Do you understand what the term "context window" means? Have you ever tried using an LLM to program anything even remotely complex? Have you observed how the quality of the output drastically reduces the longer the coversation get

PageRank, everything before PageRank was more like yellow pages than a search engine as we know it today. Google also had a patent on it, so it's not like other people could simply copy it. Google was also way more minimal (and therefo

It is a tariff thing. Nobody's under any illusion that this was a good decision, including the people that made this decision. It was just a means to an end, the end being lowering tarrifs on the EU. There's still quite a few st

I don't think any of the people at the top actually believe world's-most-average-answer generator is a path that leads us to AGI. It's just a marketing boogeyman and a handy excuse to remove any remnants of agency that the wo

I would argue that the root issue in America right now is that you have one guy that can pass 200+ executive orders in less than a year completely bypassing the other two supposed branches of government. There's no such position or a b
