Yeah, it’s hard to believe, specially when you are coding and there’s only one best way to do things, unless it plays with variable naming, or comments

From the little i understand that wouldnt be an issue because the model is ‘just’ using interchangeable words in a mathematical non-random way. Like using the same number of adjectives and the exct same words, but in a order that wouldn’t b

Well, you do get 1 million tokens and the ability to reason over video natively and many of us are forced to pay for 20usd plan anyway due to google drive 5TB, not to mention notebooklm, so it’s not a nothing burguer, it’s just an almost no

A great thing about codex is that, even if run out of usage, it finishes the task. Claude code will abruptly break the work and leave it there unfinished as soon as it runs out of tokens. Also, antrophic randomly resets the token usage whic

It may sound crazy, but a properly installed pull up bar on your room doorway is a fun way to apply Pavel Tsatsouline ‘grease the groove’ principle. And it’s both easy and fun. You can do pull ups, and train your abdomen several times a day

It even refuses to do numerical time-series analysis (this on an empty project). This is something even a non-llm ML algorithm can do. It’s insane

When my mother was fighting cancer, I recall the many disappointments of finding research shrinking tumours in animal models, only to find out the human research showing it didnt work in humans. This was in the 2010s, before llms, but when

I don't work in coding, but I do a lot of complex tasks that can be automated to some extent. In 2019 I spent more than a month painstakingly building an autohotkey script that would interact with a design app to build a Chinese langua

There’s an hypothesis that states we dream so we don’t lose visual processing neural connections. Similar to what happens in blind people: visual processing neurons are recruited to other sensory tasks due to lack of stimulation. My ed. gue
