You seem quite angry. I hope whatever this is passes and you feel better about yourself soon.

I think as much it is that people write by grappling for the right phrase to represent some inner feeling or concept, writing in part for themselves, whereas LLMs write always and only for an audience. It’s much easier to understand this on

Random observation: Google's Gemma 4 models write so much nicer prose than ChatGPT or Claude. Though this might be me as a British reader, simply preferring a rather less American turn of phrase. I reckon the more transatlantic, englis

I was not that bothered that this whole post was flagged until I saw this comment. What a fabulous eccentric hobby to develop. I don't know you but I am fully happy for you that you've found this for yourself :-) FWIW my own eccen

Oh this is disappointing isn't it — it could have been a labour of love and isn't. The "insights" about Mona Lisa are shallow and quite telling. What did the crowd miss? What did the AI miss? No props? One of the mos

Mainly I would like to see (if you don’t have it already) proper support for /previewing Affinity files (ideally the older .afphoto but I believe they are similar), and also Affinity layered TIFF, which I have used quite a bit. I will

These things are such a puzzle because there are so many that pop up and just don’t survive. I loved FileLoupe, for example, but it appears abandoned. So I am sure to try this. I’d love to see closer integration with Affinity where that i

Oh, not saying it’s much different in reality to keyword matching. But it’s going to hit different.

Well it is pretty good at confirming the right ammunition for a school shooting so that’s one potential market at least. https://youtu.be/IbG-JGdGniY (Watch the whole video, it’s remarkable) What else: the right medication

Indeed. If the law passes they can use it. If the law doesn't pass, they can run against it not having passed. There is a non-trivial chance that Trump prefers the latter and he'd end up vetoing SAVE because it has some small amen

Of course, sorry but — rephrasing slightly for clarity — has it been their bailiwick since they were created? Like, is illegal voting an immigration law violation, or is this just Trump projecting a new responsibility onto his independently

Has this always been ICE responsibility?

by dofm 3mo ago
Yeah, it did. I don't think this is really in doubt. Especially since the military refuse to confirm it had any human oversight, which after all would have been a routine thing to talk about before AI targeted things — which is why we

The collapse of Landsbanki was absolutely not a nothingburger. Risked triggering a 21st Century Cod Wars: the UK government was forced to use organised crime laws to freeze its UK assets to protect UK savers in Icesave, to whom the Icelandi

I personally think it could pop before then if there is not concerted effort to stop inflating it and maybe start to let the air out. But the main reason 2028 would be a risky year is the systemic risks around Trump. If he makes even more e

FWIW on my M1 Max I have not really seen any advantage at all from MLX. I am fully prepared to believe the benefits accrue more to the M3 and up (because of changes to the Apple Neural Engine). But with the models I've tested, unless I

Somehow the two main closed weights frontier models come from two companies with HQs about two miles apart, and the CEO of one used to work for the other.

I figure it might be quite a competent general coding teacher for more, er, consumer programming languages, for want of a better word — python, PHP, JS. Seems to be pretty solid on WP knowledge too. And I find it curiously interesting when

On an M1 Max I have been using either Unsloth Studio (which is basically a web app) or LM Studio (nicer app on the Mac). You can use the Google AI Edge Gallery to play with the smaller Gemma models (but at the moment the QAT variants don&#x

I don't know that I agree with this specific use of frontier because it is confusable as you say. But (off on a tangent) I do think that there are multiple frontiers generally — and I also think the open weights, small local model fron

I have been thinking about this for a while, because I personally need a career pivot but I was going to move into personalised training, and I think AI likely really messes with the viability of that.

I am on this trajectory too; opencode got me started but I tried to understand the way it is working and to do that I would normally read the source code, but the source code is really not fun.

I guess, though I am not sure that this truly is the worst case, if some new compliance thing required a redesign or worse. You hear about firms that go over certain thresholds, get noticed and then find out that their production facility i
