I would absolutely consider medication but 2 of my 3 siblings were meth heads likely in part trying to address the same thing in a path that ought to be legal and cleaner, but that's a different conversation. Anyway, not touching ADHD

The model's performance and efficiency seems like more evidence (bordering on the last nail in the coffin) against the assertion that inference will never be profitable to me, but I guess that's a common symptom of AI Psychosis ac

I'm beginning to wonder if one resolution to the Fermi Paradox is an Ouroboros loop of personalized content tailored to be exactly what one craves. No need for hunter killer robots, or global pandemic, just a gradual painless decline i

The only thing worse than 100% inhabiting your own cave is trying to fit into someone else's. I had a conversation this weekend with someone in an emerging startup that I initially wanted to join but increasingly didn't as I reali

I think it uses a variant of Iterated Closest Point* for that. It's cool to watch it do its thing. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_closest_point

And that's when we pay off the national debt for pennies on the worthless dollar. The pro move would be to stop lending the US money, but that's not going to happen.

I would absolutely believe people on the spectrum with hyperfocus-oriented ADHD (such as myself) might knock things out of the park with coding agents while everyone else is befuddled by their bizarre behavior. But then, I don't get th

After many decades of coding, probably 1M+ LOC*, for real, I am purposely doing most of my work through coding agents to understand their capabilities. No stupid demand that I take a day off from AI is remotely helpful here. But broadly my

In other news, Pascal's Wager makes no sense whatsoever if an omniscient all-knowing God exists that will see right through your deception. My own take here is stop treating "reasoning" as a sign of sentience or self awarenes

My wife wanted me to carry my cell phone with me even when I walked the dogs. We fought over this. I stood my ground. I work with technology, I love technology, but I need time away from it and my dogs are fantastic company and I want to wa

Which is as capitalism demanded unfortunately. We live like Temu Kings of old but there will be a bar tab for the party eventually. Good luck predicting when though.

The implicit contract is that you are online if you have to ask for the damned menu. It is not an improvement in the dining experience to scan a QR code to order, or to read a menu, an important part of the dining out experience, on a cell

Silence died before social media. Silence died with pervasive flat screen TVs everywhere sometime during the mid-90s. I was in grad school at the time, and one by one, the previously quiet spots in cafeterias between meals and nooks went lo

I suspect the free market of information content will ultimately sort this all out. I feel similarly about AI art, but to get to that point I had to go to my city's art museum and experience artwork in person. There's just no comp

I have no doubt they can benchmax their way into believing the differences caused by watermarking are imperceptible. But I'm skeptical there won't be a drop in quality that puts them at a disadvantage relative to competitors that

It is exactly that until the moment it isn't and it does something amazing, truly amazing, and I never see it coming when it does happen. But it doesn't happen all that often. It's just that it does happen here and there.

That currently costs $20 a month, $200 per month if you need the premium extreme deluxe package subsidized by everyone else paying for it and not utilizing it. When I was in grad school I budgeted the equivalent of $3,000 per year to mainta

What I'm looking forward to amidst all the negativity, fear, and loathing is for some 20something mathematician to outdo both humanity and machines by leaning hard into centauring to expand the frontiers of mathematics. Pretty much wha

Sure sure, but it is surprisingly like managing an intern, or a fresh engineer where there is a pre-existing language barrier. At least in my experience it is. There might be a dash of carefully negotiating with the devil himself in the mix

By their metrics, clearly, they are correct. But reading some books lately that were either from or set during the mid-70s to early 80s, the same tired political tropes were already in the zeitgeist. But also, from that link... "Americ
