That's 29min 4sec after breathing pure oxygen.

The record for regular air is 11min 35sec.

Pretty impressive either way.

How is it even possible to hold breath for 11 minutes? I tried it last week (to avoid inhaling insecticide fumes) and could manage about a minute after trying very hard.

It would be trivial to change the joke, keep the setup and get a similar effect without a pun.

I asked for one random number

And?

He told me two

I like the joke

Isn't this a pun too? It could mean that he gave you two random numbers or two as the random number.

On one hand, you're starving a competitor (Huawei) of cash and using China's own money to fund US innovation. Genius, maybe? On the other, you're handing them the tools to level up their entire tech tree. I honestly can't decide. What's the fatal flaw I'm missing here?

China won't abandon developing indigenous technology just because they are able to gain access to American GPUs

Because you can script terminal app (ideally, at least you can do that with opencode.ai) and that opens some amazing opportunities.

How and why would one script things like this? I thought the process was basically just talking to the agent and telling it what you want to do and reviewing the changes before they are committed.

Why are all these coding agents being created as terminal applications? Feels like the kind of thing that the tech industry would publish as an electron app.

And to think it could have been Grok

Imagine if Grok was created as a foil to make AI adoption more acceptable

As a permanently amateur photographer my favourite aspect of this comparison is portrait photographs. Beginner cropped frame DSLRs with a high aperture prime lens take so much better portrait pictures than any phone camera. Now I understand that it is not really fair to compare a specialised equipment with a phone camera. But it is a testament to how timeless and beautiful a prime len's bokeh is. Phones try to simulate it with depth estimation but it never looks good to me.

I wish each LLM provider would add "be short and not verbose" to their system prompts. I am a slow reader, it takes a toll on me to read through every non-important detail whenever I talk to an AI. The way they render everything so fast gives me an anxiety.

Will also reduce the context rot a bit.

Yeah these chatbots are by default geared towards doing your work for you instead of filling the gaps in your knowledge (something they would be excellent at). I feel it must be symptomatic of the vision these vendors have for their products, one of fully autonomous replacements for workers rather than of tools to enhance the worker.
