Yeah to be fair I'm all for the 1/sqrt(2) aspect ratio, I just think it's funny that it's treated as some kind of holy design constraint when they're all over the map on phone sizing :) And the extra irony is I&#x27

And honestly you could have a similar antitampering oracle that was at least obscured, in terms of "we've detected tampering but won't tell you how or why", which is frustrating but I have to imagine that 99.9%+ of image

Given the whole private cloud bit, I am assuming they keep the private keys server side and never let them out.

Yeah the biggest task these days that I do manually is curating the documentation. AGENTS.md in every major directory, and a variety of reference docs that are explicitly referenced in those files. # See DOC-ITEM-NAME DOC-ITEM-NA

The other thing that I think a lot of people run into is that they launch it into a completely human-built system with hundreds of thousands of lines of code and expect run #1 to be perfect. You have to change the system so that the AI unde

I think this really was a relevant issue around a year ago, give or take, maybe a year and a half now. But with current models you actively have to sabotage the context to get this kind of behavior, or dramatically underspecify (3 words ver

Clear context, revert the commit, change the prompt or documentation, try again.

At this point it very dramatically is more reliable and predictable than any human I've worked with. Do you know anyone who actually reads and adheres closely to all of the documentation every time it's changed?

I've been seriously considering getting a tattoo saying "commit to the bit". I find that's both one of my strengths and something I value a lot. It's a kind of anodyne to this problem - do your analysis, make the be

So, if I'm building, say an iOS app, I have a) the code itself (swift/react native), b) the internal test suite (unit tests), and c) the e2e test suite with something like XCUITest that drives the physical development phone, plus

Yes I'm using the entire consultancy stack - define values, etc, and work your way down the "where do these not match reality on the ground and need change", but for little robot people instead of (arguably less messy) humans

Yes, you need some kind of other source of truth. I think the best way to get that is to do clean room development with a different agent, but ultimately if you give them the wrong idea they'll do the wrong thing. The other thing I do,

This is the fault of the distribution of the benefits, not of the technologies themselves, at least in so far as they don't actively accelerate the shift of value from labor to capital. Washing machines reduce drudgery no matter who ow

Other than that, Ms. Lincoln, how was the play?

by jaggederest 1mo ago
I felt the same way at the time. Now, I believe we have better things to spend our collective time and energy on.

Far from the most frustrating thing they did, trust me. I could tell you stories for days and never run out of more frustrating anecdotes.

Instead of registering foo.com, and having bob.foo.com, they would register bobfoo.com - they had hundreds or thousands of certs, as a result, and had to renew them all annually or biannually. We didn't even manage all of the domains,

Exactly what they did in many instances.

Okay, nowhere did I say it would be before they learned language. I said we could use models that can trivially build notetaking systems to auto-improve themselves by taking, refining, and updating notes as a memory system to exceed the x t

I was working for a company that had hundreds and thousands of domains. It was a fortune 50 company, and they had a policy generally against wildcard domains.

They're poking at SOX and Dodd-Frank I think, but it's a bit of a specious argument, in my opinion the rise of massive private equity (plus the absurd market orientation around short term results) is more of the story, as you say.

Or, to put it as Groucho Marx did: "Please accept my resignation, I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJHUres_2xU&t=228s

I'm pretty sure firefox itself is a direct contradiction to this, but ok...

I guess I fundamentally disagree, because on general knowledge they beat any human, and on processing speed they beat any human, and on problem solving likewise. I just don't see a domain besides "retain change over time" tha

I also think it's moving the goalpost significantly. If you asked me what AGI looks like in 2024, I would have said "smarter on tasks that can be done via text than the average random human you'd meet in a NY bodega", an

I feel like making a human-proof benchmark is pretty clear evidence that they've exceeded even the highest human capacity in most respects, for things that you can do via text generation (and to a lesser extent image generation)
