Bots are a major problem on Discord. I frequently receive messages to buy MMO gold.

On balance, there’s far more evidence to support the conclusion that language models have reached a plateau.

We have different experiences. Often I’ll see Claude, et. al. find creative ways to fulfill the task without satisfying my intent, e.g., changing the implementation plan I specifically asked for, changing tolerances or even tests, and frequently disabling tests.

It’s wild that programmers are willing to accept less determinism.

That’s an incredible idea and I hope you do this! If you do, you should consider adding restaurants too.

But they still rely on fixed functions for a handful of essential ops (e.g., intersection).

I guess it depends on your definition of proof but I’d say the reasoning and justifications sections of a TOMS article qualifies and that’s a standard nearly every popular library meets.

You’re not kidding. I just looked. There isn’t anything novel in that section. I assumed from the description they found novel methods but this is standard GPU Gems advice.

Yeah. It’s an erosion of rights that doesn’t solve the problem. You only need one cheater to make a game feel bad and DMA devices or pixel tracking can’t be stopped with these anti-cheats.

I was in a similar situation and ended up buying a PS5. It ended up being exactly what I wanted.

Masked token prediction is reconstruction. It goes far beyond “quoting.”

I don’t follow. You’re punishing the publishing industry by punishing authors?

You’re willing to eliminate the entire concept of intellectual property for a possibility something might be a technological advancement? If creators are the reason you believe this advancement can be achieved, are you willing to provide them the majority of the profits?

It’s unsound but, thankfully, there’re many sound geometric algebra libraries,
