Yeah the dotcom crash didn’t prove that the internet was useless for business. And the housing crash didn’t mean houses don’t have value. We get hype bubbles. They’re (nearly?) always bigger than the thing they’re about, in a given time and

For sure. I just… I feel really really dumb every time I have to knock the rust off to use a language again.

It’s like “fill out your name and tell them you made less than a million dollars last year.”

I did something that sounds similar for my home assistant. The agent never executes anything. It has like four tools… search, request execute, request build, request update. The tool service runs vector search against the tools catalog. The

You might want to read up on what happened with the dumpster fire that’s vaguely called RCS before you go laying that at Apples feet. Also Apples cut is 15% unless you’re doing millions in revenue. Same as Google.

Out of curiosity, how does a chip that does inference calculations exfiltrate data without being seen? Has this happened already or is it just conceptually possible?

I have always had a problem, worse than most I think, where if I’m away from a language for a bit I lose my ability to write it quickly and competently, real quick. It doesn’t matter if I was quite competent in it… the mechanical bits fad

Makes me think something got jacked up adding/removing things from promotional bundles with other apps. It shouldn’t do that, obviously, but headspace does seem like it’s one that bundles “free” with a bunch of health insurance, educat

Dollar Shave Club. I didn’t need their product/service, but I only remember them a million years later because their original ad swept across the internet like wildfire.

Totally agree. And I expect at some point people might come around on, “don’t pay for and use that tool for that particular job.” Like, there isn’t enough hype the world to make people replace all knives, hammers, and screwdrivers with sa

I would too. I’m saying businesses don’t seem to. At least not like we assume.

I think the last ten+ years has taught us that massive security breaches are more of an insurance claim problem and some $4/mo credit monitoring payouts. And major corporations certainly don’t seem to care that much about leaving massi

It certainly promised more in the beginning than it actually delivered. It all starts to feel like letting those “before the youtube video” ads run too long without skipping. A hook you know people would like to know the answer to… followed

Yeah, when Alibaba decides to give us a new, lower end Qwen. They’re not coming from an altruistic guy with a couple gpus in his basement.

That would be nice. Kinda seems unlikely though, doesn’t it? The way they’re made is so resource intensive it kinda feels like saying “the best free and open source nuclear powered aircraft carrier.” We get whatever the massively well funde

I’m so far removed from how that stuff works that it often sounds insane to me. Maybe someone who knows can explain it. Do the people with money not actually care about making more money? Aren’t they first and foremost concerned with your c

The funny this is the main complaint I’ve heard so far is that it repeatedly refused to operate on original content… because it might violate copyright.

I love it. It’ll be doubly funny when the Xbox marketing team wins the Copilot Confusion Award.

by dd8601fn 6mo ago
Depends on the subject. Some I’m at peace with (see my original post) and some I haven’t quite worked out to my own satisfaction. The concept holds, in either case. It’s the only reasonable approach, imo.

by dd8601fn 6mo ago
Do they have their own cli agents or just the api inference services?
382.
by dd8601fn 6mo ago
Last I saw they have 21 products or services named Copilot. I think they still win the confusion prize.

In what?

You seem to have reduced the very thesis of what I was saying to the point where you excised it entirely. “Don’t get shitty drunk and then drive” fits just fine. “Be a technology person who doesn’t use technology because our power isn’t gre

This may upset some people, but I think you have to come up with mental demarcation for responsibility, or you’ll go nuts. I simply cannot decide to avoid all the technology of my field because whoever designed the electrical infrastructure

Sure, not plus or max. I just use their lesser moe ones locally (that would never come close to massive sota models) all the time.

Also us weirdos with local model uses. But your point stands.

Is this really a common problem? This stuff is way above me, but my toy agent seems to have bypassed this as a problem. I did this in mine by only really having a few relevant tool functions in the prompt, ever. Search for a Tool Function,

I was just trying to remember the Syquest name. I remembered their products being popular in mac labs (I was a teen at that time). For a while I badly wanted a zip drive or the (syquest) ez 135 for personal use. But by the time I could affo
