I think they should release metrics for "how much of this is LLM-written" (the raw test statistic, not including length) along with detection.

by Max-Limelihood 24d ago
Because it's pure exploit on the explore/exploit tradeoff. The best outputs come when the LLM comes up with lots of different ideas, considers them, and selects the best one. If you sample at low temperature it tends to regenerate

I don't think Google gets a free pass--kind of the opposite, it gets the lion's share of the criticism (especially for privacy stuff) despite being the most open and up front about what they're doing, since they open source m

Of course it will be gamed. Everything can be gamed. Like you said, search engines are also gamed; that doesn't mean I refuse to use search engines.

Yes, because I don't shower in Google. Why would you want to see less relevant ads?

Android and Chromium are literally open-source my guy. Google is the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel.

Yes, Chromebooks are easy to administer but very limited (you can't run much outside the browser). It sounds like Google's trying to fix that and make a full Desktop OS.

It’s bad that this is against the TOS in the first place, and reeks of anticompetitive behavior. Why does Anthropic care what frontend I use as long as I pay for their model?

But why do they want to control that? It’s none of their business.

Huge benefits: the ability to run any website as an app (dramatically cutting back on development costs and allowing us to finally replace Electron with PWAs), 30% cheaper apps (no Apple tax), ad-blocking, and better performance since WebKi

> 1) Apple loves USB-C Sure, that's why they refused to adopt it for almost a decade after it became the standard and fought the EU regulation tooth-and-nail.

I think they might be, but only as long as it stays open-source (assuming we mean it works on Chromium and not Chrome). Honestly, I fundamentally don't have a problem with an open-source browser having a monopoly, because the open-sour

It's amazing how you can literally start a nonprofit to code a billion-dollar browser, give it away for free, and let people modify it however they want and then HN users will still find a way to act like this is being evil and explo

I lost thousands of conversations I'd had back in the move from "Bing" to "Copilot". Moved straight to Claude and never touched a GPT again.

Aluminum isn't an OS, it's a project to replace ChromeOS with Android.

You still can.

"They want optionally having control" sounds like Linux to be honest; do you want GNOME (no control) or KDE (unnecessary knobs on everything else)?
20.
by Max-Limelihood 10mo ago
You can disable these if you don't want them, and if you do, then "Come to Linux, we're missing important features" is not going to be a winning pitch.

PopOS is great, but I wouldn't recommend it right now while the new DE is in beta.

Yeah, Apple is well-known for being completely insane on this kind of stuff—whenever someone builds an app for this, Apple immediately sets about hunting down and banning iMessage users they suspect of using it. https://news.ycom

They're not, and I think you should trust whoever told you that even less now.

That's why I use C to write all my shell scripts. Can't have something non-portable like bash, which is missing from 75% of computers by default. (Seriously, what am I missing here? Is `apt-brew pacman install fish` really that ha

You shouldn't be writing serious programs in Bash/Zsh at all, is the issue. If it's complex enough to need linting, it's complex enough to require Python/Perl.

I'mma be honest, I think the API is great—EXCEPT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE LOGPROBS. ARGH.

> The Mojo code has to run the CPython interpreter to run numpy. Yes, the need to run CPython interpreter is what makes Mojo slow (and it will remain that way, unless they abandon their "superset of Python" promise).

13 million is substantial but not even close to the 100 million Modular got. Which really makes me wonder what Modular has been doing with that money, if they're still getting beat in benchmarks like this...
