I have refused to lean too hard on agentic tooling for developing. I'm aware of the gains, I use it at my daily job. But I cannot afford to loss my brain skills, just in case they do a rug pull. These week announcements are effectively

That also sucks if you are not anywhere close to retire or having a beffy bank account and depend on regular monthly payments.

No, increasing the offer of something decreases its value, always. Do not necessarily increases its demand. That is basic economic rule. See that I use "value", not "cost". The distinction matters. Yesterday I went to a

It has always been possible to do it. LLMs are not a particular enabler for that. The difference is that now it is worthless: there is no learning, no person caring about the result, nothing aspirational for the public to look towards... we

Many banks already require monthly or annual payments for keeping an account with them. They also use the money from deposits to lend it at high interest rates. It is not like the banks are not extracting much more than a fair share of reve

It is not only "their" population. Mastercard and Visa captures a % of each sale done globally with their cards. It is perfectly reasonable for all countries to want to develop their own payment systems and stop paying taxes to th

I tried to put my postal code and it wrongly assumed that I live in the United States. The zip first suggestion seems that would be really inconvenient for around 95.8% of the world population.

If this was in Costa Rica the appropiate way was to contact PRODHAB about the leak of personal information and Costa Rica CSIRT ( csirt@micitt.go.cr ). Here all databases with personal information must be registered there and data must be s

I'm really surprised OpenAI went with LaTeX. ChatGPT still has issues maintaining LaTeX syntax. It still happily switches to markdown notation for quotes or emph. Gemini has a similar problem as well. I guess that there aren't eno

Not only search: titles and description of Youtube videos are being translated. Colab UI is now in Spanish (using technical terms that make no sense). Some people may want translation, mostly people that only speak a single language. But fo

I have found that prompting "translate my text to English, do not change anything else" works fine. However, now I prefer to write directly in English and consider whatever grammar/ortographic error I have as part of my writi

However, they at most would be the heuristic function of a search mechanism. A good heuristic, but heuristic at most. For search we need to identify when to abandon a path and which other entry point is promising. I'm not sure our curr

I cannot talk for OP, but I have been researching ways to make ML models learn faster, which obviously is a path that will be full of funny failures. I'm not able to use ChatGPT or Gemini to edit my code, because they will just replace

The criticisms are not strawmans, are actually well grounded on math. For instance, promoting energy based models. In a probability distribution model, the model is always forced to output a probability for a set of tokens, even if all the
