In line with the other comment on this post: I also am classified as “brilliant” by people and IQ tests. My country gave me an award for being a great inventor. But my memory is worse than anyone I know. I can’t remember the lyrics to any s

I also use the ASD-STE100 trick and it works pretty great, but the places that it decides to put huge comments are really weird and a lot of the time I just ask OpenAI sol “rewrite the comments in this file without slop” and it does a much

I discovered yesterday that the “amazing thing that comes out of OpenAI” is Sol, due to its token efficiency. Dollar for tokens, Sol and Fable are the same price. However, Sol uses (literally: in testing) around 10-100x less output tokens c

Can grok be used for reverse engineering, anyone tried? A fable level intelligence would be quite useful

Has anyone figured out how to get agents to reliably rewrite an entire spec to not be a list of historical findings? Ie convert a history roll into an actual spec? I find my agents can’t figure this out. And they always do stuff like append

Yeah, also we have a lot of room we don’t care about and nobody goes there, so we just put solar panels out there.

Practical meaning I don’t plan to ever drive more than 600km per day so if it’s 600km from A->B, and then a 8 hour charge, that’s fine by me… if I want 700km I’ll stop and charge for 5 min at 30% SOC or so

But which brands last longer than a Tesla? None. That’s because faster charging wears out the battery. Charging fast is not marvellous, actually it requires a lot of self-control from the manufacturers to limit charging speed for longevity,

Having owned a Model 3 I would argue that it’s basically “done” at this point, pending software updates for better FSD. It already charges in 20-30 min at Tesla chargers and has a practical range of around 600 kms, so super fast charging is

Yeah try Sonnet 5, it has no guardrails and it can run continuously. Hook it up to IDA, or I use Ghidra, with MCP and it can autonomously search for whatever you tell it to using a text prompt. It’s way faster than doing it by hand. Only is

It’s kind of a bit ridiculous for Opus to blow up the minute I ask it to read from Ghidra, when the Chinese models, and even OpenAI, do not. Leave the legality up to me, please, and don’t presume to be a power tool vendor regulating the use

I’m an electrical engineer. I just want to explain the hazard with panels. They are DC, and the voltage is usually very high, between 300V and 600V. At this voltage you will get a burn, like touching a hot kettle, but because it is DC you w

How does unlimited context work. I thought the neurons are hard-linked to the context, so you need to retrain the models to make “infinite context”?

Yep this is an AI subversion technique for sure. Put the message to the humans in the first frame, and the message to the AI in the final frame. This is how we defeat skynet: by sending each other pictures of cats.
