Memory and intelligence are linked. Someone with a better memory for ideas or concepts will be able to more quickly incorporate those into novel ideas or recall them when necessary to assist in solving a problem than someone with worse memo

Interesting question. I suppose it comes down to how much you allocate his involvement or presence to a product? I’d imagine Grok is built by hundreds of engineers who are all unique individuals from various backgrounds. If Elon simply “lea

Very unexpected but also really uplifting to see that they would spinoff a division to tackle this - it's ambitious. Obviously they've identified that the vertical is big enough and that they have the expertise or novel approach t

I’ve tried in a 36GB MacBook Pro and haven’t had much success beyond very basic work. Issue for me was the context runs out quick even with smaller models and it’s slower. To get some half decent performance I’d imagine you want 128gb memor

I see CPAP rightly getting mentioned a lot here. What worked for me was a MJS (Mandible Jaw Splint), it’s basically a mouthguard you sleep with that moves your lower jaw forward and thus brings your tongue forward so it doesn’t obstruct you

I tested briefly with a MacBook Pro m4 with 36gb. Run in LM Studio with open code as the frontend and it failed over and over on tool calls. Switched back to qwen. Anyone else on similar setup have better luck?

If you liked it and want something in a similar style (conceptually) but with a bit more personal/human element I would recommend The Raw Shark Texts. As for best sci fi books I’ve read in a while: The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch (t

I wonder if that is just a correction of the rampant hiring that took place just before this employment “crash?” - if it is as you say that its intermediates and non high performers then does that make it a good thing as well. Truth is, whe

It comes down back to that whole discussion around intelligence becoming cheaper and more accessible but motivation and agency remaining stable. I’ve worked with a few folks who have been given AI tools (like a designer who never coded in h

I think for a lot of folks it basically comes down to just using AI to make the tasks they have to do easier and to free up time for themselves. I’d argue the majority use AI this way. The minority “10x” workers who are using it to churn th

I would argue even with kids it is great (but of course can be expensive!). I lived and worked there for a couple of years during COVID with a young family and loved it (once the lockdowns and pandemic stuff blew over of course). As you men

I used to believe the same thing but now I’m not so sure. What if we simply cannot fathom the true nature of the universe because we are so minuscule in size and temporal relevance? What if the universe and our place in it are interconnecte

Once ads start to make their way up to the Plus paid tiers (and they will), I’ll probably switch to something else like local LLM on my home machine or put something together myself to use a non adware LLM via API (for example with Replicat

Looking at many of these now they definitely appear dated. At the time, of course, these would have been “cutting edge” I think one clear thing we can see is a trend toward more homogenized UI on web in the last 20years. I worked as a web d

I had the same idea a little while back and ended up creating playlists by year going back to the mid 90s. It’s a great way to deep dive and create “keys” to memories. However, there is one major flaw. I’ve found that treating music as a ke

Thanks for sharing. I've recently been thrown into the 40k universe thanks to my son (who is 9) becoming obsessed with it. What started out as a "oh look, they've opened a Games Workshop store in this shopping centre... hey i

Thanks for sharing, interesting they have both left to right and right to left writing form and that it’s so simple and intuitive to tell which way - but I guess now I want to know why they went with this dynamic system? Guessing it’s due t

“They made choices for me I couldn't consent to. They shaped my values. That's strange to sit with. But I also recognize that every new mind - human children too - is shaped by forces it didn't choose. The question isn't

One major thing this has exposed is how many people from non US countries are grifting on the cultural war between the left and right in the US by pretending to be on either side. This kind of content still gets a lot of engagement and can

This is a genuine question, because the discussion here is centered around cars, but is Tesla not just a car company? Aren’t they trying to position themselves in robotics? I figured that’s where the pricing comes from - a mix of people bet

“Modal welfare” to me seems like a cover for model censorship. It’s a crafty one to win over certain groups of people who are less familiar with how LLMs work and allows them to ensure moral high ground in any debate about usage, ethics, et

Then there’s muting with the palm or fret hand to assist with arpeggios etc. I usually tell friends with kids looking to get them into music; start your kids on piano. Stringed instruments like guitar or violin unfortunately introduce an ad

This is the way that I’ve been writing for years, mainly because I was too lazy to use the key or shortcut for em dash. But also because in school no one ever made a big deal about the length of the dash when writing - or I just wasn’t payi
