Ai is brainrot because that’s what many people choose to produce with it, and it’s easy to produce brainrot at scale with AI. But it’s hardly the only thing you can produce with it. Crap content is definitely over represented. It’s an erro

Ants are also a special case because the vast majority of ants cannot reproduce. Only the queen and drones are reproductive agents, 99.9 percent of the colony are non reproductive, so their investment in the survival of the colony is total,

That works for people in cities, if cities were made to by usable by cyclists and pedestrians. Not so much for people that live in rural areas.

lol looks like they are using a similar methodology to how we use Claude in house. Honestly, the code we write with AI is cleaner, better documented, better factored, more maintainable, and less bugs than back in old days before code assist

I don’t know but it’s either completely vibes driven or, maybe, it uses a TOF sensor to know how far from your face it is . It has framing cues that seem to adjust, so it’s plausible that it gives you an approximate framing based on the dis

Mmmmmmmmmm… sort of. If you are keeping inside the LEGO level of complexity, almost. But just as with code, if the project is complex you need a real engineer herding the cats. That said, it certainly can extend the reach of an effort, and

The problem I’m having is not this. I’ve got it pretty finely honed at creating concise ,correct code to specifation, but using it is a nightmare cycle of make a decision, wait 3-5 minutes, make another decision, wait 3-5 minutes… and it’s

That’s kinda what I mean. Maybe it only works well in some languages, but with the harness I built for C and C++ does a fantastic job of adhering to very strict architecture and style guides. Way cleaner, more readable, better factored, an

This x 10 . I don’t understand how people are saying you can’t use LLMs to get crazy productivity gains. If you can’t write quality code with LLMs at ludicrous speed, you’re holding it wrong. You will have occasional bad days and regressio

Restricting the models isn’t about restricting offensive capabilities. They were already very well aligned to reduce that risk. This recent government interference is about trying to preserve US offensive cyberwarfare and cyberespionage cap

You are assuming that most projects are responsive in today’s ai firehose climate. They are not. This at least Tells users of those Projects to either find developers or write their own. I’m onboard with this being suboptimal. But as someon

The point is that anyone looking for zero days has them in spades, in this age of LLM use. So, knowing that bad actors have an unending river of cheaply acquired zero days, the best response is to publish them so that maintainers also have

The real reason, afaik, that the US is trying to restrict access to SOTA models is that a very large component of USA tailored access injections and surveillance relies on exploits and weaknesses that these models will easily detect. Thus,

I’ve raised 5, doing 6 and 7 right now. I’m not sure I can exactly explain why, but touchscreens are fundamentally different from a developmental standpoint. Also low res screens don’t seem to have the same effect. High resolution Touchsc

There was a prominent hacker news article about it today, but it seems to have disappeared? Or more like I can’t find it. Look up 360 security technology tulongfeng and yitianzhen , as well as Sakana AI’s Fugu series, IIRC. GLM5.2 is also

I doubt an administration would openly admit to sabotaging the ability for companies and individuals to safeguard their products against cyberattacks from the US government lol. That’s pretty much taking the mask all the way off. It’s the o

It’s probably highly variable depending on location and the quality of your radio/antenna. It’s useless where I am.

It definitely will be. They are trying to preserve their offensive cyberwarfare and cyberespionage capabilities. It’s not about “bad actors”. It’s about defensive capabilities becoming pervasive and cheap.

Umm mostly. IMHO DAB is a failure, at least for vehicles.

What are they wanting to build? It’s hard to put much information on lower frequencies, afaik?

ProjectLint sounds like an excellent tool for LLMs to use! (A tiny bit is sarcasm here) but seriously, delegation of (flagging) decisions off to deterministic tools is exactly the right call whenever it’s practical to do so. We write a lot

Nah, it’s only industrial process control… YOLO!

You don’t write the doc. You talk to the LLM about the idea and the anchor points, and have it write the doc.

I’m sure it depends on the project, stack, and dev. I know loc is a terrible metric, but … For me, my human only productivity in the firmware work I do is usually around 100-500 loc a day on good days. Obviously more when clean-slating th
