It’s plausible in a sci-fi sort of way, but where does the model come from? After a hundred years of focused study we’re kinda beginning to understand what’s going on inside a fruit fly, how are we going to provide the machine with “a perfe

Who is responsible when the speech-to-text model (which often works well, but isn’t trained on the thousands of similar-sounding drug names) prescribes Klonopin instead of Clonidine and the patient ends up in a coma? These models definitely

Sure, let’s send private medical data to a cloud server somewhere for processing, because a medical professional in 2025 can’t be expected to know how to use a keyboard. That’s absurd.

You’d be surprised. Point-and-shoot cameras have become extremely popular with young people in the past ~2 years or so because of the nostalgia factor.

In my experience it just abstracts all the same issues behind its own custom syntax - you’ll still eventually run into the classic problem where your entire grid rerenders when you change a single cell, but it’s going to be that much tricki

Is memory all that useful for using these LLMs? I’ve found that I mostly use them for discrete tasks - helping me learn a specific thing, build a specific project, debug a specific piece of code, and once it’s done I’d actually prefer it

Look up the numbers. OpenAI actually loses money on every paid subscription, and they’re burning through billions of dollars every year. Even if you convince a fraction of the users to pay for it, it’s still not a sustainable model.

I’ve had a very similar experience. I was only on TV once. Right before Christmas, ~20 years ago, I was running some errands downtown and ran into a camera crew doing a puff piece about holiday preparations. They asked me what was most impo

We have decades of experience with computers being deterministic machines that will return a correct output given a correct input and program. I can’t multiply large numbers in my head, but if I plug 273*8113 into a calculator, I can expect

Maybe it’s just psychology at work, but I see a huge difference between that time 15 years ago when I wrote my first useful script, and that time last week when an LLM spat out a piece of code to solve an issue I had. The former made me so

Outrage is the most valuable emotion a piece of online content can inspire. If you enjoy something, you’ll like/heart/upvote it and move on. But if it outrages you, chances are you’ll go straight to the comment section to argue. M

This is admittedly a rare and minor use case, but maybe on a plane if you’re not sitting next to each other? Last time I flew I saw two teenage girls communicating by typing into the same note file and Airdropping it back and forth for hour

Is that feasible? I was under the impression that fully training an LLM requires untold mountains of data, way more than a game dev company could reasonably create.

I don’t see why not. Photos are often combined with satellite data for photogrammetry purposes, even on large scale - see the recent Microsoft Flight Simulator (in a couple days, when it actually works)

That just sounds like an interface without enough affordances to be understandable to the user. Reminds me of Snapchat (at least when I used it a couple years back) - to block a user just tap and hold their name, then swipe right twice, th

Rimworld is heavily inspired by Dwarf Fortress, so if you’re looking for more complex examples you don’t have to look far. DF is pretty granular with the physical and mental states of its characters - to the point that a character might los

Same here! I recently picked up a cube after a lifetime of thinking that I didn’t enjoy this kind of puzzles. A couple months have passed, and I carry the cube everywhere I go as I work on getting my time below 30s. If you’ve got disposable

The reason the city is called Phoenix in the first place is that it’s built on top of a much older community. People have lived (and kept cool!) in that area for thousands of years, although never with the current level of population densit

That’s a nice idea, but the entire world is used to getting their internet content for free by now. People who are willing to pay anything for websites are a tiny minority.

But that breaks OpenAI’s (et al) entire business model. Those AI companies can barely afford to operate as it is, while they scrape the entire web for free. I don’t see how they could keep above water once every website starts paywalling th

Half an hour is still an overestimation, most of these frontend tools go from 0 to hello world in a single CLI command.

That’s actually a big no-no in cinema. You don’t just splice a movie you’re showing to insert stuff, much like museums don’t usually draw on their paintings. Showing the work as the creator intended is the whole point.

> Trailers have spoilers (both big and small), and/or are outright deceitful about the movie. This feels like a strange take to me. Trailers are just advertisements for movies, and ads have to both inform about a product and hype it

Except they’re not fully self-driving, they’re all at least partially driven by an underpaid contractor in a remote warehouse.
