heres the AI regulation that I want: if anyone proposing utility for an AI tool utters the words I could imagine , a big cartoony boxing glove on a spring needs to pop out of a box and punch them through a wall

Every time I think my voice is getting good, someone gives me a holy crap moment. Latest case is Charlie Puth making a reference to T Pain's auto tune technique, with no hardware...

Lets talk about LLMs Dan Lyke / comment 0
Two really good ones today. That AI Great Leap Forward that I linked earlier, and Lets talk about LLMs, talking about what software development really is, and a deep dive into how churning out code is not, in fact, going to give you an order of magnitude of productivity gain.

LLMs parroting fake disease test Dan Lyke / comment 0
Nature: Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real
Even if readers didnt make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that this entire paper is made up and Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group.
Hmmm The Dell i7 8Gen hand me down Dan Lyke / comment 0
Hmmm... The Dell i7 8Gen hand me down laptop I've been using for Linux stuff is giving me flakey display, including keeping remnants of the previous display after a shutdown and restart (I didn't know they did that these days).
Sigh. I need work to turn around.
Of course this Rust repo was last Dan Lyke / comment 0
Of course, this Rust repo was last updated over 4 months ago. Why would I expect that it'd run on a modern Mac.
Guess this is gonna happen on a Linux machine.
John Deer to pay $99M for right to repair Dan Lyke / comment 0
A good start: John Deere to Pay $99 Million in Monumental Right-to- Repair Settlement
While the agricultural manufacturing giant pointed out in a statement that this is no admission of wrongdoing, it agreed to pay $99 million into a fund for farms and individuals who participated in a class action lawsuit. Specifically, that money is available to those involved who paid John Deeres authorized dealers for large equipment repairs from January 2018. This means that plaintiffs will recover somewhere between 26% and 53% of overcharge damages, according to one of the court documentsfar beyond the typical amount, which lands between 5% and 15%.
The article also reports that older used tractors ballooned in value as farmers sought out repairable devices.

AI Assistance Reduces Persistence Dan Lyke / comment 0
Across a variety of tasks, including mathematical reasoning and reading comprehension, we find that although AI assistance improves performance in the short-term, people perform significantly worse without AI and are more likely to give up. Notably, these effects emerge after only brief interactions with AI (approximately 10 minutes).

The AI Great Leap Forward Dan Lyke / comment 0
The AI Great Leap Forward — Han Lee
In 1958, Mao ordered every village in China to produce steel. Farmers melted down their cooking pots in backyard furnaces and reported spectacular numbers. The steel was useless. The crops rotted. Thirty million people starved.
In 2026, every other company is having top down mandate on AI transformation.
Same energy.

Postal Arbitrage using Amazon Prime Dan Lyke / comment 0
Postal Arbitrage. Using Amazon Prime to send messages more cheaply than a first class letter by gifting cheap items.
