Isn’t this kind of all bullshit. Like Anthropic licenses so many of its models through Bedrock. If the DoD has a contract with Amazon they can just use them.

Shouldn't public signature of the hash of the exe file from a known key before execution fix this??? What am I missing?

Just look at the domains. Obviously social media will get harder to do this with, maybe that's okay though. I think a simple criterion can be used: could the pre-trained LLM have come up with this itself? If so it probably doesn't

Cool to see some innovation from HP, this is actually unique and fills a niche of going from desk to desk (home->office), without needing mobile. Much better than ripping off the latest aluminum MacBook designs.

I don't see how you get around LLMs scraping data without also stopping humans from retrieving valid data. If you are NYTimes and publish poisoned data to scrapers, the only thing the scraper needs is one valid human subscription where

Is it really true that nothing would change if the Sun's mass was suddenly compacted by several orders of magnitude (into a point mass or black hole)? This seems unintuitive to me. The sun is a million miles in diameter, so surely shri

The dude works for GitHub. I don’t doubt there is some rotten code on there, but what you’re saying seems like a stretch and exactly what he’s describing.

To be fair, millions could be hundreds of millions.

Just because it uses the className attribute doesn't really mean it is "like tailwind"... SQL is not anything like CSS classes and cannot be composed in the same manner. It's basically just using className as a data attr

What’s the point of this article — everyone knows desiring heroin is different from wanting to become an Olympic swimmer.

This feels like a nascent form of what Nick Land describes as "hyperstition" ... feedback loops where the presence of it's idea within peoples mind brings it into realization. Worth a read: https://en.wikipedia.org

I mean... in what world would you send a customers private root key to a web browsing client. Like even if the user was authenticated why would they need this? This sort of secret shouldn't even be in an environment variable or databas

They didn't even mention MessagePack. Also there is a huge amount of developer over-head for using things like ProtoBuf. You can always validate your API responses with Zod or JSONSchema so that is a bit of a moot point!

I’d argue that AI apis are nearly trivial to switch… the prompts can largely stay the same, and function calling pretty similar

I agree with his take on Googles enormous strategic advantages. I think he’s wrong that OpenAI can win this by upping the revenue engine through ads or through building a consumer behavior moat. At the end of the day these are chat bots. No

What do you mean by “understand”? Do you mean conscious? Understand just means “parse language” and is highly subjective. If I talk to someone African in Chinese they do not understand me but they are still conscious. If I talk to an LLM in

This article uses the computational complexity hammer way too hard, discounts huge progress in every field of AI outside of the hot trend of transformers and LLMs. Nobody is saying the future of AI is autoregressive and this article pretty

IMO This is a dangerous way of thinking. This is the Timothy Leary adage that you are stating. It is not just a "set and setting" issue. Whether or not you have a good or bad trip, or whether you are alongside kind empathetic peop

I have done Ayahuasca. I think it's dangerous to say it is "healing"... it's a window not a door. You have to be careful, some personalities will develop psychosis and disconnection from reality. You will certainly end u

Exactly this. Like is the research actually useful and correct is what matters. Also if it is accurate, instead of schadenfreude shouldn't that elicit extreme applause? It's feeling a bit like a click-bait rage-fantasy fueled by P

I agree with you there's a lot hand-wavy jumping to conclusions and claims human effects often feel like pop pseudo-science. However I do think when folks imply that epigenetic effects are negative they tend to point towards things lik

Of course I am not saying they are all Nazis. I fully support Ukraine. But certainly many of the battalions have far-right views, as in they are literally neo-Nazi's that support the holocaust / Hitler. I don't mean to use it

I think there is a lot of merit to this approach. Ultimately we live in a world guided by physics and macro-level perception driven by our senses and our own motor control. Of course newtonian physics is not the end all be all -- cell biolo

Agreed. I think for Nietzsche a man creating meaning to their own existence is the act of the artist — conquering one’s self. God and the afterlife provided some basic land and footing to do this… or at least posited the possible existence

Whoever wrote this article probably has little more than a cursory or highly aesthetecized understanding of Nietzsche’s philosophy. It feels like they just related his idea of value-creation to a bunch of pre-conceived purportedly “bad thin

I'm not so sure that is entirely accurate. Most of Israel's military superiority is based completely on air supremacy -- Dahiya doctrine. Even w/ F-35's this requires tons of US produced munitions (smart bombs etc). The

In my opinion the whole agents.txt thing is bullshit and/or politeness, and should have zero legal significance. If something is openly available on the internet you should be able to crawl it, and it is the server's responsibilit

And all we have to do to have them roll over on our command is to threaten the halt of the billions of weapons and aid we send annually. My main issue is that Israel/US relations feel like the tail is wagging the dog. Israel exists bec

Maybe it’s for a use case I don’t understand… but I don’t see why anyone would use this for a modern, complex, richly interactive web-app. I also don’t really see any examples of a high quality major production site using htmx.
