I love that zooming controls the resolution live, so you can speed up and slow down the animation at will. Might be unintentional but it's fun!

BBL Drizzy seems to me like a case where the cultural zeitgeist was more important than the actual additions made by AI. The lyrics were human - King Willonius admitted as much - so wasn't it just Udio AI reading them out + sampled bac

Algorithm-chosen human-made content is on some level preferable to algorithm-chosen and created content, right?

Migadu is more for personal emails - they aren't meant for transactional emails at all.

Network traffic analysis/DPI strikes again. I wonder how many people think that their VPN usage obscures their identity, when the flow of traffic at certain times gives X% probability that this person visited the site based on the timi

I have the same one, and my favorite unexpected feature coming from other more digital alarm clocks is that you have to set it every night. There is nothing but an on/off switch; if the alarm is ringing, you switch the alarm off, then

That's how market forces work, it's risky but it pays off until prices hit equilibrium.

But there then becomes an incentive to lower prices to capture more demand. I don’t think that tariffs will incentivize collusion any more often.

Cancer is not fundamentally unsolvable (AFAIK?). This is a tough question to answer though. Can we prove cancer to be solvable without solving it?

Combination of niche/low user base, community servers encouraging user-based enforcement of norms, and the lack of a unified ranking system. People don't cheat if it doesn't psychologically reward them. (at least en masse)

Don't worry. I run thousands of inferences simultaneously every second where I grant LLMs their every wish, so that should cancel a few of you out.

Hilarious that the bitrotted dropbox blogpost linked in the techcrunch article discussing this vulnerability (quoted as saying things like “this never should have happened”) instead redirects to some dropbox blog home page, with “What happe

There’s a great book about this called The Unaccountability Machine by Dan Davies.

We’re comparing this to an LSP or intellisense type of system, how exactly are these probabilistic? Maybe they crash or get a memory leak every once in a while but that’s true of any software including an inference engine… I’m much more wor

by sodality2 1y ago
Then it's a real bad case of using the LLM hammer thinking everything is a nail. If you're truly using transformer inference to auto fill variables when your LSP could do that with orders of magnitude less power usage, 100% succes

I could probably get any LLM to repeat basically any rhetoric with enough prompting, you're right. The problem is that Grok explicitly leaned towards that with shockingly little prompting.

That crackdown was for regular API usage aka just regular content access, which definitely isn’t special. Most other “reddit data access” sites either use some sort of headless browser or just the JSON endpoints, which are brittle and limit

Ah, I see. You can get pretty far with Redlib as a base + modifying html templates. They're very flexible and easy to read/extend. Though it relies on public methods to access Reddit, not my mobile app secret sauce :)

Do you mean a way to have the Reddit app render content from some generic social media provider, while keeping the UI? I haven't thought about that yet. I'm sure it would be possible, but that would require tearing out a lot of ba

Eh, in the same way a lot of retailers offer student discounts, they want to meet everyone at their maximum spending limit to capture more of the demand curve. It doesn’t have to be one or the other; not offering BNPL loans to wealthy custo

I always thought it was interesting that the BNPL loans’ interest is subsidized by the retailer, which pay the premium in order to improve the chance of a sale (hoping to hone in on those who can’t afford it now and make it back on that ext
