It’s just one person’s opinion, but I think two things are true enough, here… 1) JSON is pretty darn good for storing configuration. Everything speaks it, and a pretty printed one is very readable/tweakable in a pinch. 2) If you insis

I’d be interested in a real accounting of what he said, rather than what people say they’ve heard. If he says AI is changing work in some places but not-at-all in most… that’s defensible. Or at least we can look at that. Did he say it about

> I reject the idea that Firefox can transgress as much as they want as long as Chrome has gotten worse. Well, then the good news is nobody is saying that. There’s room for people to disagree on what constitutes a serious “transgression”

I have a (now discontinued) 64gb mini pro and I’ve found the same qwen model to be almost unusable unless I kill Thinking on each turn. What are you using them with/for?

by dd8601fn 1mo ago
Agreed… but really only for macs. That’s where it’s beautiful. I even use their larger external trackpad with the mini. But on work supplied machines and such I use a conventional mouse. It’s not even because everyone else's trackpads

Now I’m going to get a little nostalgic about Vimeo. I feel like they really tried to be a better, more civilized video platform.

One would assume. Just out of curiosity, how did Hugging Face have the money to run that operation?

Baby replication is one thing humans might do. Word fragment generation is the one-and-only thing llms have ever done.

It was part of her fame, for decades, as she intended. She was not shy or ashamed about it. Nowadays we may be extremely sensitive about that sort of thing (increasingly on behalf of others, unsolicited), but at the time it was not mean spi

They did. They said Rogers telling children that they’re special made them “entitled brats.” And they’ve been trying for decades.

You can donate to her charity. Probably better than whichever flavor of ideological bullshit our politicians would send, anyway.

Not everyone has this, but I always felt that a significant percentage of the value I bring is in immediately recognizing what you shouldn’t do . I have a hard enough time explaining why “yet another bespoke application on some unmanaged a

This doesn’t seem right. 1 in 6.2 billion for Firefox on an iphone, not including ip/network uniqueness? Seems more plausible that anti-fingerprinting is throwing it off?

There are whole classes of things I can’t thought exercise or really learn about because the “safeguards” keep tripping me down to haiku. Like middle school level genetics stuff from a guy who hasn’t been in school for decades. They need to

Maybe I saw too many Disney movies as a kid, but it took me a very long time to consider, “There’s nothing inherently good or right about what would have happened in the absence of people.” There’s nothing kind, nurturing, decent, or fair a

If they have, I haven’t seen it. It’s very possible I’ve just missed deeper reporting, obviously. But otherwise I agree. I’m neither losing sleep over it or just trusting that these (historically kinda scummy) businesses are actually beha

I don’t think any of these people know. All I’ve read, as far as sources go, is a number of rare book sellers saying they’ve had a big uptick in huge orders with no price haggling. Apparently that’s peculiar. And some of them seemed a littl

We often didn’t just get sent home with a copy of Romeo and Juliet and then get asked to write an essay. We went through it, a bit at a time, in class. With a very good teacher. Not just helping with word and phrases, but digging in a littl

Daley did a lot of ugly stuff, but that one still boggles the mind. And Emanuel really just dug the knife in as hard as he could and broke the handle off.

And for some of us it works great… sometimes. Like, not as a rule. There are times when it would be helpful to have my trusted coworker helping to work through something. The answers aren’t all obvious and we don’t know exactly how it’s goi

I’ve had that problem with Roku, Google, and Vizio updates too, over the years. At this point I’m comfortable saying that on device “Smart TV” software is a crime against humanity, full stop.

That’s not deep insight stuff. I promise you these people are more keenly aware of what constitutes an undesirable solution than that.

You focused largely on the promotional aspect, though I think the product competition angle is more interesting. The other day I saw someone famous(ish) announce a new desktop application, to meaningful reception. Thirty minutes later I had

They control everything the llm can and cannot do. Keeping llms “on the straight and narrow” is arguably their primary function.
