Writing certainly reinforces more than that when you're not just starting out. It's a poor learning tool. When you have no grasp at all of the meaning, yes, it'll only enforce the syntax you can grasp at that point. I'll

Writing reinforces. You won't learn from blind uncomprehending rewriting, sure, but when you already know the field, writing gives you the space to comprehend and digest. Certainly more than copying and pasting or blind acceptance of g

They ignored the same copyright laws in many other cases. Why do we believe they were abiding strictly by it this time?

No. The holy grail goes undiscovered for now.

Embed text in an image, a human will read it just fine. Perfectly visible but opaque to AI. It'd be obnoxious to turn it into an attack, but you can replace letters with images in phrases so that humans read "she believed" wh

If they're told to upload it as an opaque blob and only reference it by name, it may not react that way. So the attack may work, but it would also only last as long as you have billing limits left to feed it. It's not clear what w

It is, but why? And what's with the bizarre way of phrasing that? Why the bizarre observation that, indeed, nobody asked for it?

My gut says there are fewer people in that group than there are people who would've learned something who now decided learning something isn't worth the effort. A net loss.

Do these hacks make bun less secure than other runtimes? I find it a little hard to believe you can get much more robust and performant than V8 or SpiderMonkey without cutting some corners that notably went uncut by either for all these yea

Where will this slope slide next? It doesn't seem all that slippery to me. First they came for the LLMs, Lord knows plenty of people are speaking up, but who will they come for next in the dead of night after a majority of voting membe

If you were interested, check out Browsh. It's a similar project but based on Firefox and it's been around for quite some time now.

Codeberg recently changed policy to not allow primarily AI-authored projects.

My point is, these guardrails were implemented before the current admin ever intervened in Fable. They have the exact gangster mentality you describe. Many CEOs are lining up to kiss the ring, some literally offering gold bars, and we can s

What kind of metaphor? You can be a metaphorical nanny state of something smaller like a household or comment section, I suppose, but even then not with a single statement. The problem with a nanny state is the scope. And people expressing

Be nice if I could correct the specs when detected incorrectly, or check the specs of a different machine without needing to physically pull this up on each machine. Model choices all seem quite out of date. Phi-3, GPT-4o? Claude 3.5? And I

Even as an informal conclusion I think it's important to know who you're up against and what their motivations are. Waving that away is how we get people like known, obvious charlatans like RFK Jr in any sort of position of power.

I was objecting more narrowly to the notion that the driving force behind the obnoxious safeguards that are making the product useless was the current admin, rather than having been in there since launch and driven internally.

That reasoning didn't stop them from releasing this batch of models, admittedly that may be less face to lose away from the flagship position.

Weren't these obnoxious safeguards in place from Day 1, before political meddling in the most holy Free Market took place?

This statement of a lack of community is at odds with the plentiful pull requests that were open before the rewrite. This is, as you say, unprecedented. Not impossible, cautious optimism is a fine response. But to bring back a point I made

I use oMLX and I'm tentatively going to be giving this a shot. oMLX keeps driving me up a wall with odd papercuts, bugs, and silent failures and fallbacks that are only visible buried deep inside logs when they should be announced out

No, that's not correct. That is the discussion started by the article, and the one continued in many other comment threads, even including this one far further upthread. Conversations drift over time, and this thread has evolved into a

I think there's a lot of spare GPU compute. I don't think it'd be made available for this, or if it was, I believe it'd most likely be from a company that won't survive the AI bust. But I think there's a lot of

Whole classes of bugs are fixed by safe rust. This is not safe rust. As a line-by-line translation with unsafe forced anywhere necessary to make it compile, this should result in no classes of bugs fixed by moving to rust.

Bun is riddled with bugs. That's what moving fast and breaking things gets you. It gets you famously bad codebases that are nightmares to work with and slow you down over time as your sins catch up with you. Vibecoding is not enough.

You don't need to look up the entire multiplication in a single move. When we do multiplication outside of our own mental lookup tables, we have an algorithm for that. The one described in the article. You can size your lookup table ho
