- where do you think the corpus of training data comes from?
- to be fair minecraft Java edition isn’t exactly known for having great performance. It will run on a potato, but still runs like a potato even on fast hardware.
This is also not mentioning that the by far more popular version of the game (by player count) “Minecraft Bedrock edition” is written in C++ precisely for performance reasons on low end mobile hardware
- I’ve had a similar (likely non original) thought too that eventually LLMs could lead to something more akin to a compiler that would take human language instructions and go straight to a executable binary, possibly even with more traditional compiler analysis for performance and safety etc.
But then again LLMs in their current form are trained on mountains of human language so maybe having them output human readable code makes sense at least for now
- I’ve seen so many SO and other forum posts where the first comment is someone smugly saying “just google it, silly”.
Only that, I’m not the one who posted the original question, I DID google (well DDG) it, and the results led me to someone asking the same question as me, but it only had that one useless reply
- oh man, I remember hearing about this back then and I got excited that there had been an update. From what I hear he’s gone off to college now but will hopefully be back to cooking up semiconductors once he graduates
- > Consumer electronics naming is very simple. Make a good product with a simple name. “iPhone”, “comma”, “Z Fold”. Then every year or two, add one to the number of that product. If it’s a small refresh, you can add a letter after the number. “2 3 3X 4” “4 4s 5 5s 6 …” “2 3 4 5 6 7” Why is this so hard for companies like HP?
Oh man I feel this every time there’s a games console launch. I still have no idea what the latest Xbox is called but Sony gets it right with “Playstation <N>”
Apple loses some points here since every macbook from like 2007 until 2020 was just called “Macbook pro” with no year officially in the name so you have to be really careful when eg looking at used listings for macbooks. But since the M1 it’s been good with M<1-5>

seems like it would be, just swap the openai url here or add a new one
- I got tripped up by this one (sorry for spoilers):
> Bees collect pollen from flowers and make honey. They also drive tiny cars to get from flower to flower!
The explanation given is that it’s not factually correct, therefore it’s AI slop. Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention to the instructions, but aren’t humans also capable of creating text that is not factually correct, and at times is done so not out of ignorance for for artistic or humorous purposes? This example here sounds like something that would be written by a child with an active imagination, and not likely the kind of “seems plausible but is actually false” slop that LLMs come up with.
- have you heard of the phase “like a kid in a candy store”?
there’s just something about the in store experience that’s different than online.
Microcenter is also known for having better prices than online retailers, but they don’t ship for many items
- for the OpenAI 4o model on the octopus sock puppet prompt, the prompt clearly states that each tentacle should have a sock puppet, whereas the OpenAI 4o image only has 6 puppets with 2 tentacles being puppetless. I’m not sure if we can call that a pass
- you can “remove” the notch on the Macbook by setting the resolution to one of the 16x10 aspect ratio resolutions.
Go to Settings > Displays. In the list of resolutions you need to enable “Show all resolutions” then you can select one that will hide the notch
- I would offer ‘swipe’ keyboards as one example of something new. “better” is subjective, they are certainly not faster than normal typing, but offer much more flexibility for typing with one hand. But even then they still rely on the old qwerty layout. Not sure how widely adopted they are but they come standard on IOS and Android keyboards
- that’s true, this would be pretty convenient for local environments
- I’m skeptical of “no ssh” being a benefit. I’d rather have one port opened to the battle tested ssh proc (which I probably have already anyway), than open a port to some random application.
I suppose it’s trivial to proxy a http port over ssh though so that would seem like a good solution
- I feel like we kind of got monkey’s paw’ed on USB-C. I remember during the 2000’s-2010’s people were drowning in a sea of disparate and incompatible connectors for video, audio, data, power, etc. and we’re longing for “One Port To Rule Them All” that could do everything in one cable. We kind of got that with USB-C, except now, you see a USB-C cable/port and you have no idea if it supports data only, data + charging, what speeds of data/charging, does it support video? maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. at least it can plug in both ways… most of the time
- > I tried to ask GPT-5 pro the other day to just pick an ambitious project it wanted to work on, and I’d carry out whatever physical world tasks it needed me to, and all it did was just come up with project plans which were rehashes of my prior projects framed as its own.
Mate, I think you’ve got the roles of human and AI reversed. Humans are supposed to come up with creative ideas and let machines do the tedious work of implementation. That’s a bit like asking a calculator what equations you should do or a DB what queries you should make. These tools exist to serve us, not the other way around
GPT et al. can’t “want” anything, they have no volition
- cool art! seeing datamoshing like this always impresses me at how much motion is encoded in modern video codecs
- there used to be a running joke in the AfterEffects subreddit that 95% of “What’s this effect called?” questions the answer was datamoshing. I think they even had a bot that would auto answer with datamoshing since it was asked so frequently.
- it’s gotten to the point where I’ll find myself screenshotting text and using ocr to grab links because sometimes apps disable highlighting text for whatever reason.
is there a possibility of using local llm endpoints for this?
