Most software engineers don't need to be superintelligent, they just need to get shit done. You arguably need a lot more intelligence to assemble furniture.

Yeah, I agree with this. There is no point in open sourcing anything that works, in the finance world. I actually have a profitable trading agent, and hell no I will not open source it. It also looks nothing like this. For one this bot is i

I mean we privacy nerds all love webapps but the reality is the people actually in charge of S&P500 companies hate them. They really, REALLY want to fingerprint your device and use it as a verification and tracking mechanism. Until that

Up next: 1. Generate a bunch of responses with both Claude and various non-Claude LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Kimi) 2. Train a discriminator model that can differentiate Claude vs. non-Claude 3. Train a de-watermarking model using the discrimina

Charging is easy in dense cities. The problem is more that property managers are reluctant to get with the beat. Some legal intervention might be needed (e.g. make it a legal requirement to have at least 1/3 the amount of chargers as r

Are we entering a world where if I took a picture with a film camera and scanned it, it would be rejected as not real? This is ridiculous.

There are multiple forms of "accessible". For someone impaired and unable to drive, the Chinese cities win hands-down because transportation is a non-issue.
