> any better solution is either much more difficult or impossible. I just don't buy that. I think it is perfectly feasible to mandate device makers support parental controls that i…

the weird thing about it all is that age is a bad proxy in the first place for a child's level of safety in interacting with online content. Some kids are super mature at 11 and ot…

the big thing containers don't allow is for the agent to run and use docker itself without compromising the host I'm not sure where "vast majority" cuts in but I would say a huge n…

Meta knows how to win back developer's hearts .... let's see if they have the goods

It feels to me that Anthropic is pushing hard here to try and establish acceptance of a tolerance of risk such that their tools can run fully automated without supervision, but dir…

it's running a full VM so the agent can eg: run docker commands safely etc

It's funny / ironic how the whole agentic development boom has taken off in terminal environments, but now the orchestration / IDE layer seems to be all Electron / GUI apps. Any su…

> I definitely feel like there can be a pipeline where one extreme belief may lead to others Once you accept a premise that majority consensus of well informed people can be drasti…

Tobacco company says "we are launching a new product that will cause cancer and kill people. It's highly addictive so we expect widespread uptake. We think it is crucial that regul…

> If anything, I want these models to be less persistent at their focus of completing their goal I think it's honestly a slightly ugly form of benchmaxxing - they are desperate to …

I will say here that there are meaningful jobs that especially tech people can engage with. There are gigantic unsolved problems. Climate change, cancer, thousands of rare disorder…

On top of that, it seems the WFO crowd simply can't help exploiting it to their advantage once they are there. They get less work done, but they hoard higher level decisions about …

it's great but we need a multi-modal model of this quality and price to truly declare victory. But it makes me quite curious, how a text-only model can do so well on ARC-AGI-2 bein…

I started with the Lex Fridman podcast [0] and then I went from there exploring further with reading mostly online material interweaved with discussions with ChatGPT. It is actuall…

definitely But then it's also true the real arc of these things is only properly visible in retrospect. For example I'm sure historians looking back would include the Iraq war as o…

Some important context - it appears it applies to submissions from the community but possibly not to core developers: > Contributions in the OpenJDK Community must not include cont…

But there are no conclusions. It literally says: > Whether human contributions to AI-generated outputs are sufficient to constitute authorship must be analyzed on a case-by-case ba…

I read up recently on the history of the fall of the roman empire and it was fascinating how eerily similar it was to the current state of the US. Overwhelmed by corruption and war…

The fact that the Chinese models have caught up on benchmarks suggests to me that its likely we will start to transition now into much more of a brand war. It will be subjective qu…

Muse code is more interesting than the new model in that it seems to natively ship with an orchestrator / subagent pattern built in. Curious if it works well in practice compared t…

I don't think it's at all certain this won't land back on the same unit economics as the old way. The cost of serving a user doesn't have to be free - it never has been - it just h…

To me there are different motivations to include imagery and some of them are just fine with AI generation. If the imagery actually goes to the substance of helping to illustrate o…

Sadly while the FLOPS are increasing nicely, total graphics memory is stalled in consumer cards by comparison.

There's a growing and fascinating divide between people who see LLMs as more of a "bicycle for the mind" in the vein of Jobs vs those who see them as whollly supplanting the role o…

The outwardly measurable productivity increase will come but over a time scale of years, and most of that will be in barely measurable increments. Nobody wants to hear that but it'…
