The page won't verify me as a human if I try to vote, I don't know why.

In fairness I think these recent few iterations have done reasonably well considering it's largely optimising/fine tuning/enhancing multimodal integrations in existing foundation models rather than generating new ones but at some point the next big foundation models will come out.

We'll probably see another stair step change followed by another plateauing curve of incremental improvements when that happens.


Probably the difference is that extracting as many calories as possible from food was a guarantor of survival for the neanderthals whereas that's not so true with the level of calorie abundance we have in the western world, partly because of analogous fat refining processes we also use.

Yeah I like the sound of the functionality but I don't like the idea of it taking up menu bar space. Console utility would be good or even a gui that can be quickly launched through spotlight

You know you can close it? :-)


I will 100% ADHD it left open and it will sit there making it more cluttered than it needs to be


Sadly Ice is no longer maintained, but the fork Thaw[1] is active:

No comparison with competitor models other than the previous granite version strongly implies that it does not compete well with other comparable models. At least this is the most reasonable assumption until data comes out to the contrary

Wow that's a lot of hollow words that are backed by precisely fuck all.

Yeah, honestly it feels like this came faster than I was expecting. I thought we'd see another few years of reeling in with too-good-to-be-true prices to really lock in dependency but it feels like most companies have kind of a lot of wiggle room to back out of this still

I'd say it looks pretty readable on android although I still wouldn't describe it as good. I wouldn't say I feel encouraged to squint. But possibly different antialiasing explains it.


Well they don't attract nearly as much investment in the current market, I think that might be the problem people really want to solve


The attention economics are bad more than anything else. LLM articles ask us to put more time into reading it than the LLM put into writing it. Actually committing time to production is the minimum bar which suggests something is worth our time in a world where so much is already vying for our attention.


If a truly amazing thing was released tomorrow that had massive utility you wouldn't care how long it took to create and would just use it.

I get the attention economy is messed up right now, but using it as a justification for being curmudgeonly or abandoning principles is lame.


Yeah but we're not talking about utility, we're talking about content and in this particular case content which basically just boils down to someone's slightly quirky taste in something.


I think utility is a big component of that. I think there's a reason we're discussing these types of things instead of just cat pictures and memes.
