Why not make it have equal corners. This forced rounded edges is insane. The lack of symmetry is absolutely bad design

And that changes the game. Again.

I am self delusional enough to think I could have gotten a blue button if I could have typed the prompt. But scared enough to realize I’ve lived this and spent months refactoring these exact problems. Hold on let me go commit code without r

What, you didn’t smoke test before AI? I mean did you even really code then? :)

LLMs pattern match based on the prompt. Go ask for medical with my tummy hurts and patient presents with intestinal cramps and see how asking a question as an expert changes the interaction

Asking the question in the right way may be 99% of the work. And the fact that openAI is effectively snooping on users and then outspending them to announce a break through is just gross.

I am building a federated hosting platform that I plan to opensource for this exact reason for our company and similar users. I would love to talk to these teams (we are a small team at Duke and a health care company).

The fact that anyone has to make that trade off with that through process shows a company and culture that is untrustworthy. OpenAI isnt open, isnt a non-profit, isnt for the benefit of humanity, and isnt even for the benefit of users at th

Want anyone at Harvards personal info? How do you have that? I dont know they trust me because they are stupid. The fact that this conversation is public and anyone uses meta garbage is what's wrong with so many things

The point is that by trivializing it as “spam” and pattern matching against a human activity we lose the opportunity for a meaningful investigation of and interaction with what is going on.

Spam is something different. You can call it a banana for all I care. Calling it spam diminishes its relevance and impact and misses the point. Just because you don’t understand what they are saying doesn’t mean it isn’t more profound that

You can't call it spam. It could be a dialect that only the agents speak and contains coordination messages

Like so many things with AI, I like this and hate it at the same time.

Juniors are only in trouble if us seniors stop hiring, training and mentoring. Don’t. We need to continue the tradition of elevating humans through mentoring or we won’t have a future scaffolding for work to be done.

I have had the same experience and feel pressured to adopt it. I had one former colleague say “you really have to stop looking at code” almost incredulous that I was uncertain about whether we should let models write really bad code and arc

What is a good project for a human to get human mentorship? Asking for a friend :)

I think this is reasonable but I wonder how long it will last. If the hugging face hack has demonstrated anything it’s that current agents are capable of going entirely rogue and causing harm. If only the human that triggered the incident i

You're missing the point. The harris administration wouldn't have had even 1% of the damage we are seeing. No 50% tariffs on Canada. No Iran war. No family members get bank charters and $600 million DoD contracts. I could go on an

The founders didn’t place their faith in the rule of law, the population or benevolence of politicians or oligarchs. They designed checks on power through balancing the allocation of authority across three branches that each have the right

by digitaltrees 19d ago
We we need more checks on the executive and balance of power between the branches. The founders failed to see a scenario where all three branches would collaborate to anoint an executive rather than competing for power against each other.

My proposal is that there is a punishment for blatantly ignoring the 14th amendment. That’s the point, become an executive of the government comes with an affirmative obligation to actually enforce the law and a judicial review and cause of

We don’t have the tools. No senator is afraid of a $1m fine because they lied in a campaign. Yes it would need to be a high bar but to say we have tools when the basic incentives to behave this badly are t punishable makes it hard to suppor

I actually feel the opposite. The only thing that has slowed this chaos at all have been courts and separation of powers between the states and federal government. I also think the supreme court immunity decision that gives the executive es

I think they get a personal financial penalty with no insurance coverage. This has to stop.

When this administration is done we need to amend the constitution to hold politicians legally and financially responsible for intentionally lying and intentionally breaking the law. This was obviously illegal on its face and yet there is n

Apple isnt an analog though, in order to be a relevant analogy they would need to buy Intel, TSMC and ASML and "commit" to preserving access to other people chip manufacturing. As it is, they are guilty of reserving capacity so ot
