I was stationed on the Lincoln during the first gulf war. Most folks have 12 hour shifts, you wake up in a triple stacked “coffin” bunk(I couldn’t roll over without my shoulders hitting the top of the bunk) and wait in line to shower, then

Of course it’s never mentioned that all these hacking techniques are in the training set…

Would you also consider a database of questions and answers smart? LLM are basically lossy text compression databases with a clever query method. Useful for sure but it’s not thinking, it’s recall. Just look at some training sets to see h

Talk about a giant whiff. I was hoping they would announce their first open weights model, perhaps an older model they don’t offer anymore, but no. Instead he get this bs statement that reeks of “dam it I’m so close to being a billionaire”

And yet two orders of magnitude from making a profit…

I've been pretty happy with LLM svg based data plots I've asked, including log scaled axises and histograms. Definitely a first world problem of course.

The construction of data centers brings jobs, most of the running of data centers is done remotely. There are more security guards than on site tech workers. Just look at the size of the parking lots. In Ashburn Va, a single tech will be as

I suspect they knew if oil can’t move out of the gulf, then US oil will gladly step in. Republicans have always had to be Oil company supported. Just look at the number of oil tankers leaving the Gulf of Mexico: https://www.marin

Then it would be fair game to have an AI answer the hiring AI questions. After all, they now require the use of AI on the job right?

“annualized revenue run rate” is a bogus accounting term. It’s like taking a paycheck and multiplying it by 365. Notice the complete lack of any mention of profits.

I asked it to write a python program to find the intersection of a line and a circle and it one shot it. Asking for a Swift version worked as well. Rust version goofed with lines of comments and code intertwined. I asked what highway conne

I’m old enough to remember when one checked the assembly a compiler generated because early on they produced terrible assembly. Eventually they got good enough to not needing to check. Coding agents are not close to that yet, but it’s inter

What I found interesting is nanoclaw isn’t a working product out of the box. You must use a coding agent to complete it with features you want. For example add iMessage support, etc. In other words, Claude is the compiler.

I’m using this but using gpt-oss-120B instead of a cloud service. It has been eye opening when I realized the LLM is beings used as a compiler. I asked it to add apple iMessage and apple notes support as I I rather have long responses,

What’s interesting is Anthropic being singled out here. That either means: 1- OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc have no problem with their products being used to kill people so no need to bully them. 2- These other products are so ter

I read his book “A new kind of science” and quickly figured out why it was self-published. My goodness it’s bad and need of an editor. A big disappointment as I’m a fan of his technical work.

Last night, I was able to modify nanoclaw, which runs in a container, to use iMessage(instead of whatsapp ) and use GPT-OSS-120B(instead of Claude) hosted on a Nvidia spark running llama.cpp. It works but a bit slow when asking for web base

After Claude failing to fix a bug after 4 attempts, I wrote this prompt and sure enough the bug was fixed. lol. > no it still doesn't work. Do I have to let OpenAI fix this or can you handle it? I can definitely handle this. Let me

Back when I worked at AWS, I wrote a one page “press release” about this concept where the value add was the weight/power reduction of customer sats that could offload on board processing to the “Cloud above the Clouds”. There is a bo

Definitely helped that I just missed the punch card era. I know young me would have dropped my stack of cards many times…

Young me remembers fondly poking and peeking system memory locations to see what happens. The manual, if I remember right, had a table of memory locations to system settings. Things like font and background colors. I made a “punch out like”

And yet Tesla won’t take responsibility for FSD mistakes. I had one and it’s amazing when it works but it did try to kill me a number of times.

OpenAI and Microsoft have defined AGI as a revenue number so yeah maybe using that definition. I believe AGI will require the ability to self tune its own Neutral network coefficients which the current tech cannot do because I can’t deduce

I’ve been doing the same with GPT-OSS-120B and have been impressed. Only gotcha is Claude code expects a 200k context window while that model max supports 130k or so. I have to do a /compress when it gets close. I’ll have to see if the

The M-series unified memory is built into the chip itself, not separate components. Of course Apple is going to maintain their margins, but it’s easy to see why with this design more memory is more expensive than drams. Well maybe not with

I agree that’s Zed is very nice but a ticking enshitiation time bomb. However, you do see how this autocomplete “feature” and its whole copilot everywhere strategy, is about M$’s roi of its ai investment right? So if you have a problem wit

And yet, it requires kernel extension anti-cheat to stop a game mod from reading and writing memory locations in a running process. It’s a toy operating system if it can’t even prevent that. It’s why corporate machines are so locked down.

Real 5G can’t penetrate walls so I doubt it. AT&T 5G is really 4G so that could be added to tv’s easily.
