estimated 32% prevalence among cannabis users

113 cases documented worldwide

never heard of it despite your social circle being mostly daily smokers of high-thc weed

Lol definitely not a propaganda thing, and all of us 339 pot smokers should be worried

I am french so super biased, but I think the joke is that nobody really hates the French so we’re eligible to be joke-hated.

Once I was driving home on the highway and Google maps suggested I get off at the next exit. Sometimes there’s heavy traffic at the entrance of my city so I figured it would make me save a few minutes by approaching from another angle.

Nope, it made me take the exit, drive a kilometer in a dead end then turn a roundabout, drive back and enter the highway exactly where I exited it.

I love that their moat has been bridged by open models as soon as it was dug. At the current rate, you just have to wait six or nine months and open models will be at opus 4.6 level which is really all you need for most applications. After this I don’t see how the big labs could ever recoup their losses.

That’s not really what’s happening they’ve been trimming a lot of middle manager fat too

This reminds me of Barney Stinson

You don’t hire interns for productivity

Because it’s unethical. I’ve been in business for 10+ years but i never hired an intern because i don’t find it fair to make someone work for less than minimum wage, and i don’t have the structure required to really teach them anything. I have bad fundamentals and only ever learnt by doing, so having an intern while it may help me wouldn’t really help them and that’s not a deal i’m willing to make. Probably why i’m not super successful lol

That being said, i don’t see any problem with making a GPU cry somewhere in California for my menial tasks. And it’s tremendously effective too, for a hundred bucks a month i get a lot of shit done that would take me ages. I don’t give it access to anything critical so it can’t fuck my shit up and i come out on top as long as the tokens are subsidized by dumb VC money.

Yup it’s one of those examples where the mystery is way better than the contrived answer.

For me the sweet spot is decisions that are trivial once you have the information at hand, but collecting the information is painful. Anything that requires strategic thinking I’ll do myself because what is your edge if you only take average strategic decisions?

Really interested to see this proof if you have a link handy. Do you have any idea why it doesn’t apply to human cognition ?

I think there’s a misconception about what AGI is. The point of a “smarter” model is not that it knows all the facts, that would be wasteful as it is trivial to look up facts at inference time. The point is that a “smarter” model can generalize solutions to out of distribution problems (meaning problems that are not explicitly stated in its training corpus). So AGI wouldn’t be about a model that knows everything about language and every advancement in every field, but rather a model that is better than humans at finding solutions to problems (and fetching information from outside sources when it doesn’t know enough about a field to operate a solution).

The point about context is kind of irrelevant here as training data is not part of the inference context so you “add intelligence” to a model by re-training a new one, not by cramming the context of an existing one.

Honestly I’m as smooth brained as any other vibe coder but even I know not to give it access to my production infrastructure.

As if a 90$/month intern wasn’t a good deal lol

I remember when return of the Jedi was broadcast for the first time on public tv, the next day 100% of the kids were playing light sabers at school. It was the original dub so we had some names wrong (Yan solo and for some reason Z6PO) , and being kids in sure most of the plot had gone over our heads but man, those lightsaber battles 🤌

In my experience I’ve mostly seen it used for a local equivalent of S3 to plop in your dev environment. It’s pretty good if your prod depends on S3 and you don’t want to deal with the cost and latency of using actual S3 buckets during development.

I’ll bring the cigarettes 🥦

I’m picturing some John wick character who legitimately finds himself in tons of car chases and ticking time bomb scenarios

First rule of warfare is to secure all critical locations after all

But why are they being poked with pointy sticks?

I’ve worked my whole career in European tech and I’ve never heard the term sovereignty as much as since 2025. There was an undercurrent certainly, and people were keenly aware that technically the US government could look at their data whenever they felt like it, but it was still natural to plop your infrastructure on AWS or azure and not think too much about it.

Things have really accelerated since he took office, first in the public sector then in the private sector. The burden of proof has kind of reversed, I’ve started hearing a lot of “what specific service do you need on AWS that you can’t have on a European server” whereas it used to be “why don’t we just take AWS”.
