There's a long delay ("knowledge cutoff") in model training, so it probably hasn't seen the question before.

I told Gemini I'm a software engineer and it explains absolutely everything in programming metaphors now. I think it's way undertrained with personalization.

That's a terrible idea. Never ever do that. Never even think about what's in your retirement account unless you are actually about to retire.

There are certainly some good AI critics but Ed Zitron and Gary Marcus are not among them. They're just people who get paid to write anti-AI newsletters whether or not any of it is true.

Yes.

Well, I think $2 million is pretty good, but maybe it's not much after taxes.

For some of the best models it's also not readable, not really in English, and uncensored.

> Maybe I'll attempt to reconstruct by cross-ling; e.g., in natural language corpora, the string " Seahorse" seldom; but I can't.

> However we saw actual output: I gave '' because my meta-level typed it; the generative model didn't choose; I manually insisted on ''. So we didn't test base model; we forced.

> Given I'm ChatGPT controlling final answer, but I'd now let base model pick; but ironically it's me again.

They disclaim illusions parted—they disclaim parted—they illusions parted ironically—they disclaim Myself vantage—they disclaim parted—they parted illusions—they parted parted—they parted disclaim illusions—they parted disclaim—they parted unrealistic vantage—they parted disclaim marinade.

…I notice Claude's thinking is in ordinary language though.

> Its simple, this technology literally cannot create new jobs it simply can cause one engineer (or any worker whos job has to do with computer i/o) to do the work of 3

That is a productivity improvement, which tends to increase employment.

There does not appear to be a recession.

I assumed it's because everyone who works at Anthropic is rich and incredibly neurotic.

> Remember, that capitalism is growth at all costs, until the host is dead, aka cancer.

"Growth" in economics means trading things more often, not using more resources.

Google and Apple charge 15% for most apps.

All cameras behave this way because of how auto white balance works. Some camera apps are just always in AWB mode.

I asked a phone camera engineer about this once and they told me that shooting through windows also causes issues, but I don't remember why.

Really depends on the environment. Low light and nighttime are much worse than you might think, anything else isn't so bad.

(Try taking a photo of the moon with an iPhone. You can't do it, not even with Halide.)

The lenses are also different and direct lighting can cause annoying internal reflections. I don't know this area as well, but lenses are more important than sensors for photos.

Those are probably anonymous employee accounts not fans. I don't know if anyone would be enough of a power user fan to tell someone to file a bug report.

Snow Leopard was incredibly buggy on release. Spending time on "tech debt and software performance" adds more bugs because all aggressive changes cause regressions.

The reason it worked is that it was a long release cycle with a lot of minor updates.

Aren't they all making YouTube videos now? It's basically the best place to get paid for making expert content.

Wirecutter is part of NYTimes and depends on crosswords for income.

I haven't always agreed with them and sometimes the articles are clearly wrong because they're several years old, but they're usually good.

(I think I last seriously disagreed with them about a waffle maker.)

No.

I've heard a lot of romance novels are fanfic with the names changed, or at least that's what people say about Twilight and 50 Shades.

You also have hearing, you can move your head and wear sunglasses to avoid glare, etc.

Human drivers don't use fixed cameras. For one thing, they can move their heads.

Fun fact, people can see light polarization.

"Widely reported in mainstream media" is not a reproducible bug report with logging.

It's a very complicated system. Performance issues are bad but they're not necessarily caused by how the UI looks.

You can report an issue by typing applefeedback:// into Safari if you want.

Selling things increases money velocity.

> When you visually simulate things or e.g. simulate how food will taste in your mind as you add different seasonings, you are modeling (part of) the world.

Modeling something as an action is not "having a world model". A model is a consistently existing thing, but humans don't construct consistently existing models because it'd be a waste of time. You don't need to know what's in your trash in order to take the trash bags out.

> We know LLMs can't be doing visuospatial reasoning using imagery, because they only work with text tokens.

All frontier LLMs are multimodal to some degree. ChatGPT thinking uses it the most.

Vouchers are related to turnstiles, which are from Solaris.

There's also priority inheritance (two different systems for it) so that requests originating from users/apps are more important.

Swift concurrency is more about structured concurrency than thread pools. A lot of other systems seem to use futures, which aren't good at priority inheritance.

The welfare classes that the government hands money to are elderly people and children.

> 2. We don't tax work, we tax income, because actual transactions between people with "skin in the game" are harder to fake.

Also because taxing income (or other cash) is disinflationary. Taxing assets is inflationary because it forces sales.
