There has stopped being a formal procedural consequence for OpenAI leaders to declaring AGI, there is a clear (small) business benefit to doing so, and the capabilities of all the frontier models are impressive. So why not declare AGI? It&#

It seems to support USB4 with what they call "stock firmware". They haven't clarified what that means, but my assumption has been that it's a binary blob made by the manufacturer of their microcontroller that doesn'

It feels apparent to me that LLMs don't do what is colloquially thought of as thinking. What is less apparent is that humans do .

Seems like they are closer to scratch than reasoning... Generating some scratch to draw from helps make it easier to compute the real answer.

Hrm, but the insistence is more "NAT should not be a practical requirement in a pure IPv6 network", not "No NAT ever for any reason". NAT-based compatibility strategies are widely deployed in the real world (most cell ca

IPv8 is just a reactionary response to IPv6 not being "IPv4 with larger addresses" like people who know IPv4 well would prefer. There would be no reason to adopt it if IPv6 were adopted.

That's not a fix. A fix would be undoing the change and making it opt-in.

Marketing types have started subbing in "Operating System" for "Platform" lately. And, because it feels bold and fresh to them, they often name whole product an "OS" when they do this in order to make anyone wh

Yup. Adopting a month-old Postgres release is quite aggressive. It's much more prudent to start considering adoption after it's had six to twelve months of battle testing. Adopting a month-old AI model version for new development

That's another problem Google have: they won't stand behind their products until they are outdated. That can work in the B2C space but it's horrible in B2B.

It frankly doesn't matter how much human effort went into finding the vulnerability, it just matters if it exists, how severe it is, and how easy it is to exploit.

It sure is suspicious that both Anthropic (adaptive thinking) and OpenAI (Avoid generic brevity instructions) both seem to be suggesting that the best way to improve outcomes is to entirely leave it to them to decide how many tokens get u

The backfiring is baked in, if you think about it: This program is going to die in just a few days, while Sony is going to continue selling physical games for years.

While the gist of what you say is true, it is hard to get very good at treating them as instruments when they keep getting replaced with new, ostensibly-better versions every few months. But those new versions are not strictly better. They

I believe this is an attempt to try out a possible answer to the problem of "If AI makes it non-viable for individual companies to pay junior devs, there will be no junior devs". The posited theory: Maybe the AI companies pay them

In the age of AI, perhaps it will be more common to see major forks of open-source projects emerge, with the upstream back-porting a few of the larger features themselves because they're impressed at what the fork is able to do, as opp

| Technically, once a model is initialised, that's it. That is a model. If released, that would be, even for the most pedantic absolutists, undoubtably open source. That is true. But it is not the same model as the LLM created by com

I know it comes off as pedantic to point this out but: Those are open weight models not open source models. Closed weight models are the equivalent of SaaS. Open weight models are the equivalent of binary driver blobs or Windows software. W

Models not being able to reliably know if they are out of their depth is a foundational limitation of the currently generation of models, though. Best they can do is to somewhat reliably react to objective signals that they've failed a
