rymiel··on ChatGPT starts blocking direct requests to copy an author's style
LLMs cannot write dialogue between two characters where one person knows a fact and the other person doesn't. It will consistently make the character who shouldn't know something bring up said fact and I have not found a model which will not do this. All these years of LLM research and it fails grade schooler level logic, if it is even slightly abstracted behind a story.

rymiel··on C++ Insights – See your source code with the eyes of a compiler
gcc lacks usable tooling, in the past it was a conscious decision to not allow any other program to "steal" the work of gcc. Every single tool for c++ is built around clang, because clang is actually built to allow other tools to use it

rymiel··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
No. You pay even if your app doesn't have purchases. You pay more if it does.
rymiel··on The GPT Store
This is measurably true. They claim they don't know why because "they haven't changed anything" but it is true at the very least
rymiel··on Duolingo Cuts 10% of Contractors as It Uses More AI to Create App Content
They removed typing in answers for source language (i.e. English) translations. Was a feature, but now it's gone. You have to pick from the words they give you
rymiel··on Weak-to-Strong Generalization
I don't believe current LLMs will ever become AGI because current companies (like OpenAI) will continue to filter, moderate and prohibit their AIs so much that they become inhibited so much that it stops being useful and intelligent (which they call "alignment")

rymiel··on 'Everything indicates' Chinese ship damaged Baltic pipeline on purpose
What worries me is that there seem to be no consequences for the ship for this destruction of infrastructure since it was in "international waters"

If I start breaking all undersea cables in the oceans one by one, will I face any consequences? Is there a line somewhere, where breaking one or two cables is fine?

rymiel··on You don't need JavaScript for that
This thing where the datalist options show in the keyboard is some recent thing, i.e. a few months ago. It used to be "normal" before that, but I guess someone wanted to change things only for the sake of changing things

rymiel··on Google releases Bard to a limited number of users in the US and UK
Unlike ChatGPT, and like Bing, Bard makes search queries for extra context before answering. Of course, that leads to things like this where they can find articles referring to themselves, which also happened with Bing.
rymiel··on Mold linker creator considers changing the license
He doesn't want to work on mold as part of Google or another large company like that because then Google would take ownership of the whole program; he wants to maintain ownership of it. It's mentioned in a tweet of his
