It's marketing. The big AI companies know what they're doing and are trying to drive adoption with FOMO. Some people bought into the idea early on and feel self-important. Meanwhile, using AI is so easy that it's…

Lenovo has an incentive to say prices will never go down. They need to continue selling right now when prices are high, but customers will wait if they have reason to think they'll go lower.
Backticks ` ` are used to trigger code-style formatting in markdown. Since all the coding AIs are trained almost entirely on github, you see it everywhere in their output. They'll use it even in places where it's…
Slack uses this? Thanks for the info. I've never been forced into Slack, so I wasn't aware of that. Either way, it's stupid to use in places it doesn't induce formatting.
Yeah. It simply shouldn't be falling back to a software cursor in the first place. That's the bug.
I'm seeing lots of bots/agents misusing backticks like this. It's because people are writing agent plans in markdown and the agent thinks it's appropriate everywhere. Maybe you shouldn't be running all your comment…
You do realize that an LLM is an enormous decision tree? The prompt is the state and output tokens added to that are the subsequent state that's fed back into the machine. Running the math without deliberately adding…
He's referring to accumulator styles, eg. the 6502.
In our small town, the local compliance officer is colluding with a tree-cutting company that has a contract with the city. They lie and claim trees are "dead" and they're constantly cutting them down unnecessarily at…
We're in this situation because of laziness. I doubt doubling down on it is the solution.
Avoid the backtick quotes, too. Claude also mistakenly uses them outside of markdown.
We had less intrusive ads. Google AdSense was originally text-only and small-sized ads. What happened? It became far too lucrative to switch to the annoying ads by taking advantage of their trusting user base. Ad…
Alternatively, you could have downloaded an existing one. What you did is just a roundabout way of acquiring one of the many WASM Rust GB emulators in the training set. Except it probably now has several problems from…
There is a fallacy here in assuming there's 256 steps from 0 to 255. That's not true, there's 256 values that can be represented in 8 bits, and 255 steps (spaces between those values) from 0 (black) to (255) pure white.…
I've noticed as well. A lot of pull requests are just agents running constantly, hoping to have produced something of value. Entropy is at an all-time high, though.
Going from Opus 4.5 to 4.7 secretly required 6x more compute to run. 4.8 is apparently 30% more on top. I haven't seen any optimizations lately aside from distillation. Nobody's optimizing, they're just scaling up.
I agree. The pope seemed to take the opportunity to talk about the ethics in good faith, no pun intended. But Olah just used the association to aggrandize AI for marketing sake.
That line comes across as a wink to investors. They aspire for AI to displace human labor, as does he. Reading between the lines, it just confirms business as usual, and consequences aren't even worth thinking through.
What novel data hasn't already been used in training? What new algorithms are there? Can you post some links so we can read about them?
Unless there's a new paradigm, scaling up is all they can do to improve performance. They've shrunk down all the way to 1-bit models and all the low-hanging fruit is gone. There's no way for them to get much smaller, so…
Meta also took on an additional $100B in debt recently to push AI and fired 4000 employees. The economics just don't add up at Meta, so they're a bad example.
