About svdr

I run an ESP in The Netherlands: https://laposta.nl

I love my work but my attitude towards it is European ;) I have 4 kids and a beautiful wife and I spend a lot of time with them.

    I would also regret it if they become that fast; right now I can really take a moment to enjoy the hard work the model is doing for me.

    The idea that there is much more computation (and intelligence/agency) going on in biological and other systems seems to be getting more popular. (The author writes: The whole body…

    I first thought the spinning was an optical illusion, like https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/how-our-b... . But in this case the spinning is real and you don’t see…

    I think the difference now is that traditional software ultimately comes down to a long series of if/then statements (also the old AI's like Wolfram), whereas the new AI (mainly LL…

    I'm using the smaller models for things like searching and summarizing over a larger part of the codebase. The speed is really pleasant then.

    Is there a distinction made between business customers and consumers? (B2B/B2C)

    I guess I mean that we are awake experience the input from our senses, and that in a dream only the replication of the experience of seeing or hearing etc. is needed, not a replica…

    Your brain does not need to render any environments, just the experience of being in them.

    When images of Mars are shown on social media, there always is a flood of 'Devon island, Canada' comments, so depressing!

    Hi Preet, I think this is looking great, and a lot of features are present already. Two things to consider: I think your pricing is too low to be taken seriously by a lot of organi…

    I've been programming for 40 years and have started using LLM's a few months ago, and it has really changed the way I work. I let it write pieces of code (pasting error messages fr…

    It it false but I would not blame the parent; the ISP blocked page is unclear and suggests the block is linked to Russia.

    I think here it is bearable because the page is more like a presentation. The worst is when nothing special happens, and you only notice scrolling is off.

    Technically it is, of course, but the experience is completely different, and I get the feeling people call it that to downplay it.
