Maybe they could not sell more if they’re already exceeding capacity? What kind of apologism is this?

The harnesses are the part of the stack responsible for tools, so it would be a bug there, not the model. The model itself isn’t doing anything but generating tokens. The harness gives it a blob of text telling it which tools exist, and the

I can’t say for sure, but I think Claude’s mode is nothing more than part of the system prompt. I don’t think it actually takes away web request or file write tools. I say this because I could swear I’ve seen Claude go ahead and make some c

I agree. In fact, even ensuring the employee is at the work station moving the mouse and pressing the keys is failing to measure their productive engagement at work. How do you know they are cogitating to the company’s benefit at all times?

Yesterday I was doomscrolling computer vision related stuff on LinkedIn. I hate it, but often looking for freelancing ops in CV. A video appeared in my feed of some South Asian laborers sewing in a garment factory. All of them had cameras m

The comparison to smart home gadgetry seems apt to me. I actually want to hack on something LLM agent-related to practice what is clearly a marketable skill, but I can't find anything I'd actually want it to do for me in my real l

There's a difference between personal vehicles and special purpose vehicles like ambulances and delivery trucks. I don't think anyone in this thread is saying all automobiles are bad, but car-centric development is definitely bad.

You might be surprised by how many of them are aware of the harms of social media, while acknowledging that it’s impossible not to engage with it. It’s not their fault we built the toxic slot machine world for them that we have. And beside

Why keep human consumers to buy your services when you could just amass all the wealth you desire, and have autonomous systems that can ensure your unassailable physical security? You would sit atop the most stratified dominance hierarchy e

If that’s true and this has a null effect, why would a business pay for it? There must be some utility for them. Like others already pointed out: information asymmetry undermines worker’s ability to negotiate, resulting in lower wages for e

Also wild that from the tech bro perspective, the cost of journalism is just how much data transfer costs for the finished article. Authors spend their blood, sweat and tears writing and then OpenAI comes to Hoover it up without a care in t

And hilariously, the worst offenders are AI frameworks themselves. A couple months ago I was helping a client build out some "agentic" stuff and we switched from OpenAI Agents library to Agno. Agents is messy enough, like making i

I appreciate RawTherapee too and used it for a long time, but I started to notice that it really can’t match DPP for rendering Canon raw images. The denoising is nowhere near as good and it takes a lot of work to make the colors come out as

Really interesting read. Thanks for sharing. Is the performance bottleneck around the resizing to 250k pixels? Would it still work if you sampled 15,625 4x4 patches evenly around the image to gather those pixels instead of resizing?

Or even more efficient: the model we already have. Donate money and let the maintainer decide whether to convert it into tokens or mash the keys themself.

It still has plenty of active users (myself included) but it feels much smaller than the 2010s. The groups are great if you can find ones that match your taste, and it’s way more fun to do that and share you photos with human-curated commun
