I'd love to give it a spin if you ever publish it.

I had the same kneejerk reaction to the title, but reading the article reveals that it's instead an investigation into how despite clicking the reject button, some advertising tags have already fired/will fire the next time the site is loaded, not honoring the user's choice. It's not yet another complaint about having to see banners.

I don't think older/busier people who regularly fall prey to scams even in the current system would be thrilled to assume more responsibility for their financial safety.

You are correct, sorry. I should verify stuff like this before posting.

I seem to recall the leaked Liang Wenfeng speech gave a figure of 8-12(?) months of inference recouping the training costs of the model.

> Maybe the answer is to partner LLMs with Common Lisp

Autolith (https://autolith.rocks/) and some other CL-based harnesses allow the LLM to modify their own harness within the session.

Sorry, I really was thinking of the order of operations wrong!

When testing I got a question asking what -3² is, with the intended answer being -9 instead of 9.

For "Solitaire Together" instead, I recommend the game NERTS (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1131190/NERTS_Online/). It's a multiplayer competitive solitaire game by Zachtronics. Out of all the games I've played, it's the one that stresses me out and takes me through emotional rollercoasters the most.

Even in the quote given in this article, most instances of the word "word" are "logos" in Greek, which means something closer to speech, argument, reasoning, logic, etc. This doesn't really change the meaning of the quote dramatically, but some slight nuance is lost.

I'd like to hear how this compares to Ada/SPARK.

Interesting article to share on the eve of yesterday's debacle about the Navier-Stokes problem.

Maybe another quote to add to the list is about Bob Widlar (from https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/bob-widlar-silicon-val...):

> In 1965, Widlar left Fairchild to work at National Semiconductor. While there, he released his design for the industry’s first high-power voltage regulator, the LM109. This finding came at a time when engineers hotly debated whether it was possible to develop a high-power regulator on a single chip.

> Widlar, established as an engineering genius in 1969, wrote a paper settling the debate, claiming temperature swings and packaging limitations made the device impossible. The industry took his word for it and stopped all efforts to build such a device. However, in 1970, Widlar shocked his contemporaries with the 20-W LM109, the industry’s first high-power voltage regulator. The device included all of the features Widlar had claimed were impossible just one year prior.

A toilet that has a door with a countdown seems like the most stress-inducing thing ever.
