That’s how proxy wars work, yes.

There’s almost no support for PD that high yet across devices. It will definitely take some time to roll out. The only laptop I know that supports it is the Framework 16, and it requires an extra purchase of a $150 charger.

Rag was never supposed to be about learning over time. It was supposed to provide better context at inference. It could never scale to handle new learning beyond focused concepts.

Nothing is natural about how we wake and go to sleep these days, I’m not sure why that would matter.

Today for example, where I live in BC (which is essentially along the border) sunrise was at 6:51am (with it starting to get light even before that) and sunset will be 5:59pm (with it still being light a bit later than that of course)

If we spring ahead to the new system, it would mean sunrise would have been at 7:51am, with sunset at 6:59pm.

When I got up this morning at quarter to 7am to my alarm beeping, even though sunrise was just about to occur, the first thing I did was turn on my bedroom light so that I could see. My blinds were closed, so I could not tell if it was light or dark outside.

When I get home, I will turn on my house and room lights for multiple hours before I go to bed tonight.

Dec 21st would have been sunrise from essentially 9am to 5pm, instead of 8am to 4pm. Either way I’m waking up in the dark, and going to bed in the dark.

In the deepest parts of summer, it is light before I wake up and is just barely reaching darkness before I go to bed most nights. Under standard time it would actually be dark before I go to bed… maybe that’s the benefit?

Is it? Why? Daylight time was already a larger portion of the year.

Eliminating programmers will be possible when we figure out how to eliminate engineers in designing buildings.

Only a true AGI will be able to do that, and while LLMs feel like a step towards AGI, they are still missing the critical ongoing learning component that needs to happen for an AGI to exist. The way the current systems are trained simply doesn’t allow for accepting and adopting new information continuously.

It aint just academia.

Also had our AC die, leaked and needed a piece replacement. Was fixed under warranty though so not really a problem.

Love my kia Niro ev. Looks like any other normal car. Fun to drive.

It won’t. The tech is far too useful.

Get fucked. It’s 3 seconds on google to find reputable articles about his threats to canada, videos of him threatening canada, or even his own fucking posts on truth social.

The only reason it hasn’t happened is because his people distracted him with invading Venezuela, then threatening Greenland, then Iran, now Cuba, or maybe still Iran.

I mean he’s clearly broken the first amendment more than a few times by ordering the government to pressure organizations over their right to free speech.

Also, constitutional problems with his deportation bullshit. Which he’s been ordered not to do, and yet they’re still doing it.

Oh, I’m not saying it’s going to be a good idea. I’m just saying it’s happening.

Microsoft does business with anthropic, it’s baked into multiple parts of copilot already.

This is going to get messy.

Lol, everything gonna be vibe coded here shortly. Good luck.

A lot of ai hallucinations can be resolved by simply running the results through additional prompts automatically, then checking the various results against each other or against reference material.

Many agentic systems already do that with a limited number of follow up/check steps, but they’re often restricted by acceptable response times or just sheer costs.

I managed to get copilot in excel to run a 43 prompt chain in just a little under 10 minutes the other day. The result was exactly what I needed.

If you have 73 times the output, you can potentially afford to do that kind of processing in an acceptable time frame and cost level.

Poem - Robert Frost - Stopping by woods on a snowy evening

Short story - Kurt Vonnegut - Harrison Bergeron

Movie - Life is Beautiful (do not watch this if you don’t want to cry)

Book - Carl Sagan - Contact (it’s much better than the movie)

Anime - Serial Experiments Lain

Honorable mention, Paper Tole - an ocean scene my grandmother did when I was a boy. She has written my name on the back of it for when she passes away. It’s the only thing I want. I hope I don’t get it soon, but she’s not young anymore.

Remove all humans other than yourself.

Sure, but if you know there’s a high likelihood of problems going somewhere, it’s a smart idea to avoid it.

As per the rule with cars: dead right is still dead.
