Anthropic specifically calls out that example as >"illegible reasoning in a few reinforcement-learning environments over long rollout" Yet, I get the point that you're making: those tokens essentially are an internal scrat

The handle is publicly[1] tied to a South Korean security researcher, and there’s no evidence that it refers to white supremacy. [1] “CVE-2025-43347: JZ, Seo Hyun-gyu (@wh1te4ever)” https://support.apple.com/en-us/12511

Both can be true— We need to be the change we want to see. There are significant structural issues in society that present headwinds for average people trying to build a fulfilling life.

Transportation is like farming and yielding ownership of critical industries gives foreign adversaries too much leverage. I’m with you though. If humans could just get along we could build an amazing world.

Oligarchs would use the robots to kill people instead of a pandemic. A virus carries too much risk of affecting the original creators. Fortunately, robotic capability like that basically becomes the equivalent of Nuclear MAD. Unfortunately,

Do you actually need to simulate at that minuscule level of detail? Or is it possible for a system to be built that can approximate biology similar to how LLMs approximate cognition without true understanding and reasoning?

That's an extreme position to take that rests on the claim that sponsorship/advertising is objectively bad. Media & journalism have been underpinned by advertising for over a century. Tons of educational and informative servi

Can you elaborate on “properly tweaked”? When I use one of the Stable Diffusion and AUTOMATIC1111 templates on runpod.io, the results are absolutely worthless. This is using some of the popular prompts you can find on sites like prompthero

It is the only book I wish I could forget completely. Serious advice: think twice before reading The Road if you’re susceptible to doom and gloom about the human race.

Please back up the claim "climate models has a terrible track record" and qualify the word 'terrible'. Casting blame is a common denier tactic [1] used despite the models being useful and accurate [2]. The "whatabou

Based on the GIF, I thought it created an animated video. Even when the .PNG downloaded I thought for sure it’d be an animated PNG. If I’m doing some content creation, I probably already have an image editor, in which case I can create this

Magic means “hidden complexity”, AKA “abstraction”. The negative connotation is that sometimes you can’t figure out why your software is behaving a certain way and what you need to do about it. The positive connotation is that you write le

Can you elaborate on “is in no way a typical hosted ASP.NET app”? I get that the machinery under the hood is different (ie. Kestrel web server may not get used). However, we typically don’t care about those details. Our ASP.NET code runs

It’s a minor signal, but it’s still a signal. If someone only lists “Angular”, it could be Angular 4 from 2016 or something more relevant. Same thing with .NET— the version can imply Windows-related experience (.NET Framework) vs. something

The annual cadence simplifies our planning— we can preview features a year ahead and prepare for the LTS release. It also shortens the feedback cycle for Microsoft which has to be useful. From a recruiting standpoint, it allows me to start

Serverless. Running an ASP.NET app in AWS Lambda is just a few lines of code. However, all of a sudden startup time becomes important for both performance and cost. These investments by Microsoft and others[1] allow .NET to remain relevant

Can you name other development platforms of similar scale/depth that don’t have this issue? Compared to the whirring treadmill of frontend web development, I find .NET to be pretty easy to keep up with. Good IDEs (ReSharper or Rider)

Serverless hosting (ie. AWS Lambda) makes ASP.NET a primary use case for AOT because cold startup times cripple performance and increase cost. I suspect they’re just not ready yet and targeting the easy use cases (console apps).

I’m not picking on you specifically, it sounds like you do a lot of desktop .NET development and there are legitimate complaints there. However, “too invested to switch now” reminds me of .NET/C# developers that don’t embrace change an

I thought 100k HP was either too incredible or a typo. Then I looked it up: “You def don’t want electric pumps on a rocket engine! Raptor turbopumps alone need 100,000 horsepower per engine. That’s not a typo.” —Elon Musk x 32 engines. A

Lambda only has default support for the LTS releases of .NET, which is 2.1, 3.1 and the upcoming (November 2021) .NET 6. The only way to run .NET 5 in a Lambda that I know of would be custom runtimes or containers. Is that what do you mean
