If such people exist, they are far, far fewer in numbers than they were in the past. I also don't accept that nothing can be done about this situation. Inevitability and helplessness are beloved tools of AI hypesters (and others) but t

What about the large contingent of resident wet rags? Can we still shit on the CEOs for not seeing through the BS and guiding their companies effectively?

78,250 is way more than I expected. I sure don't feel like I know 78,000 words.

"X but for Y" has been around for a good long time, it long predates (and I would say is significantly distinct from) "not X, but Y"

Agreed that it's exaggeration. Adblockers are possible, they're just severely kneecapped. It will still remove most ads, but it opens the door for more ads that can't be blocked by the present means. Ad providers and blockers

They do not. They operate at a reduced level of functionality that does not match previous capabilities. uBlock Origin would never have a separate Lite version if that was not the case. Nobody would care about a new version of the WebExtens

See the mentioned game engine reference which closely parallels this.

An expansion rather than just a contradiction would be welcome. In what way is it not true?

You can write malicious MV3 extensions. The changes' stated reason was performance, not security.

JavaScript really isn't that slow. JIT compilation can wind up faster than AOT compilation. And much of the APIs called by JavaScript is natively-implemented browser code. JavaScript is faster than C# yet people implement games in C# (

They're built on Chromium, they still reinforce the Chromium monoculture and expand Google's influence.

Search engines return a trove of SEO-optimized generated garbage. Search engines do not apply labels such as misinformation or conspiracy theory.

Not to mention the very first example. Before: > “I want to know why my React app’s state is not updating when I click a button.” After: > “React 18. useState. Button click handler sets state but component does not re-render. No error

There's always the next great kernel level font or scrollbar exploit.

Yes. In this case, during fine tuning. Other blurbs are also baked in during fine tuning that are perfectly reproducible from the Nex model. The details inside the linked issue are quite accessible.

This is contrary to the mayor's words on Twitter. > An open AI model trained in Rio with public funding over the last year by @Prefeitura_Rio surpassing all other models. https://x.com/CavaliereRio/status/2

Without the system prompt, asking its name results in it responding with the name of the model they're ripping from. That would certainly draw your eyes to the right places.

That shouldn't be used to judge other models - it's never been true for Grok.

Smear frames are not something often applicable in this kind of animation. Smear frames are just about specific to frame-by-frame animation. No smear frames are demonstrated in this article.

by jdiff 4mo ago
You're thinking of smear frames. Squash and stretch are animation techniques that are perfectly coherent. Smear frames as well contribute to an overall coherent animation. They're a counterpoint to the general idea put forward in

I have a coworker who, when he needs to operate some software that is unfamiliar to him, snaps a photo of it and has Gemini AI read each label and description. If there is a checklist or form that needs to be filled, Gemini reads each quest

It's been happening for some time now. I saw this pop up over 6 months ago. After searching I can find some dating back at least a year.

LLMs don't make a good A-frame, nor would I classify them as wood-like. People propose LLMs as solutions as if they're wooden when they're teetering contraptions of metal rods, aluminum extrusions, rubber bands, and duct tape

From elsewhere in the thread, some hard numbers on the topic. https://formulae.brew.sh/analytics/homebrew-os-arch-ci/30d/ Intel homebrew is larger than Linuxbrew, yet I think it'd be shocking if they dro

Had a little luck with having it do an impression of the Star Trek computer, although at the cost of having it try to insert star-trek themed hallucinations like warp engine status.

We already have that in the form of separate reasoning/thinking and speaking streams. Even with that it's awfully hard to get LLMs to keep it consistently concise. As soon as that context window starts growing it falls right back

OpenCode seemed perfectly workable as a programming assistant. As personal assistants, they all fall short. It's too difficult to really shape their output. I was briefly impressed with OpenClaw a few times, but ultimately was turned o

There's always an excuse, or perhaps someone who actually went through it might be aware of the process and limitations better than your surface level assumptions?
