This I'm afraid is different than the traditional approaches of recursive self-training and self-distillation. Much scarier.

Through what means exactly? Is Astra just doing byte manipulation? Or can there be an "SQL for neural network weights"?

Not even a scrape unfortunately, it's someone's curated and opinionated playlists of what they consider "interesting"

Some version of Windows + custom software

Very interesting. Does it intercept 'Open File/Folder' I wonder?

are you ok?

> kind of like age old there used to be hackintosh for macs

Have you checked out the hackintosh community lately? They have a near fully functional port to Snapdragon now.

adb runs in userspace Android. It's not a serial protocol/stack. Maybe fastboot.

There's several PoCs showcasing Apple Maps loading just fine on X

It's just an "almost" zero-cost abstraction layer for running complex service stacks and workloads on Linux. And damn, it's just so convenient and neat.

I don't see how that is relevant here. And no, not "any idiot" can run a business.

I suppose it's not enough to break everything down into smaller pieces, your architecture also needs to be composable. That would address the issue of duplication. Think a plugin system.

Can't everything be broken down into smaller pieces? And isn't that actually a good principle in general?

How come we cannot keep/define "specs" of how to manufacture such "mundane" objects such as a grill brush, everything from what raw materials are required, how should the assembly line(s) look like, which industrial robots or their human professional alternatives are required, etc. etc.

It just seems to me that fundamentally this is a knowledge organization problem.

Excuse my ignorance, but why didn't you benchmark on a RAM disk for more accurate results?

Yawn

My go-to script to "re-image" a VPS with whatever image of Windows or Linux distribution. It supports:

* Windows to Linux * Linux to Windows * Linux to Linux * Windows to Windows

Also arbitrary .ISOs and disk images.

Wow, TIL.

No thank you

To me it just sounds like we need an even higher level language for these sort of 'software for one' apps. There is still tons of boilerplate. Declarative is king.

Please stop calling it an 'OS'. It's just Android with a few custom components.

If you automate the creation of software, you essentially can automate almost any white-collar job.

Why mess with scrolling?

well, you've got endless "integration testing" in the form of 3rd party software for Windows.

More reliable than any specification, considering Windows itself is a patchwork of workarounds to not break backward-compatibility.

Ah yes, the eternal truth of "looks matter". It translates to almost everything imaginable, not just people's appearance.

Let's strip all strings then before analysis? to prevent prompt injections and such.

I'd say it's different this time, because LLM can form and substantiate opinions of their own, on their own. You could actually assume you have the full source code of any binary for it to analyze, since in theory everything is decompilable, and you could then also diff between releases to save 99% tokens.
