What I gathered is that "mog" is from "amog" which means "alpha male of the group", which makes "mogging" being "out-alpha'd". Which isn't new, it goes back years if not decades to

I'm also not sure why you'd think that, Apple's been at the forefront of "AI" for years now, running models locally and optimizing their CPUs for local workloads to e.g. identify people, places and pets (much apprec

Anything that goes to production should have a 4-6+ eyes rule, at least one reviewer that can review the changes in isolation. If tools or LLMs can help them with it then that's fine, but it should always be at least two humans involve

Only a matter of time (if not already) before there's counter-LLMs or whatnot that convince free-reign LLM agents to go and generate cryptocurrencies for the attacker or run propaganda campaigns.

It's one of the biggest and wealthiest companies in the world, but your comment seems to imply they have to pick and choose what they pursue. They really don't, especially if it's hard- vs software.

Plus, if someone else does it better (or different), I bet they've got a team and technology at a 90% done state waiting to jump on it, pick it apart and make it better. I don't think they're not doing anything.

Slowly? They realised that and ousted him in 2023. I'm not sure if you didn't know or just forgot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_Sam_Altman_from_Ope...

That was a mistake they made initially, but iirc they got rid of it after a while.

It may be high, but so is cost of living; a better way is to compare spending power.

Assume that there will be a mass extinction event somewhere in the next 1000 years - meteor, WW3, whatever. If you'd then play a timelapse of earth, you'd see it on fire, cooling down, oceans forming, greenery forming, continental

Thankfully it's not an either / or, I don't trust any models. This is a healthy attitude to have because you shouldn't trust anyone on the internet either, especially when it comes to specific subjects.

Unfortunately the reality nowadays seems to be that besides the dated QT, there are no good or popular cross-platform UI libraries for these use cases. It's bold that they built their own.

I also loved / want to love ST but it seems its ecosystem has collapsed, a lot of plugins haven't had an update in over 5 years.

The AI stuff was a lot more prominent in an earlier version, but they tweaked it a bit. It's the same with Warp forcing a login at first. Jetbrains is a heavyweight IDE, but I'm not sure if the weight is worth the features it offe

They have been saying it about Russia for five years now, and while I'm sure they're hurting, it takes a lot more to fully collapse an economy, especially one as big as Russia or especially the US.

Well only to a point, I don't think there's been any significant or formal "we spell this existing word like this now" in a very long time. The only way English language really evolves now is by the addition / inven

I don't mind buying from china, as long as they're not irreplaceable essentials (like oil). Solar panels and -batteries are fine as long as they meet safety standards and don't have backdoors, and for all the fearmongering th

Not necessarily, but was the reasoning sound and have the tradeoffs been made? The website ( https://uutils.github.io/ ) shows some reasonable "why"s (although I disagree with making "Rust is more appealing&quo

Thing is, these tools are so critical that even one error may cause systems to be compromised; rewriting them should never be taken lightly. (Actually ideally there's formal verification tools that can accurately test for all of the is

I think people 'scan' for LLM tells so that they know to read the text with some skepticism instead of accepting it as authoritative; this is probably a healthy attitude to have. However, I'm sure that over time the 'tel

I think there's many forms of meditation in that regard, some intentional, some cultural, some spiritual. Going to church on sunday can be considered a moment of meditation, no tech around etc.

Arguably, same with books and - even moreso - newspapers. I vaguely remember doomsaying about people only scanning newspaper headlines. But think about it, a good newspaper has a mix of news, background, entertainment, opinions, adverts, et

It's an interesting analogy you're making because... this is the lived reality of a lot of people that are interested in fictional worldbuilding / stories. And it flips to being real in the film Galaxy Quest.

It still produces wrong answers regardless though, not because of the training data but because of just... intrinsics. The question is what an acceptable error rate is, how severe those errors are, and whether a human would make comparable

Not to be a doomer but I'm confident we passed the point of no return decades ago.
