I was expecting some sort of fungal network with measurable compute on initial glance. Then the article image couldn't help but look quite like the outline of an Earthbound entity.

Genuinely curious- what would the cross platform compatibility help with? Ease of migration? I don't remember configuring many win programs with notation like such, just the PATH

Lacking Copyright (or similarily a Public Domain declaration by a human), we don't receive sufficient rights grants which would permit us to include it into the aggregate body of source code, without that aggregate body becoming less free than it is now.

Thats awesome lmao

You may want to look into Karabiner Elements. Understandable if one doesn't want to have to allow a privileged daemon access to key inputs, but it allows for complex, application-focus-aware shortcuts. In the past I used a "Windows on MacOS" config preset because it allowed for my 60~70 key keyboard to operate similarly across win/linux/macos. Finally killed my last windows boot drive and main linux... but I do have a ritualistic annual step into a windows vm to file taxes on crack err with a crakced turbotax hehehe. In-tooits lobbying malpractice is deserving of petty flippancy

I'm only a little weirded out when they're right next to me stopped at a light and that thang is spinnin and making note of me

Waymo Safety Impact 4 months ago

I've been observing their behavior in Atlanta for about the past year. Our roads here are fairly curvy, hilly, and lacking of expected markings, yet I haven't seen a driverless Waymo vehicle make a single odd move. One thing that brought a smile to my face was when I came to a 4-way stop at the same time as a Waymo vehicle at night & I flash my brights to tell the other vehicle to go ahead (southern hospitality) and I see the Waymo immediately begin its course through the intersection. I was so jolted that I began to tail it in order to pull up next to it to see if there was a human behind the wheel. Watching it drive down this slowly descending hilly road with intermittent speed humps and cars parked alongside the main right lane gave me a close up view of its slightly curving trajectory and braking behavior with regard to the humps. My thought on human or not was inconclusive until we reached a red light, and as I shot my eyes over and saw an empty driver seat, I smiled widely knowing that the software responds to brights flashed at 4-way stops (please don't tell me it doesn't and it just saw me indecisively not initiate at the stop). Thanks for reading

This is most likely an inference serving problem in terms of capacity and latency given that Opus X and the latest GPT models available in the API have always responded quickly and slowly, respectively

I wonder what incentives for adherence to the use of this meta-tag might exist? For example, imagine I send you my digital resume and it has an AI-generated footer tag on display? Maybe a bad example- I like the idea of this in general, but my mind wanders to the fact that large entities completely ignored the wishes of robots.txt when collecting the internet's text for their training corpuses

I have been using gpt-5 through the API a bit recently, and I somewhat felt this response behavior, but it's definitely confirming to hear this from another. It's much more willing (vs gpt-4*) to tell me im a stupid piece of shxt and to not do what im asking of the initial prompt

I would challenge the utility of this mental model as again they're not simply tracing a "most likely" path unless your sampling methods are trivially greedy. I don't know of a better way to model it, and I promise I'm not trying to be anal here

i'd wager your benchmark problems require cumbersome arithmetic or are poorly worded / inadequately described. or, you're mislabeling them as basic math and logic (a domain within which LLMs have proven their strengths!)

i only call this out because you're selling it and don't hypothesize* on why they fail your simple problems. i suppose an easily aced bench wouldn't be very marketable

Yet theyre fantastic personal tutors / assistants who can provide a deeply needed 1:1 learning interface for less privileged individuals. I emphasize 'can'. Not saying kids should have them by their side in their current rough around the edges and mediocre intelligent forms. Many will get burned as you describe, but it should be a lesson to curate information from multiple sources and practice applying reasoning skills!
