Quantum physics has a similar parallel. Living things work with a macro interface and not the reality of quantum fields which cause those macro events to be observable. It really is turtles all the way down.

I've never heard of any model maker announcing anything until it is actually available. Anybody who had any different info would be violating their NDA to share it.

And that service is the working product, not any extract of code from it. Thus humans will always be valuable and needed in the loop. We have nothing to fear from sharing our code and everything to gain as AI agents get better at that grunt

Because your code in isolation has almost zero value. Only working, integrated, shippable code is of monetary value, and that's not something you'll get from an AI prompt, nor from Stack Overflow. Programming isn't the myster

Its quite a stretch to say this guy had anything to do with it. We've tried to acquire Greenland twice before.

I tried the demo and asked about top selling science books in the US of the last 10 years and was told it can't find sales data so it presented a made-up list. As text. Not a chart. Hard pass.

There is no such thing as continuous context. There is only context that you start and stop, which is the same as typing those words in the prompt. To make anything carry over to a second thread, it must be included in the second thread&#x2

A non announcement from a non company about their non product. I'll go on record saying nothing from these people will ever ship.

MD won because it's HTML in a short form and HTML already won because of the web. The adoption of MD as the primary format that LLMs use to read and write doc just sealed the deal. It's a classic case of "worse is better.&quo

This will help a lot with debugging CSS with AI tools. The cascading aspect and complex runtime calculations from declarative styles make CSS hard to debug for humans and nearly impossible for LLMs.

This article contains a quote so stupid it's hard to read past it. The speaker suggests that we don't know what ultraprocessed foods are or why they might be harmful? Only someone on the dole from the processed food industry could

These are AI deep fake videos "inspired" by Feynman, not real lectures. His books are widely available, though.

Richard Dawkins, who invented the term, talks about them in his (terrific) book, The Selfish Gene. Like the genes for which they're named, random mutations happen in cultural artifacts (or mutations are introduced) and some are wildl

The current way to address this is through RAG applications or Retrieval Augmented Generation. This means using the LLM side for the natural language non-deterministic portion and using traditional code and databases and files for the deter

In fact, nondeterminism goes all the way down to the training level where every token and weight starts as a random number, a concept I wrote about in this intro to how AI works article [0]. The reason for this is that randomness is crucial

We say in software that the hardest thing is naming, and this somewhat leaks over to the marketing side, too but it gets worse there because that department often isn't familiar with what tech products actually do or how they work or w

I wish! We used to have Polygon which was commercial but at least had all the deets, all the time. Now they've sold to a content mill. Strangely, most other game devs I know don't even know about HN, either. It's a weird corn

The retailer already has the data in most cases, since cards are the way people pay today. There is nothing illegal about keeping a hashed record of someone's card and tracking all their purchases that way. Loyalty programs at supermar

This the first I've heard that her vocal ability was called into question. Sure, we can say that of lots of popular artists, but it's surprising to hear that about this one. Also, I've never heard it disputed that vocalists a

This makes sense if you think of chatbots as "faster books," or books plus a TikTok algo. Every kind of BS ever written is already in the training data. No one culled out falsehoods or "bad data." Since the tool is train

It's one thing to not enjoy her music, to which you're entitled, but she's definitely a musician and an accomplished one whose talent is widely recognized by others. So, not generous. Accurate.

Gaming and game development are often looked down upon by other kinds of developers, which is strange when game dev is considered a dream job by so many and is highly coveted. Inside the industry, of course, the opposite is true. Folks who

It's hard to feel sorry for someone who got $250K a year without working and says they'll "probably lose their house." That's on you, bud. Not the company.

This is true of all digital cameras which have 3 separate color sensors or which take three exposures with filters on them. Even color film has 3 reactive types of color carriers. Even your eyes sense colors separately. While it's true
