USB2 only, which still makes for a surprisingly useful system with DisplayLink and wifi adapters. Supporting the rest of the hardware looks like it will require watching macOS under the hypervisor, which Opus doesn't…
we're a long ways off from simply speaking software into existence I wanted a Chinese language tutor that uses a local LLM to generate sentences and evaluate my translations. I asked Claude to build that, and an hour…
There seems to be this fallacy of "I don't have to write code anymore, therefore nobody will have to write code anymore." I see a lot more of "AI coding doesn't work well in this specific case, therefore it's entirely…
AI-written stories have won several awards, e.g. https://lithub.com/a-prize-winning-story-published-in-granta...
I wanted to see how Fable could do at getting Linux running natively on my M4 Mac mini. Turns out pretty well: it patched the Asahi installer and m1n1 bootloader to support M4, and created a workflow where it could…
Most people who exercise regularly enjoy it. There's a huge selection effect here.
"Computer" used to be a job title for a human. Was it sociopathic to introduce mechanical calculators because it made those jobs unnecessary?
the intelligence is being dialed down. Sonet 5 is a living proof of this. Huh? Sonnet 5 is a strict improvement over Sonnet 4.6 at the same price.
Yeah, it's a surprisingly resilient alliance of NIMBY homeowners who understand supply and demand, and "anti-gentification" types who don't.
Maybe there's space for some government regulation? The problem is largely due to government regulations that prevent people from building housing.
An LLM can only output the mean next likely token, and then add a bunch of extra noise on top of that so it feels interesting and not repetitive. So when an LLM was asked to analyze the unit distance conjecture, it just…
at which point, bringing up every failure of free markets (like, obviously, US healthcare) is dismissed as "not really a free market" I mean, it's not. In a free market you'd have a choice of insurance providers rather…
It seems by definition "below par" of whatever human activity it's training on How many sub-par mathematicians could solve the unit distance conjecture?
Self checkout is absolutely more convenient if you're not buying a lot. (I find ways to make it worth my while..) If that means what it sounds like, congratulations on accelerating the descent to a low-trust society.
If true then why are neither Anthropic or OpenAI dropping their API pricing They are? In the before times of 2025, Opus 4.1 was $75 per million tokens. Opus 4.8 is $25, and Fable is/was $50.
by basically any measure, a market with scalping is worse for everybody involved than one with scalping Scalpers benefit customers who are willing to pay the market price but missed out on the lottery and otherwise…
But they only need to do that because of the scalpers! Scalpers can only profitably exist when demand at the list price exceeds supply. If you could magically ban scalping, then some number of willing customers wouldn't…
* If you hired a junior engineer or designer who refused to explain their thinking on their code* Any explanation that someone gives of their thinking process is necessarily lossy and likely partially confabulated.
It always amuses me when nuclear power is the one area where the left becomes Very Concerned about excessive government spending. despite 70 years of tinkering and trying it hasn't managed to make a noticeable dent in…
And yet when there are objective results like "we ported Bun to Rust and 100% of the test suite passes" the response is "so what, the code is obviously crap and has tons of bugs that the tests don't cover".
That's the point. Hetzner is presumably covering their costs, so it's a safe bet that AWS is profitable.
No loopholes, no bad faith interpretation. The endless cookie banners would beg to differ.
Entirely correct. what they're saying is they want "a service that charges less money". But that idea conflicts with the venues/promoters/artists that want to charge more money. And it also conflicts with the other fans…
Blame capitalism, but the real estate part. Housing is absolutely a large reason for the fertility decline, but the main issue is governments forbidding housing from being built which is pretty much the opposite of…
