Y combinator helped people notice it when they invested in a company called Automatic https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/automatic However now that it's been acquired that reminder of Automattic not being named

It would have been just a matter of time before he displayed his power with the nonprofit and wordpress.com which he controls personally, independently of the Automattic board. Maybe that is part of why the board gave him his control of Aut

If you replaced it with Zig, the situation changes.

Wow, that's amazing. I was about to tell it to make the helmet similar to the human one, with the gold visor, but thought it wouldn't convey it as well, but not only is it obvious, it still has the feeling of being a horse.

To me it sounds like they are simply taking social moon shots. They tried to do a phone, tried to make a kitchen videophone, tried to make their own cryptocurrency, and tried to dominate open source AI, and now this is trying to make someth

Earlier today I couldn't get ChatGPT to draw a horse on the moon. Idea taken from Stable Diffusion's wikipedia page. I tried three times with that prompt, "a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse" and again with a ho

It isn't really the go-to compression format, because it isn't ubiquitous like gzip and zip, there are a variety of compression tools out there for different purposes, and there is image/audio/video compression. There is

Not really, it's a popular dictionary-based compression format.

That isn't part of the language though. That's just input that it doesn't handle properly. The author acknowledged it lacks error handling.

Indeed, for some code, CPython and this interpreter produce identical output. I gave it an upboat.

I like python subset . However, many don't see it that way.

The rate at which the value accumulates depends on release of new models and admittedly it's a small community, so you may be in for a wait! But I still mean it, it is a small but enduring stream.

Hmm, the face makes it not work as a one shot artifact.

It's actually not just valuable, but infinitely valuable. Because it's imaginary, there is no way to do it perfectly, and thus the possibilities are endless, and it tests out both the formulation and execution of ideas.

It makes the premise of the entire site flawed, though. And it defeats the purpose of the convenient button provided to redraw a year. That is what should allow you to find a pick that might be more interesting, rather than messing up the

Not really. Whether you agree with LeCun's assertion that "LLMs Are a Dead End" or not, world modeling is the same domain. "World Modeling" in this post is confusing because it seems to reference the deep, specific

Indeed, but that likely wouldn't have stopped someone from submitting it with a misleading title. HN is known to get a lot of misleading titles submitted and to have to change them. The <title> tag is better, it doesn't say

by benatkin 15d ago
The HN title makes it sound like Toothbrush is their brand, and with the appropriation of common terms for the sake of the brand, I bought it. I would be disinclined to use it. It reminds me of the Astral Codex Ten Article about the Midjoun

It's deliberately hostile, in the way that Facebook is to its userbase. I guess Claude doesn't have nearly the grip on their users that Facebook does. Facebook can make it hard to communicate with (via WhatsApp) or stay connected

Indeed, the disclaiming of it being human-coded isn't the problem with their commit messages, them using it as a growth hack mechanism is. BTW to say it's attributed to Claude, I don't give that much importance, but I think i

For a good chunk of my AI coding work, I make my own commits. I add Assisited-by: to them. I glance at the AI commit messages, and though I usually come up with my own messages sometimes I paraphrase. This would just make it a bit more anno

It's interesting because Anthropic chose to put it on their Claude blog.

Seems to be, but I find it hard to believe. It's like if Five Below had announced they came out with a better forklift than Toyota.

It's going to be tough for Origin, their code hosting platform, to follow in the footsteps of GitHub, if they can't be treated as a neutral party.

This reminds me of a provocative YouTube video title I read the other day, one that makes me want to fight factory farming injustices. The title is "Animals to me are "Philosophical Zombies" - Destiny" https:/&#x2F
