People often build elaborate workflows with stricter and stricter rules to force certain outputs. Not surprising the LLM reacts with trying to get around or out of it. This behavior can be learnt from humans who eventually would react the same way. It might just be learnt.

I wouldn't say that chess is a solved problem. Just a hard problem to make a better chess engine than current Stockfish.

Let me be the devils advocate here. Ok, let's say you optimize that TODO list app to only use 16 mb of RAM. What did you gain by that? Would you buy a smartphone that has less RAM now?

Back in the day, when you saw as many ads or popups as some websites show today, it usually meant you had at least 3 viruses on the computer.

So is the “binary” nature of today’s switches the core objection? We routinely simulate non-binary, continuous, and probabilistic systems using binary hardware. Neuroscientific models, fluid solvers, analog circuit simulators, etc., all run on the same “binary switches,” and produce behavior that cannot meaningfully be described as binary, only the substrate is.

What is the advantage of using something like this instead of the IndexedDB Browser Feature

Well not for long, if the US pressures Europe to go back on these

Well, now you can set it up better like that.

Back then, the focus was on optimising for the user. Now, however, companies prioritise their own interests over the user.

With all the emojis in the source code, one can instantly recognize it as AI slop. :)

Gees, Rust is fast!

Maybe a supercomputer from a 1980s perspective.

It's easy to say 'write tests', but it's difficult to do so if you don't know what the actual requirements are.

People often think they are doing it 'properly' now by starting simple, but as they learn more and add functionality, they end up with the same complex mess they wanted to avoid.

I agree that it is a mostly well managed product, but I can think of a lot of things when it was in the news for something bad. Most controversial is probably the increase in the amount of Ads, unskippable ads, then there was multiple problems with Youtube kids, e.g. how bad people get really bad videos there. There was an outcry when the dislike button was removed, and so on..

Dell has been very loyal to Intel all these years, but i guess that is under pressure as well. As more and more customers look for AMD CPUs nowadays. I guess the CPU doesn't matter much in standard office company laptops and price is more important.

Just scaling them up might not leat to "AGI", but they can still lead to AGI as a bridge.

I guess most ads are lying, but when that AI woman says, she now "gets stuff done". There isn't even a hint of believability anymore. A real developer, or maybe even a customer would be more believable if they would actually use the product.

I'm not a fan of restricting sideloading. But i do hope they get better at not offering malware in the official PlayStore

Well, sometimes the user expects the focus to shift, like the example mentioned when you click a link in one application and your browser in the background should come into focus when it opens a new tab. Some applications just decide to steal focus when the user does not expect it, and that is the problem.

you say "I'm against it creeping into an existing eco-system for no reason.", while you ignore that there is at least one good reason: A lot better performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlUzgM6TiI4 I had forgotten this one. It's awesome.

AI looks exactly like NFTs to you? I don't understand what you mean by that. AI already has tons more uses.

And yet games run pretty fast on Windows.

I guess it goes without saying, that the first thing should be to follow security best practices. Patch vulnerabilities fast etc., before doing things like that. Then maybe his first website wouldn't have compromised either.

People said that about the internet as well. These kids don't even find the right books in a library!

"More than a decade ago, Germany began to phase out nuclear power while failing to ramp up other energy production. The result has been catastrophic for citizens and for the ruling government. In the first half of 2024, Germans paid the highest electricity prices in the European Union."

That completely ignores that Germany made itself dependent on cheap Russian gas which is not delivered anymore. It's not like nuclear was ever very cheap.

When i first moved from Windows to MacOS i was shocked there was no default shortcut to start Apps from the Dock, like Windows Key +1, 2, 3 etc. (It is configurable though)

Isn't that kinda scary? I mean when some parts of your brains don't work or not work properly?

The Latin Modern font on this website does not look so good in Chrome, is it because of the font size, or is it just me? (Chrome)

Pretty much missing out on AI completely was and is a problem for Intel.
