This might be true for a normal definition of success, but not lottery-winner style success like Facebook. If you look at Microsoft, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, Google, and so on, the founders all have few or zero previous attempts at starting

Yes, you can't use any of the heuristics you develop for human writing to decide if the LLM is saying something stupid, because its best insights and its worst hallucinations all have the same formatting, diction, and style. Instead, y

Most of the big labs never go into their models' limitations. OpenAI does it best, despite their inveterate hype-building. Their releases always have a reasonable limitations section, usually with text/image/video examples of

It's a bit like the Easter Islanders cutting down all of their trees for wood. Where does Google management think they'll get search results if they kill the entire internet? Has anyone at Google thought that far ahead?

That's the goal, but the AI Overview LLM is terrible at summarizing, and will misunderstand even straightforward single-source answers. Then it will repeat its newly created misinformation as fact.

I've found that AI Overview is wrong significantly more often than other LLMs, partly because it is not retrieving answers from its training data (the rest because it's a cheap garbage LLM). There is no "wisdom of the crowd

That would be quite an implementation flaw if it didn't account for the phone's own vibrations. Lots of countries use widespread emergency alert messages frequently.

Their "AI Overview" has not noticeably improved on its (many) failings for at least a year. In that time, Google's LLMs have gotten much better. They aren't implementing the advances they've made, presumably for cos

I'm no expert, but from the full press release it appears this experiment is the first time they've even been competitive with tokamaks, and are still behind the latest (unpublished) tokamak results.

That is curious. I've only tried multimaterial work with an AMS Lite on an A1, but it critically compromised layer bonding due to residue, and it was a reproducible problem.

Understandable, there are plugins and workarounds for fillets in OpenSCAD but they're not great. If you're using Open Cascade through something other than FreeCAD, you may be having a better experience anyway. FreeCAD uses their o

I don't think it has anything to do with a halo around Asian companies. Bambu and Creality are both Chinese. I've used plenty of Prusa, Ender, and Bambu printers, and this is what I've found: Bambu: break the least. That&#x27

If we're comparing, it would be useful to look at the way these things are done on a Bambu printer. Z-axis and XY-axis calibration: Designed to be unnecessary. Not possible with stock software. Possible with Orcaslicer on old or custom

Printing multiple materials with an AMS-like system will usually cause print failures. Remnants of the materials will stick in the single print head and mix with the incompatible materials. And manually switching isn't feasible if you&

This is true, but it's not a reason to put buggy in quotes. FreeCAD is, objectively, full of bugs. Running into bugs all the time also limits what you can create. For hobbyist 3d printing purposes, Solvespace and OpenSCAD can cover the

I think you're right, AI art and AI software dev are not analogous. The point of art is to create art. There are a lot of traditions and cultural expectations around this, and many of them depend on the artist involved. The human in th

Simpler than that: AI co-opted the hype machine and the buzzword gurus, and therefore the investor money.

The best general model you can run locally is probably some version of Gemma 3 or the latest Mistral Small. On a Windows machine, this is limited by VRAM, since system RAM is too low-bandwidth to run models at usable speeds. On an M-series

It's not just the virtualization, ChromeOS has had a lot of work put into performance. The low-end ARM Chromebooks use the same hardware as budget Android devices, and they're noticeably faster. My Android phone uses more RAM doin

That's sad news. ChromeOS is much faster and more efficient than Android. Turning off the Android subsystem in low-end Chromebooks is a huge performance boost, even when no Android apps are open.

General intelligence and social intelligence are correlated, which makes discussion difficult. Yale's a good example, though. Applicants need a base level of academic achievement to get in, but it's not actually that high. They di
