At this point, it wouldn't be difficult to get a safety-trained LLM to prescreen your training set for the next model. (What that would cost, I can't estimate, but it seems simple in theory to reduce the amount of "harmful&qu

Okay, I'm generally a fan of the EFF, but what they say in this article is untrue? > Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs. > Yes, really. Which is then followed by the actual explanation: > an age verification bill th

Right - I'm sure you're not doing anything malicious. iI just amplifies the monetization concerns, because if you can't make a business out of it, the only lucrative option left (that other extensions have also done) is to se

Especially with the permissions you necessarily grant to this extension! The easiest way to monetize this is to sell it to somebody who will exfiltrate all your banking data with an invisible auto-update.

Water taxes should probably be regional. The price of water in the arid Southwest is much higher than toward the East coast. You might see both datacenters and beef production moving toward states like Tennessee or Kentucky.

I wonder if the haptics are programmable enough to simulate that.

When I was younger, I picked up a copy of "Mutant 59: The Plastic Eaters"[0] at a used book sale. While the book itself was rather shlocky, I always thought the premise was very compelling. From memory; a scientist created a breed

Article has LLM-stank on it. Hard to tell how much is actually Steve Blank's original thoughts, and how much is just AI slop. TBH, it fits the philosophy - why write a good article yourself, when you can get a 70% article for 5% of the

If you google it with the words next to it, 'Home Office TCN' (no quotes necessary), the proper definition comes right up. It's written for a UK technical audience, who is likely familiar with these terms. An American article

Cost here doesn't just include financial cost, but also time. As an extreme example, you could surely catch diseases earlier by visiting a doctor for an hour or two every day - getting tests for all sorts of things you might have conce

Part of providing good care is not burdening the patient with tests or treatments that are very unlikely to yield benefit. Put another way, the mission of healthcare is not "health at any cost."

Edit: Apologies, it looks like I misunderstood. Original response left below for posterity. It's not "weirdly defensive and uninformed" to question the value of posting a bunch of inaccurate LLM slop, especially without any d

Good point - I should have specified. Looking it up now, the CPU my phone uses is the Helio P22 - a budget chip released in 2018. So performance might be fine on more reasonable phones. :)

Cool idea - I could see playing this daily. Some of it was a little frustrating, mostly the acronyms. Labeling them as such might help, because I was going mad trying to figure out "NNW" and "WWOOF.". Also, performance w

With regards to your last point - in-person, you have more opportunities to connect with people at times that they're clearly not in the middle of something. Whether that's at the coffee machine, or right after a meeting, or just

I think the easiest way is to start with general properties and general input, and tighten them up as needed. The property might just be "doesn't throw an exception", in some cases. If you find yourself writing several edge c

Feeding the 250M lines of Android source code into an LLM's context window. From your response, though, I'm guessing you were serious about that.

It's moved toward the edges of your program. In a lot of functional languages, places that can perform these effects are marked explicitly. For example, in Haskell, any function that can perform IO has "IO" in the return type
