Yeah I liked Google+, at the time Google had a much better reputation though, if they hadn't shut it down then they did Google+ would probably be fully enshittified by now!

Gemini just has many basic things missing like the ability to edit a message more than one message in the past and see branches of that conversation.

This is very well said! Probably also why social media has become so "fake" - back in the early days of Facebook, friends would talk to each other like friends. But after my religious aunt started seeing the comments I was leaving

This is cool - similar to Sarcophagus in the crypto world, but based on CloudFlare workers instead of a Blockchain. Assuming I trust that it works as intended and the site doesn't have access to my data, I'm still trusting 1. Tha

This could be implemented differently to make tax evasion more difficult. One idea: start progressively increasing property tax on homes over 10,000 sq.ft. - now billionaires can have their huge mansions but will need to pay double-digit pe

Only semi-related but this got me interested in browser-based splat renderers, I poked around online and this is the best demo I found - very cool! https://superspl.at/view?id=4653e2b9

The biggest benefit is in CI environments and Docker images and the like where all packages can get reinstalled on every run.

I have been asking myself the question of how useful an LLM would be that has perfect intelligence. Meaning that for any question you give it that can possibly be answered with the given information, you will get the right answer. Obviously

In High School my friends and I made a movie that was the culmination of all our filmmaking talent and fun. It was about a guy who finds an old pair of leather pants that turns him into his ancestor, a viking, and that viking goes to school

Gemini is already the name of a Greek god, a constellation, a space mission, a crypto exchange, an astrological sign, a car, and a comic villain! How will we ever figure out which one someone is talking about?

It's pretty sad that we've come to this. What if we had nothing? Instead of treating students like criminals we treat them like complex humans and put the money into providing support and welfare for students? My dad was in the gu

In the early 2010s I had a couple friends working at a biotech startup with a moonshot cancer cure. They had amazing results in animal testing, and had raised just enough funding to do a first human trial on a terminal patient. That patient

I'd watch a game show where you put a variety of math nerds on each team and watch them argue about the optimal strategy. Who's strategy will win? The quant analyst or the bioinformatician? Tune in next week!

If it's intelligence + speed you want, nothing comes close to GPT-OSS-120B on Cerebras or Groq. However, this looks like it has great potential for cost-effectiveness. As of today it's free to use over API on OpenRouter, so a bit

One would hope for a more technical solution to HFT than willful ignorance lol. For example, they could batch up orders every second and randomize them.

This is my experience as well in my personal account, however at work given we were already paying for Google Cloud it was easy enough to connect a GCP account. But somehow personally even though I'm a paying Google One subscriber and

Not OP, but Go has some major advantages in cryptography: 1. Well-supported standard libraries generally written by Google 2. Major projects like Vault and K8s that use those implementations and publish new stuff 3. Primary client language

After 10 minutes of digging I managed to find one single screenshot of an actual game built with it. Isn't that the first thing a developer wants to see? https://unity.com/ leads with demos. https://kaijueng

The ring weighs approximately 1/1000th what a MacBook pro does. If it really lasts for years it's a tiny, tiny amount of e-waste.

Given it's doing nothing when not activated, I would imagine it heavily depends on how often you're using it. Still would be nice to be able to say "1,000 hours of recording" or something like that

If we're going off of a "share of budget" metric then the fastest way to reduce debt share is to increase spending in other areas!

There's certainly a reason for the trend of always searching "X Reddit" to get real people's opinions but that's steadily going away. Reddit certainly started going downhill once they realized they could actually be

Nothing off the top of my head! If you find anything good let me know. GRPO is a training technique likely not exactly what you'd do for benchmarking, but it's interesting to read about anyway. Glad I cuold help

Yeah - things are easy when you can objectively score an output, otherwise as you said you'll probably need another LLM to score it. For summaries you can try to make that somewhat more objective, like length and "8/10 key

Just grab the top ~30 models on OpenRouter[1] and test them all. If that's too expensive make a sample 'screening' benchmark that's just a few of the hardest problems to see if it's even worth the full benchmark. 1.

Well, I'm interested in AV1 as a videographer but hadn't heard of it before. Without 'codec' in the title I would have thought it was networking related. Re: HDR - not the same thing. HDR has been around for decades and

Though in the original title AV1 could be anything if you don't know it's a codec. How about: "AV1 open video codec now powers 30% of Netflix viewing, adds HDR10+ and film grain synthesis"

Perhaps this is a feature and not a bug for MS. Every time you hit escape or accept, you're giving them more training samples. The more training data they can get you to give them, the better. So they WANT to be throwing out possibly i
