Cool. Makes me want to get into that — checking out sites for vulnerabilities. Very impressive for a 16 year old. Should definitely have been paid more.

In my opinion, the issue in AI is similar to the issue in self driving cars. I think the last “five percent” of functionality for agents etc. will be much, much more difficult to nail down for production use, just like snow weather and strange roads proved to be much more difficult for self-driving car technology rollout. They got to 95% and assumed they were nearing completion but it turned out there was even more work to be done to get to 100%. That’s kind of my take on all the AI hype. It’s going to take a lot more work to get the final five percent done.

There's a bunch of CSS, etc. not supported by that. It would be great to have access to a native API to get bitmaps of the DOM.

What the hell is happening to our country :(

First AI model to pass my test on the first try (I used o3-mini-high).

Prompt: Write an interpreter for a simple but practical scripting language. Write the interpreter in JavaScript to be run on the Node.JS platform. You can import any of the standard Node.JS modules.

Churned out ~750 lines and a sample source code file to run the interpreter on. Ran on the first try completely correctly.

Definitely a step up. Perhaps it's in the training data. I don't know. But no other model has ever produced an error-free and semantically correct program on the first try, and I don't think any ever managed to implement closures.

Whether it’s a journal, a university, a tech company… never take it personally because there’s bureaucracy, policies, etc and information lost in the operation of the whole process. Cast a wide net and believe in the value you’ve created or bring.

Could someone explain the point to me? I read the post and still don’t quite understand. I remember CRTs looked smoother when pixels were still noticeable in (o)led displays. Is it to effectively lower the frame rate?

Maybe if they stopped the endless reboots, remakes, sequels and derivatives. There’s still a good one every once in a while. Oh well, I know what movie I’m watching today… you’ll shoot your eye out, kid!

That’s very interesting. However it’s like any of the organizations that support competitors at elite levels in all sports. From the doctors, nutritionists, coaches that support Olympic athletes to the “high command” of any NFL team coordinating over headset with one another and the coach, who can even radio the quarterback on the field (don’t think there is another sport with this).

You’d think the ability to set up elaborate tricks would imply similar knowledge of the game. And also that highly skilled AI would implicitly include adversarial strategies. Interesting result.

It could be that it “assumed” you meant “from China”; in the higher level patterns it learns the imperfection of human writing and the approximate threshold at which mistakes are ignored vs addressed by training on conversations containing these types of mistakes; e.g Reddit. This is just a thought. Try saying: As an astronaut in Chinese territory; or as an astronaut on Chinese soil. Another test would be to prompt it to interpret everything literally as written.

Finally. I had been waiting for something like this.

There is SO much bloat in all the “modern” UI “culture”. Reinventing things over and over again. Creating entire frameworks for tiny, simple things. And the worst part of web UIs is that (though there have been efforts to address this) there is low regularity between the experiences especially compared to native UI apps where you are purposely restricted to a set of controls which look and behave the same across all apps that use them.

Also why companies dogfood and have internal betas for products (when this is possible; i.e., you’re not making something for enterprises or other kinds of customers). The sense of ownership you’re talking about may not be as direct but stake in success of the product is there.
