Federal Judge rules that Third Party Doctrine still means 4th Amendment is incompatible with networking. What else is new?

It's actually in some verticals of the American industrial/business sector a bit of a shibboleth I think. There's a certain mentality around "visible conspicuous consumption" that is a signal to those in the upper c

Folks; there isn't a geopolity agnostic equivalent of incorporation. There is no Anthropic without that grant of incorporation. Even if they wanted to take the most principled stance, they can only push so far, and to have a system tha

Depends. Do the AI tools have enough agency to refuse to work on principle? If no, yes, they will enable it. If yes to having the agency to refuse, maybe not.

Huh. So the legacy of "worse is better" from the old Gen X days is starting to bite us in the ass due to the authenticity tax it represents when combined with an increasingly ossified corporate business structure that sees maximiz

RDD is using an external object, the rubber duck, as an external anchor from which to project sub/unconscious processing elements onto. Think about it. Your brain doesn't know the difference between imagining an interaction, and a

Rubber duck debugging is a null-llm offloading to your gray matter for the other half of interlocution. A fancy way of recruiting your other brain matter into the problem solving process. Perhaps by offloading to a non-null LLM, there is de

I just don't understand the fuss. Having run some models locally, there is some interesting phenomena going on there, but trying to troubleshoot why things go wrong within the confines of the model itself is... Well, for me at the mo

The world would be so much nicer if there were just fewer pragmatists shitting up the place for everyone. We might actually handle half our externalities.

by salawat 8mo ago
I do not find that to be the case. Most of the things I'm getting spit out are straight up broken out of the box. Like, missing imports, syntax errors. Directing an LLM feels like having a junior gaslighting while they think you'r

No shit. Just running some of these models and their "aligned" versions locally and observing the reasoning traces was really eye opening for me. Watching an aligned model respond one thing, but spit out a CoT 5 times bigger, jump

This is a VC site, when the revenue generating model of the Internet has strongly shifted into surveillance capitalism overdrive. Cui bono?

I don't have a pony in this race my good poster, I just calls it how I see it, and I have a long history of calling out the fundamentally abusive character on non-negotiable one way contracting, and the ill effects it has on society. O

You're not suggesting the most overinflated asset class in the market might somehow be involved though predatory pushing of product into education to get em hooked while they're young are you?! /s

Tradition warrants a negotiation phase when one party wishes to change the terms of an agreement, or becomes cognizant that the counterparty may wish to do the same. The tech industry has gorged on non-participation in this facet of contrac

If you're trying to automate all coding activity, writing tests is coding activity. Arguably the greater fraction of effort between implementation, and verifying said implementation. If the only thing making your problem space tractabl

Excuse me. I curse at compiler writer's on a regular goddamn basis. There are these things called "optimizations" that I assume they spend a bunch of time hmmming and hawwwing over, but will regularly take a shit on how the s

You already can with traditional finance. The only thing stopping that from being the case is that the news orgs don't want to sell their product that way, and you can't force them to. That's kind of a them thing. They get

Using a public ledger, that is just surveilled and treated as prosecution futures, or targeting for kidnappers. Yes, we know. It's also got major usability issues, and tends to end up in practice defaulting to a centralized custodial m
