That's why I keep using tsnet directly, where you can have as many virtual machines, doing sharing or funneling, as you want to. The CLI doesn't let you do as much as the go library does.

If an LLM writes AlphaZero, and it competes with itself, and is dominant (and beats stockfish!!!), with no book positions cribbed from its learning... The LLM has a process to beat chess. Just like, if it doesn't inherently know how to

So if you need a scratchpad to solve a problem, does that mean you cannot solve that problem?

Do I care if Richard Feynman was only able to do nuclear physics with the help of an abacus? Sure, a Spelling Bee is a fun thing to have. Little kids work so hard. They practice for hours. There's joy and heartbreak. Prized, someti

I feel like you're saying something as odd as "Transistors still aren't good at playing chess." I'm pretty sure Fable could write AlphaZero, which has no lineage in common with stockfish.

I agree that it's a fascinating to crawl inside an LLM, and also to crawl inside of a human, and try to understand the processes and limitations. Like, Phineas Gage is one of the most remarkable learning opportunities we ever had. Tha

I'm kind of exhausted... I want to sick Claude on porting tsnet to a C/C++ library that can run in a fat binary Actually Portable Executable. And then I want to use tailscale share / tailscale funnel APEs for... everything..

Do you want to measure the ability of the box, or measure the ability of the box with one hand tied behind its back? More to my point, I think it's stupid to have LLMs do work that should be done by programs... programs potentially wr

> The fact that the human would have a much harder time writing a useful program is irrelevant. Why? There's a box. You give it a problem, and it comes up with a solution. Why does it matter to you if the box is strictly a LLM, or i

Neat! Another way to achieve something like this is Cosmopolitan C Compiler, Actually Portable Executables. For example, Redbean. (Jart, all of your certs are bad! I can't open your websites any more!) http://justine.lol

What happens when you ask those same frontier models to write a chess-playing program? I feel like, this is a huge stumbling block that many people have. They'll give a model their data, and ask it questions. I vastly prefer letting

There was a feature on Amazon Web Services for a while, and I wish it was still there... Downloader pays. I make some content and upload it. When you want to download it, you pay Amazon the egress fees. And maybe I get to charge just a bi

Standalone? No. Most PC VR headsets require a PC. The Steam Frame will let you play 2D games (and some VR games), with no phone or PC attached.

Some practices are self-insured. Some practices have to pay the first million, up to five million, out of pocket.

Let's say every now and then, you need to do X. That means you need to be prepared to do X. And what if some of the components of X expire? That means you have to pay to keep them on hand. And the distribution of how often you do X is

My insurance premiums go up on their own. They go up more when I file claims. I'm betting the same is true of hospitals.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't know. I meant, "Yes, you're so damned right! It's even in the dictionary! I wish people would educate themselves and not believe lies!"

Merriam-Webster: "The meaning of TARIFF is a schedule of duties imposed by a government on imported or in some countries exported goods." Apparently the dictionary is "woke." Wikipedia: "A tariff, or import tax, is

Yeah, I think you've got it. Agreeing with you and continuing my thought: If I had to guess at the comic author's intention... It's commentary that the logic is flawed. If this is why you're doing tariffs, you're

How many 100% tariffs do you have on every good from an entire country? A scalpel is one thing. Dynamite is something else.

by MattCruikshank 1mo ago
It would certainly help if people wouldn't believe flat-out lies. Like, "other countries pay the tariffs." No. They don't. How can we have nuanced conversation about the trade-offs, if the leader of one political party

Great! I'm really excited. So, I want to make an RSS feed Gadget. And you will run an RSS Aggregator Gadget, and then some Presentation Gadget. Do I have that roughly right? How does my Gadget talk to yours? Cloudflare Tunnels for
