I'm on Pro two-week trial so I tried a mix of mainstream premium models (including reasoning ones) + letting Cursor route me to the "best" model or whatever they call it.

by kaoD 1y ago
Yes, I used Cursor and tried providing both the whole Liquidsoap book or the URL to the online reference just in case the book was too large for context or it was triggering some sort of RAG. Not successful. It's not that it didn'

Personally (anecdata) I haven't experienced any practical progress in my day-to-day tasks for a long time, no matter how good they became at gaming the benchmarks. They keep being impressive at what they're good at (aggregating so

You can embed HTML in an SVG via foreignObject. Seems like that's exactly what the library is doing[0]. Whether that's faster or more reliable, I don't know. Seems likely to render different depending on where you view the SV

How come there are so many patents and yet as a consumer I see zero inventions I'd regard as patent-worthy?

Do you think the mass market thinks GPT is an acronym? It's just a name. Currently synonymous with AI. Ask anyone outside the tech bubble about "Gemini" though. You'll get astrology.

How is ChatGPT bad in terms of marketing? It's recognizable and rolls off the tongue in many many many languages. Gemini is what sucks from a marketing perspective. Generic-ass name.

MDN disagrees. See the huge red warning here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource Unless you mean on HTTP2? But aren't WS connections also multiplexed over HTTP2 in that case

In the ad-tention economy, engagement means more eyes on your ads. Advertisers desire engagement which is therefore a proxy for future net income. Then investors transposed that proxy to non ad-tention businesses, driving up engagement-rich

It's not even related to tech or field maturity. Web apps are complex beasts. A junior architect cannot design a safe and maintainable skyscraper (hell, they probably can't even design a proper two-story home without making mistak

Seems like you're dismissing the cost of artificially splitting what should be a monolith. It outweighs the supposed productivity boost of LLMs by at least one order of magnitude if not more.

To clarify why it's actually not that ambiguous: TS is not (and does not have) a runtime at all. Even TS-first runtimes like Deno are (1) not TS but its own thing and most importantly (2) just JS engines with a frontend layer that trea

Yes, humans can bullshit too. Is that the standard to which we want to hold our AI? The question is not if humans do bullshit like LLMs, it's whether AI can think like humans.

> at least a simulacrum that is superficially indistinguishable from metacognition That's where we disagree I guess. I can very much distinguish between a human reflecting on e.g. how they don't know something, and an AI blindl

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fume_event is a bit clearer on what these "fume events" are. This surprised me: > It is not mandatory for fume events to be reported in the U.S.

If I were an US citizen this would be the most worrying aspect to me. Are the congressmen so incompetent that they didn't see this coming? This backfired horribly for them in multiple ways... unless this was somehow part of a master pl

Free speech is not about the "who" but the "what".

Yeah, the government loves to be the only one that can brain rot their (loved that you used the possessive pronoun!) society. When did the US citizens become so subservient to their government? I thought distrusting the government was Ame

You are misinterpreting Karl Popper. Free speech should only stop on those trying to attack free speech. If anything, it applies in reverse here.

> Propaganda isn't free speech. If free speech has exceptions it's not free speech. The government will keep adding exceptions.

by kaoD 2y ago
It is never okay, but the rest of the world (and sensible Americans) sees it as hypocritical when the land of the free does it. The US government should just go ahead and say it like it is: they'd like to hold as much power as the Ch
