Looking how much agents like to use and push to have functional a11y trees, we may accidentally solve accessibility as well

12 tok/s and almost instant response on M1 Max Mac Studio (with faster SSD than laptops) are impressive – gives hope that large models may run locally from SSDs instead of memory.

We have speed limits for vehicles because speed kills. In computing, waiting kills (indirectly, by wasting time). Speed is life. Some roads have minimum speed limits. If we're talk…

I had learnt that trick, so now I explicitly disallow Fable subagents. Yesterday, I wanted to review a complex piece after a large refactoring, and requested a review plan beforeha…

I'm waiting for the day when Claude will figure out to use em dashes, en dashes or dashes depending on whether the user is nice or unpleasant, or write notes in the unallocated dis…

Too late for the tech part. The tech stack may be incomprehensible for humans, but LLMs will build on top of it just fine.

In this case, we might not have an advanced civilization with modern medicine and technology. Herbs for healing, candles for lighting, letters for communication. (Perhaps I wouldn'…

I'm curious about their expectations and how they will interpret the results. On the one hand, the people there are supposedly among the smartest on the planet. On the other hand, …

Not exactly. I got (and renewed) the Swiss permit with zero knowledge of any official language. However, my wife had to present the basic certificate or my promise that she would l…

Before AI: 900 of 1000 fail (90%), 100 succeed After AI: 4900 of 5000 fail (98%), 100 succeed Like this?

Well, now those who will go to look it up in 5 minutes may end up reading this guy’s article.

I will make burgers myself. I take this approach with many things and services without great suppliers anyway. And I don't care if it's suboptimal because, in the long run, I'll ha…

The author offers to permanently put 400 words into the context to save 55-90 in T1-T3 benchmarks. Considering the 1:5 (input:output) token cost ratio, this could increase total sp…

"Thinking: the user recognizes that it's impossible to guarantee elimination. Therefore, I can fulfill all initial requirements and proceed with striking it."

A long time ago, there were discussion boards, and there was a section "off-topic" on those boards.

I recall two recent cases: * An attempt to change the master code of a secondhand safe. To get useful information I had to repeatedly convince the model that I own the thing and ca…

All right, the twist. They may hire Tantric Buddhists or Shaivites. Some of them even pay to meditate on stuff like that, and will be happy to do the practice and get paid for it. …

I see a contradiction. If they are not responsive, their psyche is safe and there are no reasons for them to be compensated much more than minimum wage workers.

As someone who was not a child prodigy, but still closer to one than to normies, I can say that achieving results easily in childhood leads to not developing good discipline and pe…

For me, this is the major selling point to own a car. I may drive a few times a week, and taxis might be much cheaper, but no way I'm going to deal with human taxi drivers if I hav…

The best solution I've found a few years ago is one Venta LW 45 for every 30 m² of space. That's enough to run them on the lowest speed while maintaining acceptable humidity and CO…

"Even a stopped clock is right twice a day"

Xero offers 5000 mile sole warranty, and they cost even less

There are always too many painful and different things to do in any business, so a single person will certainly start aggressively delegating and outsourcing after a few millions o…

Maybe it's for the better. They are very clear and consecutive in their intentions, leaving no room for doubt.
