    No I don't think I missed that part of the article that was covered in my statement that the op seem to really not like H1 for lots of other reasons.

    I don't understand the controversy at the heart of this post. H1 stated they don't use reports to train LLMs. Then they revealed they were using LLMs to triage reports based on pre…

    How long has it been since you've gone a single day without a screen? I don't have a miracle cure, just a suggestion to try going without for a day and see how you feel. Similar to…

    There exist problems which cause years of suffering which can be solved in hours (sometimes minutes). Not every problem is like that, of course, but some are. Procrastination is li…

    >I agree, but how does one begin to enforce a ban like this? Look to something that works to modify behavior: credit reports. Make it easy to report an actor for malfeasance, assum…

    Let us know how it turns out.

    I think it said something very meaningful and actionable (admittedly at a high level) about keeping the hot path deterministic: low allocations (including guidelines for GC frequen…

    No. When the chips are down and your back is to the wall, I don't want the charisma guy, I want the indefatigable reality guy.

    You don't need to make libraries illegal to get rid of them, you just need to undermine their value and they'll be defunded and disappear. No passing laws necessary, just pubic amb…

    Ah, like how we don't have pay phones any more because they were made illegal.

    What disginguishes Dostoevsky is his attention to detail and this unusual ability to describe someone inside and out with a voice that finds some sort of intrinsic fascination with…

    >everyone knows that these giant trucks and SUVs are killing people The number of things I believe "everyone knows" has tended to zero over time.

    It won't be rejected. Your resume will be meticulously placed into a human review queue pending the allocation of someone to look at the contents. Meanwhile the position will be fi…

    Actual price $100k and everything is very closed and proprietary. Oddly this MSI system provides "only" 252G vram and 500G ram. I would have expected more vram for this price. Also…

    Add "in their living room" and the answer is low. But is it a good experience to game in the living room, on the couch? To me that's an open question that is (sadly) very expensive…

    Most people don't know if they'll like the living-room PC gaming experience and at this price not enough people will even try. That's sad to me. It could be that with the right har…

    I like this idea but I get the sinking feeling GA proponents don't really solve problems with GA. Like how Haskell advocates don't write programs and modular synth enthusiasts don'…

    I agree but you and I aren't the audience and I think experts in general should be a little more holistic when critiquing other people's choices. For any given problem there always…

    Simpler doesn't mean easier. Consider a chef who at their previous job started using a wood-burning stove. This is an objectively simpler tool than a gas or electric stove, yet it …
