Smart people do stupid things all the time. Especially when they are moving fast and trying new things. At least they were able to recognize their mistake and course correct.

The whole UI situation in Windows is absolutely ludicrous. Is the recommendations panel in the start menu, which nobody actually wants to begin with, really so complicated that it justifies bringing in a JS runtime? And is C# and WinUI real

Definitely agree that it’s better to have JIT in the mainline Python, but it’s not like there weren’t options if you needed higher performance before. Including simply implementing the slow parts in C, such as the high performance machine l

Are you forgetting about PyPy, which has existed for almost 2 decades at this point?

That’s quite a cynical way of looking at the world. That political belief is driven by conformance into social groups rather than an individual’s desire to seek the truth. If that’s truly what you believe, then I guess I’ve got no argument

But she’s not the one writing and editing the wiki pages. It’s open, and there are open discussions as well. What’s it matter what she thinks? Why would I ever trust an encyclopedia totally controlled by one megalomaniac over one that I mys

No, when did I say that? That’s impossible for anything of the size of Wikipedia. I was suggesting that Elon Musk, a man who has donated hundreds of millions to Trump and other Republican causes, who has numerous financial conflicts of inte

Have you ever wondered why the most educated and scholarly people in the country are left leaning? I suppose you think they were indoctrinated. But finding and teaching the truth is essentially their job. Learning how to evaluate sources an

It’s pretty telling that Elon had to have Grok rewrite Wikipedia because the truth was too woke for him. No idea how anybody can ever take Grok seriously.

Linux compatibility would be sweet, but Apple has no incentive. Hopefully this product gives other companies the kick in the pants they need to improve their hardware. Though they still haven’t been able to complete that well against the Ai

Idk, searching online gives me lots of results where people are complaining about Linux battery life when sleeping. I haven’t used a Linux laptop in over a decade personally, so can’t really speak to that much though. What I do know is that

It’s funny that this is even remotely a concern in 2026. We have computers you can talk to but Windows laptops maybe won’t go to sleep in your backpack. I do hope that it’s fixed though. I haven’t followed Windows laptops that closely, but

That’s part of why this is all so stupid. Anthropic’s red lines seem very reasonable. Feels incredibly arbitrary for the DoD to cancel the contract and declare it a supply chain risk.

Yeah, being able to switch quickly between amounts is my number one request for the iOS app right now. Logging in on the browser is a good idea though.

Yeah IDK. Wordpad is built around rich text, with all the weirdness and complexity that comes with it. I know for a fact that .rtf is absurdly complicated to work with, and I assume that .docx is similar. I’m willing to bet that adding mark

Nope it’s bleak. Try to enjoy life.

You must have a really bleak view on life to think an adult should never get excited like a child. Adult life doesn’t have to be boring drudgery, you know. I mean, it mostly is, but the rare moments of childlike joy and excitement are some

Why do I get the feeling that AI skeptics will treat it as definitive and irrefutable proof that they were right all along even though it’s one data point in an industry that’s hasn’t even been around for 5 years.

This keeps getting repeated for all kinds of model releases, but isn’t necessarily true. It’s possible to make all kinds of changes without updating the pretraining data set. You can’t judge a model’s newness based on what it knows about.

I feel like the only upside of the downvote is to act as sort of a mob moderation system, allowing offensive comments to naturally sink to the bottom. Maybe in the future, platforms can have high quality auto moderation using AI to read eve

Crazy that an honest question like this gets downvoted. I honestly think the downvote button is pretty trash for online communities. It kills diversity of thought and discussion and leaves you with an echo chamber. If you disagree with or d

They already got bailed out on the Chrome antitrust trial because the judge thought AI was going to disrupt search anyway. And of course it is, though Google may be a prime beneficiary.

You realize that science and technology does in fact produce medical breakthroughs that cure disease, right? On the other hand, prayer doesn’t heal anybody and there’s no proof of supernatural beings.

Like I said, pointless strawmanning. You’ve once again made up a claim of “two more weeks” to argue against even though it’s not something anybody here has claimed. If you feel the need to make an argument against claims that exist only in

Ok, here I am living in the real world finding these models have advanced incredibly over the past year for coding. Benchmaxxing exists, but that’s not the only data point. It’s pretty clear that models are improving quickly in many domains

You are fighting straw men here. Any further discussion would be pointless.

Who said they’re godlike today? And yes, you are probably using them wrong if you don’t find them useful or don’t see the rapid improvement.

They are using the current models to help develop even smarter models. Each generation of model can help even more for the next generation. I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that we may be only a single digit number of years away from th

Nobody claimed it was impressive. It’s a little unusual to use C instead of C++, but that’s about it.

There was a point in time when basically every well known AI researcher worked at Google. They have been at the forefront of AI research and investing heavily for longer than anybody. It’s kind of crazy that they have been slow to create re
