There's no strict definition of these things, the quote is from YT and they're saying something like this isn't that _bad_ generative AI that people are worried about, this is just good old fashioned wholesome machine learning techniques.

As someone in the burbs + middle america, Facebook still has a frustrating grip on many of the community social communications which tend to take place in private Facebook groups (Girl Scouts, community HOA, etc.)

It's hosted on one of the author's sites. The collection itself is (as far as I can tell) out of print. It's falling through the cracks of "too complicated for a publisher to figure the rights out of" and "not lucrative enough for anyone to care".

One of the really nice things about Cloud Code is that it can interact with your file system, github api, local utilities, etc.

Warp feels like it's at a similar spot with their agent albeit with less Anthropic secret sauce.

"Tudum" is Netflix's signature sound that plays within the app. They also use it as a name for things like their events, etc.

A major current problem is that we're smashing gnats with sledgehammers via undifferentiated model use.

Not every problem needs a SOTA generalist model, and as we get systems/services that are more "bundles" of different models with specific purposes I think we will see better usage graphs.

We moved into a new home recently that backs up to some woods and there is a stunning number of huge dragonflies in our backyard (and very few mosquitos).

It just seems like luck though, I wish there was a way to better support the dragonflies as they seem so helpful.

I've always found this more aspirational than helpful, as my back-of-the-napkin math puts the number of plants needed to make an impact on air quality at some ludicrous number.

Genuine question as I don't understand the deeper aspects of this, but is it possible that we will see AI specific hardware in the future that will make local AI's more possible?

My general thinking is that we're using graphics processors which _work_ but aren't really designed for AI (lack of memory, etc.).

Part of the bubble is generational, what my parents watch, what I watch and what my kids watch are all very different. Aka the death of "four quadrant" entertainment.

Even just saying "watch" feels off as so much of my kids time is spent with franchises in Roblox or other online games.

Add heart disease and blood pressure meds to the list of "we'd be better off as a group if more people took them as preventatives".

The other reason for free limits is limiting abuse/weirdness from malicious users.

It used to be that cli tools were the power users preference but now I feel like that's shifted to web apps (over native). The ability to have multiple tabs/views, load extensions to customize behavior, adjust sizing, etc.

As an example: an absolutely vital tool for me is the Vimium keyboard control extension for navigation, which unfortunately can't be used in dedicated apps.

Stocking up to give them out at Christmas?

"Scary" doesn't need to mean Skynet taking over, it could just mean that Claude decides to yolo install a library with malware in it.

Tron (1982) which was disqualified from Oscar contention as they had heavily used computers for the graphics and this was considered "cheating".

I feel like we're at a similar spot today with AI.

There's a big YouTube channel that does special fx challenges that proudly proclaims "No AI" but the winner of the challenge used tons of physics and crowd simulators.

Is that not cheating?

fwiw - Google has a very similar tool called "Learn About" - https://learning.google.com/experiments/learn-about/signup

In general, this is the "wheeling and dealing" and "quid-pro-quo" and "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" of creating new laws.

The sponsor of the bill starts with a clean, straightforward version of their solar bill...but they don't have enough votes. So they start adding in causes from other legislators who want to pass other things (crime, etc.).

My understanding is that the way that chess.com and other online services detect cheating is by comparing the human-made moves to a "perfect" version of what the chess engine would play.

Which gives credence to your theory that people aren't bringing much to the table.

I feel you on what you're saying, but Google's Chromebook business is _big_ (11.5 Billion in revenue 2024) and this seems like a way to pull together that with their Android development.

Not joking, there's actually a lawsuit from one of the homework aid sites against Google as the AI Overviews are providing the answers that were previously been teased and upsold on their site.

Left unsaid in the filing was that it seemed like _most_ of the pages on the homework site were in fact scanned from copy written textbooks and then solved and they were trying to SEO rank for _exactly_ the question in the homework.

Easier to destroy than create.

I use Vimium (Chrome extension for using keyboard control of the browser) and this happens to me as well since the behavior looks "unnatural".

I help run a small annual founders retreat with around 20 other folks, and this is the first year we have zero Canadians attending (typically ~25%).

These are folks I know and talk to, and they're not even so much explicitly boycotting the US as the rhetoric is enough that they just feel sort of uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Not quite what you're asking for, but Tor users have long complained that Cloudflare basically makes it unusable (asking for complicated captchas on each page of a site, etc.)

To be clear, Bluey was actually the most streamed show in 2024.

Who owns your photo of the moon after Samsung uses "SceneOptimizer" to AI fix it? https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/11nzrb0/samsung_sp...

I'm aware of using DKIM signing records to prove that certain emails were actually sent through systems at certain times as there are headers that change based on them in the actual emails.

Note: pretty sure I got the concept right and misused a few terms here.

Keeping to the spirit of the article, it's maybe simpler to think of all of the "good" ANC headphones (Bose, Sony, Apple) as a tier above standard headphones and just try them all for which one you personally like the most.

What's the driving reason for local models? Cost? Censorship?
