the graniuad australia is decent at de-Britishification and is generally pretty good with it, even on matters near and dear to the national British spirit (i.e. TERFs)
sometimes I read SCMP to keep abreast of developments in Asia, but not often

i love the ideas behind plan9 but seeing rob pike's later work makes me think it was probably for the best that it ended up like this

excited to read your take on this :>

seems a bit dicey because you could always detokenise? my understanding is that it has to be an irreversible transformation; when I write an essay, collage words, or, yes, train a model, I can't get the original work back: but that's not true of tokenisation

D, for the same reason that CGI slop doesn't discount the entire field of CGI

roborock could sell even more roombas if you could put a leash on it and have it cutely follow you around

> The Purple Rain is priced at US$99,000, which is the same as earlier versions of the model and also fair considering the unusual aesthetic and high quality construction.
"fair"
(and for me to be fair, I do actually like its design, but I would need for a few zeroes to be wiped off)

yeah, will probably switch to that at some point

I avoid bringing it up when it's not relevant because I realise the primary impact it has is to make me, personally, look like a cringe loser hanging onto past successes. your experience should speak for itself

Opus with web search turned on doesn't even use it: claude.ai/share/9a7dc9...

it's also sourcing ResearchGate / OpenReview / arXiv etc, so it's not over-indexing on UGC / SEO slop

for reference, o3, which does implicit web search as part of its CoT (I don't love that you can't turn this off, but it is quite effective...): chatgpt.com/share/68544c...
I don't know enough to evaluate the answer here, but it looks correctly-shaped, including the request for clarification

but what's the problem with having the model do its own research to situate itself before producing its answer?

that's still an algorithm!

interesting quote from an Anthropic interpretability researcher with regards to what the model does when it encounters a problem that it goes "idk" at, from www.dwarkesh.com/p/sholto-tre...
ideally it would not do this, but we're learning how and why, and we can hopefully address it in future

just saw this, do you have any details / examples of how it looks? have followed Grace from a distance for the last few years and am curious how its prompt engineering form looks

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. Which MCP tool do you invoke to assist the tortoise?

frankly if all of this encourages semantic html, reduced js dynamic stuff, alt text for images, and simple layouts... sounds like a win/win to me. i prefer that for stuff i have to read too
