Composer 2.5 stands out here at nr. 9. This model is fast and clever.

I would also regret it if they become that fast; right now I can really take a moment to enjoy the hard work the model is doing for me.

Michael Levin has a lot of new ideas.

The idea that there is much more computation (and intelligence/agency) going on in biological and other systems seems to be getting more popular. (The author writes: The whole body is a computer: it’d be wasteful for evolution to only use the brain for computation when other systems could take part too.). Michael Levin has some super interesting ideas about this.

I first thought the spinning was an optical illusion, like https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/how-our-b.... But in this case the spinning is real and you don’t see the rotation except in a small area (your fovea).

I think the difference now is that traditional software ultimately comes down to a long series of if/then statements (also the old AI's like Wolfram), whereas the new AI (mainly LLM's) have a fundamentally different approach.

I'm using the smaller models for things like searching and summarizing over a larger part of the codebase. The speed is really pleasant then.

Is there a distinction made between business customers and consumers? (B2B/B2C)

I guess I mean that we are awake experience the input from our senses, and that in a dream only the replication of the experience of seeing or hearing etc. is needed, not a replication of the input of the senses which then leads to the experience.

Your brain does not need to render any environments, just the experience of being in them.

When images of Mars are shown on social media, there always is a flood of 'Devon island, Canada' comments, so depressing!

The removal is only temporary.

Hi Preet, I think this is looking great, and a lot of features are present already. Two things to consider: I think your pricing is too low to be taken seriously by a lot of organizations; also, with a one-time payment support is an issue.

Second, to have a selling point, you might want to focus on privacy. Is the data shared in any way? Where is it kept? What measures have you taken to keep data safe? Will it be deleted if I cancel my account? That sort of things.

Anyway, good luck and keep on going!

I've been programming for 40 years and have started using LLM's a few months ago, and it has really changed the way I work. I let it write pieces of code (pasting error messages from logs mostly result in a fix in less then a minute), but also brainstorming about architecture or new solutions. Of course I check the code it writes, but I'm still almost daily amazed at the intelligence and accuracy. (Very much unlike crypto).

Who remembers Steve Gibson's 'little corner of the web'? He wrote super small Windows applications in assembly: https://www.grc.com/smgassembly.htm

It it false but I would not blame the parent; the ISP blocked page is unclear and suggests the block is linked to Russia.

Yeah, if I understand correctly AI will create it's own internal reasoning language through RL. In R1-Zero it was already a strange mix of languages. They corrected that for R1 to make the thinking useful for humans.

I think here it is bearable because the page is more like a presentation. The worst is when nothing special happens, and you only notice scrolling is off.

We are using Helpscout wich is very nice over all. The also do not send the weirdly formatted ticket email, with 'respond above this line' etc.

Did you find out what the error was in computing the volume of the truncated icosidodecahedron?

The attackers are demanding only $500,000 as a ransom payment, that's cheap!

Technically it is, of course, but the experience is completely different, and I get the feeling people call it that to downplay it.

I always think people calling AI just ‘fancy autocomplete‘ haven’t really tried it yet.

This is a nice daily newsletter with AI news: https://tldr.tech/ai

I guess they must have put some time in Sora?

Amounts are written like this: $1,102,684,1B. Shouldn't the last comma be a period?

I wanted to use a MacOS VM with Parallels for development. It is very easy to install and runs fast, but it's impossible to sign in with an Apple ID, which severely limits its use.

I'm using Chrome on a fast mac but the animations still had hickups.

That is true, but cities themselves are very slow to regulate (and prevent) this.

Wouldn't web scraping be possible by taking screenshots of the rendered pages and then reading them with OCR?
