I was trying (and failing) to do this the other day. It’s a really interesting problem space and I love to see someone with a more solid foundation give it a try.

It’s not about transfer, it’s about being practically irrevocable.

It feels like the last remaining promise of cyberpunk is widespread cybernetic augmentation. The rest of the genre is not really fiction anymore.

> Picture an LLM as a stack of books. Each book is a layer of basic computational units known as neurons, with each neuron in one layer passing information to the neurons in the layers above. The books at the bottom of the stack are the

Which is really sad, because actually working from first principles is a valid methodology to build efficient products that bypass layers of unnecessary abstraction. The term itself seems to have lost its real meaning however.

Humans make memories constantly, but they also forget things that are no longer relevant. Until Claude can do that, it means the LLM will have an ever-increasing, ever more fragmented context. And LLMs are NOT intelligent enough to survive

The AI- generated diagram is plausible but horribly wrong the more you look at it. Thank goodness the original paper didn’t use that, it’s just this awful blog post that makes the research look like slop.

Trying to censor nudity in image generation models caused all kinds of problems with anatomy in image models. I’m sure these models will have similar issues with security.

If your moat is “please don’t copy my outputs”, you don’t have a moat. There is no such thing as a distillation “attack”.

If saying “plz don’t distill me” is your moat, you don’t have a moat.

That assumes scaling laws still hold up. A bigger model might end up only incrementally more intelligent.

Lack of features sounds better and better as time goes on. No thank you, I do NOT want my car sending telemetry data.

Resin printers like this use UV pixels to cure the material instead of extrusion nozzles to trace the perimeter. Voxels are the natural format for resin.

I’d guess that large games have an even higher percentage of pre-existing mechanics than small games do. It’s much easier to do something experimental if you don’t have to wrangle investors and entire teams of writers, artists, and develope

Perhaps, unless there is a way for users to donate compute to training, folding@home style. I don’t see how that could be practical though.

Code locality has some advantages and some disadvantages. A “perfect” website has things cleanly separated out between style, logic, and DOM, but that does cause cases where you might have to edit three files every time you change a single

By strict definition it obviously is social media. “Interactive forms of media that allow users to interact with and publish to each other, generally by means of the Internet.” People don’t want to admit it’s social media because that deleg

I don’t know if there’s a personal solution to this but the societal solution is to penalize dickovers at the SEO level.

Surely reusability requires higher margins than ever needed before.

I strongly disagree. Copying is fundamentally different than taking because the original source still retains their data. Copying cannot be categorized as theft in any sane society.

Same here. Django is my last holdout for Python. Everything new is go.

That’s why IP law was a cool concept but ultimately harmful in practice. Anything that can be copied for free cannot truly be “owned”, can it?

I don’t know if rotating text is included in this, but the latest GIMP added non-destructive layer filters.

Snap is TERRIBLE for non-technical people. Imagine installing an image editor via Snap, and then the default sandboxing making it unable to access the images on your media drive. No errors, it just silently fails. This has been a problem I’

XCode is one of the worst pieces of software in history. Imagine writing a code editor that couldn’t keep its syntax highlighting from crashing for multiple years .

I saved about $1200 a year by moving from AWS to Hetzner. Can’t recommend it enough. AWS has kind of become a scam.

This one is an ablative heat shield, but it’s supposed to flake off gracefully, not break off in large chunks.
