I’m wondering besides the hiss and wow/flutter, what is the frequency range of cassette tape? Is there an “eq” to tape where certain frequencies are rendered more strongly than others? And how does it compare with records?

I use to think small models needed more handholding but I think it’s more a question of age. Newer models do fine with less handholding regardless of size. Yesterday for fun I tried Ornith 9G on my 16GB M1 with OpenCode. It took 3.5 hours d

Maybe a way to do product segmentation or sandbagging? Then later they can claim gains by removing the restriction on sub-agents.

I think more universities will follow. Every prof I speak to has noticed shorter attention spans, low effort LLM writing, and inability to assess competence.

I don’t know how many people are claustrophobic, but for me this would be a non-starter. Edit: apparently 12.5% of the population has claustrophobia. If 5% of flyers choose a different airline due to simulated windows that would wipe out an

It’s on the World Health Organization list of essential medicines. 150M people rely on it to manage their diabetes. It’s been prescribed for 65 years. Forgive me if I’m highly sceptical of your assertion that going for a walk after meals is

By now I feel I can write these articles: - benefits of AI murky to slightly positive - hiring impact limited except for junior level The problem is that these two statements each have massive implications, so instead of treating these find

You did miss something. But the picture doesn’t help…why would you start an article with an image that telegraphs “low effort”?

Yes the article took a while to get going, but once it did it was thoughtful and well reasoned.

Even if I agreed with the author (which I don’t), from a purely selfish perspective why would you want the idea you’ve ostensibly worked hard on communicated in a way that says “low effort”?

I suspect that a lot of these “you need to guide the AI” rules worked better in the past when the models were dumber. Now less is more.

If European companies host Chinese models there’s no way to make the usual “privacy” argument. Nor can they claim monopoly. What’s left then, ban math?

They saw the threat a long time ago, but then it was in their interest to not have pesky regulations get in the way of world domination. Now they’re being outcompeted and so we should suddenly have regulations. Time to put your big boy pant

I used to think you were only cool if you used AWS. But then I was cult-deprogrammed and now I feel smart every time I spin up a performant and reliable VPS for peanuts.

It’s wild that a single DOM read can tell which OS you’re running based on how the browser hyphenates words. Details like this give you an appreciation for how hard it is to mimic a real user if you’re trying to automate web tasks like scra
