Everyone is slamming you but the reality is that you could use AI models + a competent developer or security engineer to _very_ quickly shore up the entire codebase and fix every single hole -- getting it to a place where it's comparab

Unpopular opinion but I don't think this solves anything. The exploit wasn't an OS exploit but a userland app exploit (Sharepoint Server/App). These attacks will always be developed until we're able to write perfect expl

While we're being data driven - the narrative isn't far off from reality. Looking at inflation in isolation is also misleading. Plainly, prices have risen faster than pay. Avg. new-car price: $23,017 in 2005 -> $47,465 in 2024

This isn't my language (saw it on a youtube video but agree with it) -- LLMs are not calculators. It's as simple as that. If the LLM can complete the task using tools, then it's a pass. Apples team went out of their way to se

I'm curious how you're prompting. I've performed this sort of dramatic update in both one-shot (Gemini 2.5/o3) and Leader/Agent (ask 2.5/o3 for a detailed roadmap) and then provide that to Claude to execute as

Sad to see Fakespot shutdown after purchase. I rely on Fakespot for a sort of ground-truth when navigating Amazon. When faced with 20 similar items, all having thousands of faked review scores, it was helpful to get the A-F rating. While th

or.. A stopped clock is right twice a day; a mis-prompted LLM is wrong 19 times out of 20—but only because we handed it the wrong instruction sheet. Procedural error in testing perhaps? I'm not familiar with the methodology for GPQA.

I see a lot of threads pitting models against each other (or whole swarms of them) in the hope that "wisdom of crowds" will magically appear. After a stack of experiments of my own—and after watching the recent ASU/Microsoft-

This is super easy to test though (whether EXIF is being used). Open up Geoguessr app, take a screenshot, paste into O3. Doing this, O3 took too long (for the guessing period) but nailed 3 of 3 locations to within a kilometer. Edit: An inte

That's a fair point. What I find interesting (and perhaps didn't articulate properly) isn't confusion about the LLM's behavior, but the question of whether human cognition might operate on similar principles at a fundame

Yes, I understand the basics. LLMs predict the next most probable tokens based on patterns in their training data and the prompt context. For the 'Marathon crater' example, the model doesn't have a concept of 'knowing&#x

I like this but at the same time it seems tricky don't you think? Is the AI model intuiting your intent? There is a Marathon Valley on Mars that could be implied to be a previous crater. I'm not sure if the AI is hallucinating out

Large corporations aren't demonstrably harmed by DEI initiatives, yet all hiring processes should be merit-based. Encouraging more women in engineering is a reasonable goal, but lowering qualification standards would be problematic. Th

This article does not line up with my experiences at all. Sometimes I wonder if it's something to do with prompting or model selection. I recently built out a project where I was able to design 30+ modules and only had 4 generation err

The shift may be less about fundamentally new content and more about explicit labeling and marketing of elements that were previously present but implied -- i.e. -- SEO.

This means that the person with immunity simply has to keep the level of their crimes low enough that sane and rational people would not jump to vigilante justice. A bad actor could do quite a lot within those boundaries.

On the Steam platform for instance there is an option (perhaps developer supported) to stay on a certain version of a game. For instance, in the game Mount and Blade: Bannerlord, players notoriously stay 2, 3, or even 10 versions behind in

I don't think they meant anything about Europeans since Amex is primarily an American brand. I think the data proves it out and it could also have something to do with their history as a charge card (i mentioned in another comment). A

I like that Amex chargeback is treated like (or is) an insurance policy on your card. So, you get successful chargebacks 100% of the time and typically within a day. They then investigate and try to claw back the refund you should have gott

Interesting, I wish you had elaborated on Emad/etc. I'll see if Google yields anything. I think it's too soon to say "we're not seeing leaps and bounds with new LLMS". We are in-fact seeing fairly strong leaps,
