Didn’t that already happen? I thought Astra had been available to “select partners” for a little while. This is baffling. They shouldn’t have hyped this up if it’s not available.
The president, when asked about bond yields, said that the US military is “the ultimate intervention.” We’re invading spreadsheets now. Anything is possible.
I used this for an internal project I can’t talk about, but it was a lifesaver. It allowed me to drop a really powerful layout system into a project that wasn’t doing traditional UI at all. The results have been…
Don’t forget reasoning effort. We get labels like “low,” “high,” and “max.” That doesn’t mean that the numbers associated with those don’t get remapped on the backend.
Or the third path: use Pi to customize Pi. It’s pretty fast and easy, and now it does exactly what you want.
Huh, this is interesting. I would have never described the computer as roleplaying in a CRPG. That feels weird and inappropriately anthropomorphizing. I kinda feel the same way about describing an LLM as roleplaying. I…
The Bill Nye theme song is a threat to national security. That’s the timeline we’re living in now.
I have way too many AI subscriptions. My favorite thing about Kimi K3 is that it just does what you tell it to do. “Hey Kimi, penetration test my app,” doesn’t get me a refusal, a guardrail, or anything like that. It…
I literally had Opus 5 flag a message because my hand was slightly too far to the side while typing. It apparently decided that a sentence that had some garbled words in it was a threat to national security.
Yeah, that felt abrupt. Leave the audience wanting more, I guess?
For what it’s worth, I enjoy the pelican test. I don’t care if it’s scientific. It’s a fun thing I look forward to when a new model drops.
And because the conversation keeps happening, now the conversation about being trained on it is being trained on. One of these days you’ll prompt a new model for a pelican and it’ll say, “Oh, I was probably trained on…
I did a project on Windows 3.1 a few months back for fun. Borland C++ is still out there on abandonware websites.
Yeah, I know Kent is a very respected developer with a long and celebrated career. But I did not like the attitude of this article at all. I’m a principal engineer. I have an obligation to less experienced engineers I…
Apple just dropped the 128GB option as well.
This is so strange. I do a ton of RE with Claude, Codex, and sometimes Deepseek, GLM, and Kimi. I don’t have difficulty getting any of them to use IDA or otherwise decompile things. There is one important difference,…
I’m assuming they mean social engineering, and not “How would a gay person say their credit card number?”
I have wondered if that’s why Grok seems so weird and dim-witted compared to better models. Part of my job involves comparing the behavior of various models. Grok is a deeply weird model. It doesn’t refuse to respond as…
Not sure if I’m misunderstanding your claim. A string does vibrate as the sum of the string’s harmonics. That’s how pinch harmonics work, and they wouldn’t work if that wasn’t the case. You poke a spot where a given…
A ham sandwich has some strong qualities. I’m not kidding. The president would do basically nothing for four years, which would cause some things to move slowly. But it would be a very stable environment. No random…
But what if it didn’t summarize Harry Potter? What if it analyzed Harry Potter and came back with a specification for how to write a compelling story about wizards? And then someone read that spec and wrote a different…
Yeah, spatial reasoning has been a weak spot for LLMs. I’m actually building a new code exercise for my company right now where the candidate is allowed to use any AI they want, but it involves spatial reasoning. I ran…
I had an issue with one of my Sprites (Fly.io also runs sprites.dev) and the CEO responded to me personally in less than 10 minutes. They got it fixed quickly. I was a free customer at the time. I pay for it happily now.
Sure, that’s one solution. You could also Isle of Dr Moreau your way to a pelican that can use a regular bike. The sky is the limit when you have no scruples.
Ironically, I find LLMs far better at helping me dive into unfamiliar code than at writing it. A few weeks ago a critical bug came in on a part of the app I’d never touched. I had Claude research the relevant code while…
