Sometimes you’re not even allowed to even suggest that AI might be a thing that exists

It’s healthy to change mind in light of new evidence. AI has improved since GPT 3 days - in particular in coding tasks.

“This is a BIG merge window,” he wrote in his weekly state of the kernel update, as it contains almost 20,000 commits compared to the usual ~15,000 that developers submit for a new cut of the kernel.

Great to see so much momentum!

Anti-intellectuals think science is like in the movies: write gibberish on a chalkboard and time travel is suddenly invented. “Who needs experiments? My equation is correct!”

Wake me up when their AI can propose and conduct novel scientific experiments.

Maths is an “easy” target for AI because it’s self contained. It’s easier to brute force training data in mathematics when there’s no external forces.

Can’t have that cheat code in science, unless they let their models study the behavior of real ant colonies as part of their reinforcement learning process.

All the revenue is carried by Nvidia and Micron.

Future dystopia: AI vendors may refuse to serve certain individuals, which will make them unemployable because no company wants to hire people who are locked out of AI access.

90% of brits probably don’t know about Ubuntu.

Once is a mistake. Twice is jazz.

I prefer Java style:

entity.position = entity.position.add(entity.velocity.scale(dt));

Not hard to read.

I think I’ve only encountered clearly anti AI people twice IRL. What I found kinda ironic is how they both parroted the same anti AI talking points I’ve already seen online multiple times.

Operator overloads is something that sounds like a good idea until you experience them firsthand. Just properly name your functions for fuck’s sake.
