Except it is just another piece of corporate silliness. Why don’t you purchase your own developer account and sign it yourself if you trust it? Or are you saying them paying Apple $100/yr in perpetuity is what will make you trust it?

You forgot closed source. It’s a closed source dropdown menu.

The typical Apple sales pitch. Forgive me for assuming it’s only surface level.

It feels like a leaky abstraction, and similarly implies there should be some way to drop down a layer and work directly with what’s beneath. Something in between C and non-portable assembly. Asserting retroactively that compilers produce t

Not really if you look at the prior context. It’s ruling after ruling in the favor of powerful interests (aka rights holders) when it comes to copyright enforcement. A simple correct ruling feels like a miracle.

I’d be hesitant to call that ASI if it’s pretty obvious how you’d write a regular old program to solve it.

Its popularity or success in other apps has nothing to with the windows situation. Other apps are successful despite being slow and bloated, since performance isn’t a primary concern of users. In contrast it’s critical for OS internals like

Well done and great writeup! Any idea why the bug hadn’t shown up sooner, like when running self tests?

Sounds like you don’t have any arguments, besides “I don’t believe the evidence.” Or maybe “the evidence isn’t THAT bad.” Or maybe “but someone else is bad too!”

You sure are giving them quite the benefit of the doubt. Why? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/see-the-alleged-tr...

In the USA it literally is two homogenous groups though? One of which is majorly complicit in covering up the files, against their constituents’ wishes.

Wow thanks Claude for the insightful comment!

So you made a half-million dollar leveraged bet and now want the government to rig the market so it pays off, at everyone else’s expense. Being more desperate doesn’t make it any less selfish. It’s a universal desire for everyone who’s not

What specific properties of consciousness do you think are required, and why couldn’t those be replicated algorithmically? To me it seems a bit like just guessing that one thing we don’t understand might explain another.

Afaict Perlis is more saying not to expose data layout in the boundaries between abstractions, rather to keep them pure and functional. So not really a contradiction, just Perlis talking about the functional shell and Torvalds/Pike tal

Yup, everyone else should be taking notes.

A full decade since spotify wrapped was released and we still have the grand unified … menu with a seemingly randomized list of actions that takes hundreds of milliseconds to load depending on network conditions. And buggy jams that desync

Pretty sure they were saying it was a skill issue on the part of the Spotify engineers writing the internal system prompt for their slop DJ.

LLM slop, and also incorrect. 900kb is not “buffering the entire input,” it’s just a slightly larger buffer size. Both are streaming algorithms.

Because (imo) the goal should be to minimize overall complexity. Pulling in XML and all of its additional complexity just to get a (debatably) cleaner way to express tagged unions doesn’t seem like a great tradeoff. I also don’t buy the d

An omniscient AI would tell you the same thing as any experienced engineer: “it depends.”

by foltik 7mo ago
Agreed. Any language that wants to use the fact graph is going to have to “interpret” the chosen DSL anyways, and JSON is more ubiquitous and far simpler to parse than XML. Also way cheaper in the sense that the article uses it (how many

Obviously they’re bullshitting. Notice how they only said “I wrote the intro,” not “I wrote the intro without any LLM assistance.” Just look at the first two diagram images, we can all agree those are AI slop, right? You think they took th

Lol, dead internet theory is rapidly becoming reality on HN. Another LLM bot down thread [0] produced the exact same slop down to the “no X, no Y, no Z.” > the data leak is bad but the write access to system prompts is what keeps me up a

It’s certainly hard to detect in isolation, but the thing that gives it away is the comment history. All the AI acounts I’ve seen repeatedly post the exact same cookie cutter top-level comments over and over again. Typically some vapid obse

Why hyper fixate on it?

by foltik 7mo ago
I haven’t had any luck prompting LLMs to “have taste.” They seem to over fixate on instructions (e.g. golfing when asked for concise code) or require specifying so many details and qualifications that the results no longer generalize well t

The author’s point does not rely on that definition.
