  • About 10 years ago I was walking in lower Manhattan and traffic was bad. I kept up with a Google maps car for about 10 blocks. So for about a year I was in 10 consecutive blocks of street view, always in about the same place. Should have screenshotted it. Sadly it’s long gone now.

  • What do you think of the book Fahrenheit 451?

    Jump

  • I love F451, and it’s usually the book I recommend to people who want to get into serious/thought-provoking reading. It’s quite short for a novel and very approachable, the vocabulary isn’t too complex, the characters are easy to get into, and the story is compelling — it’s basically a light thriller. But when you put it down you can’t help but think, “wow, I just read something really important”

  • Yeah, we've definitely been seeing diminishing returns with the latest frontier models. I think that's why when GLM and Kimi come in at 1/5 the price of Opus but are just as good, or when Deepseek comes in at 1/10 the price and is catching up quickly, they have to worry. There may be nowhere for them to go.

  • Yope raises $12.3M to build a private social network without algorithms or ads

  • That's weird. I'm running FF with noscript and ublock origin and am able to read it. But anyway to answer your question it looks like they will have basic and premium user/group types, with the latter being paid.

  • [Opinion] China's 2026 pivot to open-source AI is a calculated geopolitical strategy to bypass US semiconductor controls, embed censorship, and dominate the global AI ecosystem

    Jump

  • I’d love to see some kind of breakdown of how LLMs get used. For a lot of the things I use it for there just isn’t that much room for ideological wiggling because what I need is rooted in objective reality. But for soft science/humanities tasks it’s clear to see how ideological impositions could be pushed (it happens with plain-paper textbooks too).

  • Apocalypse Bunker Fails as Wealthy Residents Turn on Each Other

    Jump

  • Yep, though we know of bands of hundreds of people who persisted for a long time and at least a few examples of proto-cities with thousands and a much less pronounced division of labor (or at much less pronounced evidence of the trappings that tend to go along with things like kings and a class system). The prevailing assumption right now is that they must have been working more “together” than not.
