Can’t upset the dear leader! Yeah, it was a notable absence and definitely intentional.

I don’t think it’s different. Recoverable == Reversible to an extend. Unless you take reversible in the strictest sense of “undo” it’s different. But you can’t “undo” a leadership decision, all you can do is later correct it and recover. So

Often framed as “one vs two-way doo decisions” at Amazon. Video of Bezos talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxsdOQa_QkM . IMO it’s a useful decision making strategy at times, mostly to not overthink the easi

Revenue, but what about profit? Google can be cash positive but I’m not sure Anthropic can be the same.

How is this related?

This month I read "Carthage Must Be Destroyed" ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10133950-carthage-must-b... ), which dives deep into Hannibal's war against Rome (and the other punic wars). I high

It is incredibly relevant. If murder is prevented by having people play violent games and live out their fantasy there, isn’t that a good thing? I’m not convinced that it would be, but it’s an interesting hypothesis.

It still restricts access to literature. It is still a ban, and it is a limit of freedom to explore literature. But I agree with you, different scale of a similar problem.

Literature should be able to explore tough topics and spark discussion. There are numerous interpretations of reading a book.. for example, if in the book it is written that a 10 year old had sex with a 30 year old, that could be the fantas

Although we do have many more people now working on these problems than any time in the past. That said, science progresses one dead scientist at the time so might still take generations for a new golden era.

But apart from side projects these true new setups happen rarely. When working at a company you probably work on an already established codebase with known patterns. So what you say is true about boilerplate reduction, but that’s not a huge

To be honest it kinda sounds like a benefit for my use-case. I don’t engage with adult content on there and use it for one server with friends. And this will reduce spam from random accounts. Will see if it remains usable without uploading

Yeah I left a response about that in another comment. Sapiens (sapiens) perhaps, but not true for the entire homo line.

Yes, but more likely insects as first small “animals”. Hunting animals takes more effort than eating fruits etc. I know it’s all vague delineation of where our species really started, and at which point you would no longer consider it the h

by Insanity 8mo ago
Our species started out predominantly eating fruits, vegetables, nuts,.. As hunter gatherers, meat eating came later and initially was still not a dominant source of nutrition. So yes, you eventually evolved for this, but it wasn’t the domi

RIP. Original email mentions “too young age of 91”, but IMO that’s a beautiful age to reach, especially for a life seemingly well lived!

I think that’s more about model performance degrading due to less computational resources being assigned to them over time.

I know, but that's not typically how you see titles posted here. I'm just disappointed as I enjoy writing Haskell. :)
471.
by Insanity 8mo ago
Post had nothing to do with Haskell so the title is a bit misleading. But rest of article is good, and I actually think that Agentic/AI coding will probably evolve in this way. The current tools are the infancy of AI assisted coding. I

Nit: saying “this country” without context on where the parent poster is from or where you are from is kinda useless. From context, you probably mean USA. And I’d agree, however the US was always more technology minded than scientifically m

They forgot the “don’t be evil” era ended a long time ago. I applaud the initiative but it’s naive to think this’ll change anything. And when push comes to shove these people wont quit their comfy job in this economic climate.

I think it’s a good antidote to the hype train. These things are impressive but still limited, solely hearing about the hype is also a problem.

They’re already trying to redefine the AGI playing field by doing so.

For people who’s main computing devices are phones, this isn’t hard to believe at all. Interacting outside of the tech bubble is eye opening. Conversely, the hair stylist might have mentioned the brand of a super popular scissor supplier&#x

Interesting. Honestly I don't know as much about his philanthropy, which ideology does he push? How did it make lives worse?

by Insanity 9mo ago
They work in healthcare, education, gender equality initiatives, green energy.. I’m not a fan of MSFT but there are worse uses of the money he made from the company. I think it’s a bit unfair to categorize all of his contributions to charit

These binary distinctions (mostly) don't work for people in the real world. It's not a book or movie where people are clearly either good or bad, in reality all people are a mix of both. He's still doing his work on philanthr
