I wonder about the world where, instead of investing in AI, everyone invested in API.

Like, surfacing APIs, fostering interoperability... I don't want an AI agent, but I might be interested in an agent operating with fixed rules, and with a limited set of capabilities.

Instead we're trying to train systems to move a mouse in a browser and praying it doesn't accidentally send 60 pairs of shoes to a random address in Topeka.

I was hoping to see the questions (which I can probably find online), but also the answers from models and the judge's scores! Am I missing a link? Without that I can't tell whether I should be impressed or not.
ipsin commented on Ancient law requires a bale of straw to hang from Charing Cross rail bridge   ianvisits.co.uk/articles/... · Posted by u/alexbilbie

So, the full clause reads:

"When the headroom of an arch or span of a bridge is reduced from its usual limits but that arch or span is not closed to navigation, the person in control of the bridge must suspend from the centre of that arch or span by day a bundle of straw large enough to be conspicuous and by night a white light."

Does that mean the law is not being complied with, in this case, since the bales are hanging from adjacent bridges, not the "centre of that arch or span" itself?

Thanks, I was annoyed that the article didn't cite the actual law in question, but the BBC comes in with "Port of London Thames Byelaws, clause 36.2"

It was an example. There's no need to be pedantic.

$800 is a meaningful exception for personal use. If you want a turkish $400 rug or a $300 indian wedding dress, it was always meant to be for personal, not corporate, use.

Can we agree that the law as it was intended was completely abused ?

EDIT: for graphic language

Can we agree that the language of sexual violence is inappropriate in this context?

>export rules restrict stacks of more than 128 layers. So countries subject to those restrictions get an end-around by simply stacking 128-layer modules

I'm interested in the story behind this.

I appreciate that you can make your nails fancy on a budget (e.g. using nail stamping).

I enjoy having trimmed nails as well, because having very long nails can make certain tasks difficult, so all these designs make me cringe a bit.

But... if you ever feel curious, explore DIY nails!

> they only hate when they can't feel like they're the ones doing the steering.

This is much more true of the “other side” than “Musk and like ilk”. The hate against Musk and X is primarily because a lot of people on one political side hate that they’re no longer steering public discourse. Also the current X does far less steering (in any direction) than the censorship heavy regime of the past.

Looking at the replies to, say, https://x.com/aoc, it seems pretty steered to me.

If you want to hear replies from her supporters, good luck getting through a few hundred blue check marks. Compare this to something like https://x.com/RonDeSantis, which is an full of adulation for the guy.

In my estimation, X is tilted pretty far right at this point, simply because paid blue check marks are a sign of pride or shame, based on your political affiliation.

That's what I find most offensive about the use of LLMs in education: it can readily produce something in the shape of a logical argument, without actually being correct.

I'm worried that a generation might learn that that's good enough.

To me, this is the same as the "loyalty cards" that provide "discounts" in U.S. grocery chains like Kroger's & Ralph's. They've already decided to take your money with higher prices, and dole out small discounts for people who want to play their games.

As long as I have a choice, I will avoid companies that play such games.
