A zigzag merge gesture is obviously a terrible idea until/unless everything is a touch screen. Did they even think about this stuff at all? Ergonomics and RSI aside, if a horizonta…

Yeah, but there's a point here. Are you comfortable with financial derivatives? Derivatives of derivatives? Futures of futures at the 4th, 5th or 50th order? The point being that i…

Or post it as a reply in url, hope for the silent majority to support it enough to send it to the top. If the platform only supports out-links it's tough.. maybe use QR codes as av…

Not sure you can purely talk about "is the motivation likely?" and end up with qanon stuff. This leaves out motivated reasoning coming from the rube, plus a bunch of other things l…

It's interesting right? Now there's too much distrust of authority and also not enough. Even the word "skeptic" is sometimes used to refer to people who "do their own research" and…

> Data here: https://gertlabs.com/rankings?mode=agentic_coding Oh wow, we got "tribal domination", "market simulator" and "adversarial customer service". I don't know what those ar…

Oh this is a very damning paper. Using simple languages from their definitions alone is a great proxy for studying truly out-of-distribution reasoning. Also just for following simp…

Watch it if you haven't already. I accidentally landed in the middle of it while doing some illicit late night channel surfing when I was a kid.. this left quite an impression. I t…

Locals trend conservative, always giving the advice "don't do that, you'll definitely die" because they remember one bad incident 10 or 20 years ago and never clock how circumstanc…

Probably you're focused on coding agents? I bet someone could use that kind of hardware to filter snarky comments

Entrenched interests are going to do everything to stop local, but there's at least a few technical reasons to believe small and specialized models could be the norm eventually. If…

I'm grateful for the reference as context, but it simply does not settle the issue of transparency and it did reinforce the question. That's not controversial, nor is the statement…

I'm cautiously optimistic that the theory camp will benefit as much the applied guys, but later. They dream and scheme and shape fields by making vague intuitions and questions sha…
