I wonder if the hardware is old-school, or if they put a modern microcontroller in it?

It really is an indictment of this site that any mention of the genocide in Gaza is flagged almost instantly.

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.

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!

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.

This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?
