Flash => HTML5 was a travesty for creative little games on the web. It never recovered. Even today the authoring tools are crap for the average person with an idea, if you ignore AI vibe coding for a minute, which overcomes the tooling d

Hear me out: if they actually worry so much about the hypothetical of AI mass killing, maybe they should first do something concrete about the reality that their models are deployed right now to kill people in a certain war-torn region

Whether it’s intentional requires a legal investigation to establish. Since when is “hey we didn’t mean it!” in a corporate press release enough to establish lack of intent in a criminal matter?

It's pretty damn obvious to anyone who ever bothered to look at rtk gain output, no benchmark needed at all. Agent runs rtk command-that-prints-100k-tokens | tail -5 costs 5 lines, maybe 100 tokens without rtk, but rtk will repo

These are utter bullshit that breaks every norm, but may be convincing enough for some non-academic OpenAI cheerleaders who post dozens of comments on these topics.

It’s quite amazing that in a support doc for normies, they’re literally linking to https://developers.yoti.com/identity-verification/supported-... for supported IDs which opens with GET https://api.yoti.c

No, they asked one guy to do a joint publish conditioned on leaving the other collaborator out, with veiled threats. The joint publish part smells awfully like admission of guilt given there’s absolutely no reason to do it if you believe yo

This "quadratic-time performance" is incredibly disingenuous. First, it's doing n operations that are each O(n), so it's more like "can have linear time performance, but done n times so I can give you a scary title&

prestigious.edu isn’t Stanford; went to a different school for PhD. And the prison bit is just something funny about Jane Street (that sort of vindicates my view of these people) that I edited in later, didn’t think much about it.
