As a proportion of total energy use, the US is ahead of China in moving away from fossil fuels by about 5 full percentage points. Most of the "energy independence" that China has i…

Only as recently as last year did China stop increasing its net electric generation from coal. And if you look at all primary energy (not just electricity), their dependence on fos…

If you want to skip the clunky csv step, you can utilize https://github.com/jasperket/clanki and push directly from AI to Anki.

That has not been my experience, and logically it doesn't really make much sense. If you do so, you are making the problem strictly worse.

Another case of study design not really supporting the headline. According to the paper, the comparison here was "no advice" or "AI advice": there was no "placebo" where you have a…

What's been your experience using these models? In my experiments, while it is true that the models are less likely to outright refuse to answer "sensitive" questions, they are sti…

> a Berkeley Haas study which describes how AI usage increases the intensity of work The marketing around this 'study' has been impressive. They published the HBR article [0] and o…

> cost has nothing to do with it > customers will flock to the cheapest inference

If AA is to be believed then per-task it is about the same cost as Sol. Agree that it's very different from DeepSeek v4 Pro, which is ~15x cheaper than K3. https://artificialanalys…

AA results are out: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/kimi-k3

Critically, that cost excludes the amortized amount the batteries will be over that period. And if you're cycling them every day like this, they're not going to last more than 15~2…

> There’s a stew of factors at work behind the rise in consumer rage [including] the rise of AI customer service. I'm not really sure the problem is AI here. I've had plenty of bad…

I see tons of confustion in the comments on whether AI can or can't read it. Bit of a marketing miss -- they should have picked clearly different decoy vs. default actual messages.…

It's a balance. Maybe a helpful analogy would be a book -- yes, reading a book is effortful, and yes, "almost everyone" does not read. Still, I think most wouldn't consider it craz…

Based on the Intelligence vs. Cost graph, not clear to me why anyone would use Terra? Luna looks quite interesting though, happy to see OpenAI still serving the more budget-oriente…

This doesn't seem that big of a deal to me? I mean, in any other area where I want an assessment of a product, I'm not going to trust what the product producer says about it at fac…

So interesting to read about AI perceptions from the other side. In my mind, the problems with these drafts were moreso that the writers using AI could not (or would not) actually …

Interesting perspective. In my experience the risk is actually that it results in alert fatigue, which means that drivers that would otherwise pay attention to such an alert no lon…

I rarely make cards by hand anymore. I would recommend forking something like https://github.com/jasperket/clanki and editing it (perhaps with an agent) so that it works exactly to…

I think you're measuring one method against a goal it wasn't set for. I assume you are referring to Mammoth direct air capture in your comment -- Stratos in Texas will soon be up, …

The exepense is what's not to like. Far cheaper to build a single-story warehouse + outside parking lot than a second story above a parking garage.

It's fair to call out issues with the tool. But I think for individuals searching for jobs, using LLMs as the scapegoat for why it's hard to find a role is not terribly helpful. In…

Let's play this out further. How about high school, should there be grades there? Tests at all levels also typically involve a grade / metric -- are those included too?
