My wife operates an optical trap (a sophisticated microscope, she uses it for studying gene/dna physical properties) and she's pretty good at working with that instrument. The number of people good at working that microscope are i

This number will go up in maybe ... 10 years?

Why is this data even being allowed to sell? Isn't this private data? Okay, i understand selling users data is pretty common here but i thought it was limited to "someone liking icecream or someone liking ford better than honda&qu

>>ASML only makes the lithography machines Woah! only lithography machines???? it is literally impossible to make any device capable of running anything close to AI without ASML. Let that sink in.

Understood, but they could fine tune base models on their own cultural context and language. Why reinventing the wheel?

I don't understand countries (especially governments) wanting to have their own models when there are already pretty solid open source (weights) models out there. Countries should want control over _where_ the compute is happening rath

I use brave and it seems to work just fine against ads. Brave also has lower memory consumption than google chrome.

They're doing what anyone would do in their position. I won't be surprised if they bought more companies while the stock price is that high.

I saw the actual news and the TV correspondent sounded very serious about people going missing. I wonder if they do this on purpose.

I wonder if there is any evidence linking the ebola outbreak to the reduction in aid.

I think I disagree with your premise. If china as a state wanted to do something nefarious they would just do it. They have no interest in hacking regular folk's bank accounts. It's the criminal rings (around the world) who are in

Working on 2 things at the moment, both fully open source: - navigation without GPS and Internet - GIS with tokenized raster layers so that LLMs could easily talk to the maps

It's the scale problem (both speed and access) with LLMs. Don't you think the barrier to entry for hacking has become lower with LLMs?

care to elaborate? did you plug the third world to the internet? wasn't the internet created there actually? you mean the third world where kids are shot in schools and rapists are protected, right? please explain, i am confused.

Agreed! I think it will have to be a better version of the nuke NPT. Something like every country's government keeps a Mythos like model and that's it. We stop there. Since it's a model; the most powerful country could create

I wonder if there would be an equivalent of Non proliferation treaty like Nukes? I know it sounds crazy - but if there's even 0.1% chance that some models are so good that they can be used to hack into people's bank accounts - I,

Not today, may after the next 3-4 breakthroughs. One thing that people don't realize is that the AI they use today is highly highly subsidized bc of the capex that has gone into it. Even if people collaborated together - will not be a

This is my feeling - Opus 4.6 was pretty good, 4.7 was degraded in quality, 4.8 further got degraded and Fable goes back to 4.6 + somewhat better. Is it anthropic playing us by giving us a not so good model in last 2 releases and then relea

finally Siri and Apple intelligence are getting some much needed updates. Most of the stuff shown was already open source and had been achieved under 16GB of ram so it is timely.

It's only good at churning out reliable boilerplate. If you want a genuinely good frontend - human creativity still beats AI any day today. Sure it's helpful but I think frontend devs will land just fine on their feet. At least, I

I don't know how else to say this but LLMs are just word calculators. They are becoming better for sure but at this point even Claude 4.8 is absolute shit at any complex task in a not so common field. I have been working on terrain con

I really hope this accelerates meta's decline. The world will adapt just fine without social media.

Agreed about cellphone towers providing accurate position, but not with enough precision and highly dependent on the number of towers in the vicinity. What i started building is for a highly unlikely scenario which is ; no internet + no GPS
