Nobody does. The amount of teenage angst posted in this forum about the current admin is amusingly pathetic. None of it matters. Congress constantly gets a free pass while we focus on a figurehead largely enabled by a passive and embarrassi

You have accurately described a email mailing list. Where in the value-add here?

A comparison to an artificial score and a comparison to “the same task” These folks must laugh themselves to sleep. This whole industry hoodwinked the masses. It’s impressive.

Just speaking from a gambling/odds perspective: the odds that a bubble never pops again in the history of mankind is a 1 out of 100, where the odds of a bubble popping again are 99/100. Your religious finger-pointing cracks me up.

Looking at it from an objective/historical perspective, when he first got on his high horse agents weren’t a thing, MCP was in its infancy at best, and half the code generated didn’t compile from frontier models. From there everything

I think I’m just going to find the best model I’m authorized to use (of a few of them) and get on with it. You’re much more passionate than I am about Chinese models, I don’t really care about the topic much one way or the other. I show up

I realize that was tongue in cheek, but what I found more interesting is that is was only to stand for 20 years and was initially set to be demolished in 1909. So your question is even more amusing as the thing was only supposed to be tempo

Water is lost in drops a year to the universe. It’s raining somewhere. The EU having a poor memory of historical weather patterns. Yes, I think climate change is real and we need to fix it. Droughts have been recorded in history for centur

Yeah look, I don’t have a say in it. Also, the whole Chinese putting backdoors into routers hasn’t helped any. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/researchers-disco...

So you’re being pedantic? Future forecasts and estimates can’t mesh with the trolly problem? If that’s your stance sure, you are correct. I do feel like you missed the whole point of the exercise though, and are hiding behind an absolute th

You think that kind of scenario cannot exist? That is your reasoning for dismissing it? You’ll hafta do better than that.

You must not be familiar with the trolley problem.

Can I ask your setup? I’ve been tasked with taking a beefy machine (vague on details on purpose, the specs are legit) and trying to figure out how to run on-prem inference using open models. Gated in that I cannot use non-US models. I don’t

I uninstalled Google Maps when it started draining my iPhone battery at an absurd rate. Apple Maps it is.

If the extra $200/month means you can’t afford it, you probably shouldn’t be buying a house… Yeah that sounds cruel and messed up, because it is. I don’t like how expensive real estate is and I wish we could have another 2008 without a

Anything I want? Like a car? Or a football stadium? Your prompt skills up to snuff? I crack myself up.

I keep seeing this comment. This is _hacker news_ where, back in the day, people just hacked on things, because it was a hobby. They weren't "moneymaxxing" or desperately trying to be as insanely efficient as possible. They h

Neither does GitHub, and for whatever reason everyone and their cousin uses it still. :)

I feel the same way. It was, back then “the second best language for everything, the first best at nothing” Can’t take credit for the quote, read it somewhere. The whole language changed when they kicked what’s-his-name out, and it’s a tool

It is very amusing to me that in a different part of this thread people are complaining that the waiter doesn't come by enough, and here the complaint is the opposite.

Most waitstaff attempt to be observant enough to watch their tables for empty plates, approach the table and clear them off, and ask at that moment if they would like to see a dessert menu.

It’s almost like they’re trying to sell a solution looking for a problem! Startup lesson #1, don’t do that.

My comment got flagged, which is hilarious. I like to think even the people we think are stupid have a few brain cells rubbing together. Emotion and intelligence are not usually kicking at the same time someone speaks or types.

Seems like 80% of agent use boils down to: grep | sed -i Which is kind of cool if you’re unaware enough to know to do it yourself. Oh, and find. Agents use find a lot.

The US pulled a 1-time trigger on Japan… twice. Looks like it worked out. You should be careful tossing around words like stupid.

I made the logical leap that the firmware enables this. I don’t have the code in front of me, so that may have been an incorrect leap.

The whole concept is kind of silly. We don’t “benchmark” humans. Or do we, via standardized tests? Why don’t we just use those? Or is that what the benchmarks are? I have no idea.
