Having the chat logs enter the training data and having them have a meaningful influence on the ultimate result the model produces are very different things. The text for all the Goosebumps books are certainly in the training data and to so

Harness and data seem like two vectors. It's also not clear to me that at some point we won't get a snowball effect from the platform that has the most use and thus the most training data just running away with a positive feedbac

Once they capature enough marketshare prices and restrictions are both going to skyrocket. The difference between the subscription usage and API pricing are stark.

Lol as far as I know that post was the origin of that claim and it's clearly just a guy predicting something that will happen in the future with no information about it.

Most American military planners assume that if China invades Taiwan they'll use smaller "tactical" nuclear missles to do things like destory carrier groups to test the will of the US on MAD. Predicting, probably correctly, t

I have both set up with full access to all the repos at the company, infrastructure, deployment pipelines, etc. I can tell Sol, "Hey we need to update this core database schema to handle this new use case" and it will masterfully

Sol easily outperforms Fable on every task I've tried it on.

I assume it cascaded from one provider to the other as people who lost claude access for instance moved to openai who moved to grok when it went down, etc.

Moving here after living in NYC for a decade was a breath of fresh air. I had forgotten that competent governments exist.

It's an overloaded term for AI models that have spatial reasoning LLMs currently lack. Best definition I've heard is: AI systems that can build an internal map of their surroundings to anticipate what happens next and make decisio

It's impressive how badly Google has screwed up their models and coding products. There was a brief period of time I was using Anti-gravity as my daily driver when they first introduced it and then they just completely screwed it up.

No matter how much I try to explain to some executives that you don't want the most productive individuals, you want the most productive team, they just don't get it.

> Companies want the best candidates they can get Every global company I've worked at has had extensive ethnic networks and sometimes teams of only one ethnicity. It's painfully obvious that they're not just taking the mos

This is all very good advice, but I would caution anyone asking the question at the start of the essay that they probably shouldn't be a Staff Eng. Unless you're at a company where that title is simply a rung on the ladder that d

Yeah regardless of comments by the team to the contrary ( https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2090675027670978569 ) I have observed this in the cdoex app. My conspiratorial mind thinks they're doing this deliberate

After using Fable more extensively, I've found that it often is lazy or lies or tries to take shortcuts. For a company so sanctimonious about alignment, they seem to be the ones doing the worst at it. Availability aside they've r

No saying you're wrong but how is it making their lives worse? Most people know use AI for basic applications and seem to enjoy it while the people I know who hate it all seem to be idelogically motivated (seemingly this is a cause de

There was nothing wrong with twitter, it was a social fad to performatively leave. Github is actually down and I can't push code right now, it's blocking my business which is unacceptable. It's a broken tool.

Ahh so this will be what moves me off of Edge. Microsoft has almost entirely pushed me out of their ecosystem at this point.

I believe they're implying that if the data centers don't get built in Texas they will be built in Louisiana and Virginia.

This reminds me of a girl I knew in college who worked as a contracter for a book publisher. I was surprised to learn that one of the most common types of books people submitted were dairies of their sailing. Like, "we sailed to this

It's worth noting that some prediction URLs, for instance: https://longbets.org/6/ are offline. The original long bet was whether or not computers could pass the turing test by 2029: https://longbets.or

A long time ago, maybe 2016, I interviewed at Paperless Post. The interviewer asked me explain the concept of a promise in javascript, then asked me to implement it from scratch, then asked me to extend it with different features like prom
