I got access around a week ago but found it quite unintuitive and found myself sticking to herdr for now, but was probably a bit quick to judge. What makes tern great for you?
When you say, persistent agents, how does that work in practice for you?
Yeah but I presume this has more to do with latency than overall compute, right?
Ah yes, I've had similar experiences actually. Also the variant where I ask it to provide an alternate solution/answer to the one it gave, where it than proceeds to basically regurgitate its previous answer with slight stylistic (i.e. maintaining content parity) modifications.

Context: I have been using GPT5 since its release over a month ago, within my Plus subscription. Before this release, I heavily relied on gpt-o3 for most complex tasks, with 4o for simple question. I use it for a mix of scientific literature websearch for e.g. understanding health related topics, the occasional coding assistance and helping me out with *nix sysadmin related tasks. Note that I...

I think you'd want things in RAM for performance reasons but would love to be corrected by people with more knowledge/experience on the subject
Yeah like that time before your were born, remember?
Also surprised by this. Will the eu follow suit?
Which language do you refer to when you speak of python's typed sibling?
Interesting tool, especially the statistics relating to the chances of dying within 1 or 10 years are quite confronting. Memento Mori.

It's statistically significant because there is a difference in outcome between the group receiving treatment and the one that did not which could not be attributed to chance alone, but the difference isn't clinically significant because it was a very small difference (in statistics, this is sometimes also referred to as the _effect size_)
Thanks, we really need to bring a bit of balance and data to this topic like this. The hype is certainly real, while the data so far aren't backing this up.
I'm afraid that the public interest in legalisation of psychedelics, motivated by positive experiences in recreational use, leads to a skewed narrative around their health benefits, as a means to open the door for their gradual acceptance and legalisation. This happened to marijuana as well, where health benefits of marijuana were grossly exaggerated to open the door to its legalisation, with medical marijuana as a segway. Marijuana can be harmful and abused, so even though I'm all for legalisation, people should have a balanced view of the benefits and risks to make more informed decisions. Luckily the risk and abuse profile of psychedelics is (much) lower than that of marijuana.
Well I think they even multiply, making it even better news!
This is a really cool idea, I will try out your app!
I just donated. Thanks Bram, RIP <3
Read a good textbook. I personally like the Feynman lectures of Physics, always very clearly explained.
> This leads to the fundamental challenge: how can humans steer and trust AI systems much smarter than them?
I think, as a first question to be answered prior to this one, the word "how" should be removed from this sentence.
>The carbon footprints of the investments were calculated by examining the equity stakes that the billionaires held in companies. Estimates of the carbon impact of their holdings was calculated using the company’s declarations on scope 1 emissions – direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by a company – and scope 2, indirect emissions.
Well, that seems a downright wrong way of assessing their "personal" footprint, don't you think?
Ah so _that's_ how Sam Altman talks.
My primary concern with these are: what will it mean in a possible future to know your risk profile, and your ability to get/maintain health insurance, also without having to pay premiums. I live in the Netherlands, so probably not too much, but US could be different, and who knows what the future holds. Anyway, this makes me less/not want to take them...
We recently switched to Jax to boost performance as we scale up our algorithmic core. The nice thing is that it presents only a minor jump in capabilities to get developers working with it, if they have prior exposure to numpy ofcourse. Quite nice :)
