I almost think this doesn't go far enough. Now LLMs make a certain amount of genericity so easy it will become more repulsive than things which are full on bad taste to different sorts of people. My gut feeling is the web world will ex

What's eternally confusing about these outbursts is what did these researchers think would happen if their research actually . . . worked? It's as if none of them actually believed any of it was possible and then were caught with

I've seen anti terrorist police appear at offices because certain executives were trading so much porn they assumed there must be messages hidden in it. The noise has always been about the UN private network which is apparently absolut

Chrome product management is horrible. Chrome software engineering is some of the best ever done. (And no, I don't use it except for testing).

HN is just a less successful version of the exact same concept. The quality of bots on here is terrible.

While technically very impressive you would hope this effort would be reflected in a higher quality of resulting movie, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's interesting that even their details mention essentially using it as

This is a much underappreciated point. That said, a look at the state of self driving and the recent robot olympics shows that advancement on that has accelerated enormously, though whether it's reflected in any of the LLMs is somethin

If this worked with IR, and so non visible, it might be even more useful. Great idea though.

It's great how these days it's so much harder to tell if this is a joke.

Treating coding as the therapeutic reward for other things (typically tolerating bureaucracy) and then indulging obsessions about it absolutely is unhealthy. And I've seen exactly this across multiple large and small organizations in m

There was an increasingly scary mass of people in the industry that viewed the coding as a sort of therapeutic exercise, and would become quite obsessive about it. For those people LLMs are anathema because they take away what was the rewar

Expecting an agent harness to respect security boundaries is definitely the wrong thing. We need to have easy to use auditable sandboxing of agents and their harnesses, because it's quite clear certain model providers are going to try

"Flagpoling" was the beautiful euphemism for this.

You really have to wonder what Xi Jinpeng thinks of all this. The extent to which China can appear to do nothing while the west kills itself is just unbelievable. How could you possibly respect people that can't get out of their own wa

One of the funniest parts of the LLM wave is discovering that cron was so annoying to use that we will burn the planet to put an interface on it that people can actually work with. The tendency for absolute inefficiency is effectively unbou

Plausible. The Quebec PM did say that if the dairy industry wasn't happy they wouldn't put US alcohol badk on the shelves, which would have effectively killed the whole thing. While a factor I doubt this is the whole story though.

Putin wanted Trump to decapitate the Iranian regime? Let's be serious, that has nothing to do with the Canadian situation, which has more than enough going on without needing to imagine things. Edit to add: the extent to which many of

What is going to happen is this lack of deal will accelerate the (inevitable) decline of the Canadian car industry, which will reduce objections to the Chinese imports leading to those quotas changing in an ever accelerating feedback loop.

There is also the factor that Canada has been propping up unsustainable dead end industries on a massive scale for years, and that this will make any pain from such a situation, deal or no deal, that much worse. Most obviously Southern Onta

This was totally the right move, if for no other reason than it's the only thing that this US admin will respect in the long run. Being in Canada though this does look v. short sighted of the US. All this is going to achieve is pushing
