Harnesses could have solved things like the bathroom remodel, maybe, but the main point about how LLMs don't understand is the key here. You can make chatgpt better at rendering 3d scenes but you can't make it think, not really. Reasoning was only ever a feedback loop.

Anyone who has worked with LLMs has experienced all the issues he talks about here, we're either optimistic and imagine they'll be fixed, or we're pessimistic and we say they are inherent to the nature of the technology and will never be fixed

Well we've already found out because Israel broke it. With Gaza they've gotten used to very flexible ceasefires where you can still bomb the other side repeatedly and the ceasefire "holds". Iran has shown that this will not work with them, and they closed the strait again

This thing will absolutely see the light of day because this is all hype toward a release.

And even if it weren't, they seem to imply that Mythos will find a way, like it's dinosaurs in Jurassic park or something

They left "obeying the law" behind a long, long time ago

Maybe another football organisation should give him a peace prize

I don't understand

Neither Biden nor Harris were sensible candidates.

I just can't fathom how you can think this. How 25% of your country can think this. How 50% thought it wasn't worth voting for either.

America has lost its marbles

Dumb question - and I'm not trying diminish the achievement here, I just genuinely don't understand:

Why would people want to spend $200 to train a coding model when there are free coding models?

I was also very confused, but after some reading I figured it out.

In an interview with NBC News from space, NASA astronaut Christina Koch described seeing the moon out the window of the Orion capsule and realizing that it looked different from what she was accustomed to on Earth.

“The darker parts just aren’t quite in the right place,” she said. “And something about you senses that is not the moon that I’m used to seeing.”

They are not on the other side of the moon seeing the full dark side, but from their position they're seeing the moon at a slight angle, meaning that SOME of what they now see is "the dark side", or the part we can never see from earth since the same side always faces us

Lots of human adults can do complex abstract thinking but when you ask them to count it's "one... two... three... five... wait I got lost".

LOL, an AI wrote this

Random citizens are at such an information disadvantage that I think it would be impossible to have an informed opinion as an outsider on the reasoning.

Are you an insider then?

Translation:

It joke. No yell at me. It kind of work?

This. We all thought Trump was a crazy accident but the fact that he almost beat Biden, and then did beat Harris, means we just can't trust Americans to put sensible people in charge. Assuming a democrat takes the office next, they will inherit an economy in tatters, a failing infrastructure and a broken strategic alliance. They'll have four years to try to fix all of that while the republicans blame them for everything they've inherited, and four years from that the American people will have largely forgotten how Trump and his minions trailed dog shit all through the house and they'll vote for the next right wing dick that's been groomed for the job - probably Pete Hegseth, or Don Jr, or Mark Wayne Mullin

We always talk about what these powerful people "have done", as if it's all over. Surely Epstein's death did not bring about the end of billionaire sex trafficking? Someone stepped in. These guys are still raping people on private planes and private islands

Why did he start the war?

The EU leadership I'm most proud of at this moment is our collective unwillingness to back up the US over the Iran war. I just wish we'd stood up to them sooner.

"Oh sure the EU is great now, but wait a few years" fox news, probably

I absolutely love this, it's beautiful. Kudos for the truly original ideas here in the UI. I love to see radial design patterns - everything is boring grids and rows and columns

This is the kind of innovation I love to see. The big AI companies days are numbered if we can have the same quality in house

I guess when it can't be tripped up by simple things like multiplying numbers, counting to 100 sequentially or counting letters in a string without writing a python program, then I might believe it.

Also no matter how many math problems it solves it still gets lost in a codebase

And most fridges do, I have a veg "crisper" and a meat drawer, and two boxes for cheese and other things.

I've read that if you can just minimise the amount of airflow in your fridge, even just by filling it with bottled water, it's more efficient as there's less air to fall out when you open the door. Boxes are essentially this

I read this back in 2009, happy to see it's still on the internet.

Obviously with today's electricity prices it would use more than $5 per year but even doubled it is extremely cheap.

My issue with the concept is space and convenience. My upright fridge is about this size but it would take up too much space in my kitchen on its side. Worse again that you can't keep anything on top because that's where the door is.

But more crucially, with a chest freezer you can only easily access the stuff on top. If something is a few levels down you have to move a lot of stuff to access it. I wish they came with shelves that cantilevered out like a toolbox, or a vertical lid on rails that lifted like a drawer

Why not just send text replies? You can already do that

I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in the antichrist, but it's hard not to see how closely he fits the bill. Only lies come out when he opens his mouth. Even if he says something true, he basically qualifies it with another untruth, and people lap it up. Even the media, even the cynical media, seem to report the things he says at face value. It boggles the mind sometimes.

Last week someone challenged him on his claim that Iran had tomahawks and they bombed their own school. First time I've heard anyone directly challenge him. His response was "I don't know enough about it" classic bs packpedal, like any kid caught in a lie. Next day CNN stories were "trump doesn't know what's happening in the war, others are running it and he's unaware", completely missing the obvious truth, he lied to misdirect people on the school bombing, one person challenged it, he lied again to backpedal.

Some days it's like he has a supernatural ability to get away with lies

You need to think about the tech support you do for your parents and decide if it would really be less by moving them to another platform, where "there's no start button" and "where did the top of the window go" and "how do I install this obscure app Ive used for twenty years"

Most of the support questions I field from my folks and in-laws are actually phone things these days. 90% of what I have to deal with is "this thing came up on my phone during the week and I clicked on it, am I hacked? No I don't remember what it said"

What about a solar sail?

There's no point taking any Mac opinion from John Gruber, he's basically just Apple PR. He can't be objective

My hand probably tires faster but my vocab is definitely better than when I started using keyboards. Maybe I'm the odd one out

I've yet to meet anyone who wants AI added to anything. If they released a version of windows+office tomorrow that was "guaranteed free of AI" it would be their top seller

600 is a bargain for a MacBook, but I can't see the public windows users switching en masse. Most people who buy cheap windows laptops do so because 1) they need to replace a broken laptop and want to pay the lowest amount possible 2) they don't want to learn some new thing

600 might seem budget, but it's out of budget for most people. And my guess is PC manufacturers will retaliate against this by cutting prices just a little to drop under that 600 price point for mid range ryzens, with more ram and space.

Any family members I've helped shop for computers only care about how much space it has, how cheap it is, and will it struggle to run things like the last one. As it sits the MacBook is more money for less gigabytes
