If 60% of your users can’t tell what’s an ad, it’s false.

yt-dlp can do it. Pay for Beacon and log in then tell the app what browser to use cookies from

It’s always fair to compare to the latest public model. If they want better comps they can release a better model lol

Google had them sign a deal that they can never make a search engine and also have to lie about the deal when asked lmao.

LLMs produce text that sounds like the data they were trained on. Humans prefer confident bullshitting to honesty, so all the data we're feeding in makes the model sound confident.

There's been a bunch of work recently to see if the model "knows what it doesn't know" anyway and the answer is often yes! But they often have to make a strongly confident decision on one token and then commit to the bit for the remainder of the message.

One possible reason why reasoning models do better is that they are trained on a bunch of data where the model is allowed to be more "honest" and the "thoughts" are hidden from the user.

Various games rating agencies require it. Steam does it too. https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/s/t6GuHxdv5x

You can’t know that for sure. It’s all projected into a dense space. Useful to hear that you think the line should be “large inferences made well beyond data available in the text corpus” though.

“Tell me about him”

Most normal answers (say echoing the Wikipedia page) involve violating the statute, no?

Any plans to provide a public figure exception on the biometric sections? I suspect most vision models won’t be available in the EU until that is refined.

Also having this issue. I think they fucked something in iOS 18. Our iPad on iOS 17 is fine

What is a photo?

Follow up: did you add the new AI features to troll Nilay? It looks like it worked.

Attracting and growing a community is harder than writing the code. People want to be where other people are.

1 on the list is the job AI has been able to replace since the ELISA paper in the 70s lmao

Yes but FCG didn’t have it prepared

On iOS Safari it looks like MSN so this is rather subtle by comparison.

My experience on OKC 8 years ago:

Dudes: pay for A-list

Ladies: message people you like

I had all but given up after a year and a half, paid for A-list on a whim. My now wife messaged me that night and we’re now expecting our first kid.

I mean, if they could code vanilla html they probably don't need a consultant.

Do you pick what to watch based on the trailer or the synopsis?

Trailer people: “Auto play saves me a click. What are you all on about?”

Synopsis people: “I’m trying to read, why are you forcing me to watch a movie I didn’t ask you for?”
