“Solve computer use” and previous work is audio conversation model. How do these go together? Is the idea to replace keyboard and mouse with spoken commands? a la Star Trek

The gap between us and the chimpanzees is, at the same time, "tantalizingly small" and "too big".

We have learnt to communicate with them, but they also don't seem to ask questions, at least not the way that humans do.

There is obvious intelligence in their eyes and deliberation in their movements, but they seem to be content with an almost static culture. Which was also true for the Neanderthals.

What was the last subtle mutation that prodded our species onto the road of intellectual curiosity?

We still don't know.

So many unsubstantiated claims, you find this pattern in someone infected with exceptionalism.

Sad news. She lived an amazing life. I'll never forget seeing her and Nathan Myhrvold greet each other like chimps at a book signing in Seattle.

You mean greet each other like a chimp and a baboon.

Sonnet/Claude Code may technically be "smarter", but Qwen3-Coder on Cerebras is often more productive for me because it's just so incredibly fast. Even if it takes more LLM calls to complete a task, those calls are all happening in a fraction of the time.

We must have very different workflows, I am curious about yours. What tools are you using and how are you guiding Qwen3-Coder? When I am using Claude Code, it often works for 10+ minutes at a time, so I am not aware of inference speed.

I am sorry you that's how it looks...can't argue with feelings, We did everything we could to give credit. Open source SW should be a stack and every project needs a proper name as a reference. I do find the statement a bit ironic though, b/c 99% of Yosys users don't know that 99% of the logic synthesis sauce in Yosys is done by ABC.

I think it unlikely any of this applies, since Kimmel is nominally a comedian.

We have to hold comedians to highest possible journalistic standard while allowing Fox News to be entertainment. This country runs on double standards.

He does appear to have a strong bias in past statements, although I don't know how rigorous this analysis is.

"A separate study from the organization claimed that 92 percent of the jokes Kimmel made on his show since January 2023 were at the expense of conservatives, and 97 percent of his political guests were left-leaning."

And? He is comedian that runs a late night show.

Why do we hold women and comedians to some sort of high standard but there is a whole montage of right wing grifters actively calling for liberal lives?

And it wasn't even a joke, it was a statement about what was going on. It isn't even about what he said, or even Kimmel. Unless he wasn't slathering all over the fake mythos of white washing this Kimmels racist, bigoted hateful grift, the right was going to go after him for literally anything.

Kimmel's crime is laughing at Trump and pointing out his brain dead hypocrisy.

This is it, the whole thing. https://youtu.be/U6NJJ0FcvYY?t=252

Brendan Carr is overwhelmingly partisan and suprisingly unqualified for the role he occupies as the Chair of the FCC. Anyone paying attention to his actions over his time in office is not surprised by this outcome. Carr has been regularly going on podcasts and threatening that the FCC will be "going after" anyone unfavorable to the Trump administration, this is just the first time a company flinched in response. Im happy to hear Disney is rethinking their reflexive reaction.

Its deeply troubling to see the priorities of the FCC shift from expanding things like access to broadband to instead prioritize podcast appearances and fascistic threats. Expect more of this, as Carr seems to only be emboldened by the outcome.

Carr needs to leave. It isn't his job to police the political airwaves.

They don’t penalize browsers for not being Chrome – Safari users almost never see those, because their devices support a protocol for attesting real hardware with a real user, in what is hopefully a privacy-preserving manner:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/eliminating-captchas-on-iphones-...

That’s the underlying problem here: web sites are constantly getting suspicious traffic and if you do something like using Tor or a “free” VPN, the owners of those sites are probably going to ask companies like Cloudflare to validate or block you rather than try to tell whether you’re a bot.

Anyone concerned with privacy really needs to be focused on that problem because most site owners care more about not going broke than supporting browsers or privacy tools which few of their customers use. It’s destroying the open web.

So you are saying they don't penalize browser from not being Chrome and then link to a specific mechanism that they are allow listing Safari. That goes directly counter to what you are claiming.

I have seen it myself, from my own system. Firefox, almost impossible to use the web due to non-stop bot checks by CF. For the same session, same site(s), I give up and use Chrome, with all the same browser extensions, and I sail right in. Multiple times.

Suspicious traffic is using Firefox, because Chrome browsers are 90%+ of the traffic. And the rich mac users have a special mechanism for bypassing them as your article outlines.

Using Firefox is the internet equivalent of DWB.

How about Cloudflare stops penalizing non-chrome browsers with elevated rates of bot checks and captchas?
