In a form of a question: does low earth orbit has big enough drag to be effectively do automatic cleanup every several years?

The answer is positive. LEO satellites need orbital corrections every few weeks, and some, several times a week.

Outsourcing blame. This is the killer app of AI

I’m very happy that these exes are unchecked (incl jackson3).

If parsing fails - how often can you do anything else than just abort and log/show an error..

Checked exceptions are nice in theory, but it is very context dependent if checked’ness is useful, I would prefer that libraries do not expose them.

1. Carbon quality would need to be ensured somehow - sounds like extraction/refinement still necessary

2. Carbon seems to be brittle.

Flip side is customer psychology. Choosing a more expensive tier leaves better emotion.

Also i doubt there was jira ticket with “make llm more verbose”, rather ticket with “bug makes llms too verbose” gets prioritised taking revenue impact into account.

But it is much much simpler to make it consume more tokens.

It’s like that saying “What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away”, but in this case it is one company.

There is definitely a conflict of interest.

It's the same conflict of interest quite literally any business has. What stops any business from over-charging? Competition.

> What stops any business from over-charging? Competition.

I fully agree.

> It's the same conflict of interest quite literally any business has.

I know that you know what I meant ;) In the long term it is just as you say - overcharging (eventually corrected by competition forces), but in the short term it can be additional revenue, blamed on a bug, but making some manager look good.

Jury is still out on this one.

This needs to be routine to be given asevidence…

…Unless you know exactly how the llm was trained and then how it was applied

Here is Yuji Tachikawa from Japan (Mathematical Physics, String Theory, QFT) on recent progress in his own work using Fable 5 :

"I've been trying out Claude Fable recently, and last night, on a whim, I showed it my research notes about a collaborative project that's seen no progress in the past six months or so and asked for its thoughts. To my surprise, it made a non-trivial observation and essentially solved it."

"I was also surprised that it was using sympy to automatically write code and verify his own predictions."

"Fable probably seems like it properly understands string theory and has intuition too—that's my impression"

Tangentially related, games added various menu transition animations on purpose, to disable user input while loading resources (from hdd or network).

Idea being that for user it is less frustrating to wait for animation to end, than to see some hourglass/waiting indication.

One way to deal with it could be “guaranteed interrupt” action (something like sigkill, just for UI action queue).

Other way could be to actually visually indicate action queue depth.

I have only iphone, but from my experience, apple ui quality is just a huge myth nothing to do with reality.

On average it is has same amount of crappy UI experience, just in different places.

I think iOS has lots of refinement and polish, but still lots of ugly bugs and crappy UI. The others have the same crappy UI, but with no refinement and polish at all anywhere.

How can you compare if you have only iPhone?

I had an android before that.

Maybe their laptop experience is completely on another league, but I have doubts
