I'm lucky enough to not notice my tinnitus except when I try to do nothing.

I think you're equating doing nothing with doing nothing productive. You're usually still ruminating or trying to distract yourself from the source of the pressure.

I wonder how long it'll be before AI labs find a revenue stream that doesn't involve renting out their models, and stop letting us ride on their coattails. They'd tease us with sol…

I'm guessing the next generation of US frontier models will be heavily anti-distillation at the cost of user experience (significant rate limiting, more flat out refusals, hidden t…

May not be very effective if so. I'm assuming finding vulnerabilities in open source projects is the hard part and what you need the frontier models for. Writing an exploit given a…

It's also trading at a huge premium. Probably worth a read if you're considering it: https://www.morningstar.com/funds/fundrise-innovation-is-not...

My hunch is it's a combination of * coming in with a bias of not wanting it to work * having too high of an expectation * giving up too early * not trying SOTA models * not taking …

In my case, the volume of code is roughly the same. I'm not using the efficiency towards pumping out more code, just using it to be AFK more. I spend enough time iterating and refi…

More like a day's worth of coding condensed into half an hour. Time to review/test is mostly unchanged. Day to day is mainly minor feature additions into a stable product so not a …

Is that you, boss? People with a lower multiplier are either in the minority of developers solving genuinely hard/novel problems or, more likely, they've just not figured out how t…

> they aren't even making 1.5x developers I won't try to speak for anyone other than myself, but my multiplier is definitely over 1.5x, probably higher than 5x. I choose to sit on …

My probably incorrect, uninformed hunch is that users convinced of how AI should act actually end up nerfing its capabilities with their prompts. Essentially dumbing it down to the…

"But we anonymize prompts before training!" Meanwhile the prompt: Crop this photo of my passport

Or simply embrace ignorance. Why hold on to things you don't use? Accept AI as an extension to your brain, and let the now dormant parts atrophy. Yes, you will be vulnerable should…

Huh. I'd never thought of this. If that is actually meaningfully beneficial, I wonder if they'd design self driving cars with the seats facing backwards, given there's no longer a …

Would you have a problem if AI was no longer a tool but the artist itself (i.e. no human intervention)? People seem to have an irrational fear of being entertained by AI, equating …

Surely they've reserved the best models for themselves and have people looking into how to optimally harness untapped potential from LLMs? Edit: I guess the competition between the…

> They can and most likely will release something that vaporises the thin moat you have built around their product. As they should if they're doing most of the heavy lifting. And i…

You can still do all these things manually. Now you just have the option not to.

The article says the man was trying to see the squirrel's back implying a larger radius. But yeah if your circuit completely fits inside the other person's circuit, then you've bee…

That the man technically went around the squirrel without ever having caught up to it.

Say instead of just walking, the man was laying down a net/barricade around the tree. As soon as the man completes the circumference, the squirrel must admit that it has been gone …

I have very fond memories of playing the Pokemon games, but I always saw the battling aspect as a hurdle to unlocking more of the story/world, which was the true appeal to me. I wa…
