03:42This is what happens when your CEO sends a companywide memo ordering everyone to include AI in their products yesterday. There’s potentially something interesting to be done along these lines — there’s a reason several apps already exist in this space — but you can’t afford to rush this *at all* 🤦🏻‍♂️ cyberplace.social 12:34@carnage4life@mas.toI sometimes wonder if LLMs are this generation’s self driving cars? A decade ago self driving cars were so promising it was assumed they were 90% of the way to being ubiquitous. But now it looks like the last 10% of the work is taking 90% of the time.LLMs work well 90% of the time. The question is how hard will it be to address that last 10%? 12:36@jsq@mastodon.socialDefinitely not switching to passkeys any time soon mjtsai.com 12:39@iKyle@mastodon.socialIf I didnt keep up with LLM, AI and tech news in general and I saw these Google AI answers, Id assume all these models that have been so hyped are useless.But every model or AI tool Ive used can do a better job of putting together answers then Google is currently doing.Bings AI search (ChatGPT + bing search) was/is WAY better than this, for example.And that launched last year. 13:06Regardless of model size, LLM usage costs are directly proportional to how much text you feed them in each prompt. So it makes sense to let an algorithm pick a couple result snippets and just task the LLM with reformulating those as text. That’s a good way to save money and a great way to get the catastrophic “AI-generated” results we’re seeing from Google. mastodon.social 13:11A more charitable / conspiracy-theorist interpretation is that there’s a tiny but non-zero chance Google is intentionally poisoning the well with a bad LLM implementation so it can tell the stock-market gamblers “see? we integrated that buzzword y’all love and everyone told us to stop” because it knows its interest as an ad network is still in people visiting websites. Again: *tiny*chance. But non-zero. 14:02As excited as I am for SLS printing to become relatively affordable, that’s a lot of tedious manual work for a $3,000 device — while modern FDM printers have become literally plug-and-play. Still, can’t wait to see where that techonology goes in four or five years. www.youtube.com 14:29Has absolutely no one considered making a translation library that would let you specify native iOS interfaces with CSS? I can’t find anything at all online, and I know that writing actual CSS by hand has gone out of fashion, but most of it would map rather easily to UIKit, and I’d love to be able to use media queries in mobile UI design. Yes, I know UIKit is also going out of fashion, but look I’m old okay? and old people can still want to make apps. 14:37I love that you get a bonus typical “front suspension self-destructs if you look at it funny.” From the photo you’d think the car bounced off a train car, but the driver just threw it to the side of the road to avoid contact. www.nbcnews.com 14:43@erinbee@gorgon.cityDid anyone have "Pope canonizes a web designer" on their cyberpunk dystopia bingo card? www.bbc.com 19:46@arstechnica@mastodon.socialApple clarifies iOS 17.5 bug that exposed deleted photosiOS 17.5.1 fixed the bug, but users still had questions. arstechnica.com 21:29Performing neuroscience experiments on an LLM — locating and manipulating specific neurons — is an intriguing concept xoxo.zone
