Are they using LLMs to close that gap, or is this their Nuvia acquisition doing the heavy lifting?

They won't, because they'd need an ARM architecture license.

I disagree, because you can represent the constituent parts of any AI model as code and data. We can reliably build AI with this knowledge, but not brains. Understanding does have layers, and that's why "poorly understood" is

The feature you're describing is called "tool calling" in harness parlance. It's not Anthropic-exclusive, it's probably broken on your local models because you misconfigured Ollama (or it misconfigured itself; Ollam

I disagree. I abandoned Claude during Opus 4.8 for GLM 5, it was a flat upgrade for my work. I can't imagine going back to Claude and dealing with refusals or silent model degradation.

It's not openly given. The IDF, the subject of her discussion, has direct editorial authority over every word that was published here. The Israeli State has no free press. Linking to Times of Israel for non-IDF related topics is a much

Times of Israel is headquartered in Jerusalem and subject to the IDF Military Censor. Not a super reliable source.

It's pretty easy to follow if you know which neoliberal polity forced Japan to abandon traditionalism.

Yeah. Just a few years ago, LessWrong was derided as the home of conceited, low-quality opinion pieces. Now there's a bizarre marketing push to launder their credibility and force them into the spotlight. I imagine that thousands of ta

The Times of Israel is headquartered in Jerusalem, and therefore subject to the IDF Military Censor. I take this article with a grain of salt, even The Guardian has more editorial freedom.

Here's a better example. Compare these two marketing tones: Low confidence: "Our engineers work tirelessly to ensure that frontier research doesn't step on the toes of users. It's a deliberate touch to keep people in the

It's an observation of how people respond to marketing. Apple objectively dragged their feet on LLM software and hardware research. After 3 (!!!) years we finally have a good LLM Siri, and the first note that this guy makes is "oh

If Apple was a frontier lab, this article would not begin with "This is unethical AI, it deceives people, puts people out of work, and draws 100% of its power from coal and LNG." It's the same flavor of ethics-washing that

> Also, this is ethical AI: It deceives nobody, puts nobody out of work, and draws 100% of its power from renewable sources. I like how this is cast as a selling point instead of tacit admission that Apple is not on the frontier.

That opinion is work-ethic related, not CUDA-related. The stance is reasonable too; why complain about characteristics of CUDA that can't be changed? Your job as a CUDA engineer isn't to decide whether or not a proprietary API&#x2

Which regime? SAVAK tortured and murdered tens of thousands of their own citizens with the CIA's help. If it's "devil worship" to protest my taxes being spent on torturing civilians, then so be it.

I think that data-dense paradigm died with Catalina, sadly. GTK/Libadwaita has a lot of room for improvement, but I've come around substantially on their direction. Touch UIs are an inevitability of HID, and most attempts at accom
