Yes, but the difference also has to do with geography/preference. Brown and Polar bears can and do produce viable offspring, but because they're generally geographically separated we consider them separate species. Same for birds; many could mate but they choose not to (different mating calls, etc), and for that reason combined with different looks we classify them as separate species. Neanderthal, who are accepted as being a different species of human, interbred with humans before going extinct.
It's my opinion that if aliens visited earth 30k years ago and used our definition of the word, they would classify us as different species. To be clear I'm not advocating that we should refer to humans as different species, just that because we're capable of such advanced thought we should abide by different rules than we hold other animals to.
The definitional limit on interbreeding includes geography and preference; black/brown/polar bears can and do interbreed in captivity but because they live in different locations and they look sufficiently different/have different diets we consider them different species.
If Aliens landed on our earth 20k years ago and used our definition of the word there's no doubt in my mind they'd consider us different species, we'd be like bears. As far as I can tell the only reason we don't classify people as different species is for the sake of society, as people would naturally then try to determine differences and rank them, which has an obviously bad long-term outcome.
I broadly agreed with the authors experience, although I wouldn't say codex does anything "wrong". I think different agents/LLM's have different personalities, and it takes learning to understand how to get them to do what you want. I had the same experience when we started using claude at work, and I was trained on codex. Claude seemed to do everything "wrong", because I was writing instructions designed for codex.
I do agree claude looks for more things to do in your repo, whereas codex is more likely to do what its old and stop. Which is better is personal preference as far as I can tell.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but it's an incredibly beautiful state, full of mountains and sparsley populated with the exception of Boise. Further many people would love the things you said (I personally am not a weed fan and enjoy my human right to own guns). Boise is a beautiful place to live if you can afford it.
The great garbage patch was entirely made up, and it was unfortunate more people didn't call them out on it because it ultimately hurt the reputation of anyone working on ocean cleanup. There are certainly issues with garbage in the ocean but the issue is surrounded by mysticism and imagination making it hard to determine what's real and what isn't.
There were years where, to my understanding, they were deliberately not accepting features or patches to push Wayland, which is kind of frustrating, because it misses the point of a competitive ecosystem. Like on one hand if they're deliberately sabotaging Xorg for Wayland it implies Wayland must actually be a lot better, but on the flip side if Linus had sabotaged linux in favor of seL4 we'd all be worse off, even though kernel engineers often regard microkernels as a "better architecture".
I kind of wonder that too, I'm fine using wayland but it seemed like a huge user hassle for not many benefits (namely independent screen scaling which xlibre now supports). It's a shame xlibre didn't come around sooner, after years of pain wayland support has gotten a lot better, to the point I can more or less use either without issue.
I really dislike this sort of fake outrage. They're not pissed, they have a job to do and these cameras help them. I personally dislike flock cameras because I don't like passive surveillance, but we've also elected officials who've encouraged societal shifts that require these cameras over the past few decades. I'm not sure what people expect them to do.
Sure OpenAI has open source tools, and equivalent or better models, and lower prices, and they get along better with other agentic tools, but Anthropic has much better marketing and I guess that's what matters.
It’s also just unreliable; people complain about Wikipedia being user edited but Reddit is so often just nonsense. It’s what the collective wants to be real, not what’s actually real
I mean replacing a battery is something you do, at most, once every 5-7 years. If removing the battery requires a heat gun then it's not the worst thing imo.
I wonder at what point we're just going to see people writing like AI because they read it so much? That said I'm fine with companies saving money on copywriters
Because China is a terrifying country with no real notion of human rights. Basically all Chinese companies (including Tencent) work closely with the government and do what they want under threat of arrest. There’s no way I’m uploading my data to China where their government can get at it whenever they want.
This is very cool but there's no way they won't train on your private repos, in a way that github has been pleasantly respectful of. I have issues with github, but the recent uptime issues are more related to people uploading way more code due to AI than some sort of mismanagement.
I really liked bitbucket, it's my favorite git management system I've used for real production work and it allows for self hosting. Self hosting is also way faster than gitlab from what I remember
I mean, you can't say "this service isn't good enough so I won't pay". The justification is surely the cost of hosting the platform and building it out, in fact if you try and demand higher quality libraries they'll probably raise the price to fund it. It is frustrating though, I wish there were a more open and free phone OS
The terms "transgender" was created in 1965, the first research was done by John Money, both of who's patients committed suicide after treatment. People over 30 remember being taught gender == biological sex in school and college.
That said this is a discussion of how political views can shape LLM inference depending on the motivations of the people behind the company. Derailing the conversation would be tying to discuss the political opinions themselves instead of how LLM's are trained to handle them.
Somehow I imagined they meant kamikaze drones, however they're talking about 30 million dollar reaper drones which are mostly used for surveillance being shot down around Iran.
Unfortunately we couldn't figure it out before going out of business. Certainly parents didn't respond to saying things like "that's impossible, of course she'll get online before then" or pointing out obvious facts like "is your separated ex-wife also in on this plan"?
I do think the fear is logical and makes sense, but it was hard to logically deconstruct the fear into purchasing our service.
I don't think it's as significant anymore but there was a point where GPT would write 8 paragraphs to say yes, while Grok would literally just say "Yes." They've converged a bit (Grok now says more, GPT says less) but I'd argue Grok is still more efficient while Claude/GPT are more wordy (and often needlessly)
Yes it does, it just means all the companies come out with similar models around the same time. If what they were doing was completely novel, it would take a long time to repeat. As it is now each company releases a new model every few months, and every couple years the "leading" company changes.
> But he thinks he would have learned more from his classes without the pressure of earning high marks.
I don't believe that for a moment. Classes exist to force students to learn hard things, and tests exist to verify they learned the things. It's a nice thought but the reality is without verifying students learned things they'd start skipping class and not doing readings.
I mean there are a number of politicians on there, as well as a few million active users. Honestly though this all makes sense? Like why wouldn't X do the same thing, it seems like a no brainer. Certain people want the first access to information, and sites like these are where things are posted first. This seems like a logical product to sell if you own a large enough social media site
I used to run a parental controls startup and after talking to lots of parents, I can tell you this sentiment is shared among most parents. Parents on both sides of the isle think they're going to keep their teenagers off the internet forever, I had parents look me straight in the face and say their child wouldn't be allowed online until she was 16.
Parents aren't interested in the nuance of good and bad guys, they see the internet, think it's too much trouble to keep around, and want it blocked. I suspect politicians are just mimicking this sentiment after talking to thousands of parents
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, you're right. Using software that has requires people to contribute back is a huge liability, and hurts adoption, which is the most important metric for herdr right now.
There’s an irony too, in that junior engineers are more likely to understand and use AI tools, and quickly become more performant than their senior engineers asking questions on stack overflow. It’s what’s happening at my company and it feels silly since certain projects are way behind and constantly hiring because the very senior lead refuses to use AI
The issue with that is it’s still a markdown page. I’d suspect it’s more about making sure people don’t get around ads, or possibly even cross-user memory/training.
