They are most certainly not. It suffers from the nude beach paradox: Anyone who wants you to see them naked, is not someone you want to see naked.
I will say the more recent additions to C++ at least have solved many of my long standing issues with that C-variant. Most of it was stuff that was long overdue. Like string formatting or a thread safe println. But even…
Considering DOGE is ~100 people and the American labor force is 168 million, in your example, I would be willing to expend 0.000000675% of my time and energy to save 14 cents. That’s the difference between saying keep…
I keep harping on this - but two points: 1) Our debt is above GDP and interest is rising faster than GDP growth. Debt is fine when being used as leverage but we are upside down at the moment. 2) We don’t have the…
A lot of people are talking about tool use and writing internal scripts, and yeah, that’s kind of an answer. Really though I think the author is highlighting that LLMs are not being used efficiently at the present…
You could also consider using the Common Crawl dataset provided by Amazon. Archive.org is more or less a wrapper around it anyways. https://registry.opendata.aws/commoncrawl/
SpaceX and by extension Starship are critical for the entire western space industry. Last year SpaceX was responsible for something like 90% of the stuff sent up. Then China and then Russia. There is simply no one else…
Guys, I’m gonna stop this before it gets out of hand: All we need is love and a shit ton of compute. Everything else is just details.
So it’s funny you mention that. I actually think Marx made a fantastic critique of capitalism. He kind of nailed the inherent flaws within the system. I compare his solutions to someone predicting that every desk would…
I don’t think mass adoption is their goal. They had a problem. They solved that problem. They shared how they solved said problem. Every engineering company releases stuff like this. It’s not meant to change the world.…
We’ve been here before: you can’t punish someone into being your consumer. Someone who wants your product at the price you offer it will ultimately pay for it. Short sighted business decisions ultimately hurt the…
This reminds me of a conversation I was having recently about genetically engineering humans. I think people are greatly underestimating the complexity of the human body and it’s nature mechanisms of adaptation.…
The odds are getting higher by the day. There is a lot happening in the world with China’s economic blessing. American sanctions don’t work when China manufactures everything.

There US Army generally has one tourniquet that it’s deemed best. The CAT by North American rescue. Every Soldier is awash in these things. They hand them out like candy on Halloween. And rightly so. But the Government…
I want to double tap this point. In my experience Claude out performs GPT-4o, Llama 3.1 and Gemma 1.5 significantly. I have accounts for all three and will generally try to branch out to test them with each new update.…
Look, I am not going to install it on my machine and I think a business would be insane to allow it on their servers, but I can also recognize that I am not exactly their market. If I want 10% more performance I can…
While we have started seeing diminishing returns on rote data ingestion, especially with synthetic data leading to collapse, there is plenty of other work being done to suggest that the field will continue to thrive.…
And that’s honestly a fair critique. I think Elon is definitely an optimist in his technological ambitions. The whole naming of the drive assistance features from Tesla is kind of convoluted and confusing. I think…
You are confusing a claim - specifically that “Teslas are dangerous” or “FSD is dangerous” with a much broader reality; that all Cars are dangerous. You assert that 3 people died this week due to Tesla related…
Is it the superstars or the line holders that have been the first adopters? I could speculate, but I am actually curious what you are seeing in practice.
Roko would be proud of you. I welcome our new electric masters.
Exactly what you demonstrated. ‘Meeting Friday’ was the message. You completely ignored the rest. It was just extra padding (intentionally so). Maybe 2 words is too short. But can you honestly tell me that the majority…
Soon AI will turn a chickenscrath of notes into a wonderful email. And then turn it back automatically for the end reader. We put to much emphasis on the look rather than the substance. People are afraid to send out an…
The nomenclature for microchip manufacturing left reality a couple generations ago. Intel’s 14A process is not a true 14A half-pitch. It’s kind of like how they started naming CPUs off “performance equivalents” instead…
