I don't know, but you may find it interesting to consider the 3 different types of probability(Karl Popper): Intuition/Psychological/Subjective: Like 'there is a 70% chance I go to the gym today'. (They are probably

What phone do you have? I havent tried Open Camera in a while, but my conclusion is that the phone's camera app is best.

Probabilistically speaking, the entire thing is fine. But seeing my engineer freak out about flying in a plane, despite passing Diff Eq and knowing the probability of a crash... Feelings/emotions do matter. This is why populist demagog

The Karl Popper in me says: Its barely useful science because its not falsifiable. Its like a horoscope, it applies to everyone. Its closer to a tautology "Its raining or its not" than a contradiction "Its raining and its not

Anyone else completely not interested? Since GPT5, its been cost cutting measure after cost cutting measure. I imagine they added a feature or two, and the router will continue to give people 70B parameter-like responses when they dont ask

Weirdly, I do have my contributions to science. I run a pretty popular blog, 250k-1M users per year. Academia will refer to my stuff. Various levels of the US government use my data. To be honest, I think I got lucky + I was a (hardcore) St

Can I doubt your claim? I have had such terrible luck with AI coding on <400B models. Not to mention, I imagine your codebase is tiny. Or you are working for some company that isnt keeping track of your productivity. I am trying super ha

You are living in pre-inflation mindset. The US per capita GDP is 90k now. This means its 5% per year. Not really a luxury when people spend all day on their phones. Heck, you'd call walmart groceries a luxury because they are more exp

This might have been true pre-agent AI programming, but honestly the code seems better than ever. It finds edge cases better than me. I know... I know buddy. The world changed and I don't know if I'm going to have a job.

>The first thing an academic does is check where a paper is published, before even reading it. It's a crutch. This is actually what ruined my respect for Academia. My Science PhD buddy looked at the journal title and the claim, then

Nothing is really usable outside Opus. I've tried too. Wasted a few days trying out even high end paid models.

but but but but unified memory! (jk, I don't actually believe in Apple marketing words) There might be future optimizations. Like, have your small model do COT to find where to look for memory that is relevant.

Its wild watching Apple change. They lost their luxury brand and have pivoted to general population. Today, every unemployed teen and stay at home mom has a $40/mo iphone. It lost its status. These are some final nails in the coffin. A

I basically just posted the same response. I generally agree with everything you said. Only thing to add, maybe we have the most senior of seniors verifying the decisions of AI.

I learned this lesson the hard way with OneDrive. Now I only use Windows for legacy software that my customers force on me. Fedora has not just been liberating, but jaw dropping. I actually felt offended that I had wasted so much time on de

Meanwhile last time I checked, Android bug bounty is higher. iPhone makes you an easy target. Sorry Besos, security through obscurity was a bad idea... but you should have known better.

Hierarchies can punish this. Note that the legislature and judicial branches exert their power. Epstein files got released if you need proof. (However, if we are International Systems Realists, there are inevitable effects that happen. I ha

I unsubbed because ChatGPT was no longer SOTA. They def got cheap. Reminds me of that graph where late customers are abused. OpenAI is already abusing the late customers. Claude is pretty great.

We better get a liberal democratic Iran government out of this. We better remove and halt nuclear powers for the rest of my life. I suppose pick either, and it was successful. My personal polymarket says we wont get either. Trump and Israel

>unified memory This is just marketing speak. Stop repeating marketing. It isnt a walled garden, its a walled prison. Unified memory is just regular memory. There is nothing special about integrated GPUs.
