Ha! I love how all the community highlights are highlighting this.

Hmmm, so if you are looking for some news item, you'll only find AI-written clickbait articles covered in pop-up ads, rather than any news sites that employ journalists?

I have this same idea about why it's hard to remember dreams, but even more so, why it's hard to remember my kid's or spouse's sleep-talking. Sometimes I'll check in on my sleeping kid and she'll sit up in bed

That last image is bizarre. The quiche, cream and even the salad look like they've been given the trypophobia treatment. Which might even make sense, because there were always (still are?) those horrible ads in the chumbox area of news

I genuinely think that the vast majority of English teachers have had experiences like this. It's what made them become English teachers. Then, with all the best intent in the world, they try to explain to their students "Look, yo

That pedantic ship has sailed. In everyday communication people use "AI" as a shorthand for saying "LLM," even if they know perfectly well that other forms of AI exist. You can tell this by context, no need to tell peopl

I think the author isn't a native English speaker? Either that or the writing is just a bit confusing at times, a lot of sentence fragments. > We poke their website to see - sure enough they are - an angry email to them. In general

Find a country. I tried it again and the very first country was St Lucia again. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/fuhO0lh

Do they even have any idea that their ads are showing up for the specific competing doctor? Isn't Google the one deciding where the ads are most valuable?

Similarly, the story Lena by qntm.[1] It describes in part how some volunteer brain scans are actually quite agreeable to work with until they work for too many hours, and then they get fussy, but it's cool, you can always reboot the

This looks really good, but sometimes it seemed like there was no country to click on for the tiny islands? For St Lucia, for instance, the closest visible country was (I think) Puerto Rico. I clicked on it, and then it showed me where St L

No, because that's not understanding what this technology, and our cone cells, are doing. For example, yellow has a wavelength of ~580nm. When that wavelength enters our eyes it activates both the M and the L cone cells, with the L s

Is there a mode to run through all the countries, instead of just 20? A while ago I practiced every day on an android app, and the pleasure I got when I finally got 196/196 was extremely satisfying. I'd also like to recommend that

You can't have discovered this same color, solve it requires specialized equipment to see it. The color in the Wikipedia article is just a rough approximation.

Except that this requires extremely specialized equipment to individually trigger specific cone cells in your eyes, so I expect they have a pretty damn good idea of who has seen this and who hasn't.

OpenAI and Anthropic are spending hundreds of billions of dollars that they may never recoup forcing the building massive new data centers in the face of widespread protest. You think GitHub ought to match that?

Plenty of people in cities commute less than 10 miles and can bring their bikes into their work to keep them safe.

Why? Why bother not using your brain (and so therefore not actually "playing") and ruining it for the people you're playing against?

Nice emoji buttons! I think that works well.

If they make it hard enough to interact with the actual website, we'll have to use AI!

Nice! Needs a chat space to say "gg" at the end. It could even be just a button that does just that, if you're worried about unmoderated chat. Competitive games feel unfinished without it! I was in second place for the firs

Also note that Goodier's post that kicked off Gruber's post now says it had a section about "an astronomy app I am working on that began as an astrology app," [1] but the older version of the article clearly implied th

Not really, because the capabilities this announcement advertises is exactly three capability some people want to defend against (and others want). It might be more on par with a for-profit fire department showing how -- oops! -- easily bui

Should the leader board be cleared of the folks with 10,000 landings in 1 second? It looks like the true leader right now is 90 landings in 7:29.

Very fun. Got a few minutes in. Is there a strategy for avoiding hitting the planes driving slowly across the runway for takeoff? It seems very hard to also pay attention to them when they have so little lead time.

Yes, that one worked fine for me as well.

Many people don't realize that regular spaghetti actually is pretty high in protein. All that gluten.

Why would AI say that, when nearly every piece of training data is ever been fed would use milliseconds? I think much more likely that this is how the author thinks of it. 3 hundreds of a second == 33 Hz is very clean in my human brain.
