If you look at code as art, where its value is a measure of the effort it takes to make, sure.

This is true in iOS, too. Taps are ignored until any animation completes. Must be deep in the code!

This is like Legal 101. It's not that complicated.

This is Anth's typical marketing playbook, a hat tip to their so-called "safetyist" roots, a differentiator against OpenAI's more permissive access[0]. Coke vs. Pepsi. "We made a model that's so dangerous we co

He did say that. And, in virtually the same breath, said they would have to spend $trillions if they hope to remain SOTA, which they have to be [0],[1]. They don't have compute because they didn't play the game and get the good ra

Mounting evidence that claude max users are put into one big compute fuel pool. Demand increased dramatically with OpenAI's DoD PR snafu (even though Anth was already working with the DoD? But I digress...). The pool hit a ceiling. Ant

I am reminded of OpenAI's first voice-to-voice demo a couple of years ago. I rewatched it and was shocked at how human it was; indiscernible from a real person. But the voice agent that we got sounds 20% better than Siri. There's

Replying to my own comment -- didn't realize it was Apache, thought it was MIT. Flame on!!

I'm betting in 15 years, people will still be using Outlook (classic). This is the culture.

Yep. While maybe it's "not cool," (I guess, depending on how much work Delve did in their fork, in which case it could be "totally cool"), there is no legal problem with doing this and if someone is "blowing th

It sounds like the core thesis of this approach is that there is some central service that keeps things in check. The beauty of the web is that it's decentralized, broken links and all. In the age of bit rot, with Nelson's approac

I love listening to the cheering because it really drives home what an accomplishment it is for the people who work on it. Starlink launches don't get the cheering, so it's not like it's a laugh track.

What an absolute mess. It's like some dystopian future where a man is laying in a casket, nearly dead, and on the casket's ceiling, inches from his face, is a screen with an ad blaring to drink more Diet Fanta.

This was an enjoyable read. It seems Buddhism has followed the same path as any other religion/practice of the same age. I imagine that today's Christianity doesn't look much like it did in 500AD, just as I imagine Scientolog

I think people are learning what actually makes a good question. Ask yes/no questions, get bad answers. Ask questions that start with "what" or "why," and the sycophancy loses its purchase.

Marc Andreesen should get HF on his own RL, because he's completely wrong. This sounds like something Elon would say to make Grok seem "totally more amazeballs," except "anti-woke" Grok suffers from the same behavi

Taking a cursory glance at neurosymbolic ai, artificial curiosity, memory, continual learning, I think you'd find that we're extremely close.

If you read the charter of the eval (or any eval, really), this statement is pretty silly. The whole point of each eval version is to identify a chunk of challenges that humans do well that AI can't. When AI gets to ~80, you move to th

Humans can do a lot of things that don't require intelligence. Artificial intelligence does not need to be 100% human to be AGI.

Was just at the YC launch event for this. Haven't felt this much inspiration in a while. Incredible minds confronting on tech that will change our society. I met a guy who, for fun, started working on ARC2, and as he got the number to

> ecosystem To call an ecosystem superficial evidence is puzzling to me. The ecosystem is -everything- for an operating system. Developers, apps, distribution, users; all of it is ecosystem.

I don't understand. Are you blaming Apple for turning your volume up too high?

by mvkel 7mo ago
This is simply supply chain updates marketed as an upgrade, similar to how Apple's Vision Pro "2" was just their current chip line shoved into the same form factor. It represents the company effectively forgetting about it as

To what end would you say the surveillance is for? So you surveil your citizens and precog their opinions... to do what? Make them have state-sponsored opinions? Don't we already have that without the surveillance? It's trivial to

I didn't say that. It's nevertheless a fact that when the state requires specific forms of ID, the costs and friction of getting those documents can hit some populations harder than others

Voter ID disproportionally disenfranchises black voters, Latino voters, the elderly, low-income, students, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities, just to name a few. There is no perfect system; the goal is to have the be
