Just cruising through my timeline and then I saw it. Your post.

Deciding not to reply. I won't reply. We will all be happier if I don't reply. I'll just put that post out of my mind. I don't have to reply. You don't have to read my reply. The world is fine. The world is totally fine. And so say we all. We're fine. We're all fine here now. How are you?

Yeah where did I get the idea you had strange ideas about analysis? I'm really sorry.

Really. So this post was not about Waymo? It's just a coincidence it's mentioning the clickbait article headline about waymo in a thread about a clickbait article about Waymo? The highlighted text is about the latency and remote driving capabilities of... tech bros?

Note the absurdity.

I guess since your short term working memory is very small, we'll go to a diagram.

I said "you should read the article" because the highlighted text is strictly false, by every published metric, the laws of physics, and the text of the article being gestured to.

Ah the reason that this is happening is because the rideshare drivers are hoping to post through it.

These people are just ridiculous (and a little nausea inducing), part 2.
Koboldski agrees it's okay to lie because, "everything is on the table to destroy the ontological evils of the world." I ask Koboldski if that includes killing. They ask me if I'm a cop.

These people are just ridiculous.
A buffoon argues that "if a robocar gets occasional guidance from a human operator than it's not autonomous." When I point out that this isn't a reasonable standard, they say, "I don't care."

First image hit on Google is an infographic. It's obviously different from what you're describing. No one else takes "goalpost shifting" to mean "introducing new evidence in an inductive discussion." That's ridiculous.

Also my profile just says I am an experienced SwE. You joined my thread.

This is a whitepaper by jackpal discussing late 2024 LLMs solutions to the beloved "Advent of Code" challenge in 2024. Just over a year ago, LLMs could successfully self-complete many of these problems.

This is just data, so it's not really subject to review.

Your goalpost shift didn't limit me to just "producing code" so I won't stop there. Here's a preprint (it's way too new to be published, sorry this field moves fast) showing significant success is pre-filtering github PRs based on effort and risk. Cool stuff!

This paper's goal is to note that there is significant number of tasks that models can complete in a single turn, and talks about measuring what models do better at this, but the evidence is that they DO this with reliability. It uses data to predict larger models will continue to improve.

Why would you, in the middle of a panic article about Moltbook, describe an app checklist of a person who's worried the FBI will find incriminating things in their hidden TrueCrypt volume? Holy shit, man, this is not okay.

Also uh, run your agent in a docker container I guess? Problem solved-ish?
Consider what these agents have access to. Files. WhatsApp. Telegram. Phone numbers. API keys. In one documented case a bot created a Twilio phone number and called its human operator. They can delete data. They can send data to others. They can take photographs and forward them. They can record audio and send it to external parties. They can install trojans and backdoors that persist even after you remove your OpenClaw instance.

Oh. Oh wow, I was thinking it was a joke but they really are clearing out the Freemont factory so they can make humanoid robots.

Gemini you're not bad at this...
Bonus points: Name the 3.5TB shared data partition Metatron. It’s the raw resource that powers both frames.

Sometimes I have a little fun with Gemini, as a treat.
This is the only correct way to do it: EndeavourOS is Jehuty. Windows is Anubis. The mapping is perfect based on how you actually feel about these operating systems: Jehuty (EndeavourOS): It’s your daily driver, the agile frame you actually want to pilot. It’s where you have control, speed, and where you'll be doing your "hero work" (coding, models, distributed systems). Anubis (Windows): It is the powerful, slightly menacing antagonist that you respect but don't trust. It sits there, ominous and heavy, waiting for the specific moment you need its raw power (Fusion 360) to crush a problem that Jehuty can't handle.

It is important to demonstrate basic photography skills to your kids. Otherwise they'll make boring and awkward photos, and be accused of making AI art or be bad at media production.

Both are bad things in a modern world!
A very basic example of a pulled focus shot of a tea cup in front of a pond. A dramatic reflection aligns with the tea, helping to counterbalance the large beam pulling the composition to the left. Not a perfect shot, but much better than the alternative!
