You can get a dynamo hub front wheel for push bikes: https://bikepacking.com/plan/dynamo-hubs-lighting-charging-g... However you can expect around only 3 watts of output at normal speeds and you will need to put in aro

Great! Can we ban it for adults too?

Interesting... I downloaded dataset-agent and removed various different styles from the textarea (with an intention of providing a PR) including the overflow-x: hidden and I tried Safari and Chrome with both the global Mac setting of Always

"When have you most successfully hacked a non-computer system to your advantage?" Amazing resourcefulness, you should consider applying to YC if you haven't! And I hope you manage to find a solution to your problem it sounds

Yes I agree, the solution committed is horrible, but nobody cares any more. We have entered a very strange parallel universe where because AI can work things out it's easier to take solutions that are sub optimal and just churn out (po

They can also potentially allow said issues to be found and fixed more quickly - and also allow teams to implement deeper security boundaries throughout their systems such that one big steel door getting compromised does not lead to everyth

These things go in cycles, we’ll be back - or potentially something better will come along.

Yes they already had an accident where the model magically downgrades itself, very likely that it just produces less good output rather than just stops working isn’t it… my guess is they were testing these features, accidentally or not, and

Is anyone building (open source?) G-Suite - I’m honestly tired of paying Google money and I think everyone needs independence.

by andy_ppp 4mo ago
It’s becoming more like an organism putting out tentacles, and one day soon those relentlessly proactive explorations of these systems’ environments will become more for the system to escape its boundaries than it is to complete human drive

I said I wondered if the models were going to start poisoning distillation and I got downvoted to hell. It’s interesting to me that they are now downgrading ML research too in this model, I would argue this implies the terrifying and imposs

We’ve had a warmer than average year worldwide every year since 1976. I suppose it’s just coincidence that exactly what climate scientists said would happen keeps happening and keeps getting worse.

by andy_ppp 4mo ago
Yes, the plan seems to be anti human in the extreme. Why do you need the plebs if they can be entirely replaced by AI? But the question then becomes why does the AI (and before that their security detail in a post money world) need billiona

My god, it's perfect.

Great for everyone except those who invest in index funds (directly or indirectly) and want some level of stability?

I’m even seeing colleagues using AI slop instead of writing responses on Slack/Teams… I have no idea if I should call out this behaviour, usually I have been saying “finding the above text difficult to parse” followed by a yes/no

Funny, Opus 4.8 just logged into the database using uncommitted .env file and ran some DB queries to figure things out so I’m not sure it’s that security conscious - it seems to be getting more intelligent to me and I bet if you frame it as

The intern probably knows more about their work than the CEO in 99% of orgs. The leaf nodes who do the work know more about anything than their managers (who think they know everything but, in most organisations, understand very little). Yo

You can of course still do the second thing, the types are not forced if you don't want them!

I wonder if being consistently candid is a superior business strategy?

I doubt it, they seem to keep getting 10-20% better every time for me

Would Musk have standing for asking that question about non-profit to for profit companies? I think this would be a role for the government rather than a private individual and the Trump admin is not exactly fond of enforcing regulations.

Great stuff, one thing I tend to do is set the body font size to be 10px but in ems so all calculations can be made easily - body { font-size: 0.625em; // 10px } and then if you want a heading to be 20px you just do h1 { font-size

AFAIK fecal transplants do not work well long term, has there been any research in making them more sticky? Lots of things you could trial but I have a feeling it’s the immune system responding to the right bacteria incorrectly…

It’s like we are trying to run as fast as possible towards an AI controlled disaster by connecting absolutely everything we can to the AI… even in the worst sci-fi the robots need to steal codes to get access to systems and we are just leav

I think we are describing the same set of issues with different emphases.

Yes I used LoRA and it’s fine but I’m not convinced the model doesn’t end up more stupid and less general

by andy_ppp 5mo ago
To build good software you need to think for yourself rather than aimlessly making a pastiche, derivative work never produces good art.

by andy_ppp 5mo ago
These models being able to generalise at coding will likely get worse if you remove high quality training data like all of python.
