I agree, this report from astronaut Camarda should really alarm NASA.

This report from astronaut Camarda is indeed a bomb. Scaring.

The DJI ROMO robot vacuum is amazing. It shows what can be done with today's technology.

My Roomba is just crap compared with DJI's. I'm not surprised they went bankrupt.

Excerpt: “The fact that it’s been 3 years since ChatGPT first launched, and you’ve only just now managed to make it obey this simple requirement, says a lot about how little control you have over it, and your understanding of its inner workings,” wrote one X user in a reply. “Not a good sign for the future.”

Interesting, it seems really likely that more light indoors should be good. Do you have a reference, a scientific study on the topic? Thanks!

If you leave under a dictatorship you definitely don't want to reveal your identity to develop and distribute an app that fights the government.

New comment by joak in "LLMs are still surprisingly bad at some simple tasks"

joak — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 14:18:00 +0000

More generally LLMs are bad at exhaustivity: asking "give me all stuff matching a given property" almost always fails and provide at best a subset.

If possible in the context, the way to go is to ask for a piece of code processing the data to provide exhaustivity. This method have at least some chance to succeed.

I tried to migrate to Zen but I missed Arc's profiles. Container tabs do not replace profiles. I like to switch personae/profiles by switching spaces.
