It will eventually be super useful, and so disruptive that it will make today's LLMs look like nothing particularly special IMHO. As object permanence becomes a meaningful thing in AI, there will be a mad scramble among cloud providers

whatever model the website currently feels like using You cannot simply handwave this away. "ChatGPT" models range from GPT 5.5 on "Light" effort to GPT 6 Astra with "Ultra" effort. The latter yields as good

He had little choice. The Trump tariffs could've been a massive, massive blow to Amazon, so I'm sure he felt he had to get out in front of them and buy some influence with the incoming administration. See also Tim Cook. Doesn&#x

What a waste of a conversation. Why are you spending time criticising those who support the same points? All I know is what you wrote, sorry. Same shit we could all read on Reddit: "If everyone had the same amount of money, no one w

An economy isn't a zero-sum game. Wealth doesn't just pop into existence when someone in the government clicks a button on a screen. Money is created that way, but wealth isn't. It has to be created by creating somethi

You could bulk them up to 64k if you were rich. They didn't give those 4116s away, though. Good thing RAM is cheap now!

Exactly. The marble metaphor should've been enough to get the point across. Big fan of lcamtuf's writing (I think it's the only 'subscribe to my newsletter' offer I've ever actually clicked) but this one seeme

The problem with 10 was that it was pushed as a "security update" on Windows Update. It was force-fed to unwitting/unwilling Windows 7 users like caged geese at a foie-gras farm. That betrayal was arguably the first step tow

My favorite one was a few years ago when MS rolled out a Visual Studio with... a login window. So now, just-in-time debugging only works if I happen to remember my password.

To fix this: 1) Nitter offers a deal: download our browser extension, sign up for Twitter, and we'll give you some kind of perk (Amazon credits, whatever). 2) Browser extension surfs Twitter on the user's behalf, scraping and send

All models are pretty good now at generating these images. Not zebras. If you want to see how bad SVG output still is, ask for a zebra riding a scooter.

OpenAI has released a few open-weight models, including some that were considered quite competitive back in their day. It's been a while, though. Anthropic has never released anything but FUD.

I was feeling very guilty last night as I was watching YouTube and getting 30s+ unskippable ad blocks every 10 minutes in some video. And the repetition and low quality were grating on me. I thought: being rich is never having to watch ano

Trump and Hegseth cannot be compared to Roosevelt and Stimson. (Notwithstanding Hegseth's illegitimate attempt to rename the DoD to what it was in Stimson's day.) Entirely different class of people altogether.
