onidj··on Birdwatching rewires the brain and slows cognitive decline
It's so good. Nature documentary made by a pair of endearing dirtbags.
onidj··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
I just asked Opus 5.5 if any AI driven advances in mathematics have been announced in the last day or so and it gave me a summary of this OpenAI announcement. https://claude.ai/share/319b437a-c1f2-4119-8dc5-45d36545fed9
onidj··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
>- Do "normies" even know what's happening?

Absolutely not. Even to a lot of techy/nerdy people it's still just a chatbot that they sometimes use to help them at work. Even on here people will do whatever they can to downplay.

The lack of fucks given is staggering.

It seems exceptionally unlikely to me that OpenAI would be "reading user prompts". More likely is a leak somewhere else. Obviously Anthropic/OpenAI are engaged in espionage stuff with each other. I am guessing Levent just mentioned something to someone at Anthropic and it got out.

Heads firmly in the sand. I don't know how anyone who's paying attention could not be at least a little concerned.

What do you mean fable is useless?
onidj··on The OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident [video]
I don't understand. I had to search for this thread with the youtube link. Does anything LLM related just automatically get a sea of downvotes?
onidj··on Kindle loyalists scramble as Amazon turns page on old e-readers
Having used an early kindle and a recent kindle, they are incredibly similar. One of the main innovations of the new models appears to be adverts you have to pay to get rid of.

This wasn't my experience at all.

I tried Codex for a short while but quickly went back to Claude. Found myself having to revert Codex changes all the time. Maybe I had subconsciously altered my workflow/prompting to work well with Claude, but somehow wasn't providing Codex with the correct context, not sure.
