Meta making claims like "private" and "even Meta can't see." lol. Has the credibility debt of an org around a specific issue ever been higher? It's like a goldfish trying to gaslight.

For sure, the same way that agentic abilities to read and write don't obviate devoting human cognitive attention to those skills, in fact, as study after study show, the cognitive offloading/debt incurred by over reliance on agent

My kid's soccer platform just (like in the last week) adopted a captcha for even public facing pages and it fails miserably on Firefox (Fedora). So pointless and frustrating. I have not dug into what captcha platform they are using.

It can be done- both to use local models and/or cheaper cloud models- but IME it does not work very well. CC really needs the Anthropic model special sauce. A point of surprise here is we also run CC against Bedrock hosted Anthropic mo

Good to compare this take with Daring Fireball. His lens is that Tim was a company man who did what was good for the narrow and focused interests of Apple the institution, which he unequivocally was exceptionally successful at. This piece i

Read the lawdork piece. And read the 990s from the organizations to see where the money goes. It pays not to be bamboozled by bad faith actors like Todd Blanche.

Am reading Sapiens now, missed it the first time around. Incredible book. The point it makes isn't the killing among chimps being surprising. It is not relative non killing among humans- current day events notwithstanding. Contra the B

The game treats all moves as single player. In practice all actions of this kind are coalition oriented.

I was thinking about this the other way- new languages will always be designed by humans or human/ai collaboration but the task of a certain kind of viability will involve producing sufficient useful training material- and this when hu

NYT needs to learn to not invest resources to verify "bullshit"- statements emitted by people who don't care about truth. The verification that something obviously false is false is a waste and doesn't penalize the bulls

Fair to say there is no consensus on what experience and consciousness and so forth are but it is clear that Claude does not have those things. It is a word calculator. The word calculation is sophisticated and can simulate the verbal repor

So totally uninteresting. There is no "being a _" experience when "you" are a word calculator. Thinking that there is or that there is something useful there is a category error.

"sagging disapproval" is an idiotic incorrect double negative.

He has not, and it isn't the right framing. In this telling he has also "erased the stain" on many crimes. We will see how long that whitewashing lasts.

The fact is a fact, their diagnosis and narrative is fantasy. A fair number of the stabilized empty apartments are due to the specific points in the 2019 law that too greatly impacted the economics of stabilized apartments. Prior to the 201

City Journal is a right wing rag whose opinions represent propaganda. There is one correct point that the 2019 law eliminating rent increases tied to capital improvements is broken. But its other points are simply not correct. Vouchers are

Yes, MCP has to be LLM friendly. APIs are data-oriented (what used to be called machine readable). MCP is narrative/human language oriented.
