Very funny. Although ironic that this whole library was built with AI.

Unless they roll-back women's rights and improvements in child mortality, societies will need to radically overhaul their entire relationship to supporting parenthood in order to reverse this trend. The economic costs of having childre

The author apparently wrote a book arguing that “near death experiences” prove there probably is an afterlife. I’m not sure he’s in any position to be lecturing anyone about delusions.

AI company leaders didn't invent this concern about the potential dangers of AI, either as a cause of economic disruption, or as a potential extinction risk. Superintelligence was published in 2014, and even then it wasn't a new t

My understand was that was in relation to IP licensing. Microsoft got access to anything OpenAI built unless they declared they had developed AGI. This new article apparently unlinks revenue sharing from technology progress, but it's u

What do you think chain of thought reasoning is doing exactly?

That’s why you need filler words that contribute little to the sentence meaning but give it a chance to compute/think. This is part of why humans do the same when speaking.

Something they don’t seem to mention in the article: Does greater model “enjoyment” of a task correspond to higher benchmark performance? E.g. if you steer it to enjoy solving difficult programming tasks, does it produce better solutions?

Anti-AI articles like this seem to be the new "Doing my part to resist big tech: Why I'm switching back from Chrome to Firefox" genre that popped up on HN for a decade or so. If it makes you feel better, great, but don't

Responsive accordions are actually solved using CSS nowadays, but plenty of other things aren't, and the web has definitely needed an API or library like this for a long, long time. So it's great that we now have it. Building some

Doesn't seem relevant here. TurboQuant isn't a domain-specific technique like the BL is talking about, it's a general optimisation for transformers that helps leverage computation more effectively.

Sure thing, here's a report from the Greater London Authority tracking the history of air quality in the city since the "Great Smog" event 1952, which caused an estimated 4000 deaths. https://www.london.gov.uk&#x2F

Which cities are you referring to? Some cities have policies that discourage gas and diesel cars, and plans to outlaw them by 2030, but I'm not aware of any that have banned them outright yet.

Would you say someone suffering from locked-in syndrome is of a different order of intelligence due to their no longer having a fully embodied experience?

And all those 5 remaining dependencies have lots of dependencies of their own. What's your point?

Don't they? I just went to crates.io and picked a random newly updated crate, which happened to be pixelfix, which fixes transparent pixels in pngs. It has six dependencies and hundreds of transient dependencies, may of which appear to

While it's a different niche, the worry for YouTube is that younger viewers generally consume a lot of short form video. They might eventually shift to watching more long form content as they get older, but if they're accustomed t

My personal astrological projection is that none of the astrologers who criticised the original study, designed the new survey, or participated in the experiment will accept the validity of its results.

I really recommend reading any of David Foster Wallace's essays about tennis. The book "String Theory" collects all his writing on the subject. He was a lifelong fan of the sport, but also a nationally ranked junior player an

Why not represent them as PlantUML or Mermaid and render to HTML/CSS? That way you get far superior layout capabilities, particularly for text, than SVG or canvas provide you.

I think there has been an understandable pushback against the trope that Tolkien's world building was too loose and idealised, but we shouldn't take things too far in the other direction and imagine him as fastidiously realist. Ye

The article I linked goes into the details, but basically a relative approach constrains your markup: The positioned thing must be a child of the relatively positioned anchor or a wrapper element, and you often cannot sensibly position it w

I think the Popover API will be really transformative when CSS Anchor Positioning[1] arrives as well. Anchor positioning will let you position elements relative to others on the page. Combined with the Popover API it will let you implement

Isomorphic Labs? That's an Alphabet owned startup run by Denis Hassabis that they created to commercialise the Alphafold work, so it's not really a 3rd party at all.

Funny to think of all those scenes in TV and movies when someone would magically "enhance" a low-resolution image to be crystal clear. At the time, nerds scoffed, but now we know they were simply using an AI to super-scale it. In
