    That's a very empty statement: you're haven't mentioned and critiqued any of the points he made against LLMs at all.

    Problem is that might go away or get nerfed.

    Additional constraint here: it's not just browser version. Processes have to refer to the same disk location for sharing to work. Given that each ships the full set of dependencies…

    A script can't pull facts out of a PDF, but you certainly don't need 2T param frontier model to do that either.

    I got Claude to write a forejo instance in TF (oidc + CI runners + daily backups + the works) in half a day.

    That's missing a some of the LLM era? Maybe the author is working on a logarithmic view?

    I think my age group (~40) is the tail end of widespread dogmatic trust in Microsoft. Once we retire I think they are going to be in serious trouble.

    At least so far as Microsoft goes, it is abundantly clear that they do not use LLMs like you claim to. The gp comment is an extremely fair assumption. I'd also wager that people li…

    Because the IT department makes them. Windows (and Mac) have an abundance of turn-key MDM solutions. I did the research to avoid having to use Windows at a previous employer, and t…

    I think you'd need to insert "critique these ideas." That's where the intellectual honesty comes in - I suspect that _all_ current LLMs would continue on with and truly stupid idea…

    Maybe modulating temperature can help here: have the LLM come up with ideas at high temperature, and then critique them at low. This is also tied to halucinations: it is something …

    The things work, albeit with a full page load. As one of the ancestor comments said: progressive enhancement.

    Back in the day I was writing a liero clone, and came up with a neat scheme for pixel-perfect collisions (probably serendipitously, no claims it's unique). A 64bit integer can be s…

    China was behind the frontier before they suddenly weren't (K3). Just using American models would never have achieved that (not that they could have anyway, but the point still sta…

    And FWIW, KDE probably make the most effort with their compositor. They have historically been well ahead of the curve for things that might affect this (e.g. VRR).

    In Linux you generally have two types of desktops: DEs, which are full featured (KDE, GNOME, Cosmic, Cinnamon, etc.), and window managers. Window managers do only what they say on …

    That router uses OpenWRT, but only official firmware can be installed. The Asus ZenWifi BT7 is currently widely recommended if you want to go OpenWRT Wifi7.
