Can't the aliases be renamed? --- Just checked, they can. Phew. If the forwarding alias was detectable/always used the same schema, that'd also make them borderline useless, just like the `privaterelay` subdomain

java the language is amazing the problem with it is entirely cultural. why is `IStatusChangeEntityCreationManagerFactory` everywhere? and why are the frameworks so huge and all encompassing? i think batteries included rails-style frameworks

models are hungry for a more information-dense language for now all they've got is english, so they'll just bend that into shape. it'll do.

i think its a combination of these: - OAIs models are much more token efficient. in some cases their new mythos-level model uses 1/4th of the tokens that mythos does. - they reportedly have recently found another way to decrease comput

But those hacks and exploits have always existed. Just had to have the right people to find them / be sufficiently motivated. The same models that can find these exploits can also help fix them, thus everyone will be better off. Relyin

this is basically trying to enforce security-by-obscurity, which is a terrible idea all around. it's just a model. the security issues still exist and are exploitable. and after staking the economy on AI, you can't really put a ca

If you asked the same selection of people about Saudi Aramco or SK Hynix none of them would know what those are either though, right? I do think 60B for Cursor is way overvalued. Just not sure how to quantify

They use intercom's Fin AI. Probably powered by a Sonnet or Opus model. That said, it can't handle legal/refund/complicated requests and just forwards to a human for those

Unrelated, but while the tech of anthropic seems to get more impressive with every passing month, their support has taken a nosedive, sadly. Yet they continue to be the favorite. Model performance is deciding above all else. I used to get a

> During early testing, Stripe reported that Fable 5, [...] in a 50-million-line Ruby codebase, the model performed a codebase-wide migration in a day that would otherwise have taken a whole team over two months by hand. EDIT: I misread.

Probably. It just feels so out of character. Especially the fact that it can't be safeguarded and generate sexual innuendos, for example, which Apple usually hates . I'm not even entirely against genmoji. It's just odd for A

i dont agree at all. image generation feels very odd for Apple. and usually they don't care about glaring omissions like this, either: iPadOS was lacking a calculator for yeeeeaaaars. they repeatedly said they'd ship a calculator

that's the most common criticism. can't say i disagree. though monopolistic practices are unequivocally bad and used to get struck down. one may argue this is just another instance of disallowing monopolistic behavior. the DOJ use

i would say that that also doesn't change the essence of the moment displayed in the image, unless the image itself is about planes/projection/...

absolutely agree. but Apple isn't known to make grand promises and then not keep them, is it..? usually they just deliver what they say they will yet i've been reading about "well they promised AI Siri two years ago and Siri

by merlindru 3mo ago
thats exactly what i'm saying they should be doing, but aren't. we're in agreement!! why don't they just wait and not ship any AI junk at all? instead of promising a Siri AI rework, which then doesn't deliver? or Im

cropping doesn't alter the moment captured. or, rather, you're also cropping when taking a picture - no camera can capture all 360 degrees. so what is being captured is altered from the get. yet i don't think you'd argue

the EU feels like this falls under monopolistic practices, which it has deemed illegal. the buck stops with the politicians - there's no reason other than "the EU thinks it's bad for the economy and should thus not be allowed

what's worrisome is that they continue to fail at it. it's one thing to say "we're still hashing things out". it's another to parade around Image Generation features that are obviously widely not-cared-for and
