Maybe send this question to the Anthropic legal team. I'd be curious if you get an answer and what it'll be.

Thanks for motivating me to work a bit on non-LLM things again :)

Pretty cool. Would love for her to somehow work with the people who make the Mausritter RPG :D

Very nice. I love the "mirror shot" and the one with the two stools in the foreground. Very fair prices for the coffee :D My personal litmus test is a pourover not an americano because I usually don't go for the espresso-base

Higher level languages are still formal languages. I think there's a conceptual difference between moving from one formal language to another (machine instructions to asm or asm to C) and moving from a formal language to natural langua

As someone who also dabbles in writing fiction (unpublished) I'm less pessimistic. I keep hearing less people read and the end of long form writing is near. To me this signals a great time to write and publish because the smaller the n

The counterpoint to this comes from chess. High level engines "prove" certain lines correct (not in the mathematical sense) but those "engine lines" are really hard to explain to humans, even by GMs. They can sort of exp

This was me as well. +HCU and searchlores.org were so much fun. The coolest thing I remember was the hash-maze but I couldn't find it again. I saw Fravia live in 1999 :D Switching 0x74 to 0x75 and vise versa lead to me ordering the fre

Where does this supposed saying come from? All I hear is PostgreSQL is the database intelligent people use, Git or GTFO and I don't even know what a closed source programming language is. Apache and nginx, Linux, DNS infrastructure. In

Ok, I'm a dummy: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust "pi_agent_rust is a from-scratch Rust port of Pi Agent by Mario Zechner (made with his blessing!)." It's pi, not pi.dev

Agreed. The author in question (Linnaeus) was from Sweden and professor at a Swedish university (Uppsala). Latin was used across the board in "traditional" sciences in northern Europe at that time and in fact the distinction of di

Philosophically, pi.dev is exactly what I'm looking for. Minimalist and explicit (YOLO by default, we know it can be trouble but we tell you so). Anyone here using the Rust rewrite of pi.dev as their daily driver? It's endorsed by

Very enjoyable article. Isn't the harness basically where the frontier model companies can capture value and create a moat of sorts? I am also curious about building a harness for fun but would expect it to be more interesting in a sce

This mindset is called "death of the author" [1] and the quick summary is that the author's intent doesn't matter. Most book people I know disagree with it. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dea

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of folks at Google who wish they never published the transformer paper. This is also in line with my subjective experience as someone reading quite a few papers in the field: """The prepr

Looking at the table of contents, I see no mention of Gödel/incompleteness theorems or limitations which is not a great sign. It does look well structured though but I'd probably recommend just going with "Introduction to Log

This seems overly pessimistic to me. Of the recent shows I have watched, Andor contradicts it in my opinion. Might even be one of the best shows I have watched. Granted I rarely watch movies/TV shows these days so my random sample migh

I had the same problem, playing with the speed helped for me. Similar to meditation, I also learned to focus more on the listening. I completely agree that text is better for jumping and audio might also not be perfect for everybody. For fi

Listening to audiobooks for me is a learned skill. when I started my mind used to wander off and I couldn't tell you what I just listened to. Now for autopilot activities I'm hyper focused on the books. I have increased the speed

Depends on what you want to read. For fantasy and sci-fi fiction I really like the Youtube community. I did not expect this at all but there are a lot of great "Booktubers" in the 3-5k subscriptions range. Tiktok and Instagram hav

I do not agree with his take on audio books. I find having a book with me and reading at all times as suggested a bit impractical, however for audio books it is way more feasible. I have long-ish commutes of 5h every couple of weeks and lis

But a law degree is probably even better. I know what you mean though, consulting companies also hire the (top 1-3%) philosophy majors and math/physics majors for the same reason. Good thought processes.

I find it a bit strange to assume you can only understand these topics with a philosophy degree. My CS degree had a good chunk of philosophy baked in (philosophy of science) and parts of it strongly encouraged you to dive into philosophy. A

My anecdotal evidence from France and Germany is that there is very much a trend to look for non-U.S. alternatives which is somewhat recent. It is related to the current government, not really politically motivated but more of a "no gu

It seems a bit odd to me to have a home lab for the sequencing and then feed it to a cloud LLM. I would have thought the point of the home lab is privacy.
