People seem to expect a sudden shift with "self-improvement", but don't AIs already improve themselves via training? What is there to improve?

I could have after the AI explained it all to me, but at that point the AI knew what aspects I valued and wanted to emphasize to make it readable, so it just wrote it for me. By that point, the AI was just typing for me.

Have you tried identifying exactly what is unreadable about it and telling it to make it more readable? I had GTP-5.6 write some shader code recently and it wasn't very clear to me. I spent about an hour chatting with the until I under

I'm not familiar with how Rust's async works. What if Rust used the function argument approach, how would that work? Would people pass around a reference to an async executor as arguments (or similar)?

Use the YouTube AI summary. I like it. It will include timestamps you can use to find interesting parts, and you can ask it questions.

The tone of the marketing video is a bit irritating to me as someone who has been laid off and feels cheated and fearful of AI. It shows people who seem to have very full and rich lives, and the reason they do is because they use ChatGPT. T

I think my computer should display information the way I want it to, and that's okay! I do pay for the energy that powers my monitor and CPU after all.

Yes, you're technically correct (the best kind of correct). I guess if you consider enough attributes or "dimensions" then any programming languages will be the furthest in some direction, including Go.

by Buttons840 1mo ago
I'd argue Go is not on a "Pareto frontier" and that no matter how you value the various attributes of programming languages, a fair assessment will never select Go. A simple example is: if you highly value language popularity

It seems to me the intrusiveness of age verification will continue to grow. They want the OS to report the user's age. People will use this to claim whatever age they want. For instance, if companies cannot advertise to children, they

Can someone who knows the law explain to me how someone who lives in California, and hooks his computer in California, to a wire in California, from a company in California... At what point do they become subject to Illinois law? And can Il

I think this is a bad thing overall, but if the OS is responsible for reporting my age, that means I get to pick my own age... I'll take what I can get. Some states will pass laws that companies cannot show advertisements to minors. So

Actually, yeah, advertisers might be about to hang themselves. Okay, so the OS in my own computer is responsible for reporting my age. Okay, okay... And some states are going to pass laws that advertisements can't be shown to minors. S

I think it's time for people to build a local database of every site they've ever visited, and then they can give their LLMs access to that. I might be willing to pass this data off to a company to store for me. Companies already

Are charging stations subsidized? That could be a good excuse to add regulations. I've heard the subsidies are the reason why there's so many shitty charging stations. People build them, collect the subsidies, and never actually c

Lean has dependant types. Wouldn't something like Haskell or Idris, that are trying to be general purpose dependantly typed languages--wouldn't they be a better start than versus? Versus appears to just be a formal verification to

What is a "Chinese model"? If I change one weight in Kimi, is it still a Chinese model? If I fine-tune Kimi on pro-America nationalistic freedom loving anti-Chinese propaganda, is it still a Chinese model? If I distill Kimi from o

The actual way to do this is run a few fine-tuning passes on some pro-America nationalistic freedom loving anti-China propaganda, and then you can tell the judge with a straight face that it's a new model.

Won't EU companies just announce they've "developed" a new model named Komo, and then we can just use that? Or is the US just going to straight up prosecute plebs for using any model not owned by one of the 5 Americans?

I have several thoughts about this, which I'll just iterate: 1) US export bans have made it so that Chinese companies have to compete using less-than-state-of-the-art hardware. This has forced Chinese companies to build more cost effic
