I noticed it has a pretty small context window of only 32k. For most tasks I guess it would be enough with ample context.

Sounds pretty promising, good luck. You could consider a reputation system too if you haven't got one already.

I think meetup apps need to be aggressively anti-commercial. Meetup became a crappy stew of for-profit low effort AI flyer events designed to harvest money from people. I used an app called Nomadtable for a while but there too I caught orga

Consequences of gathering a bunch of neurodivergent people. I used to go to FOSDEM but I can’t with being around so many people with poor social skills and poor showering skills again.

Japan desperately needs some defense of its own, American is an unreliable ally and Japan has no nukes. And we’ve seen what happens to countries with no nukes.

GitHub stars have been botted to hell for a long time now. I don't know how the farms acquire so many accounts, last time I tried to register a GitHub account I had to jump through so many hoops. The platform needs an overhaul, startin

I never understood the Woz praise to be honest. Nice dude, did some good work in the 80s, been pretty much coasting ever since. With 40+ years and literal billions the shroud of exceptionalism kind of disappears when nothing much is done wi

I heard some people are even making misaligned AIs at home. At first it cries in the night, then about six years later it learns how to open the biscuit tin…

There's tonnes of UI bugs. A more severe one I've experienced is that my approved PRs have been shown as still waiting on review, leading some of them to be delayed by weeks.

It should be changed so flagged comments are still viewable, just hidden. This would somewhat counteract the disagreement flagging. Maybe show who flagged too.

I’m fine with such technology so long as the courts don’t treat “verified” images as truth.

Gorbachev's dead now and look who sits in his place. I'm not so sure such a treaty would still be respected anyway. As as for who sits in Reagan's place...

I’m a 2000s kid and feel the same way. The internet was so different even just 10 years ago. I’ve come to the conclusion that smartphones ruined it. They brought the masses online who didn’t care for internet culture. They also gave more ac

Yes, but AI enables businesses to cut out the middleman developer. Business people can just directly convey what they want to the AI. Today, yes, this often leads to a mess. But for how long? According to Demis Hassabis, someone who I think

But does it actually work, or is it something made up because it sounds cool.

Does agent memory actually work as a concept yet? I've only seen LLMs commit garbage to memory and recall in irrelevant contexts.

You have to apply for access to the announcement as it’s very dangerous.

Probably JavaScript. Especially easy to get started with, you don't really even need to install or set up anything.

Holy crap I didn't know such a thing could exist, thank you. It's so responsive too. Please delete this before anyone sees it :)

When I was at school I never really saw the tools intended to get kids interested in CS work out. In fact, many of my classmates began to hate programming because of the Python coursework we had to do. (terrible language choice for classes
