Yes one could potentially increase accuracy greatly. One big problem would be occlusion. There is already a solution to this that would be very hard to beat (and one can choose to use or not use an LLM to assist): prepare food yourself and

It’s just an impossible problem. Photons don’t provide sufficient information to determine calories (at least not in any way they could practically be captured). Inside that sandwich could be drenched with olive oil or it could be hollow ch

The most common reply to this is: “people said the same about Books/TV/Comics/Games/Facebook stop being such a Luddite” My answer to this is approximately: “yes they’re all relatively bad compared to the thing that came

I think the only thing that matters is whether the people on the team care deeply about the product; whether they care more about the product than their own careers (in the short term). Without that, any metric or way of thinking can and wi

It’s funny, I think most people roll their eyes when Trump says things like “you’ll be tired of winning, you’ll say ‘please no more winning’”. But recommendations to tax efficiency are unironically that (just dressed in more serious languag

Far from solved! Though, like seemingly everything, it has benefited from the transformer architecture. And computer vision is kind of the "input", it usually sits intersecting with some other field i.e. cv for medical analysis is

It's also a context-specific scale. I work in computer vision. Building the surrounding app, UI, checkout flow, etcetera is easily Level 6/7(sorry...) on this scale. Building the rendering pipeline, algorithms, maths, I've tu

But why are you making projects in so many languages? The language is very rarely the barrier to performance, especially if you don't even understand the language.

Yes because in most contexts it has seen "caveman" talk the conversations haven't been about rigorously explained maths/science/computing/etc... so it is less likely to predict that output.

Do you have any evidence at all of this? I know how LLMs are trained and this makes no sense to me. Otherwise you'd just put filler words in every input e.g. instead of: "The square root of 256 is" you'd enter "errr

I first learned when reading about Steve Jobs, how the Japanese never use "quality" in their advertising. Yet people still view(ed, at least) Japanese manufactured goods as superior quality. It turns out people don't judge qu

Gotta give it to the Cursor team, they must have REALLY good numbers. They raised at a 9.9b valuation less than a year ago and now apparently targeting 50b. Makes no sense to me, the main driver of codex, Claude code, etc.. seems to be fixe

But why? We’ve not colonised either of the poles of our own planet in any real way out of a sense of prestige. Heck there’s huge areas in Canada and Russia uninhabited and these are all a dream to live in compared to Mars. Turns out the rea

Amazon Leo just signed delta as a customer so competition is indeed close behind. I think SpaceX is an incredible company but at this valuation I’d expect it to have something as pervasive as the iPhone or Nvidia chips. It seems to have onl

I think this sucks for the people being laid off but what exactly should they be held accountable for? It's not like over-hiring or laying people off is a crime. The employees presumably knew the deal going in (that they could be laid

I would say not all that ironic. Book publishers, Reddit, Stackoverflow, etc., tried their best to attract customers while not letting others steal their work. Now Anthropic is doing the same. Unfortunately (for the publishers, at least) it

There are myriad providers competing to offer this, nicely packaged with all the accoutrements (IP rotation, location spoofing, language settings, prebuilt parsers, etc.) behind an easy to use API. Honestly it is a very healthy competitive

I disagree, a browser can have javascript execution disabled (and this is somewhat common in scraping to save time/resources). I read it to mean: "A browser that doesn't execute the JavaScript bundle won't have [the re

You don't think Apple would suffer any reputational damage if they deleted millions of peoples cherished memories and important work notes/emails? Also there would be many lawsuits arising from this.

OK but most liars don’t fabricate an entire story. In the startup world they might claim to have 1.5x the rev they have, or that an impressive logo is trialling their product when really they’re in early talks, etc… Then it’s much easier to
