j_maffe··on Japan: Apple Must Lift Browser Engine Ban by December
Who told you that these are reasons the population doesn't care about? I know at least in Europe there has been wide support for initiatives such as the DMA, even knowing what it would entail. You're running on conjecture here.
j_maffe··on Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement
It's always the go to excuse against any regulation.

Tech and techies don't like to be monopolized

You really went all out with showing your contempt, huh? I'm glad that you're enjoying the tech companies utterly dominating US citizens in the process
j_maffe··on Next month, saved passwords will no longer be in Microsoft’s Authenticator app
They can "control" them in any meaningful way if they use them for access of things that you do not allow or denies access for things that you do allow. If neither are happening, then you're effectively the one controlling, not them.
j_maffe··on GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
I think there's a limit on the number of private limit. I personally never hit that limit.

To be fair, even the ones that don't want to get acquired know the bitter road ahead from the opposition aggression.

But you can still have the full power of git with Obsidian still, since they're just MD files at the end of the day.

Also with Github you can have a private repo for free with which you can host and sync your files.

I never said Obsidian doesn't require extra steps to setup sync without paying. Do you happen to know one that also allows you to save locally and have back-linking features?
j_maffe··on GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
No you don't. You can use your own web-hosting or web-syncing solutions. I just use Git. There's an excellent (and free) plugin on Obsidian exactly for this reason.

I use Git syncing on GitHub with 0 issues myself. Since when has file syncing been an issue?

Sounds like Obsidian but with extra steps.
j_maffe··on Trump administration halts Harvard's ability to enroll international students
When it's targeted solely at one institute for the purpose of hampering it's academic activities as retribution? You're being deliberately obtuse here.

Then it's not a killer app for you. Doesn't stop it from being so for many others.
j_maffe··on Trump administration halts Harvard's ability to enroll international students
To have international students be part of the university and contributing to its research?

It is formulaic which is why it surprised me that Sonnet failed it. I don't have access to the other models so I'll stick with Gemini for now.

No it's the fact that it's the exact same phenomenon of a rich club getting their way it just happens to be another rich club. There's nothing to celebrate here as you did in your previous comment.

"plateau" in the sense that your tests are not capturing the improvements. If your usage isn't using its new capabilities then for you then effectively nothing changed, yes.

Tried Sonnet with 5-disk towers of Hanoi puzzle. Failed miserably :/ https://claude.ai/share/6afa54ce-a772-424e-97ed-6d52ca04de28
j_maffe··on Claude 4
Ok then you should clarify that you meant math benchmarks and not math capabilities.
j_maffe··on Claude 4
If the now default go-to source for quick questions and formulating text isn't a killer app in your eyes, I don't know what is.

If a policy is so fucking stupid that everyone on the political spectrum is against it, it's more of a problem from the policy side and not the crowd.

> Where is the killer app?

My man, ChatGPT is the sixth most visited website in the world right now.

j_maffe··on Claude 4
> I don't think this is referring to real-time summarizing for the users' sake.

That's exactly what it's referring to.

j_maffe··on Claude 4
That's a very contentious opinion you're stating there. I'd say LLMs have surpassed a larger percentage of SWEs in capability than they have for mathematicians.

Did you try 3.7 for debugging first? Just telling it there's a bug can be enough.

wdym life imitates art? This is exactly what the episode was about lol
j_maffe··on Google AI Ultra
There's already an option for that. The downside is you can't access your chat history.
