multimodality would be very useful, but on the other hand humans can't see infrared, and can't smell ~most things that other animals can

> people only do it when there's no API

Legitimate scrapers, maybe. Everyone else does it to circumvent the API limitations, by posing as real traffic. APIs imply API keys which can be traced and banned.

this is fairly easy to test for yourself. What did you try?

this also implies that you can train for more sustained intensity, which I think is absolutely true. You can become a brilliant engineer by finding the right balance of intensity and R&R, assuming this is what you want

As usual, journalists trying to explain what scientists do and misrepresenting the facts.

The paper mentions accuracy i.e. (true positives + true negatives) / total examples. And it's actually 100% accurate i.e. there are no false positives _or_ false negatives.

But the big caveats are:

1. this was tested only on 180 examples, which is a very very small dataset to draw conclusions on, and

2. this is obviously an adversarial space so any classifier will be obsolete with the next training run

I'm bearish on any attempt to distinguish real content vs. AI generated content (on any medium, text, image or anything else). This is an adversarial game and the AIs can incorporate your fancy algorithm to fool you better. In the end these projects only end up improving the AI models in terms of realism.

well, to be fair, the app store has ads in search. When you search for app X, you're likely to see its competitor Y as the first result. (Though this is obviously not Jobs' doing.)

Nice. I'd be super interested in deeper AI integrations for note taking apps, to help you reach certain goals, e.g.:

- calorie counting or diets: just write down what you ate, and it should be good enough to compute calories, macros etc.

- gym logging: write down when you went to the gym and what you did, and it should give you tips, help you maintain your routine and other helpful things

I'm pretty sure wget has plenty more users in addition to Stallman

This is what they claim:

We did no specific training for these exams. A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training, but we believe the results to be representative—see our technical report for details.
