Most of the economy is not journalists or people who sell "content" online. In most cases I can think of - retailer, restaurant, hotel, plumber, any local small business, they want their content ingested. That means the AI chatb

I haven't found this to be the case. I tried to make `acli` work, with CLAUDE.md fine saving the things Claude learns about how to use the API (eg which custom variables to include and so on), but in the end found the MCP to work bette

I feel like there's an implication here that distillation is a problem but I don't understand what you mean. I thought distillation was generating text from a model and then training another model on it. Is the something unethical

Tell me use iOS without telling me you do. Android has separate notification channel toggles, so I've turned off the marketing ones. I was shocked and aghast when I spent a year trying to use an iPhone that it didn't do this. Part

All the more reason people would prefer to work for a co-op, no? I really don't know why there aren't more co-ops, and am inferring they just don't work all that well. But if there are any regulations or something preventing

Lot of shoulds, oughts, etc. How about this: do whatever you want. Nothing is stopping you from setting up a 3 day workweek co-op. More power to any group that wants to. There are a number out there already. But it's worth considering

Oh, this is talking about the junior to senior pipeline. I thought it was going to be about improvements in AI capabilities. I think it's reasonable in 5 years that most of what I do as a senior dev (yes, even turning vague notions int

I think another way of framing it is "Waymo pauses Atlanta service due to weather conditions", which doesn't sound at all unreasonable to me. It's no different from "Chicago O'Hare pauses flight departures due

The question was whether you were giving it the rendered image and using the model's visual modal capability, or feeding back in the textual SVG. It's hard to "imagine" what the rendered SVG looks like, for both humans a

I think Glock sounds silly because it's a relatively small weapon and company. But I wouldn't think it at all strange if you used, say, Oppenheimer engaging with the pope around nuclear weapons at the start of the nuclear age. Or

Even more, the pope took his "Leo" name explicitly to indicate he would be doing this.

Would or wouldn't be? I think it makes sense that they will be because of the feedback loop on training. The lab generates tons of example text as part of the training run and if they have that using their own tools then the models wil

I once read a comment on here that I found interesting but haven't been able to find it again. Basically it flipped the problem on its head. We're arguing how you start at the physical substrate and get to consciousness. They argu

I read this book a few years ago and it was just chock full of interesting ideas. I think I didn't really "get" it, or enjoy the story that much but I definitely was impressed by the imagination. Every once in a while I think

Wow. This is going to be interesting to follow. There's absolutely no way any of this code was reviewed, but maybe we're in a post-human world now where you can trust the models to write and review the code. This is like Gastown b

It's the result of manufacturing at scale being so tremendously more efficient. It really does use less human effort, resources, energy, whatever metric you want to measure, to just produce a brand new one than to produce a more resour

Why? Are you thinking this will be a 128GB behemoth running models locally? That'd be pretty cool but it almost certainly isn't. I bet it's a very lightweight device that just calls a remote Gemini model.

Are you talking about in package.json? What's your threat model? That's what the lock file is for, which also pins transitive dependencies, which is just as crucial. Now what's actually insecure is if you don't commit th

TCP has been around a long time. Listen, read, send, you're good to go. It's just software so you can make it do anything. But you're asking about the relationship between popular primarily file serving servers like Apache an

It's so interesting to think about how much power it takes these machines to "think". I think I had a vague notion that it was "a lot" but it's good to put a number on it. If DS4 Flash peaks at 50W and is 280B

> 300 megawatts of new capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) The scale is just mindboggling here. Are there any blog posts or anything discussing what kind of infrastructure is used for even just the inference side (nevermind the training)

Well, I guess people who wanted more oversight and regulation on models will be happy.

Because written English makes so much sense normally. God forbid someone has to figure out the ambiguous pronunciation of those particular words. It seems like a silly thing to provide extra guidance on to me.
