…

I see quite a few: “what X actually is” “the X reality check” Overuse of “real” and “genuine”: > The real story is actually in the article. … And the real issue for Cursor … They h…

Definitely, you can’t get much safer mode of travel than a modern airline. There are some humorous statistics that hour for hour taking a shower is more dangerous. Accidents genera…

You’d be surprised. Small aircraft crashes, if control is not lost before hitting the ground, are much more similar to car crashes than to large airliner crashes. For example, a re…

I can’t get past all the LLM-isms. Do people really not care about AI-slopifying their writing? It’s like learning about bad kerning, you see it everywhere.

As in, you used 0 AI to write or edit this text? Or some AI? I’d like to calibrate myself.

In an indirect way it kind of is though. At the end of the day there’s more energy trapped in the atmosphere (stronger jet streams, more frequent and stronger frontal weather)

Yeah it’s been amusing to see people rediscovering tmux as well

If this was a jet there’s no good technical reason for it to stay so low, but one common reason could be air traffic control congestion, you go through different sectors at 10k tha…

Let’s have some compassion, a lot of people are freaking out about their careers now and defense mechanisms are kicking in. It’s hard for a lot of people to say “actually yeah this…

I’m guessing, would love someone who has first hand knowledge to comment. But my guess is it’s some combination of trying many different approaches in parallel (each in a fresh con…

Surely there exists a protocol that would allow to prove that someone is human without revealing the identity?

If you look at the blog history it’s full of those “status report” posts, so it’s plausible that its workflow involves periodically publishing to the blog.
