Well, #2 is something that historically has regularly been required by the powers that be, so the addition of #1 as another option is actually an improvement.

Oh. I thought they were going to use AI to create an artificial Steve Jobs. Never mind.

I have the opposite reaction, when it is confident, or says I am right, I accuse it of guessing to see what it says. I say "I think you are getting me to chase a guess, are you guessing?" 90% of the time it says "Yes, honestl

Judging from the number of comments, it seems that this follows the universal rule of 'yes/no question in the headline' where the answer is always 'no'.

There seems to be a focus on understanding when talking about LLMs and solving problems. Personally, I do not think understanding is required. I can write a very small program that can calculate Pi to however many digits I like, or calculat

You can easily get compressed episodes of a TV show that are 250MB, so it's like watching a TV series at the rate of 2 episodes every 5 minutes. Obviously better quality is in the range 500MB-1.5GB for a 45-minute episode, so even bein

This is why I have a pi-hole and a selection of addons for my browser. I am considering moving to technitium though, it seems better featured.

So just get the AI to summarise the codebase giving you more time to design a better buggy whip.

Of course, if you use AI, it's very hard to know the sources used for training that went into the output you just got.

That is essentially what the article says, that mornings are the most productive time, but it has shifted the focus from you doing the work, and mostly in the morning, to you outlining the work clearly in the morning, and the agent doing th

I talked about basic principles of QM, gravity, time and relativity with Claude, then talked about implications of that, and claude came up with the idea that mass causes time and gravity as emergent properties that only affect macro scale

The irony is that you could still code the way you always did, where you control every pixel. Nothing is stopping you. But you would not be able to make anything anywhere near as complex as you can with modern tools.

This is happening right now with cars. Regular payments or some features on the car you bought outright stop working. Mercedes restricts the performance of some cars if you don't pay $1200 a year for the “Acceleration Increase”. You ha

They nearly have it in the article but don't take the next step, which is to realise that time is gravity. We are falling towards the future at the speed of causality. You can slow your experience of that by travelling really fast, o

You can't have end to end encryption without ends. That said, I have managed to write encrypted end to end communication, using wireguard no less, that doesn't tell a third party server who is talking, or what they are saying. Thi

Because he did it in a day, not a few weeks. If I want to go from Bristol to Swindon, I could walk there in about 12 hours. It's totally possible to do it by foot. Or I could use a car and be there in an hour. There and back, with a fu

What's the point of owning a car if you don't build it by hand yourself? Anyway, all it will do is stop you being able to run as well as you used to be able to do when you had to go everywhere on foot.

So... If you were a patent troll, you would get a friendly party to file a complaint that you know you will win, then nobody will ever be able to challenge your patent again?

Often, a user presented with a progress bar will wait much longer without frustration than a user without one will do. Sometimes, making the code faster is non-trivial and is not cost-effective when compared to making the user simply not co

I have found that partly, happiness is greatly helped along by just not remembering, or not thinking about, the things that make you miserable. On a Buddhist level, just living in the moment you are in, surrounded by the things and situatio

by My_Name 11mo ago
I think firstly, we should figure out what exactly we mean by happier. If we eliminate things like being more content, satisfied, at peace and so on, happiness is a surprisingly ephemeral thing to try to define. Is it a long term feeling, o

I find that they know what they know fairly well, but if you move beyond that, into what can be reasoned from what they know, they have a profound lack of ability to do that. They are good at repeating their training data, not thinking abou
