You’re thinking long horizon tasks. I agree that Sol is great at it. I don’t think it’s smarter in quick win tasks that are still difficult. This is where intelligence is not one of a kind, these systems have different pros and cons. I use

Yes, this applies to every company. The institutions have evolved a lot, and how we look at social safety and fairness have both evolved and devolved at the same time. Companies, individuals, and governments have different roles. Rationalit

I don’t see how this is different from having Stripe easily available to any web developer. I want this feature, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to add it to every website I build. I think of it as Stripe pay wall at infrastructure level rath

I didn’t mean to say it never happened. It’s just that when it happened it was a memory stick, MB, or other non Windows specific issue

Perhaps I’m contrasting it to my Windows ME experience… But, I have seen BSOD multiple times, it’s just that I could trace the problem pretty easily, to something like IRQ interrupts and faulty hardware, MB needs to be replaced, bad driver

I have tried cookie based sessions and I have tried multiple things. I have been battling DDOS and script kiddies longer than CF has been a thing. You’re wrong in that you think I could continue to maintain the site without CF in front of i

I think that to prove I am not a crawler I probably just need to supply a Safari user agent string. The crawlers on my sites actually self identify for the most part. The malicious ones are banned when they try to post spam. Anyway, what’s

Windows crashing all the time? I haven’t experienced crashes since WinXP… Or when trying beta drivers and overclocking. As a day to day windows and OSX user, I’ve had more stability issues with OSX than Windows.

Because I also use AI, and I actually want the content from the site to show up for me, as well as other AI users. More over, I actually pay for three different AI subscriptions, and use them a lot. I also think it’s fair that I pay for the

What would you suggest as an alternative? Block the bots yourself ?

by Demiurge 17d ago
That’s definitely pretty annoying, it’s almost like the walled gardens scenario. I wish this could be more democratized.

I’m not a participant in this race. Are the AI companies worried about anything but their valuations? I don’t care about their valuations, but I do care about the risks that they are creating for the economy, society, and the technological

Yes, my bad! Typing on the terrible iPhone keyboard :)

I maintain a formerly popular gaming website, and it used to have hundreds of legitimate requests per second. The load would be especially high during popular event times. So, it’s always been running on a dedicated server. It also has an “

That sounds like an interesting challenge. Have you seriously considered solving it? Because in about 10 seconds I came up with a process that should work, provided enough compute power. Simply model the traditional film making process by s

Works fine for me too. I use this for GEMINI.md as well.

> What people say about the US government being ahead of the commercially available technology curve is certainly true. Is that what they say?

This sounds right. An individual person can’t change a complex system that gives him everything they have, from plastic forks to gas cars. The society can get together and agree on things, but the society clearly just isn’t concerned enough

The bigger factor is probably the global pandemic, economic degradation, looming nuclear winter, genocide, WW3, aliens, and singularity. Not to mention orange clowns. We have surpassed the Britney Spears controversy era. Unless the polar b

Yeah, I agree, I didn’t mean to impose on this conversation between a man and a benchmark, my bad :p

by Demiurge 2mo ago
What you’re saying is that you’re not interested in benchmarks. But then you go a step further and state that this particular benchmark is entirely inconsequential. That’s like telling you that if you didn’t exist, nothing would change. Eve

Could you share any examples that come close to those limits? I haven’t seen any that don’t have obvious flaws in proportions, layering, composition, color palette, visual clutter, or stylistic consistency.

Also, one of the advantages of the pelican test is that you can evaluate it all at once. There’s no reason the two-dimensional depiction can’t be made more challenging. Yes, at some point the pelicans might approach the subjectivity of a fi

Why would you do this?

This is a sad state of affair. I'm faster with the LLM, but I sure as hell can do everything just like I could, as before the current state of things.

Are these different models or different efforts for thinking (internal back and forth review) using the same model?

I think what's implied here, in colloquial terms, is that it's in the second tier.
