I’m genuinely excited about this. The GitHub actions platform is genuinely bad compared to circle or Travis but they’ve been totally crowded out because GitHub was just so easy to use. This has led to plenty of security issues and a general

Yea you’re definitively paying more for a product vs just a raw computer. I wouldn’t want it as I bought an intel nuc and manage it myself but I could see less tech savvy people who what to get into the space finding this interesting.

I think the point is a bit more nuanced and has to do with the authors conception of the self. He argues that even if you got immortality and lived a great life at some point You would stop being You so you might as well have died anyways.

Yea bag of words isn’t helpful at all. I really do think that “superpowered sentence completion” is the best description. Not only is it reasonably accurate it is understandable, everyone has seen autocomplete function, and it’s useful. I d

It’s a longer read, and the tangent on copyright while interesting and something Cory is passionate about is slightly off topic, but it’s the rare piece bringing up the key issue with AI. The argument goes like: - The valuations are only re

Anecdotally vegetables I grow are wildly more flavorful than ones you can buy. Like think grape tomatoes as sweet as grapes. Green beans that a have complex flavor almost like green tea. The butternut squash that I accidentally grew this ye

Yea this is true of virtually all problems today. It's one of the blind spots of the AI acceleration crowd. Cancer vaccine discovered by GPT-6? You still have to convince people it's safe. Fusion reactor modeled by Gemini? Convinc

They aren’t talking about Gemini because Google is the brand name people know. “Oh Google told me this”. “Google planned my day.” Or maybe “Google’s AI said X” Gemini is less a consumer brand name and a more a brand name for those of us who

This is an interesting point but while I agree with the article, don’t think LLMs are more than sophisticated autocomplete, and believe there’s way more to human intelligence than matrix multiplication humans also cannot explain in many cas

You just described a union. One of the things that’s wild to me about the book is that it’s pushed as a proponent of individualism and libertarianism but Gault’s Gulch is just the wealthy unionizing. There’s nothing individualistic about it

Because other people matter and building a caring and just society means we’ll all get further in the one life we have. If you require the threat of eternal punishment to do the right thing and be a good person I’d question if you truly are

The difference is that’s an open market. When rents change off market, going up at the end of the year for example, that information isn’t available to market participants.

I came here to quote the same quote but with the opposite sentiment. If you look at the history of work, at least in the states, it’s a history of almost continual devaluation and automation. I’ve been assuming that my generation, entering

Really nitpicky I know but GPT-3 was June 2020. ChatGPT was 3.5 and the author even gets that right in an image caption. That doesn’t make it any more or less impressive though.

You can buy microscopes for pretty cheap if you’d like to look for microplastics yourself. But regardless I’m curious what you think happens to the plastic you use. Where does the little bit you scrape away go when you cut on a plastic cutt

Tangential but seeing the `source: GPT-5` under an image I could only guess at what it’s trying to say made me realize that image prompts are basically the perfect image caption. They contain the intent and framing of the image.

Aside from a belief that the AI adoption will happen very quickly, which maybe that’s your main point, you’re not really disagreeing with the article: > All this means two things to us: 1)The AI revolution will indeed be one of the bigge

To agree with the comments it seems likely it's money which has begun to result in a slow "un-learning how to build systems that stay up even when the inevitable bug or failure shows up."

The theory I’ve heard is holiday deploy freezes coupled with Q4 goals creates pressure to get things in quickly and early. It’s all been in the last month or so which does line up.

East Coast and Midwest also differ. As someone from a WASPy east coast family with a partner from a working class Midwest family, a literal union steel mill family, I can attest to the challenges of navigating situations like this. I had a

Yea my partner grew up genuinely poor and it’s interesting seeing how it impacts their mentality. The simplest but clear example is they never finish low-perishable food they like until they have more of it. There is always a few potato chi

So wild to think Cambridge Analytica was a scandal worthy of congressional hearings. LLMs are personalized persuasion on steroids.

Watching 2 and 3 happen in real time is crazy. Companies are being considered more successful just because of the level of capital commitments they are willing to sign and not because fundamentals. Which of course I know there’s more to it

Yea totally agree. The comment I was responding to was clapping back about allegations of homeless individuals being pushed into assisted suicides in Canada. That’s what I meant would be unlikely to be encountered. I’ve updated my comment t

Some of the allegations around the Canadian assisted suicides are absolutely indefensible and heinous but a tourist isn’t likely to encounter it. Even if you support the actions by the Trump administration, honestly especially so given the
