I'm confused why you would replace your 16" M1 Pro with a 15" M5 Air... on which axes is that an upgrade over your M1 Pro?

What would be the bottleneck?

My hardware isn't powerful enough to try, so I'm asking out of genuine curiosity, not to push back: what do you use DS4 for? Did it replace e.g Claude Code with Opus for you, or was it replacing something else?

The point you’re making is that AI is an intrinsically bad technology, but that does not follow from this news story, which merely evidences that AI is in demand and supply has not caught up.

Who exactly is “coordinating” that effort? Surely everyone except the datacenter builders and the big hosted AI models has exactly the opposite incentive.

That’s exactly the point. Wrangler, being cloudflare’s primary CLI tool, is a microcosm of exactly the problem GP was articulating: it’s focused way more on adding new commands than improving existing ones. Many products, even supposedly “G

Now you are retreating into semantics :) My original statement was that life expectancy in many countries is in the mid-80s. Which is, in fact, true. If you want to split hairs about what constitutes “mid”, you can, but I doubt many people

Do you have any evidence that the code quality of OpenClaw is to blame for its decline in popularity? I would say far more likely is that its creator was acqui-hired and Anthropic banned OpenClaw usage. The reality is that AI is both capabl

You say my claim is not true then proceed to acknowledge it is true. To be clear about the fact: about 1/4 of all countries have a life expectancy >80, and as you said, more than a dozen in mid-80s.

Life expectancy in many countries is mid 80s.

I don’t think that’s an accurate or useful characterization of modern AI like Claude at all. It is not simply regurgitating knowledge. It applies its knowledge to create bespoke solutions to the problem you pose to it, and is able to self e

The article does not claim they have achieved recursive self improvement... just that it appears to be a plausible outcome given the progress of AI development in the past few years. I don't know about you, but AI advancements have b

Are you saying this result is uninteresting and therefore AI slop or puffery? Obviously OpenAI has a motivation to "market" the accomplishment as much as possible, but surely you agree it IS a remarkable achievement?

You're arguing against a claim I did not make. Freenode had full-network outages periodically. ddos attacks, infrastructure failures etc. and when those happened, the practical experience was the same... people waited it out. Nobody co

I mean, when freenode would go down it was more or less the same thing, no?

Just speculating, but I don't think it's unrelated. Discord heavily utilizes Cloudflare, and Cloudflare uses Let's Encrypt for a certificate issuance. If they happened to have a certificate signing dependency in some operatio

I would say a better analogy is using Google… you can use it as a tool to seek information and deepen your understanding. But it requires your brain to be engaged and to be putting that stream of knowledge into practice.

I did mine on nixOS with a nice little indicator built into Noctalia. It's remarkable how similar its performance is to Wispr Flow... and it runs locally...

I think you missed the point. produce : chef :: code : programmer chefs use produce to create dishes of food; chefs do not generally grow their own food. the point they were making is that the code is actually the means to the end, not the

I feel fairly confident that Miyazaki would hate this :( This decontextualization is the antithesis of the creative studio culture he worked so hard to cultivate. The Ghibli Museum in Japan goes into this “embodied creativity” idea in great

Ah I see, the paper is much more helpful in understanding how this is actually used. Where did you find that linked? Maybe I'm grepping for the wrong thing but I don't see it linked from either the link posted here or the full con

Right, I'm saying "model training" is vague enough that I have no idea what Claude actually does with this document. Edit: This helps: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08073

I don't understand what this is really about. Is this: - A) legal CYA: "see! we told the models to be good, and we even asked nicely!"? - B) marketing department rebrand of a system prompt - C) a PR stunt to suggest that the
