Prediction: AI will become commoditized ~15 IQ points higher than the state of the art models today, and with larger context, within 4 years as the incremental improvements in training from synthetic data plateaus (we've already used a

It seems to me the two are effectively the same unless you have significantly misshaped teeth (remineralizing vs regenerating). I also use hydroxyapatite, just to reduce my fluoride exposure, although I believe fluoride is supposed to be a

For me the game changer here is the speed. On my local Mac I'm finally getting token counts that are faster than I can process the output (~96 tok/s), and the quality has been solid. I had previously tried some of the distilled qw

Interesting, thanks for clarifying.

As much as I like the novelty of the design, there isn't much of a crumple zone for a head on collision. I could see the wheel placement making this a fun off-road vehicle, though.

Interesting idea! This seems like a natural extension of the coworking space business concept.

I'm consistently amazed by how great the first response from o3-pro deep research is, and then consistently disappointed by response number 5 or so if I continue the conversation. Better context management is the most important bottlen

This finally convinced me to press the update and restart button. Nice to see that not all commercial software projects tend towards bloat.

I'm trying to understand what they are demonstrating with the "false; true" commands in the little video loop. Can someone chime in?

Friends and others who have described the details of their non-technical white collar work to me over the last 15 or so years have typically evoked the unspoken response... "Hmm, I could probably automate about 50-80% of your job in a

Not a bad idea for next generation models, especially since the state of the art already uses Mixture of Experts.

I imagine after GPT-4 / o1, improvements on benchmarks have been increasingly a result of overfitting, because those breakthrough models already used most of the high quality training data that is available on the internet, there haven

You still can! But expect a lot of pushback from midwits who appeal to authority.

Is it really likely that an intelligent person like yourself could hold 95% intellectual alignment with one of the two lowest common denominators (largest pluralities) in a country on complex political topics? Consider how much each party&#

If you like Brian Eno's music, you might enjoy Hiroshi Yoshimura. Wet Land is one of my favorite albums of all time.

From a technical challenge standpoint, trading is extremely difficult. But it provides high upside which only starting a business can exceed. However, starting a business has all the other uncertainty (regulatory, accounting, insurance, lic

My understanding is that o1 is a system built on GPT-4o, so this pricing might explain why o3 (the alleged full version) cost so much money to run in the published benchmark tests [0]. It must be using GPT 4.5 or something similar as the un

Interesting point -- I wonder if there are variations on this calculation available with global GDP, or ideally, company market cap adjusted by percentage of US revenue/profit to US GDP.

Whoop is definitely not accurate for sleep data, but it's great for exercise and there's certainly value in seeing trends.

Millions of dollars worth of subscriptions for reporting on government press releases with added spin seems like a great example of waste to me... The government shouldn't be paying any media outlets purely due to the conflict of inter

This is what I saw most recently: [0]. Whether or not it could be vaguely considered to be congressionally authorized (the executive branch has leeway in the execution of said laws) is more or less irrelevant to whether it's wasteful a

Genuine question: are people genuinely against the work being done by DOGE? I am frequenting both X and HN + other liberal leaning news sources, and it's like the people in the comments are living in different solar systems. I see a po

The quality of the comments is really disappointing. I'll add an optimistic one -- this is the first time in my lifetime that I've felt like the federal government was actually making serious progress on an important problem witho

Agree. For example, Dragon's Egg by Forward is not a well written book by most of those metrics, and yet I very much enjoyed the novel due to the creative story.

CO2 is already used in many fire extinguishers, especially in industrial settings for class B and C fires. And we trust the average person with huge containers of explosive propane. More is possible than you think, but obviously it comes wi

CO2 is a major hazard, but of all the ideas listed and that I've read elsewhere, it does seem to have the most potential when the hazards are managed. That and tarps (instead of throwing them on the fire, perhaps laying them down to cr
