Yeah, after seeing the logs I made the switch to webp earlier this year. As much as I hate to admit it (not a fan of Google), it’s a pretty big bandwidth savings for the same (or better) quality.

That whole storyline is about him forcing the board to prove their loyalty—it has nothing to do with the money. He wants fealty.

When he was tight with Trump, it all seemed strategic, but how does it look now? Now that he torpedoed his most important brand and got into a public feud with Trump? People think Elon is playing 4 dimensional chess, but it's actually

Just curious, what are the expiration dates on your puts? I'm just as pessimistic, but wondering what your timeline is.

I don't understand how you could look at Elon's actions and think he has any interest in making as much money as he can. He's already made his money. Now he's gone full Howard Hughes. "I would like to die on Mars&qu

Thinking of re-upping my put options on $TSLA. This launch is destined to be a fiasco. It's unbelievable to me that they doubled down on vision-only at the expense of lidar. Google/Waymo is going to eat their lunch on the self-dri

Somehow this seems more intuitively "right" than a single Big Bang event, and raises fewer cosmological questions.

> Are there new jobs coming from this abundance that is on the horizon? Yes: we still have a long way to go in restoring equilibrium to the climate and producing more sustainable alternatives to our current cities, products and materials

You’re right—based on everything I’ve heard about the development of Las Vegas by mobsters in the 1950s, it sounds like they started with a very intentional multi-decade plan focused on ecological impact and sustainability.

Thank goodness… this will hopefully help keep app bundle sizes down, and allow developers to avoid calling AI APIs for trivial stuff like summaries.

As density increases, is there a corresponding increase in read/write errors and/or bitrot? I use ZFS, but with 100TB capacity I would think the resilvering failure would be so high that the drives might not be viable.

Ooh, are we just saying nonsense phrases now? How about “React is just race conditions with better branding”

Calling out overt racism is not “hypersensitivity” and in what fucking world could it be racism? This mentality is why the tech industry is so screwed up.

You have your head in your ass. Read the text: > Chinese text2image generate attractive and more light skinned humans. > I think this is another area where Chinese AI models shine. That is racism. There simply is no other way to class

Wow, that is some straight-up overt racism. You should be ashamed.

As a frequent user of em-dashes, it's quite frustrating, as I'm now self conscious about using them.

> I think writing that sounds good is more likely to be right. Yikes. I stopped reading right there… There's a lot of corrosive, racist writing on social media right now that "sounds good" to a lot of people.

I absolutely love this, and the development philosophy. Nice work!

Yeah, Apple has made it as confusing as possible. But bottom line, if you do the hearing test you'll get an audiogram, which is great.

AirPods Pro 2 are now FDA approved to act as hearing aids, and during the setup, you will take a hearing test that generates an audiogram (essentially a personalized EQ adjustment). [0] I have pretty mild hearing loss, but it was very wild

Same. I guess that’s tinnitus, but I feel lucky that most of the time I seem to filter it out.

Exactly. Economists don't even have good theories for why something happened, let alone what might happen in the future. The entire field is vibe-based, which they try to cover up with a lot of crackpot math.

It's widely understood that Jony was given carte blanche after Steve died, to keep him at Apple. Hence the gold Apple Watch.

Is this model & architecture compatible with llama.cpp and friends?

Yes, this was a great article. We need more of this independent research into LLM quirks & biases. It's all too easy to whip up an eval suite that looks good on the surface, without realizing that something as simple as list order

We have an agentic system that looks up the context size, and then summarizes the even/odd table if necessary. We lose a little bit of accuracy, but now we can handle any model. Be sure to like & subscribe!

Yes, this is what we do as a RAG workflow. We created a list of all 32bit unsigned integers and whether they were even or odd, and we pass that into the context. The future is amazing!

> The actual cornerstone of conservatism is an instinctual preference for stability, order, and the familiar. Yeah, that actually is an inability to process reality. Stuff changes, and things have never been stable or orderly.

These coding agents are coming out so fast I literally don't have time to compare them to each other. They all look great, but keeping up with this would be its own full time job. Maybe that's the next agent.
