I don't doubt it. Living spaces are generally designed around the able-bodied, and everyone who is that stops being that eventually. Things you could easily navigate at 30 or 50 are things that will get you at 75 and above. Quoting @ninjamonkky.bsky.social Apparently area rugs are also agents of the Grimm reaper, statistically dangerous over a certain age. Related

Interesting 'RSI' data. However, it tells us nothing about the extent to which Claude is actually accelerating the pace of progress on AI. In the Mythos 5.1 system card Anthropic stated that AI tools progress had been essential to maintaining their current rate of progress. Quoting @AnthropicAI AI systems are getting more powerful, and they're increasingly being used to build the next version of themselves. We want to illuminate that progress for the public. Today, we're sharing three measurements that help track AI development: 1. How much AI R&D is done by AI. 2. How well AI agents are… Anthropic Related

Also today: Claude Docs, Claude Slides, and Claude Design are in every conversation. Ask Claude for a presentation and you get one you can open, edit, and export as PowerPoint or PDF. Same for a document or a design. There's no separate tool to navigate to. They're just in the chat. Quoting @claudeai You can also now make decks, docs, and designs in your conversation. Draft the one-pager in Claude Docs, turn it into a deck with Claude Slides, and mock up a matching visual in Claude Design, all from one place. Anthropic Related

AI research engineer working on large language models. He writes the Ahead of AI newsletter and is the author of Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).
Since I had to discuss the "pacing" with a lot of people this weekend, here are my two cents: I don't think pacing literally means that these companies will be "slowing down" training and development in any way. "Pacing" here means adding a framework for more checks. We have seen some of that "pacing" already in recent months, when Mythos wasn't released as-is but instead a delayed, nerfed Fable variant was released. Or when Astra wasn't released right away / there is an existing Astra model that hasn't been released yet. These Mythos/Fable and Astra pacing decisions were ad hoc. If you are a… Related

every model provider should learn from meta's pricing model for muse spark, with fully transparent subsidization labeled for the contributor tier stop doing "in order to use our model at a good price, you must use our harness which secretly collects your data and/or upload your codebase" meta clearly proved there's a way to collect training data without relying on a harness. just be transparent about when you collect data vs not, clearly communicate how much the data is worth, and give the choice to the user and i really don't need your harness. i already have SO MANY state of the art harness… Related

It’s amazing to see people discover the joy of making your own personal-scale software. Interestingly most of what at least I see on my timeline is art/entertainment, not productivity software. I have a growing suspicion that existing productivity software is quickly becoming a “middle man” (which means their days are numbered.) Someone says “but people use email, I need to do email” — what they mean is people communicate and that’s true, but it being email or as text on a screen is kind of irrelevant on a human level. The economy of software is moving so quickly right now that it’s hard to e… Related

I've had to "unlock" my developer Apple ID once every 5 days on average for the past three months, and once per day for the past three days. Each time I do it, I have to perform a delicate dance to navigate what seems to be some kind of request throttling that gives me HTTP 503 responses during the unlock process, making it impossible to complete its several steps. Then my session times out and I have to start over. I've been trying to unlock my ID for about an hour so far this morning… Related

part of the goal of programs is to communicate intent to other human beings and now to models as well which which is a much more open-ended problem. We understand a lot more about how to communicate to other human beings whether we apply that understanding or not. We don't understand at all how to communicate effectively to models

Not having much luck with either of them to be honest. I can see lots of #meshtastic nodes from my home, but can't reliably communicate with any of them, and public channel is mostly silent. Not enough #meshcore coverage in my area for a fair try. Anyone else meshing in Portland? Related

Well, what we realized really early is that quantity of employees doesn't translate the quality of the product they produce. In many cases, it's the opposite. If you have too many people, they have to coordinate their efforts, constantly communicate, and 90% of their time will be spent on coordinating the small pieces of work they're responsible for between each other.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
