Generalized, as an rule I believe is usually true: Any prediction made for an event happening greater-than ten years out is code for that person saying "definitely not in the next few years, beyond that I have no idea", whether th

AI manufacturers aren't comparing their models against most people; they now say its "smarter than 99% of people" or "performs tasks at a PhD level". Look, your argument ultimately reduces down to goalpost-moving wh

Longer-term I think Notion would benefit from going straight for the Google Workspace/O365 market and start offering email/calendar/etc end-to-end, rather than their current strategy of integration. The current strategy makes

Remember: The people who would supposed to benefit from a rollout like this are the website operators, not Firefox. The change is happening; I doubt Mozilla is going to reverse course because a couple websites look a little wonky (totally

Well, my argument is more-so directed at the people who say "well, the human brain is just a statistical model with training data". If I say: Both birds and airplanes are just a fuselage with wings, then proceed to dump billions o

For sure; we don't have a way of comparing the architectural substrate of human intelligence versus LLM intelligence. We don't even have a way of comparing the architectural substrate of one human brain with another. Here's m

Maybe; at some level are dogs' brains also simple sensory-collecting statistical models? A human baby and a dog are born on the same day; that dog never leaves that baby's side, for 20 years. It sees everything it sees, it hears e

I think in this case its fair to assume what I meant was "the secretaries whose jobs were replaced in the 80s and people like them", or "the people whose jobs will be replaced with AI today"; not "literally the poor

If your argument is that, all that happened and it all turned out fine: Are you sure we (socioeconomically, on average) are better off today then we were in the 1980s?

1. If you're upfront with it, and everyone involved has signed off on it, it isn't ethically wrong. Its not the overemployment that's the problem; its the deceit. I've seen this happen multiple times, including once myse

We're hiring for a software engineer right now. The amount of time our single HR professional has had to invest in sorting through scam candidates is ungodly. We had someone apply to the job three times, using different names and resum

This could just be my misunderstanding of how you'd set up a per-user or per-tenant use-case on D1, but as far as I know in order to set up a binding between a Worker and a D1 database, that connection needs to be defined in your wrang

Given that a computer should be able to simulate at least some applicable aspects and processes of reality billions of times faster than the speed at which our own universe runs at: Yes, I think it is entirely reasonable to have these age

o1 fails at this, likely because it does not seem to have access to search, so it is operating on outdated information. It recommends the usage of methods that have been removed by Google in later versions of the library. This is also, to b

I should have specified "nodejs", as that has been my most recent difficulty. The challenge, specifically, with that prompt is that Google has at least four nodejs libraries that are all seem at least reasonably capable of accessi

Readers should, charitably, interpret this as "the sequence of events which need to happen in order for OpenAI to justify the inflow of capital necessary to survive". Your daily vibe coding challenge: Get GPT-4o to output function

Yeah; the Steam Deck still runs a Zen 2 chip, while handhelds like the Ally X are on Zen 4. We'll likely start seeing some handheld PCs begin upgrading to Zen 5/Strix Point this year, and IMO that may be the point where these devi

1. The biggest advantage of storing on the filesystem is that Files are the core primitive on UNIX based operating systems, and is core-enough on Windows. Giving that up would require tremendously good reasons. 2. Everyone organizes pro

Once you start trying to cross-reference a public health campaign with something related to peoples' diets, it becomes difficult to make super broad and conclusive statements. Here's some interesting data (2003 I believe, so prett

IMO: One idea I've been pondering is this idea of contextual continuity in programming, or really any task you may ask an AI to do. If I code a system, then that system has a bug; or if I use Illustrator to make a drawing, then the sta

Agreed. Its my opinion that you should be able to replace the launcher on Android devices, but the Play Store should refuse to distribute apps that do this.

The President is not elected by popular vote, and I should hope that the polling probabilities take that into account. 312 to 226 (58%/42%) was the final electoral college count. Do you know what the Polymarket odds for the race were a

Rambling about why a 50-50 forecast on a blowout election is "fine" and actually, like, totally cool and actually you're the dumb one for thinking it isn't, holds no water in my book. Election forecasters are not scienti

For sure. The 2024 Republican party is one built on Vibes; if you double-click on any of the specific issues, ask five questions about them, it turns out that really, that issue probably isn't all that material to Americans' lives

It always ends up happening how you least expect it, though maybe that expectation is evidence that it was bound to happen via a different road anyway. At the end of the day, the problem isn't really Trump. The American Empire isn&#x27

Yeah; sell the bitcoin. Sell the gold. Sell the forests. Cut the military. Why own anything at all? Credit is just floaty vibes anyway; the economy is based on debt, debt is the only thing anyone ever needs to own.

I don't think its fair to say there are no reasons. Having a large balance sheet and a diverse pool of assets helps with national creditworthiness and interest rate negotiation. When people say that US Treasuries are backed by the full
