Come on Apple - just buy TSMC and fully kit out the RAM in all Mac Studios - you could even make (more of) a fortune selling the excess.

Hiring has always been broken.

If only builders could figure out some way to consolidate multiple living units under single roof, with shared building systems. Maybe something in the vertical dimension?

What the hell is that popover?

"even a small jailbreak should cause them to pull back and fix it first, right"

You do realize that LLMs are summarizations of vast numbers of weights, don't you? You don't "fix" a weight and suddenly everything is alright. You can only probe constantly in a vast space and see if the results you can command matter or not.

Yes. Fable is much more organized and consistent at taking small bites of the (sorry) apple when solving a problem. Specifically I'm talking about a machine learning problem I'd been working on for awhile with Opus and it was (and is, again) constantly stating that all the signal is exploited, everything is now overfit, etc, etc, etc. The first day I pointed Fable at the situation I got a 10% improvement by paying attention to the little details that Opus instead took slightly negative results and extrapolated to "fully exploited". I've had to drop back, again, to forcing Opus to explain what it's looked at and the detail it has quietly assumed away.

It's like the difference to talking to two smartest kids in a class, but one really belongs a grade higher - and the other hasn't learned yet to ask the questions that encourage it to dig in that little bit more for the additional multi-order effects.

People designated that school as a valid target - using fancy calculators does not remove that the pass/fail rests with people. AI models have no agency. Even if they are given autonomy - it is given.

Typical admin move here - give our foreign competitors as much time to catch up as possible.

The thing triggered on a generic white paper I'd stored in a virtual cell competion from last year when I asked it to refer to the paper while working on a rather vanilla data science problem in a different domain . A little frustrating, and in my opinion more than a little pointless in total.

He asks if it's an MLS problem but doesn't dig into the poor management decisions that persist at the MLS level, and though he does touch on the lack of relegation, and he doesn't touch at all on the US Soccer Federation's consistently poor choices for USMNT head coach. We're presently stuck with a guy who praises the players getting into constant on-field fights and each manager constantly makes nepotistic selections for team slots who are under-performers yet constantly praised, or even worse this year, who seem to be chosen for their unfocused non-game-enhancing aggression. That sort of mis-focus might work if playing in leagues where that is the norm, but world-class players and teams play with technique, and the rough play BS lasts as long as the officials allow it and doesn't win in the long term, which is where you have to aim to win championships. It's arguable if we'd even be in the Cup this time if we weren't hosting, and I'll be surprised if we get out of the group stage this time.

That headline is doing a lot of heavy making-it-up summarization.

18 wheeler type trucks do over 80% of the damage to roads. They could pay for it all and we'd all simply share the cost in the price of goods, and collection would be vastly simpler and cheaper.

But, there wouldn't be the opportunity for asking for political favors, so don't expect anyone who likes you having to beg to champion such a process.

I bet it will be 100 AI written, with guidance, natch, just because...

Tossing turkeys out of a helicopter?

That's kind of like saying no one should participate in Kaggle contests because we all have access to the same datasets.

Plenty of people certainly seem to have desires to make it ugly.

Aren’t there several states that have the same city name repeated within the state? I think there’d need to be a county delineator here too.

The Files That Must Not Be Released have not been released - oh look a party balloon floating by!

Yes, this why drives come in the mail pre-wiped - it saves on shipping.

Sure, let’s kill what little lead the US AI industry has while the rest of the world kicks ass - it’s working so well in all our other endeavors.

Let’s not.

The constant whining about them certainly is.

Why would it not work in a browser?

It isn’t the fault of private equity that banks make excessive loans against assets in a leveraged buyout. Banks (such as per the article, The Royal Bank of Scotland) have a duty to ensure that their loans are of properly assessed risk, and if the PE firm that wants to or has bought an asset does not look qualified to run it, then the banks should not be making the loans. Articles that keep casually dropping triggers like “[t]hey rubbed their hands together and said, 'Sooner or later, as the demand increases, the prices must go up'” are not seeking workable solutions but capitalizing on their ability to raise ire. It’s much more yet another article that does its best to paint a profit motive as an evil, completely ignoring that any endeavor that is not profitable is going to die sooner rather than later, and when it’s a government run endeavor then the taxpayers, who were completely uninvolved in the deicsions of where their money should be spent, are the ones left on the hook - HTF is that better?

At this point we need AI filtering out the slop being constantly submitted to HN.

only of people constantly complaining about it like they have some special insight

When other countries historically went insolvent they too pretended it meant nothing.

“Recognize”. Not perceive, but recognize. Much Journalism.

“Use of this computer is illegal in the state of Illinois - your friendly neighborhood SWAT team has been notified.”

I do - but then I shudder, and go make a sandwich - which still needs me for the moment.
