We'll all have uploaded to the Metaverse by then, running purely on beams of light and upvotes.

This explains a LOT about Google's quality decline.

8-10 years google search was amazing. A well crafted query would hit informational gold most of the time. I've been noticing and commenting on the decline privately for most of the period, but it's only in the oast year this seems

Is there any good reason to post paywalled articles here? May as well just offer an opinion with a headline.

Well, author's caveats noted, but the big problem with day rates is that ALMOST EVERY CLIENT I EVER HAD WANTS A FIXED PRICE QUOTE . This will no doubt vary by country/region/industry quite a bit, but it's almost a given

Interesting, I tried to get an o1 preview to deduce some rules about how MAC addresses were allocated yesterday and it failed badly (there is a simple rule but one of the operands varies a lot) How do people find LLMs do at this kind if rev

Well I wouldn't put it quite like that either.. because you have to be careful what you mean by 'simulate' and 'easier'. There could be multiple ways to simulate the same system, i.e. produce the same evolutionary o

My takeaway: Forbes rich list amounts are basically fictional. Do you think they are devoting the kind of resources it would take to unravel each billionaire's finances? Clearly not. If it's mostly large sharehioldings they might

This is completely routine for Cisco. That's why you don't buy Cisco.

Dune series. Still a unique and thoughtful take on a future space-faring humanity. The idea of the 'Butlerian Jihad', a galactic wide outlawing of AI basically, seems even more prescient today than it would have in the 60s when it

Great article. I was only just thinking this week, "are there really still only 3 channels?". But short of a massive overhaul and in spite of the shortcomings the current system still _works_ better than any other platform. I woul

Some food for thought. Although I think the authors criticisms of syntax highlighting are a bit personal and subjective, alternative schemes would be interesting to explore.

Great to see all the love for TCL here :) Too bad it's not more popular really but even I struggle to find cases where I'd prefer it. Usually it come down to bash for simple stuff and python everything else.

by niobe 2y ago
My safety technique is to echo the commands before I do the actual commands as a sanity check, e.g. for i in $(find something); do echo "rm -f $i"; done (bash example as my TCL is rusty)

Well put, and separating these would be a good use case for system prompts e.g. llm -m model --save instructional --system "provide the detailed steps to achieve the outcome, using a suitable example if necessary" llm -m model --s

Probably still service-focused, powerful,useful and accessible. By 2035 it will be nerfed by commercial interests just like once beacons of human progress like google search.

Not really, there's many many ways to skin the cat. I've more or less settled into Claude Sonnet 3.5 being my go-to for the moment. In general it does as well or better than 4o, but where it really shines is in actually following

Chicken-egg situation really. At least _some_ of the unemployed are just disengaged and apathetic, at least where I'm from. But we don't need science to tell us humans need purpose and to feel they have some social value. The prob

pretty much exactly how I settled on using LLMs after a month of making an effort to.
