I trained to play insane, usually a just bit slower than average, after using hints for couple times. I suggest larger levels (yes, scrolling and zooming might be required). After …

The simple fact is that economy can’t be 100% services. Who is going to pay these baristas if nobody else earns anything?

The only reason you can figure it out is because of the system prompt which is designed to make model “useful”, safe and compliant. Raw modern LLM with different pre-prompt will ea…

Or another way to see it is that current models are AGI as it was defined before, and the goal post is being moved.

Does market closing and not trading continuously affects this? If market opens at significantly different price, you may be forced to liquidate and loose more than expected.

Frontier labs release frontier models to the public only if there is market pressure to do so. Anthropic is not even hiding that they have been using Mythos internally for months n…

This is strategy by Chinese government, so much of US economy is invested in AI. Releasing free or cheap versions of the models undermines US economic growth. It’s asymmetric strat…

France’s football team is second only to England’s and Argentina’s. It’s a miracle that in language same words have different meanings depending on context. If this wouldn’t be the…

While you are technically correct, in English it’s perfectly fine to say it this way as well. “Second only” here has meaning “next after”, not “number two”.

Bespoke solutions are better in many cases. They do exact things required for the project without taking extra dependency. Reducing dependencies is beneficial, because dependencies…

I uploaded my blood test results and prompted pedestrian medical question. I shut it down because it's "bio research".

I really don’t understand what SD card reader on MacBook Pro is for. All small cameras and devices use micro SD. Professional cameras don’t use SD since forever now. Basically I al…

So for new Ghost in the Shell is it a good idea to watch previous ones before watching the new one? If so, it what order? Is movie worth watching at all?

Usually the grants are restructured. Ie instead of what was vested and unvested rank-and-file gets new 4 year grants. And then it works exactly the way you would expect: everyone w…

What people don’t get that traditional software jobs are gone. There is no need for developers, testers, PMs, TPMs, devops, leads anymore. Communication burden and structure impose…

What transmitters? Now calls happen over WiFi which companies sell.

Now wait for manufactures introducing mandatory flight mode on devices (with Apple leading the way) that “trusted partners”, like airlines will be able to force-activate themselves…

Because they knew it’s not a real threat and they wanted to land at United hub for cost saving reasons.

What is even better now phone calls are prohibited, but all these airlines had actual credit card phones installed in every seat just 20-15 years ago and really wanted you to do ph…

They are going to do what movie industry is already doing: create shell company for release of each game. Then they will shut down the company when they want, and there will be nob…

Because for awhile they had access to infinite money printing press (search ads), and in the situation like this it’s impossible to focus and seriously compete in other areas. Esse…

And amazingly free version is very usable as well. It’s same BBEdit package, and without license it doesn’t activate extra features, which I don’t need anyway. They used to ship it…

This is surprising about COBRA - I thought it’s always 18 months. Moreover it doesn’t make much sense to limit cobra - you are paying full price out of pocket anyway.

I started with x86 assembler and Turbo Pascal (I still remember when I got documentation for Turbo Vision - this was groundbreaking!). The simple truth is that I had to constantly …

Grok has the most useful voice mode (ChatGPT voice mode is very dumb, grok seems to use same model as main chat), so if I want to use voice this is the AI I use. Also I use it for …
