I would be more excited if it wasn't $200 a month to try. I don't feel like OpenAI does a good job of getting me excited either. Find the perfect snowboard? How can that idea get pitched and make the final cut for a $200 a month s

I think sports betting is obnoxious and stupid but I do worry about this moral policing some seem to want to do. The people I know losing money to online sports betting are the same people who thought they were going to become pro online po

I grew up playing American football and I am pretty well versed on the literature. I live for now and don't put a lot of stock in having a great life after 65. In American football, much depends on the position you played. I am not sur

Sapolsky's book Determined is really the counter to your post. I don't want to believe what that book says but it is quite a strong argument. It is really too sweeping and complicated to discuss in this format though. It really wo

It would be better to have a photographic memory and not need to repeat anything. You are 100% right but have absolutely no point.

Just a completely absurd statement unless by "empowerment" you mean famine, starvation and early death. Empowerment as 30% infant mortality rate. Empowering life long marriage since a person would get married and be dead in 10-15

I feel like at this point we have to separate LLMs and reasoning models too. I can see the argument against chatGPT4 reasoning. The reasoning models though I think get into some confusing language but I don't know what else you would c

It is also through the exchange rates. USD to CAD has front ran a lot of this already. 1.45 is crazy. The idea Canada can so easily re-route trade is absurd. Especially when the trade is going to be settled in USD. I have been trying to und

I always hated Perl. This library does sound interesting and maybe Perl would be less painful for me now with a language model. The article is great right until it gets into the perl code. My brain just turns off and my eyes want to cross.

That is surprising, I don't even remember having to look up that much to use the Anki UI. I make cards on a linux desktop and sync to ankidroid. Really one of my all time favorite pieces of software. I would have given anything to have

I think it is both and this is very obvious if you read Pareto and Sapolsky.

It is more than just success too. Most behavior we believe is some kind of rational action when it is really blind actions based on fiction or just completely random with rationalizations for the behavior after the fact.

The figures I have seen in a trade war with Canada is Canada causes a -.2% hit to US GDP while Canada gets a -2% hit. That is not going to work for Canada. These aren't abuses of power though. We just largely got use to the president n

I don't really understand what the end game is with Canada here. For Mexico, it seems more like a prod for social policy on immigration and fentanyl. I listened to Trudeau yesterday and he isn't even able to get a hold of Trump ri

People are stupid. What is censorship to a puritan? It is a moral good. As an American, I have put a lot of time into trying to understand Chinese culture. I can't connect more with the Confucian ideals of learning as a moral good. The

It is especially absurd though when you have a business that depends on ROADS. As if the roads just pay for themselves.

It is all the genius really of Duchamp's Fountain from 1917. At this point the conversation is just boring.

It is still curious though as far as what is actually being automated? I find huge value in these models as an augmentation of my intelligence and as a kind of cybernetic partner. I can't think of anything that can actually be automate

It is a nuanced point but what is better, a sedan or a truck? I think we are still at that stage of the conversation so it doesn't make much sense. I do think it is a good metaphor for how all this shakes out though in time.

I had resubscribed to use o1 2 weeks ago and haven't even logged in this week because of R1. One thing I notice that is huge is being able to see the chain of thought lets me see when my prompt was lacking and the model is a bit confus

I don't even mind an exclusive community but the idea of begging for an invite is against my very nature.

I think you are confusing pricing and valuation. Anything can be priced and the price can be modeled. Crypto valuation is what doesn't make sense because it is not a cash producing asset. I don't know though if the price of crypto

Not trying to be ironic but it would be interesting to see what this below would look like in the strange mix form: "If the model's actions involve generating tokens (like in language models), then optimizing these token outputs t

There is no way this is true. It is just an example of why Reddit is a fucking joke that you should never read. I have seen it infer incredibly obscure things in the chain of thought that I was impressed it could piece together. It is an in

Because all this with the stock price has nothing to do with reality. Everyone just starts repeating the same things until people believe them as fact. The "sell off" was basically nothing. Who cares that the NVDA went back to the

This is it. I was planning on spending the $200 for a month but had been thinking of prompts to try it out. DeepSeek already answered them all for free so I am not just going to light $200 on fire for fun.

It isn't really hype for me. For my use, it is better than $20 a month o1 and being able to see the chain of thought is absolutely incredible. I have learned as much this week from seeing the chain of thought as I have from what it act

Or as if people use to work 12 hours in a coal mine and have all this energy for dancing and piano practice after. Modern people are just spoiled and largely delusional. I had a bad work day yesterday but compared to anything else I would h

I think it is even worse than this. The only way this would work is to create a kind of great firewall of America keeping open source Chinese models out while the remainder of the globe uses something like DeepSeek. It would literally be th

We are in a state of denial. If AI is the new electricity this idea the US is going to monopolize electricity is just dumb. David Sacks I am sure has many bad bets right now so has to talk his book.
