Grok code was my daily driver for months while it was free and it was fantastic - it is certainly no worse than it was a few months ago. Unfortunately with LLMs everything is based off your use case, domain and the context you give it. I al

It took me 13 years to get them to unban my adsense account. To this day I still have no idea what happened and have assumed it was a competitor sending fake clicks or something.

It’s probably more nuanced than this. Would I have let my kids use Facebook in the height of its popularity. Absolutely. It was fun, engaging and user driven. Now it’s just an absolute cesspit of paid content, ads and boomers posting in gro

I can't help but think that whenever we have these discussions about dependency hell in the JS ecosystem that the language moves too slowly to add things to stdlib. For me, this is where bun fills the gap and they continue to pump out

This is pretty impressive work. On a related note, Fuji’s simulations being locked to their walled garden has been an issue for third party tools forever. All “replications” of on device are just that. And never comparable. I think a lot of

Every single person I know outside of my profession is using it, including all relatives of all ages. Even if it's at the top of the google search results :)

AI is ubiquitous to the point where it's permeating almost every desk job in the world. Even those who don't work are using AI to help them find work, research health problems, ask questions about their daily life. I can't th

I don't see how Anubis solves anything. If a human lets the bot control a completely vanilla computer (which there is now a lot of tooling for), then how is it going to stop that?

by deanc 7mo ago
What does it matter? If there is incentive enough people will just pay and let their bot act on their behalf.

I suppose reshaping the fundamental social contract with the internet and the computers we use to access them would solve the problem.

You kinda skipped the bit I wrote alongside this about strong authentication. There are numerous ways to do this. For example, in Finland you have to physically identify yourself to open a bank account and you can then use that to authentic

by deanc 7mo ago
Yeah, you're completely right. Maybe this will be the impetus a lot of people need to detach from online.

by deanc 7mo ago
The bot problem cannot be solved. Even if you strongly authenticate, people are letting bots act on their behalf (moltbook is a great example of this) and what's to stop people doing that in the future. Build your identity and reputati

Yes. But llmfit is far more useful as it detects your system resources.

Unclear to me why you've been downvoted here. The data clearly shows that China is taking more serious action on this issue than any other developed or developing economy.

This is now how we should be looking at the problem. It doesn't matter if you burn coal yourself or not. What matters is the source of your energy. Every single one of those countries imports energy from other markets which consume fos

There's a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding of the global energy supply presented around me nowadays. I would urge anyone to stop what they're doing and read "Clearing the Air" [1]. It's completely reshaped

As other posters below you have pointed out, it's not as simple as you make it out. You can't just stop building power plants overnight. The population and demands of China are growing and those needs need to be met immediately. T

This is what matters. The whole thing is an exercise in greenwashing. It doesn't matter if you stop burning coal in your own country, if the energy you import is also made by burning oil and gas. The whole conversation about clean ener

Exactly. ChatGPT is ubiquitous for the new generation of AI (LLMs) for everyone outside our of bubble. I've spoken to dozens of friends and non-techncial folks about this topic over the last year and not a single one has ever said they

They haven't launched an MVP. They launched a new battery as some life-changing technology - which it seems is not.

I think if we're to move to away from these US products to open source ones, then governments should also provide resources or funding to develop them using the licensing fees they save. Is the Danish government contributing back to li

There's an enormous amount of technical detail in this video, and VTT is a reputable organisation. I'm still unsure what to make of this. The video shows them testing a cell, not in an actual battery pack.

Just a friendly reminder also to anyone outside the US that these subscriptions cannot be used for commercial work. Check the consumer ToS when you sign up. It’s quite clear.

Presumably this affects all electron apps which embed chrome too? Don’t they pin the chrome version?

I really don't get these companies posting disingenuous benchmarks. Every time, they pick and choose who to compare against. Not comparing to the latest 5.3-codex is absurd when it's been out a couple of weeks now. Who are they tr

What vision? Everyone and their mother has been trying to build useful AI assistants and personal CRMs since computers were invented - way before LLMs. He glued it together, and he succeeded because he executed before anyone else. I applaud

I wrote a little about this here [1]. To summarise, the reality of language learning here is that unless you give up your work it's almost impossible to learn - your only opportunities to learn are evening classes which come at a cost

So a permanent resident who has lived in a country, for say, 10 years? You don't think they're committed at that point and should have a right to vote on the society they are contributing to?
