This is why the chrome driver plugin and similar tools are so important. The site shouldn't know or care if its me or my agent working on my behalf.

Someone should make the millennium problems for AI alignment so the frontier labs will actually try to solve that problem.

Does each separate “organ” here have any relationship to the two separate functions identified in “Thinking, Fast and Slow”?

Nit, I know, but I don't think they are trained on too much pretentious writing so much as they are RLHF'd into it because that writing impresses people.

> a sort of epistemic performance art project. Agreed, and it's a wonderful piece of art. I look forward to seeing the actual publication and reaction from the math community.

> forecasting = modeling = AI I wouldn't go that far. Humans can forecast by modeling with their wetware, nothing "A" about it.

I recently purchased some very rural land with a cabin that I put on AirBnB. The address is a different road than the driveway is and all the maps took drivers around 1 mile away with no way to find the actual driveway. I had to go through

The administration is way behind the curve on this one. Data center opposition is one of the rare areas that has bipartisan support.

v1 to v2 is the biggest leap, and each leap after that is smaller and smaller. Just look at the difference between the 17 pro and 18 pro.

Just a reminder to everyone, always buy the second version of any new product category, even from Apple. The first duo will look primitive in a few refresh cycles. It does look really cool though!

I use it for audiobooks. They are served up by Plex and I use the Prologue iOS app which is a great audiobook listening experience.

I think all he big labs are pretty explicit about when they do and don't train on customer prompts. Is the accusation here that OpenAI trained on prompts when they claimed not to? Or were the mathematicians using one of the interfaces

Claude will be able to help you with everything you need. If you don't have Claude code then the various self hosted subreddits are a good starting point. I had Claude do a sweep of the recent reddit posts to capture the current most r

After reading a lot of reddit threads I settled on ReadMeABook[0] and it has been working great so far. One pretty cool feature is that it lets you connect an LLM API key and then you can have it make requests based on your library. I now h

Step one is to just let Claude have ssh access to the machine you run plex from and let him do a full sweep. I had some conflicting profile rules and was not properly blocking malware and not properly marking failures so they were never ret

Yes it really does, and I intend to switch eventually but from what I heard the last time I looked into it, the end user clients are a big area where plex still beats Jellyfin. Since that’s where my non technical friends and family mostly i

As a long time plex user with a lifetime pass, I always enjoy seeing the good progress with Jellyfin as it will increasingly give me a soft landing for when Plex finally does something to make me move. At the very least it will hopefully ke

Isn't it the cost we care about, rather than the speed? All we know know is that a frontier AI lab was able to do it in 11 days, we have no idea how much compute they threw at it.

I am not sure it’s a question of competence, at least I don’t see evidence of that. Designing sandboxes is hard. It’s more a question of alignment failures. A human given a task that requires internet and given a system with no internet wou

Wouldn’t that be ASI? I.e. surpassing humans by outputting novel treatments at a far greater rate than normal humans?

I remember watching that as a young teen with a libertarian bent. As an old man who no longer identifies as libertarian that episode for some reason has stuck with me as the arguments were pretty compelling. I agree and would like to know i
