I agree that de facto the biggest security flaw in Linux is "okay I'm tired of getting interrupted all day assisting you, I know you're competent, I'll put you on the sudoers list." But there are a lot of academic and…
I didn't say "3 days of full-time work," that is totally unreasonable. I was giving them basically unlimited time to do whatever slow testing and research they needed. And let me qualify my statement: when I say "I…
FWIW I think "LLMs are semideterministic" is something of a red herring. The real difference between LLM codegen and compilers is that compilers output logically the same assembly regardless of the variable names. If…
Surely the biggest difference is that you guys are mostly testing LLMs on simpler utilities, mostly involving higher-level languages, whereas ProgramBench are all very complex C programs (and much older programs with…
If I invented a machine that makes chimpanzee noises in response to input chimpanzee noise, put it in front of a chimpanzee, and watched the chimp coo and yell and screech and purr in response to the machine, I would…
"Haw haw, you couldn't tell it was written with AI!" "Oh! That explains it!" "Uh..." "I didn't want to say anything rude, but the whole time I was like 'yikes, how did this idiot become a professor at Notre Dame?'"…
This knee-jerk cynicism is badly undermined two sentences later: > Researchers say that climate models may need to be updated to account for the warming effect of plastic, but the new study is far from conclusive. So…
Darkly funny that Armstrong's Twitter bio still reads "Creating more economic freedom in the world" when he has relegated humans to "the edge" of his own organization in favor of the pseudointelligent pseudogod. Freedom…
But there would be no basis to claim this trademark was abandoned (even before Don Ho responded to infringement). Notepad++ is famous software actively getting new features and new releases. It is well-known among…
This is both unethical and completely useless at the (supposed) goal of "show[ing] the current capabilities of AI." What a completely garbage case study! And what a dishonest writeup: We see that frontier models are…
That's not what I said, I said the blog post was false because the author thoughtlessly digested a YouTube video. It looks like the blog invented some details that weren't actually in the video.
The nice thing about books vs. YouTube is that it's much easier to critically interrogate books while you're reading them. That was the difference with my dad: he thought about what he read. He repeats what he listens…
The point is that it doesn't really make sense to say they're "seeing" anything. You said So… are the neurons on that chip seeing? We all desperately want to say no. But I can confidently say "no, that's totally…
An underappreciated source of nonsense in 21st century discourse is people watching YouTube instead of reading things. It doesn't appear this author read anything, preferring to be spooked and misled by a YouTube video.…
I sincerely laughed out loud when I saw the screenshot of the "Artificial Life Cognitive Platform": Cognitive Stack System 3 - Long Term Drives I love being petted. System 2 - Emotionally-Aware Reasoning Goal: Receive…
That's not what this article is about. It's really about algorithmic social media. There is one short paragraph near the end that mentions AI: "AI did not kill the Internet; it inherited an Internet with the fun already…
This particular case was extremely unsympathetic, but a critical part of the failure was people being too credulous about the claims of AI providers. They are still refusing to take adequate responsibility for AI…
I refuse to use LLMs and don't have a job, so I'm just some guy. What I find strange about this is that in 2020 nobody would be this openly cynical and selfish about, say, good Python idioms, a useful emacs…
It's not about "low performers / sick people," it's unemployment itself (especially sudden layoffs) making people more susceptible to substance abuse, regardless of their health when they're unemployed.
It's 48 pages and I haven't read it fully, but it seems almost childlike that the paper doesn't address the obvious confounding variable: "Does Unemployment Make It More Likely for Late Middle-Aged People, Particularly…
Hmm I already found a typo in one of the solutions. I believe this scraped from a bunch of PDFs in an unaudited automated process, so of course there are going to be some problems. But a) It doesn't bode well that I…
Nobody else has pointed this out, but a MacOS port of Notepad++ actually goes against some of the branding. Notepad++ very much markets itself as a lightweight and speedy thing that uses the low-level Win32 API…
You know, what's frustrating is that when I first contemptuously dismissed "Notepad++ for MacOS" as a trademark violation I did skim that stuff and accordingly just sort of assumed the port was technically legitimate,…
"Enforce" yes but the point is that this fork clearly violates broader principles and conventions around respecting clearly active trademarks. Nobody is demanding a lawsuit in French court or any particular legal…
To be clear in the GitHub thread Don Ho repeatedly encouraged him to do this, and said it was cool that he was trying to bring Notepad++ to Mac! Just don't make it look like Don Ho and the rest of the team is…
