I am reminded by the perhaps revisionist history but still applicable belief that slavery was really ended by industrialization making abolition economically advantageous and not actually a socially driven movement. (In reality it was certa

Animated SVGs are one of the example in the press release. Which is fine, I just think the weird SVG benchmark is now dead. Gemini has beat the benchmark and now differences are just coming down to taste. I don't know if it got these a

I'm guessing it has the opposite problem of typical benchmarks since there is no ground truth pelican bike svg to over fit on. Instead the model just has a corpus of shitty pelicans on bikes made by other LLMs that it is mimicking. So

Stoicism has always struck me as cognitive behavioural therapy (specifically the cognitive triangle) but for boys who think therapy is for women and is rife for misuse from people who don't understand it. I understand stoicism is deepl

Seems like the problem should be pretty easy to figure out. Just need to wait ~5 gigayears and see which model is right. I'm personally hoping for deceleration so that we have more total visitable volume. I'll set a reminder to ch

In addition, making money off the software that others develop and sell on the app store doesn't make Apple more of a software company, it makes them a middle man.

Unrelated but my current AI text flag is the use of "It's not X. It's Y." It's become so repetitive recently. Examples from this post alone: 1. "This isn't about AI. The quality crisis started years before

This may be the "reason" that they use but I doubt they have done any testing to show that it provides any level of protection and just makes their app less useable. Sounding like a good reason doesn't make it a good reason.

On windows, csv's automatically open in Excel through the file explorer. Almost all normal businesses use windows so the OPs claim is pretty reasonable.

I don't really gender LLMs in my head in general. I guess Gemma is a female name. I only gendered it in the joke because I think it makes it funnier, especially since it's just "a little guy". I know they are giving gend

The only problem I have with articles like this is that it frames what Trump is doing with an air of intention. Most readers will obviously think that becoming mercantilist is a bad idea. However, readers will also walk away with the notion

Well the sun didn't make those elements. Some other star did so they aren't solar. Also by that logic everything that is not a hydrogen atom would be "solar" so I don't think we can stretch the analogy.

But the model doesn't have an internal state, it just has the tokens, which means it must encode it's reasoning into the output tokens. So it is a reasonable take to think that CoT was them showing their work.

Some phone plans like Google Fi will give you a data only sim card for free. It ends up being totally free as long as you have unlimited data plans. I use my old phone and a data only sim card for random projects.

Yes, plenty of good examples. Spotify and Netflix changed the way people think about intellectual property and how content is accessed. Tinder changed the way people thought about meeting partners.

Ah yes - Uber, Doordash, and AirBNB. Famously profitable, right? Definitely not companies that currently and have always hemorrhaged money in order to drive out the existing competition and establish a dominant market share. Users fell in l

Depends on the what you are trying to get out of a podcast. Most of the podcasts I listen to are because I want to learn something new in an entertaining format. I'm not listening to develop parasocial relationships with the hosts, so
