> outside test flight environment This is the way. I have a setup that refreshes all my apps at 4am so they never expire. To get around the 3-app limit, I build all the features I …

> Document-borne AI worms can self-propagate through Copilot for Word For some reason, I had a very different picture when I read the title. A real, conscious bug that chews out wo…

Another source I'd love to see scraped or opened up is the New York Times archive, along with other newspaper archives.

I get where you're coming from, but this seems no different from the risks associated with having a baby. Pushed further, babies never consent to any of the traits they inherit fro…

For most tasks, I don't value the LLMs based on their absolute capabilities. I wouldn't want to use GPT-4 today even if it's free.

Compared to the vast amount of things you will be able to do, the ones that are hard limited is a tiny portion.

I think it comes down to scaling and removing the bottlenecks. If you build one data center on earth, you did just that. If you build one in space and make it work and cost effecti…

I used to be in the "AI will soon do all your thinking for you" camp, but I was overlooking a scenario: sometimes the gap between what you understand and what you're trying to achi…

I do enjoy my self driving car :) I've been enjoying it for the last 6 months. And I will enjoy my trip to Mars, when there are nice hotels there. But it's gonna be a while. It's a…

As much as I love vim, I still want my cursor tied to the mouse when I'm in a web browser. If you recorded how I browse, you'd see seemingly random mouse movements, clicks, drags, …

At this point you are not buying a particular chip. You are buying whatever compute you can get.

Isn't that the market cap of the company? That doesn't mean the company creates trillions of dollars of value. It just means the number of shares times the last per share trading p…

You will wish you had them when you need them. There might be reasons in the future that you don't realize now. Plus the fact that storage is cheap. So the most logical thing to do…

Guns should be illegal because they can be used to kill people.

One huge plus of owning is you are forced to put money each month into a likely appreciating asset. It probably doesn't beat someone who diligently DCAs into s&p 500 though.

This left a strange feeling. The article reads as extremely bleak. But from a different perspective this is extremely bullish for AI.

This is a valid perspective, but I don't think a useful one. Being able to produce code is a huge unlock for many non-programmers. So in a way, it doesn't matter how much time exis…

Giving Musk the benefit of the doubt, here's a thought experiment: It doesn't seem like any of the big labs in the US can keep a lead for more than 3 months. The Chinese models are…

This has become a problem for me. I like trying new things. But I also know that in about a week, there's going to be a better/cheaper setup. And a week after that. And ideally I'd…

Is this really surprising? A face has what, 40 intrinsic dimensions? Isn't this just like facial recognition? A paragraph sure has more than 40 dimensions.

Think about it. He's stealing from the US military. The politicians are stealing from you. Who's laughing now?

I thought we've long passed the Turing test, until I tried to implement a chat bot. It's not even close. It's easy to "pass the Turing test" for 5 minutes. It's extremely hard if y…

This is great from a technical and artistic perspective. But for me personally, the visual style ruined a great game. I love detective/deduction games. I'm listing some of my all-t…

I recently learned a trick to improve an LLM's thinking (maybe it's well know?): Requesting { "output": "x" } consistently fails, despite detailed instructions. Changing to request…
