New comment by neuroelectron in "Attention Is Not What You Need (2025)"

Right. What makes an expert good? It's intuition. If they had to pay attention to every detail they would never get anything done, but attention is a useful utility for figuring out how your model is working and how it isn't. If you've ever done anything complicated, you know that paying attention to one thing just often makes you overlook the obvious issue.

human intuition is supported by embodied experience, perception, and years of interacting with the physical and social world. An AI model's learned pattern recognition is analogous in some respects, but it isn't the same process.

intelligence may depend less on continuously scrutinizing everything than on having a good internal model, recognizing when that model is likely to fail, and knowing where to investigate.

Amazing. I hope I can get around to testing it out and making a video.

Isn't Google renting cloud compute from XAI?

I spoke with someone smarter and richer than you and he said "these things will happen." That convinced me and I think the real question we need to be asking is, how awesome is OpenAI? How can we prepare for a more effective and efficient market for Super Intelligence before it happens tomorrow?

New comment by neuroelectron in "Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back"

neuroelectron — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 21:11:56 +0000

Not a lot of good reasons to upgrade to 27. They removed Rosetta and you have to reinstall that if you want it. So is MacOS turning into something that more regular people are going to have to maintain in the future or end up with something like Windows 11?

I switched to MacOS 3 years ago because of Microsoft and the writing on the wall seems to say I got another year left before I'm forced into Linux. Because if I have to maintain my own OS then I might as well install Linux and do it once.

Probably yes, because they've been presumably trained on their own output and conversations about themselves.

New comment by neuroelectron in "GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven"

neuroelectron — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 17:51:11 +0000

A lot of comments on VIM here. Vim is a terrible example and a pretty bad design overall, objectively. Legends of great productivity with vim is highly legendary, i.e. fiction. Classic Notepad/Word and similar Guis that have been widely adopted in Linux windowing systems are clearly superior and that's why they're so widely and silently adopted. Not a lot of fanfare for hierarchical GUI menus with keyboard shortcuts.

This is a great temporary solution to continue developing AI up to a reliable state, then the ownership can be transferred to a particular state that is major global presence in cybersecurity, semiconductor design, and tech innovation, who is already well positioned with key stakeholders in most if not all American tech companies with strong grantees in government support.

Major technology companies have signed strategic agreements for SMR development, but regulatory approvals and supply-chain scaling place widespread commercial deployment in the late 2020s through the 2030s. Now that we are in astronomical debt, it's our responsibility to turn our nation into a wasteland in order to provide this particular nation a scalable, full spectrum and robust AI defense solution that will allow them to achieve their geopolitical goals safely without fear of reprisal while they continue to expand their influence in tech and the global economy, hopefully culminating in extracting taxes on ships going through key trade canals near their borders and beyond.
