This reminds me of Ted Chiang's "Tower of Babylon". You really should read it (and all of TC's works)!

You're not seriously posting about base rates without any form of agreeable evidence around such base rates?

That's very notable and left out of the announcement.

Did you not scroll over to see the even more massive Kola Superdeep Borehole?

How do I know if this is worthwhile without any benchmarks against 'not using Superpowers'?

I feel this in my soul. I thought I could replace a door in a day, but months of fiddling, I discovered by frame is not only a parallelogram but it literally shifts by over an inch between seasons. (~100yr old house 2nd floor)

Love it, this is very Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricœur.

What a clever little tool. This is exactly the kind of pragmatic AI tools I want to see more of: linux-y single purpose tools!

Can I use Astro with this?

This is needlessly cynical. Everyone has thresholds, and it may not be tied (at least exclusively) to money. Those that _assume_ that the morals of others are always at whim of financial gain are those that I trust the least.

A PC with an nvidia card with 16gb vram works just fine for Qwen MoE models, and these have worked great as a daily driver for me.

Fwiw, the unconditionally bans can almost be viewed as 'proof of human' when so many bots are running on autopilot on places like DA. UwU

Since it seems like you may have research this, how do you feel about wind turbines?

As someone who is pitch-challenged, thank you

I once reported a bug to Cavedog and stated I didn't have Internet access out in the country to download a patch. They were kind and sent me the patch with the fix via floppy in the mail!

This should be followed in every state.

Not _my_ opinion, but I just wanted to share that many people (in the Midwest) do believe that anything synthetic that it not readily made from simple materials has "less soul". It's a sorta test of "if I dropped you off in the jungle, can you still produce works of soul? Or are you just another cog in the machine.".

Look, I'm not defending MS, but this feels like such a non-story. Every AI company wants people to love their product to use it as much as possible. EVERY game company every has wanted people to be addicted to their project. The context isn't "hypnotise people to use our AI against their will" but rather within Office products to make their AI so useful that people are 'addicted' to use it for all office work. This seems far less nefarious than the title.

Zig's MultiArrayList is a cool language feature to support objects of collections, and I wish more languages had first class support for it (without overhead of copy's).

They also do not release Max models too.

Is there a good benchmark leaderboard between coding agents?

I LOVE how the C64 OS was a programming language (BASIC). Even if you used the hardware the gaming, you had to learn a little bit of programming (LOAD "*",8,1).

I had the same Tandy 1000 SX and also a Commodore 64. My parents did not approve of video game, so outside of pacman, these were equipment to learn programming when I was in my single digits. My major complaint of today's computers is that they are getting harder to harder to 'learn' coding. When you used the Commodore for example, the interface was the programming language. In a way, you HAD to learn a little bit of programming to even use it. iOS devices for a long time made local development an impossibility, although the situation has improved a bit since the early days (still no JIT allowed, but I digress).

Boggles my mind you'd even imagine a positive scenario here. Let the states choose? This is not only how we kept slavery going by letting states drive, but it also caused a civic war when we had no federal coordination.

Nay, we must reform and reclaim a just federal government. Letting states drive themselves will turn the country into extreme violence.

Sure, but again, it's a micro 3B model. Perhaps it can't be used for general video work, but it might be able to do basic edits like remove an object from a table in a shot.

If I remember right, Nim sprang out from the D language community and uses it for different modules. It's been a long time since I kept up with the Nim community.

I argue this is both true and not true in stark ways with Google. Just look at Google Groups listserv, it's been running forever and arguably mosts used neighborhood listservs globally and has been very stable.. all largely for free. On the other hand, new experiments get chopped very quickly at Google. So, it's more like if the service can survive 2 years, then Google generally keeps it around*.

* unless it gets merged dozens of times into other similar projects.

Can this run locally or is this a service?
