I'm most surprised that we actually heard about this and it wasn't buried, because it's a terrible look for the military and illustrates exactly what the AI alarmists are talking about lately, totally counter to what the admi

It's not the word I'm taking issue with, it's the concept. From your post you are surprised that the model makes mistakes and does not recognize things, and these are only surprising if you imagine the models to be thinking a

In my limited experience, in h2 this year, LLMs were kind of shit at building Mobile apps. I had to switch TO react native because the flutter app it built me was a horrible buggy mess and I couldn't debug it myself because I don'

Well it's actually not, if you read my post you'd see that I use AI at work for everything, and I'm going back to hand coding for one of my more important side projects. I still use LLMs for less important work

This happens when you have people at the top of the chain who don't use the product and people at the bottom who are afraid to speak up, or use it so much they can't see the problems.

When you're in a cockpit you're pushing the stick forward to dive, up key on the keyboard is often what we use to represent that but it's not a perfect analogy.

Second this. I've been trying to build a casual flying game in unity and getting the physics right is hard. What I found particularly hard is simulating accurately how gravity works against the aircrafts momentum, and trying to get sta

Another point, to counter the " plastic bags are cheap, cotton is expensive" argument, is that most of the reusable bags are plastic too. They are way cheaper to produce than cotton bags, and earn their keep within about 5 to 10 u

This is probably an interesting story but we're just lazy linking to Wikipedia here and Wikipedia has no details. Why was it considered impossible to build this road? All we have is construction details in two to three paragraphs This

It's an interesting tech combo, but I 60W per square meter is quite a bit lower than regular panels which would be more like 200W. The system also seems much more complex. I just can't see people having this kind of thing on domes

This is the first exciting thing I've seen done with LLMs in quite some time. Turning on or off an LED doesn't seem world shattering, but the idea that we might be able to unlock or add functionality to hardware we own makes me gi
