  1. > anyone know of an iPad ssh client with mouse support?

    Prompt 3 from Panic

  2. As someone who has owned every single Apple Watch model/generation and love the hardware, I agree with GP on the terrible UX of the app grid.
  3. > it's also very much not, because it always sounds like it might be authoritative, but you could be reading something hallucinated

    I keep hearing this repeated over and over as if it’s a unique problem for AI. This is DEFINITELY true of human generated content too.

  4. > The truth is, if there was no AI tech developed, we would not need to regulate it so that greed does not take over.

    Same could be said for the Internet as we know it too. Literally replace AI with Internet above and it reads equally true. Some would argue (me included some days) we are worse off as a society ~30 years later. That’s also a legitimate case that can be made it was a huge benefit to society too. Will the same be said of AI in 2042?

  5. You aren’t missing much if you just skip it
  6. You got past the grey text on gray background? -_-
  7. The level of hallucinations with o3 are no different than the level of hallucinations from most (all?) human sources in my experience. Yes, you definitely need to cross check, but yes, you need to do that for literally everything else, so it feels a bit redundant to keep preaching that as if it’s a failing of the model and not just an inherent property of all free sharing of information between two parties.
  8. > And nobody outside those companies knows how they work.

    I think you meant to say:

    And nobody knows how they work.

  9. The saying goes:

    From 90% to 99% is a 10x reduction in error rate, but 99% to 99.999% is a 1000x decrease in error rates.

  10. People (including me) said this for a long time about Yahoo! too. Kinda ironic they both merged and basically died together…

    Yawho!?

  11. > The bandwidth between macs isn't enough to do inference effectively.

    While it’s certainly no where near the memory bandwidth, 80Gbps is on par with most high end, but still affordable, machine to machine connections. Then add on the fact you can have hundreds of gigabytes of shared ram on each machine.

  12. Boring as the noun, not adjective. Also, Tesla was named that before Musk was involved, so it’s not his humor involved in naming both. Nikola Tesla is known for a lot more than just Tesla coils.
  13. From source article…

    > For example, a lot of that 1.3 MW went into cooling the system and handling the hydrogen flow used to prevent contamination build up.

  14. > This is the power consumed by the light source for one photo tool on one line.

    Actually, it’s not if you read the linked article. Try harder with your indignant reply next time to an entirely factual post. Sheesh!

    Further, here’s a >one hundred megawatt generator installation (yes, used, but it’s always call for quote otherwise online) for a small fraction of the price of the EUV machine in case I need to further prove my point.

    https://www.uspeglobal.com/listings/1705462-used-100-mw-2004...

    There’s also multiple GE LMS100 generators installed in Texas and they each provide ~115MW of power. So not unprecedented for installation in the state either!

  15. Yep, you did the simple math. 2MW generators are rather common place, they even come in portable (as in on a trailer) form.
  16. Thanks for sharing the link! 1.3MW really isn’t that high of a load though. Thats a very straightforward load to be able to support via diesel generators. As an example, a typical large datacenter uses an order of magnitude more power, yet stays online following a grid outage.
  17. But the type signature of:

    int -> int

    Is wrong. At minimum it’s:

    Optional[int] -> int

    Because you provided a default value so clearly it’s not required to provide an input parameter. It’s also wrong to assume `0` is an int. There’s other valid types it could be. If the default was say `42`, I’d be pushing back a little less (outside of the Optional part), but this contrived example from GP had 0, which is ambiguous on what the inferred typing must be.

  18. > and, obviously, the inferred type (int -> int) is correct.

    No it’s not. It’s Optional[int] -> int at minimum. There are other completely valid signatures beyond that too.

  19. 1) the code you wrote isn’t Python.

    2) inferring the type is int isn’t guaranteed to be correct in this case

  20. Because it shouldn’t in function arguments. The one defining the function should be responsible enough to know what input they want and actually properly type it. Assuming an int or number type here is wrong (it could be optional int for example).
  21. So you want strong typing, but then are to lazy to properly type your function definitions?
  22. Yet you still reply again! Guess you put zero value in your own advice, got it!
  23. Yet you chose to reply-all-unsubscribe line noise further. Maybe take your own advice and move on bro.
  24. It actually didn’t help at all. Read the part quoted again, OP specifically indicated .us, not “root zone”. The registrar for .us (GoDaddy) is in fact the “root dns for .us”
  25. > A human WILL NOT make up non-existent facts

    Categorically not true and there’s so many examples of this in every day practice that I can’t help but feel you’re saying this to disprove your own statement.

  26. Until Yahoo! broke the news, did you know anything about Google’s involvement with PRISM?
  27. > The creators of this algorithm note that it can enumerate all tic-tac-toe games in just over a second!

    This is achievable in most languages, no?

  28. > At the time I thought their approach was clinically insane

    Let’s be clear, it’s still clinically insane, even if marginally rationalized.

  29. > With LLMs, we can give the exact same instructions, and not be guaranteed the same code.

    Set temperature appropriately, that problem is then solved, no?
