Shouldn't one use e.g a Wolfram Alpha MCP endpoint for math in AI? From what I've seen on even premium non-quantized models, I would never ever trust the innate ability of a LLM to calculate.

Prices are also expected to drop significantly in H2 as they move to Huawei Ascend 950 super nodes. Yes, even compared to this low price point. As before, the headline news with DeepSeek isn't in the benchmarks, but that they're c

It's interesting to note here that Anthropic indeed don't use "do not X" in the Opus system prompts. However, "Claude does not X" is very common.

I think there's a parallel here in advertising and what AI has done there. It's clearly used nowadays, a seasoned user can probably spot it straight away even if it gets harder over time. Still, it's deemed "good enough&

How is X even still a thing. I left a few years ago and didn’t even think I was early. Baffling how EFF has supported a person like Elon Musk for this long and not went all in on Mastodon. ”The math isn’t working out”? Such a cold message.

I went on a Wikipedia dive and discovered this funny bit regarding the court process surrounding Lavabit and FBI's desire of the TLS private keys. > The contempt of court was caused by Levison providing the keys printed in a tiny (4

From the article I assume D5 was used simply because it was battle tested and proven, and a an additional Z9 was picked because they fancy the camera and they want to know if it can also be used. Maybe there's more to it? Otherwise I t

I recommend https://issinfo.net/artemis over the surge of vibe coded Artemis II trackers. Seen two others so far and they've all had major inaccuracies either regarding trajectory, current distance, or current mission

I agree; LMArena died for me with the Llama 4 debacle. And not only the gamed scores, but seeing with shock and horror the answers people found good. It does test something though: the general "vibe" and how human/friendly an

Yup, this brings back my academia years in 1998, sitting with KDE 1.0 and Java 1.1. It was mostly Java, then Perl as this fabulous scripting/glue language, teeny bit of C and MIPS Assembler for the low level courses. We didn't tou

I was thinking about creating charts of shame for this across some sites. Is there some browser extension that categorizes the data sources and requests like in a pie chart or table? Tracking, ad media, first party site content...? Would be

It's a gamer subculture, I think originally from showing off your build? The irony is that people in the Western culture are generally lonelier than ever, and definitely going to fewer LAN parties than in the past. And this showcase th

And this is it. This is why we are where we are today. That it is seen as taking a religious zeal to realize how flying very frequently is disastrous for the climate. That's our bar and what we have to work with. Yes, we are properly f

I think it has more to do with LLM's being statistical models than human creativity lacking in the input. The creativity and millions of voices and tones may be there, but since these models tend to go for the most likely next words, p

As a community alpha tester of GW1, this was a fun read! Such an educational journey and what a well organized and fruitful one too. We could see the game taking shape before our eyes! As a European, I 100% relied on being young and single

Yes, back 10-15 years ago MBP felt more prosumer to me but they have monstrous performance and price points nowadays, like true luxury items or enterprise devices, that I'm happy to see good base specs on the MBA. The base spec on that

Even with the $100 price bump, I think this is a win. 16/512 is a very nice base spec on Mac.

These are kinda popular today in the form of AI Dungeon, NovelAI, FictionLab etc. Basically you create characters with bios, traits. Then a setting/context. Now, as you write your story, you can have multiple characters involved and th

Also apparently eating 2 GB RAM or so to run an entire virtual machine even if you've disabled Cowork. Not sure which of this is worse. Absolute garbage.

This is a component for sure, but also think of why Anthropic was born. It exists because of disagreements with OpenAI on the values of AI safety and principles.

I switched to semicolons... They look similar enough in use to string things together. I'm sure AI is coming for those too though, and that will be a grim day because those are my last stand.

It's the ambition as a home user OS though, like macOS. And in the discussion of "it just works" operating systems, who else are we to go by than the vendor ambitions? Personal opinions? In that case, neither is because both

This comparison holds up to me only in the long standing debate "LLMs as the new engineer", not "LLMs as a new programming language" (like here). I think there are important distinctions there, predictably one of them.
