> honestly curious question: do you expect this to remain true? I It's already the case that it's becoming not true. For example see this post from Lin Yang: https://x.com/lyang36/status/2092092709251

If Cyclospora is listed on the label then sure. I don't use the builtin speaker on my laptop -- can I get refund on that too?

There also seems to be some state logic as well. The card knows when I’m in the middle of a trip and doesn’t update the balance until a future tap when it can determine the extent of the trip (presumably). Very cool that it’s all done local

How so? I’ve been working on DNNs for over a decade. Not sure it helps me in any almost non-trivial way when it comes to using them.

Except knowing how LLMs work don’t actually provide much understanding for using them. People don’t use LLMs the way we’ve built on most other tons or platforms. It’s more learning Unity hoping to be a better gamer.

What I still struggle with is the huge percentage of people that support the behavior. Seeing what the Tate brothers did and seeing the sheer number of people who cheered on the crimes and exploitation they did was shocking. The fact that

A property of lack of intelligence though is stopping too soon. The wisdom to differentiate is probably rare at the extremes.

Yes. Or even to go a step further -- once we exclude all the things that aren't hard to predict, we're left with the things that are.

He's not wrong though. In the 80s I'd watch video shows and over the course of a week I'd probably see some videos 10 times. And it wasn't background filler - I'd actually be sitting in a chair/couch and watch

To be clear -- this wasn't meant to be a GPT vs Claude post. This is more that frontier models continue to incrementally get better. No human steering for this level of math is crazy. Go back ten years and ask anyone in the field if

GPT 5.6 Pro apparently solved all the IMO 2026 problems (competition happened July 15/16 in China). It was done with no human steering and on first attempt. I wasn't involved at all, just ran across this and thought it was impre

Italy was it for me. The train station in Rome was crazy. And just Venice in general. I was probably just in the touristy areas, but it was definitely the most hardcore non-stop street scamming I'd been around.

Hmmm. What other cars have you tried? I wonder if it’s the DSP path used for CarPlay. Or could it be the Audi system is clipping this source? I’d find it really surprising if Apple is doing something here. Have you tried Android Auto?

Your use case sounds like exactly the opposite of what I’d prefer. And, I personally find the quality of YouTube Music Premium (256kbps AAC) superior to FM radio.

I think this partially buries the lede: "As a single hiring vendor comes to dominate screening for an industry, it may be more likely that candidates are shut out." If we move to using just a small number of AI models to help do t

I actually don’t think most consumers care about that at all. Consumers loved Napster. They have no problem stealing from artists outright, let alone indirectly. I think to consumers AI denotes lack of accountability or oversight. They th

But so does Windows…

Probably some amount. I agree Windows is strategic, but do definitely could see them giving it away and/or fully open sourcing it.

It’s already no longer their golden goose. It’s about 6% of total revenue (see http://bullfincher.io/companies/microsoft-corporation/revenu... ). Microsoft could give Windows away for free and be fine. Of course i

What market is hotter than AI models? Do you think their energy would be better making games or image editing software?

Same thing happened with the growth of the internet. There was a time when there was basically no consideration of buffer overflow.

Unfortunately grade deflation has little positive impact for the students. Medical and law schools often (typically) don't take grade inflation/deflation from a school into account. And almost no scholarships take this into acc

Unfortunately, the fixation with race in America doesn't start nor stop at college admissions. College admissions is probably the last place where it tilts in the direction of certain minority groups. I agree that we should just stop

They do -- this is often how they've found that students needed additional math coursework before starting the standard curriculum.

That's not what this actual data shows. While there has been an increase math deficiency, the increase in failure rates happened recently and probably only partially related to the math preparation issue. I think we will make a major
