Your last point matches what I’ve seen some people (simonw?) say they’re doing currently: using aider to work with two models—one reasoning model as an architect, and one standard LLM as the actual coder. Surprisingly, the results seem pret

YR24 is estimated to be less than a third the size of Apophis. Side note, we’re only about 4 years away from that asteroid coming within 32,000 km of the planet, closer than the orbiting height of geosynchronous satellites. If YR24 were t

Would this extrapolate to the thousands of lightbulb prototypes it took to arrive at the first working one? Rinse repeat for your preferred innovation. Resource allocation in this context isn’t at all binary.

Great question, I’m not sure about the answer. I’ve heard those that meditate describe similar experiences, and have had some profound perspective shifts trying it myself years ago. I can’t also rule out the age I was at the time, being one

My take on this is that, despite an ever-increasingly connected world, you still need an assistant like this to remain available at all times your device is. If I can’t rely on it when my signal is weak, or the network/service is down&

Genuinely thought we’d never see the day. My feelings on Ulbricht are mixed and have evolved over the decade he’s been in prison. However, the Silk Road allowed me to try LSD as an 18 year old in a safe(r) way than those that came before me

No luck catching them electrons, then? It’s just the one electron, actually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

Not to speak for him, but I’d suspect Simon would be using a terminal emulator. He often mentions preferring to use his own command line tool, named LLM, as it allows one to log everything to an SQLite database for later exploration.

I found his book Waking Up to be a phenomenal resource in discussing meditation, psychedelics, and spirituality without reaching for religion/unscientific guesswork. Free Will and On Lying were both interesting, shorter reads that I th

Qubes is far from esoteric in spaces where security is paramount. Your lack of familiarity with it doesn’t mean it’s obscure. It’s more a tool for a specific subset of people and purposes, rather than an OS meant for wide adoption.

Highly recommend the experience, it was darkness unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Excuse the phrasing.

You truly believe we’re on a timeline that involves the replacement of anaesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, trauma surgeons, and so on, within a 20 year timeframe? AI progress in the last few years has been astounding, but the

You seem quite emotional about this. Is there something more to your argument against this other than your feelings about how others address their grievances in an unequal power structure?

Sounds entirely at odds with any accessibility requirements.

Absurd, what makes you think a criminal conspiracy of the scale you’re speculating about could possible stay secret, long term?

Ludicrous. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, etc.

Can you speak to some of the harder or more interesting challenges you faced during that time?

I have a hard time believing the ‘since’ part of that description. Intuition suggests the latest iPhone would take that crown each year.

Delighted to see this here — the Kurilpa Bridge is less than 50 meters from my front door and is something to behold each time I get the chance to use it.

You make a good point, though I don’t think it’s counter to mine.

A poor strawman. I emphatically wish the best for the Iranian people, but only their government would have you conflate the two.

That’s a lot of words to argue agent the right for humans to self-determine their own governance and fate. Sincerely, I see no compelling argument that can be made in support of the restrictions Iran places upon its citizens. Please make on

I’m aware of the history of Iran, and your comment is entirely irrelevant. I can’t celebrate the advances of a country that’s openly hostile towards fundamental human rights. Nor do I think anyone else should, either.

It’s awesome to see totalitarian theocracies make advances in technologies that have parallel military uses?

Unless this is specifically relating to API access, I don’t think it’s correct. I’ve been paying for ChatGPT via the App Store IAP for around a year or less, and I’ve already got both o1-preview and o1-mini available in-app.

I suspect it’s far lower than that.

It’s not nuts when you stop being intentionally obtuse and speak plainly: yes, child abuse material can be represented by a variety of mathematical means, but it’s abhorrent nature makes it morally correct for those laws to exist.

As far as I’m aware, JIT isn’t available to third-party apps on iOS and iPadOS.
