I still can't reconcile how they didn't use the wheel for transportation. The explanations of lack of draft animals and unsuitable terrain aren't great. Not even a wheelbarrow?
Thanks, that means a lot. I've found that browsing through a few dozen build threads is the perfect cure for the AI blues.
Thanks; much appreciated. I picked up an endless list of new build interests in starting the site and exploring different niche forums. Turns out I really like wooden boat builds, cyclekarts, intricate custom knives,…
https://buildthreads.com/ Aggregator for new posts in build threads from 277 old-school DIY forums. Build threads of people building cars, 4x4s, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, hot rods, musical instruments, etc.
Everyone scrambling to max their usage before the deadline may have given Anthropic some valuable data on exactly how much compute they can handle. The extension could also be a play to minimize the effect of OpenAI's…
Nice! This is just what I'm looking for. An old Roomba 880 served us well until it could no longer charge its battery, even a new one. The AI slop on the site is not appealing, but it could also mean that the project…
I run an active forum in the DIY space, and another site that aggregates new build threads from hundreds of niche forums. Forums for people building cars, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, cabins, musical instruments, etc.…
This is the truth. For DIY pursuits, niche forums are far superior to reddit, twitter, facebook, instagram, or any other social media.
This gives permission for all other providers to do the same.
It would be more difficult to make an open model illegal. Where is the centralized kill switch like what Anthropic used today?
Huge PR win for Anthropic if they can restore access within a week or so. Will be interesting to see OpenAI's next move.
Just turned off for me on Claude Code. Good while it lasted.
Homeschooled kids can socialize outside of homeschool and be perfectly well-adjusted. There's something to be said for avoiding the hierarchical social structure present in schools.
> that implies a certain amount of time and cognitive investment on my part Yes, this is the takeaway for me. A PR can no longer be a reasonable proof of work.
Agreed. Professional sports are the closest institution that society has to a meritocracy. Highly competitive, public, obsessively measured and analyzed. A tenth of a second faster sprint time might be more valuable…
The IQ loss from neurological damage caused by COVID wasn't helpful either. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2311330
Interesting to search this page for "4.5". I'm happy to move to a superior model, but I'm not really hearing enough about significant improvements, and the obvious pressure to release the latest and greatest model makes…
It's a modern version of: "we're firing you, but your last task will be to train your lower-cost replacement".
Your comment made me look up "shower phone holder" on Amazon, and I regretted it.
Possibly related to "showerthoughts", in that removal of stimuli allows for latent realizations to surface.
The article doesn't address branding very much, but one of the theories for why laser-focused American brands (like Starbucks, KFC, or McDonald's) do so well in Japan is that Japanese mega-companies are too…
That's true, those numbers don't work out for Google. But they have essentially unlimited resources to discover the exact threshold at which that person is just barely incentivized to keep their site active. $100K/year,…
AI verbosity is similar to AI sycophancy: a dark pattern, disguised as earnest assistance.
> If Google cuts that out completely, what incentive do websites have to not block the Google crawlers? Completely, yes, that destroys the incentive. But they can reduce it 80% or 90% or so, to the point that it's just…
