We might as well be committing prompts given how little review happens to much of this code.

I think the real disaster is that once you let the LLM work on a project for a bit, you start to lose understanding of what exactly is even happening under the hood in the project. You can take steps to mitigate this, but agents don't

I remember when OnePlus marketed themselves as the sort of inexpensive flagship. These past few cycles they've certainly been flagship phones but I don't think there's really been a differentiator.

The problem is a lot of passive investors own large quantities of that ETF, and to take their money out now they have to pay a tax penalty, so they are forced to invest in SPCX due to the rule change. Its also a matter of principle. They ha

The one I've noticed a ton recently with Sonnet 5 is that it loves the phrase "different not in degree, but in kind." It drags that one out constantly now, at least once a day. Gemini and GPT don't at all.

This wouldn't even help anyway. Flock sells to law enforcement, sure, but they also sell data to everyone else who wants to know everything about everyone.

> You can't unilaterally say all AI blogs are low quality. That's bullshit. I can and I will say that, if not only for the fact that, in the eyes of many people, AI and the botched launch of the past few years has incurred a gr

I think you're right, and I think this principle of friction-is-good-actually applies to a lot more domains than just software, but whether the world will ever accept that is a different question.

I've always viewed unsafe Rust as a sort of last resort you use when you just can't do something safely. Porting something to "unsafe Rust" to me feels pointless, and of course this hasty rewrite was probably not the bes

I flew Delta about 6 months ago and they had something similar, also for free, but they use Viasat. I think most of the big airlines were moving this way anyway to be honest, Starlink just has a good opportunity for advertising.

I live in what is probably the first place to get these things in the world, but it feels like fiber is being built at an extremely rapid pace. Just in the past couple of years it seems like Google and AT&T fiber went from being a relat

No it should not be, but not because of the dextromethorphan or the phenylephrine being ineffective. By far the biggest issue is the acetaminophen it contains, which it isn't super obvious about, and frequently leads to acetaminophen o

Torx is also common and also way way better than philips. Really we as a society need to phase out philips screws yesterday.

Of course there are paths to success, and they are available, but we live in a tiktok world where everyone wants to be a millionaire tomorrow and not in 20 years.

Its just another symptom of the silicon valley startup "do something illegal, scale fast, and dare the government to do something about it" business model. It is an absolute cancer to society, if there is such a thing as late stag

I think thats kinda the point. Tracking everything everyone does in an identifiable manner is extremely lucrative.

It probably is more secure, to be honest. I trust Google to keep my account secure more than I trust some random website to store password hashes and verify securely.

This is really cool, just as I'm starting to get towards the back end of the Kaishi 1.5k deck so this will be perfect for my Japanese studies. Thanks for sharing.

Open-weight models can be abliterated automatically with open source tools though and completely decensored. You can't do that with a closed cloud model.

Not really even in the same ballpark as what they did. These other labs are using AI generated content (which has already been ruled un-copyrightable) to train their models. Oh and they are paying for those tokens. So at absolute worst, the

Well Zai's GLM 5.2 legitimately is a frontier-level model, though not quite parallel with Opus or Fable. Unfortunately, its too damn big to run locally for most people. Thats the bottleneck right now; the open-weight models exist but s

Really cool writeup. I personally like the Cure Dolly approach to conjugation, in which she said there was no such thing as conjugation (at least not in the Indo-European sense), only helper verbs and adjectives. Japanese grammar is just so

It almost seems like the juice might not be worth the squeeze. If you want verifiable code that conforms well to a well-designed plan, you have to basically write pseudocode and have the AI translate it for you. At that point why use the AI

It demands more and yet it makes it so, so much easier to get by with less. I don't quite understand who is supposed to be the winner here.

We've also seen ample evidence that AI labs are not overly concerned with the legality of how they obtain training data. Its not a stretch to say maybe they look at some other stuff they shouldn't too.
