    Is there a reason you think 4chan would be auth right rather than lib right?

    > devs just writing their own random queries. I've spent a lot of time writing my own random queries. I don't know that I've ever written a stored function.

    Small-language models also use GPT. And I agree it's not "LLM vs RL" and that they're orthogonal, however, RL has features that more clearly resemble intelligence.

    Google's definition is sufficient[0]. I'd also go so far as to say that LLMs aren't even AI, but that can be a bit pedantic. I align with Richard Sutton's reasoning, in that LLMs (…

    I think it's a bit nuanced, and maybe poorly explained by the original author, but to me, "left-pathers" are always "move fast and break things" to the point that whatever they bui…

    If this is true, who is the EU-equivalent of Palantir?

    With integers/floats, he's saying it's not opinionated enough. Anything other than integers with minor-unit precision, unless you have a very good reason, is a bad idea. So "floati…

    Yeah, if blockers are coming out in 1-on-1 meetings, that’s a really bad sign

    Without regulation, yes. Brokers (i.e. scalpers) will buy up tickets to events and take all of the risk off of TM’s plate, and reprice however they’d like. ~80% of tickets in the U…

    If you want to see what that looks like, I one-shot a browser with Claude that does it[0]. Docs pages are early adopters to this[1][2], so that AI agents can better handle tasks. […

    No, requesting "Accept: text/markdown" in the headers and returning markdown is the more agreed upon standard at this point.[0] [0] - https://acceptmarkdown.com/

    I see nothing advocating against requiring KYC for user wallets and continuing to do wallet screening (which is the norm)

    I agree — I don’t see the connection between the items mentioned on the page and flat out AML/CTF evasion as the title suggests. If I’m wrong, someone please connect the dots.

    This is such an important step forward as we start to understand the 2nd order implications of AI and how it will change UIs in the future. We used to have to allow + review 3rd pa…

    "Focus on one side first" means get in your car and start fulfilling orders.
