It is. And the reason for that is* surprising: the base knowledge corpus is clickbait internet articles. *not at all

A lot of people seem to be the Antichrist these days. I’d have though we’d get a lull after the millennium but it’s all the rage.

You’ve just described why people have a phone.

Not something I have strong opinions on, but probably something by Garmin. (Remember them? They’re still around and shockingly successful.) Check whether any device you’re looking at requires a subscription.

The problem is, health is easily the biggest thing in wearables. The problem for Apple is their health stuff isn’t up to snuff with their competitors.

Yes, but is it a load-bearing seam?

Whilst the objections you raise are valid, in the face of the country being destroyed if you don’t, the equation’s rather different. What does it matter if China is dominant if you’re better off living in the US?

I don’t think the post claims magical abilities. Just that most things are already crackable given public knowledge and LLMs can exploit those. Worse, that the rate at which we update security issues is too slow to keep up with “knowing abo

Problem with that is so few of them are repairable these days. Laptops just kind of fall apart over time.

Counterpoint: I basically get all of my jobs on there. Switching on the available for work sign is more effective than the bat signal. I work in a relatively niche and extremely demanding industry, which may contribute.

There’s a very simple reason that artists don’t worry about selling out anymore (a phenomenon that was much more widespread than just the early 90s): the music industry finally finished their project of extracting nearly all of the money. T

I think you're trying to uninvent tort law here.

Imagine your dog had a dog trainer and you didn’t know the dog had been trained to bite under those circumstances. You might have a case against the trainer.

I presume the chess image in the piece is AI generated because it makes no sense if you’re even vaguely familiar with the source material.

Such a frustrating game. Feels so big but it’s so insanely shallow. Mechanics abound, but they just don’t interact.

Absolutely hugged to death.

The elephant in the room here is that there are no FLOSS LLMs. Renders most of the rest of this argument moot.

Always interesting to answer the question of who benefits from certain policies.

I'm particularly fond of "load-bearing seam", which it loves to use. It rather hilariously fails the "draw the metaphor" test.

So can you write GPL content using Claude? MIT? Because if this condition applies to the output, I don't see how it's compatible with FOSS.

I feel like we’re in a weird P=NP age, where after someone finds an issue, someone points out a cheaper way to find the same issue, which inevitably involves knowing the issue is there in the first place and it’s approximate location.

It’s easy to forget now that Netflix Original used to be a marker of quality. Losing Holland was an unforced error.

Of those, the weakest points for Haskell and the MLs is the platform and documentation. However, I don’t know if we can call this solved just yet. We may need to invent whole new types of guardrail.

Yeah, I’m not convinced that there are any models as smart as Fable. Opus 5 definitely isn’t for all it has great benchmark scores. Fable displays judgement in a way I haven’t seen from any other model.

The authors make some good points: compile time and test speed matter, platforms matter. But they really dodge the whole “guardrails matter” thing. And guardrails are going to win long term. As for readability, the fact that AI-written Go c

The truth is all frontier models are closed. This isn't even an open source vs open weights thing. Even if you accepted that open weights are "open" the capital requirements for running your own Kimi 3 model are significant.

The real truth is that's how Edison used them and they've been the primary use of patents since inception.

Only in the rather reductive sense of “the vast majority of gamers are into other genres now”.

Of course I, and most of the dads I know, optimise for something else: what’s the car that will keep me competitive, but probably losing, to the kids?

Not all of them. The ones on ridiculously restrictive visas had to stay.
