Presumably the characteristic being referred to is superficial politeness mixed with racism or xenophobia.

I think raw brain energy is not a fair comparison. Humans are not willing and able to serve requests at identical competence all hours of the day. You have to invest considerable resources to get a person to even do so for part of the day.

Attention is all you need. Seriously, isn’t this the core premise of RAG / modern embedding search systems?

How do you effectively steelman against your own position without a dynamic “adversary” responding to counter-claims? I feel like every static argument except the most absolutely resolute is vulnerable.

I pretty much exclusively drink black coffee or plain espresso and I’ve yet to encounter any issues getting it. I have seen lots of complaints and memes to this effect, but never has it been my lived experience. I’ve also never had an issue

Yes! Airport gate workers can (and have, for me) frequently pull all kinds of strings and make all kinds of adjustments if you just ask (kindly).

Their scheduling software is also blatantly broken. I understand the difficulty in monitoring a large distributed fleet, but their software loves to say trucks are unavailable where a quick phone call reveals they can accommodate the exact

It is possible that Anthropic (and OpenAI for that matter) actually put out some pretty low quality software. If you’ve used Claude Code for any length of time you’re familiar with all of the strange rendering bugs, freezes, etc. OpenAI is

What really grinds my gears is when the app is a _broken_ version of the website. I find the app really expects you to be on the happy path in a way the website does not. Uhaul is a great example of this. The app looks a little better on mo

It has really surprised me a few times. It reminds me of that oft touted experiment where a light lit up within some number of milliseconds of a person hitting a button, and people perceive it as happening before they hit the button.

Could you not say the same about using a compiler or higher level language or a library you don’t understand or an algorithm you don’t understand or a chip that you don’t understand?

It’s not clear to me why people believe determinism has some special property.

Small amounts of world knowledge seems like it would inherently be tied to more hallucinations.

You do have to worry about scale with lambda though. It’s not super hard to hit a rate limit where warm up times start being a real problem.

I can tell it’s getting bad because I went to close some Safari tabs and got confused because the tab next to this was [a dupe of] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49330597 .

It is certainly the case that isinstance(True, int) returns True, even today.

Others have addressed the validity of your comment, but I’d like to discuss another aspect. Even if it is filter, I think most people would not want to filter. Apple makes it very easy to use private relay and many people that buy Apple pro

I have heard it said that security is the new power when it comes to microarchitecture. I feel like that’s something security enjoyers tell themselves to be happy.

Of course the demand will be directed at the CEO and they will have to provide results or be replaced.

Suspiciously ignored is power consumption. That’s the biggest and most useful metric often ignored because it’s less flashy than speed.

At some point the whims of the CEOs don’t win. The shareholders demand more growth.

Yes. Let’s say I saw a person kill someone. That’s a fact, but my perception of them would be low; that is an opinion. I think it’s really swell how the last 10 years have made it so the basic difference between fact and opinion is not tota

Still, that characterization falls under negligent or reckless depending on if the person knew or should have known the actual danger. It is different than intent.

I think we’re gonna see this criticism become less than less valid over the coming decades, as 1989 becomes more and more “history” and less “present situation”

Now, maybe I was convincing myself that I understood in high school when I’ve in fact it not, but I found that reading it aloud and trying to say the words, as if you were the character (acting, if you will), made it much more understandabl

Unemployment almost by definition means they’re not getting as much money as they were before. We can focus strictly on wages, but for higher earners, it doesn’t tell the entire story, especially if we’re focusing on my new detail details l

I’m pretty confused where you’re coming from. Stimulus checks were a one or two time payment of a couple thousand dollars, but stocks and corporate profits went absolutely parabolic. The share of wealth owned by the richest people went up f
