A bit related - I tried if I can push Fable to write a Garmin map renderer that would be comparably fast (or faster) on Fenix 8 than the one they claim is possible on Fenix 9 only. I think I got very close, rendering detailed topographical

That's exactly how gun lobby and drivers try to hack the language. "17 shot by gun" "car drove over a family" No. In both cases there was a person killing people.

Developer: Wow, that's awesome, anatomy is now solved. Doctors: I have trouble even starting to describe how not even wrong the slop generated organs are, and how dangerous would it be for someone to learn on this thing.

I love it! Can we have "print to kindle" now? Just open pdf on mac, hit print, grab a kindle and there it is (yes, I know, we can do send to kindle, and some time later, when Jeff Bezos allows so, the doc might appear).

A knowledge laundering engine (that is the whole point and business model of LLMs) is gonna knowledge launder, duh.

As a potential user, I want a competent model (the definition is shifting as the SOTA improves), but Mistral doesn’t seem to be that.

I haven't watched, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_by_Wolves_(American_TV_... seems to be exactly about this. It all comes down to whether you see time and attention spent with your kids as a nuisance or

Helping your child navigate the world is the only remaining thing that makes you human. And you can already ask models to help you become better at it.

I think personalized suriveillance and manipulation (thought control, manipulating people through filtering of content they receive) on a level any dictator would drool over can be gotten for a fraction of 1 GPU per person.

I’ve been playing with this too, the OP is rediscovering the whole field of AI before LLMs. Prolog, temporal logic … The next one is ontology and semantic web, for which the “trying to stem verbs and nouns” is a crude v0.1 attempt.

> for 4 years before it became a little sluggish Weird, I didn't know silicone degrades in this way. Perhaps it was rather the macOS and Mac apps that were getting progressively worse?

Whole Europe does this. I never understood why whole nation wants to live in debt just to have one extra month of cash flow (which they’ll probably squander soon).

No, that is 2 years ago era. Now it’s “native apps for 5 platforms done almost for free” era for anyone who cares. See Meta’s new AI desktop app (no, I won’t install anything from Zuck on my computer, but I appreciate what they did).

Thank you for this report - I tried leaving gmail 2 years ago and returned quickly exactly because of this. Sad to hear the situation remains unchanged. Meanwhile, on my other account, I have hacked together a basic email classification wit

I had a hard time understanding why didn’t AMD make a better developer experience for this two years ago, and am now even more baffled that even with all the LLMs they still don’t seem to have moved a single inch, despite this probably bein

Also cats - I saw experiments where they gave the “my cat is mostly sleeping and sometimes wandering around the garden” cats gps tracker, and found out they routinely wander 8 km away into the woods each night.

At this point China probably has a botnet that can be turned on with a few deploys, and spans a majority of homes in US and RU (and thus is unblockable without disconnecting half of voters from the internet). Ready to attack the infrastruct
