He's using it but if you CTRL+F the linked wikipedia page for 1967 you get someone using that exact phrase, or for 1882 above you get a pretty close version.

"Turtles all the way down" is a phrase of, I think, unknown origin ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down ) about infinite regress or trying to patch up some bad theory by appealing to itself.

Just to add, photoreceptors in the eyes consist of rods and three types of cones. Rods are what do the majority of the work for night vision and are nearly blind to long wavelengths of light (red).

I think "night vision" is different from dark mode. It's meant to prevent your eyes from adjusting to the light - so you can still see the stars - rather than just being easy to look at.

LLMs definitely write worse code for LLM consumption than humans can. In my experience your claim can't be further from the truth. I can get much further with an LLM starting from a great codebase than I can starting from a vibed codeb

Looks like gpt-image-1 to me, from the piss filter to some of the mistakes. I mean, image-2 or nano banana also still would have been dogshit. But I find it curious that image-1 was used (if I'm correct), I guess it means it was genera

You're right, for example photography was controversial.

Small games. One thing is I have it doing a LOT of visual verification of its results, which uses a lot of tokens. I also tend to throw some huge tasks it can't do yet and watch it burn a zillion tokens, and I usually learn more about

There's definitely exceptions! People can make personal choices of course. Plus if you're early to something you can capture the gains before business and markets adapt.

I'm shocked to be enjoying this read as much as I am, given how filled it is with LLM-tics, repeated information, and excessive useless verbiage. I sure wish they had posted whatver input they sent through the LLM instead. There's

I'm inclined toward your same viewpoint here, except OpenAI's announcement of this came with a blog post that gave off a real bragging/marketing vibe. To me it's clear that even if it was an accident, they kinda liked it

If I'm using medium or low reasoning, I use Sonnet 5. If high or above, I use Opus 4.8. (Before 5, I was never using Sonnet. This is a Sonnet 5 vs Opus 4.8 comparison.) Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8 seem about the same to me - the reason I swi

OK, I guess my confusion was that the effort to ban open weights models is what I would categorize as "groveling at the white house to try to stop their competition".

I've seen plenty of fucked-up guardrails that vehicles have passed through. We know that with enough momentum they will be penetrated. It seems like exactly the correct terminology to me.

I find 5.6 Sol will pick a direction and aggressively pursue it in long horizon tasks. I've got it porting an older game from Pascal to my own game framework. I gave it some instructions on doing a full 1:1 port. I had already ported t
