I think this is a welcome overcorrection though. Any good businessman will tell you they'd rather be backed by an insufferable nerd than a yes-man. Maybe it's just me. For like, 90% of conversations, I don't want it to let te

That's a great point about the emotional side of "not being convinced by a person, but an explanation machine" making fact-based rhetoric more effective. It feels more neutral. I think there's a second effect that's

Could be! I don't recall turning things like those on, I use firefox for features not privacy, and mostly leave stuff like that at their defaults, which I trust Mozilla + uBlock to filter the invasive trackers while leaving actually us

This currently is my team's only AI-use policy and I thik it's working out fantastically. "No AI PR Descriptions" is a great rule because it does 3 things: 1. It's a hard binary that's easy to recognize and enf

Who said interpretability wasn't necessary? Manuals, laws, and dictionaries are not designed to be read, but they are designed to be interpreted. In fact interpretability is what they maximize for. And interpretability isn't an ab

Not trying to combat you, trying to combat the other guy, who is being elitist and condescending and also incorrect in very ironic ways. I'm guessing you didn't read what I wrote, or maybe I flubbed the communication in some ways

> What if what he says is true? You mean you don't independently know one way or the other? So you are taking it on his authority? Because it was stated with confidence? According to him, you must be one of those low IQ people. Does

Passkeys can be rotated, of course. The question was whether they should be rotated on a regular basis. What kind of compromise are we talking about? Was the device stolen? Then yeah, you need to rotate passkeys (and all your passwords, and

Linux, Mac, and Windows (i happen to use all three regularly for work, hobbies, gaming), Firefox + Bitwarden. It's totally possible there's something specific about my situation, or the way it was set up in the first place that en

Literally not what the comment you were replying to was saying even remotely, but ok.

And the original accusation that "only low IQ people" are influenced by the words that they read is not? The remark is risible because it is an example of why it it false. Everyone is subject to influence by words, that's wha

Because RLHF causes the opposite effect. RLHF is how we got the wave of "AI Psychosis" in 2024-2025, because the models never disagreed with people. That whole episode caused the whole industry to shift away from RLHF, and tow

But reviewing isn't the same as reading. When you review code, you're not taking it all in end to end like an email or memo or blog, you're looking for important symbols, recognizing structures and patterns, jumping between d

The point of those books is that robots can be perfectly rational, and for a useful robot we would expect them to be. What they aren't is moral , because of the orthogonality principle: you can't use facts and logic to discover c

It's a thing you can talk to that does stuff for you. What other "architecture" do you need to know?

The point about poor support for 3rd party managers is so frustrating. Because this is correct, that is the obvious solution for the normal user, but passkey implementations somehow do not know how to deal with it. Amazon prompts me to crea

What benefit does that give you? Passkeys cannot be moved, by design. So for the website, recieving the same one means you're talking to the same device, always. The purpose of rotating passwords is to cycle out potentially compromised

There is more to literacy than being able to literally say the words that are represented by the letters on the page. Your argument here, funnily enough, is an example of the exact kind of literacy decline as stated in the OP article. &gt

This is basically the conclusion of the "If Books Could Kill" podcast. After reviewing hundreds of bad nonfiction and self help books, excepting the ones that are deliberate scams through-and-through, they tend to be one good idea

Also the "notoriously poisonous" part is just... not true. There's bad faith outrage grifters and climate denialists who promote that idea, but the most common solar panel designs do not contain lead or cadmium. And even the

But this is assuming the model is the entire story. The original comment you were replying to pointed out that the harness is just as important. The hardware of human intelligence is not a singular thing that is uniform throughout. You cann

That "just add a constant to the green logits" as a fix to the entropy problem is so elegant I love it.

Intel doesn't have control of the design of their chips? Jokes aside, I don't think the engineering incentive case can be overstated. Apple has been working to squeeze every milliwatt of energy efficiency out of their chips since

For disposable applications like that, aren't there single-use chemistries that are better already? I'm thinking by analogy to things like: - WW2 proximity fuzes that had batteries where the electrolyte was in a vial that got smas

Even if it does cost thousands (does it? I genuinely have no idea how to scope such a thing) that might be a good price if a custom compiler to your custom target is something you really want. People have paid far more for far less. If you&

What are you even trying to say? The fact that this is hardware isn't what makes it non-open source, there's plenty of open source hardware out there. The thing that makes it not-open-source is that the license is non-commercial.

Why is it not like the dot-com bubble? The dot-com bubble is the most direct analogue. It is a genuinely useful technology that people are genuinely willing to pay lots of money for. Crypto and NFTs were *speculative* bubbles, the asset

People use things they dislike and believe to be bad for society all the time. It has been a majority opinion that social media is a net negative for society since, what, 2016? But Facebook and Twitter didn't vanish that year, or in an
