In what possible context is this a Reform win? A win in a fight - that Nigel personally picked himself because his own personally dubious way of living and coming into money caused Parliament to investigate him - where a novelty candidate w

Claude writes like a guy at a firm I used to work with in the 90s; he was my employer's "visionary"; he'd worked at a whole lot of different companies on both sides of the Atlantic in inexplicably high-placed roles given

And things have changed . People don't answer cold calls! They increasingly don't read emails. There are no classified ads worth a damn. They work from home! They ask AI more than they google. The remaining stuff is on Facebook.

Please excuse my noob-ish, naïve question, but to what extent is the business of getting the LLM to actually consult memory a model-dependent thing? Do you have to introduce the tool and guide models with different language for different mo

You can always hypothesise success without Facebook because if it didn't exist, people would find alternatives. But it does exist, and in any town or city there are dozens of people running microbusinesses in competitive niches that re

It’s not doublespeak, just context. I am saying: I alas use it like almost everyone else, because I more or less have to. It would be a lie if I said I don’t, and my critique would be of little value if i didn’t. I do use it minimally and l

I mean, obviously Facebook is not in financial difficulty. But it is, at some level, culturally dying. It is very evident. It would not be loss of revenue that troubled Facebook, for years at least — it would be slowing engagement and lower

This is the correct decision, IMO. I only use Facebook in a limited capacity (one phenomenal private group whose usefulness is unfortunately simply unmatched elsewhere, one infrequently updated page and a very locked-down, minimal personal

It does answer your question, or at least the linked articles do. To get any further into it, you'd need to characterise your understanding of Northern Ireland and the Northern Irish in 2026. There is no way to answer your question oth

The drumbeat about "London has fallen", about no-go areas, about sharia law, about violent crime, etc., from American media that we see here is actually pretty much constant. Given how constant it is, and how it comes from the fre

I clearly understand that I can personally do nothing about someone wanting to blow me up. If I am on a train with a brown man with a backpack, I do not think it likely he is going to kill me. If it is neat, I think he is going to work. If

We're not talking about some notion of thoughtcrime here. We're talking about preparation, and the equivalent of reasonable suspicion for a stop or probable cause for an arrest in the USA, where people absolutely are arrested ever

Of course but that is not really what I am asserting; I was just responding to an American in terms that are understood. UK suspects on arrest are, nevertheless, read their rights in what is colloquially understood here as a "Miranda w

Car wash test was amusing with the LM Studio version of the model simonw mentions below. Bad, bad failure and no amount of nudging helps it see the point. Comical. But it did OK on other mini tests.

I tried that exact model, I get about 50 tokens/sec on an 64GB M1 Max MBP. It writes pretty good code; it does seem to second-guess itself in thinking traces and I wonder if it just needs a reasoning budget and message. Each time I tes

FWIW I think Trump #1 (45) wasn't an anti-vax presidency; it might have been suspicious of healthcare professionals (for the good reason that so many people know opioid epidemic victims) and he was always a bit equivocal around hydroxy

Either. Where there is a need. The latter is legitimate, isn't it? Do we not anticipate trying to arrest people who might be in the process of committing a terror attack, on the balance of evidence about their conduct? Or are we just g

An M1 Max MBP manages roughly 10 tok/sec without the Dflash speculative draft support so that tracks; the M1 Max apparently has trouble actually saturating its memory bandwidth.

Let's not get all Humpty Dumpty here. "Upon request" is reactive by definition. "Proactive" sharing would quite literally mean sharing on one's own initiative.
