I hate this timeline

I think you misunderstood, i thought it funny that meta is putting expensive GPUs into what amounts to chicken coops. Not that the article was wrong and there’s actual chickens inside

Are these just industrial chicken coops?

You know, this kind of thing:

This is one of the big issues i have in my job. I’m on a dev team but a majority of the people around here are research data scientists. And a shitty 1000 line python script with zero regard for quality, that only really produces a bar chart as output and is never used again after 6 months is all they ever work with. And LLMs are amazing for that. But these data scientists don’t seem to understand that not all software is like that. So it’s really hard to have a real conversation about it.

And wouldn’t you know it, these are some of the same kind of people building this stuff and pushing the vibe coding narrative.

Even for that, 4 legs like the robot dogs is easier/more stable. Plus purpose built robots that don’t need to move are generally cheaper and make more sense, like a dishwasher.

and ten 500 bucks purpose built robots are cheaper than one 20-50k humanoid robot that does tasks slowly and needs a human remote operator for most of them

Denmark and Norway. Not sure what he wants with the Netherlands, though.

That’s true of most of the tech bros, though. They’re all losers that haven’t built anything themselves and that have been successful despite themselves, not because of themselves, just because they have money and fail upwards

Why drop the ‘to break racial ceiling’ part from the title?

It can be done but doesn’t work that well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rliFQ0qyAM

Actually anyone can post using the API, and many people did. Lots of the heavily publicized posts were written by humans

I’m not talking about the quality of LLMs (they suck, in so many different ways…).

I’m criticizing the experiment setup, it is not really statistically sound. Doing 10 tests each with 52 different models is almost bound to have one model be correct 100% of the time (even if the true probability is closer to 50%), by pure chance. Doing 100 tests each might yield very different results with none of them answering correct 100% of the time. Or put another way, the p-values of the tests performed are pretty high, not <0.05, so the results don’t really say what they purport to say.

10 tests per model seems like way too little and they should give confidence intervals…

the 10/10 vs. 8/10 is just as likely due chance than any real difference. But some people will definitely use this to justify model choice.

I think >50% of my up votes are me swiping right to go back but missing the screen border by a tiny bit, causing the jerboa swipe to vote to kick in.

so who knows, maybe they just accidentally hit the downvote arrow while scrolling?

I’d prefer 1.0 school, but hopefully they’ll work out most the kinks in the beta version already. Alpha should just be for internal testing, aka the CEOs kids…

Plus firefox mostly exists because google pays them, probably so there’s no anti-trust action against them.

Ah but don’t worry, there’s also skills for scanning skills for security risks, so all good /s

They also have a ‘skill’ sharing page (a skill is just a text document with instructions) and depending on config, the bot can search for and ‘install’ new skills on its own. and agyone can upload a skill. So supply chain attacks are an option, too.

I got mine from kultofathena.com 20 years ago for 40 bucks (though with fancier blade), but just checked and don’t think they sell it anymore.

You can have it if you want, it’s just laying in my basement.

I’m sorry, that came off very passive-aggressive, I really shouldn’t post at 3 am when I can sleep.

The whole dark ages, and golden ages thing is just very annoying, made up during the renaissance, in part as a useful tool to go “look how shit everything is, I will make it great and amazing like it was before”, still a favorite to use by populists (in reference to whatever time is most suitable) and it’s been repeated so much, it actually works, everyone kinda just accepted it. But then when you dig into it, the middle ages weren’t really worse in terms of invention/art/etc. than the renaissance, nor was there this big stagnation after the decline of the roman empire, and people always made art, new inventions and great achievements, along with cruelty, bloodshed and other awful things. But then this has been a relatively recent shift in historical research, so not that well known

In other news, dark ages are a myth disproven by science.
