Not everyone is seeing a paywall. Not sure if it’s the adblocker or other factors.

The problem is that you also need multiplication to implement OCR.

You defer to the advice of experts you trust. Which somehow have become harder to come by in terms of signal to noise than 20-30 years ago.

It seems that the writer has standards other than “getting richer”.

Based on comments elsethread, I think what was meant is: You can install it now with “bun upgrade --canary”, or something along those lines. However, people also report that the canary version doesn’t…

> who cares what language a JS toolset is written in? Anthropic, apparently, not the least because they blanket-closed all issues submitted before the rewrite. If the language were irrelevant, it s…

That wasn’t the question. The question is how LLM code review is a huge disruptor. What is it disrupting? At best, with regard to code review LLMs just solve the problems that LLMs create.
comment
> It's just to replicate the ritual of ordering food and give you the dopamine that the real process gives you. I’m confused. How does the food-ordering process give you dopamine? It generally…

The question is whether the balance of white-hat and black-hat LLM bug findings gives us a different enough result from the previous balance of white-hat and black-hat human bug findings to constitute…
comment
He explains how he thinks it won’t be a disruptor: > Just on that repeated experience, I suspect we have already seen more than half of the “worst software bugs found with LLM-tools” list. On the o…

There are even 2 TB USB thumb drives.

The author is predicting a decrease in privacy, but would prefer these predictions to be wrong.
comment
That's the point the root comment was making: The numbers only tell us how many units Valve is able to manufacture/ship, it doesn't tell us about the demand beyond that. So it's no…

Given that the waitlist still exists, I think we can be pretty sure.

It isn’t inverted though? 32000 is at the bottom, 40000 is at the top. Maybe it changed since you commented.
comment
The GoPros aren’t manufactured in the US either.

I use the system menu (Alt+Space) all the time, mostly because I find that closing a window via Alt+Space, C is more convenient (keys close to each other for the left hand) than Alt+F4. And then knowi…
comment
The discussion was about people who right now prefer to use AI for cheating (or for avoiding work) rather than for learning. I don’t think that a “personal tutor” mode would significantly change these…
comment
I don’t think this is likely to happen in the foreseeable future, because learning still requires struggling even under the best of personal tutors. For most of the “80%” it requires some level of com…

I’m reading and writing this on an iPad. I don’t think it makes sense as an analogy to AI, however.
comment
Because evaluating a performance is different task from creating a performance. Someone who plays an instrument badly often has a different perception from someone who has to listen to it. ;)
comment
I was wondering about that, since some color spaces have their primaries outside the horseshoe. Thanks for clarifying.
comment
You are probably familiar with the horseshoe-shaped chromaticity diagram [0] of human-visible colors. A light source with three color primaries spans a triangle in that coordinate system. To cover the…
comment
If you’d read the article, you’d learned that these are advancements in backlit LCD technology. More generally, however, having more than three color primaries is orthogonal to the question of backlit…

The true AI exponential.

> force multiplayer So a kind of Star Wars game?

It’s true by virtue of any place relying on such tools having a high likelihood of turning into a horrible workplace due to the resulting hires.
