    New Codex features include the ability to use your computer in the background

    We haven't had issues so far, this is all internal workflows... I am handling the agent stack so I do have a bunch of little agents running around stress testing everything and logging for the main model to pick up.

    New Codex features include the ability to use your computer in the background

    I switched to Codex last month and the improvement has been noticeable. Our company used to work in conjunction with a team in India and Europe. After Codex, we haven't used the India team since, even though we still have a few months on contract. Europe is handling VR and design work, which we...

    War with...Iran?

    here you go: The US is more difficult to unpack because of the sanctions... but we can track how many children of Iran's elites study in America... https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/children-of-iran-s-top-officials-studying-at-leading-us-universities-report-reveals/ar-AA1YXujJ Just like...

    War with...Iran?

    It means that food, export goods traversing through the Straight and Gulf can no longer reach Iran. They still have overland borders between Turkey and Azerbaijan, but this will make prices for necessities, which are already crushing Iranians, even more punishing. China runs Gwadar port in...

    Shock from Iran war has Trump’s vision for US energy dominance flailing

    The goal is to starve Iran. They are already starving. It's a war crime. Just like Venezuela.

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    Ah yes, my cheering is more harmful than your head in the sand. Sure. I'd suggest you read more Lenin, because only one path leaves you defenseless against capital... and it's not mine. exactly. It's not only fantasy, it's precisely people on Ars that should be clear eyed about the dangers...

    War with...Iran?

    I find it funny that plenty of people were cheering on Iran... even here, if poorly disguised. Cheering for one genocidal imperialist against another genocidal imperialist? If there's a better description of the current societal hopelessness, I haven't seen it.

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    or they can convince management that AI and a Vietnamese software engineer that gets paid $10 an hour can do your job. Especially if they can workshop their ideas with AI before they send them to the engineer.

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    I doubt it.. if even half of what Anthropic says about Mythos for sure.. you will have specialized agents that will optimize every bit of software. The difficulty is going from design to user experience.. I don't see how that is easily solved. People are terrible at describing what something...

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    Lenin says capitalism will never die... it reconstitutes into imperialism... then cultural commodity capitalism powered by fetishism, which then returns to cultural imperialism. You have to smash capitalism, which can only be done via class struggle. The hope is if we have robot overlords, we...

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    Welcome to late stage capitalism... hype and grifting and inserting a tax into every human interaction is the last frontier of making money. No one wants to accept the minimal profit margins on commodity technology... Written in 1916: "More and more prominently there emerges, as one of the...

    The Moon is already on Google Maps—did Artemis II really tell us anything new?

    I am impressed and congratulate the astronauts and the team at NASA for their incredible accomplishment. Sending people to the moon has still only been done by one country, the USA. While I agree with you that the value of the mission was minimal, I recognize that we need to give people...

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    Google's GraphCast weather model used graph neural networks and has outperformed every existing machine learning model 90% of the time, according to this very site: https://meincmagazine.com/science/2025/11/googles-new-weather-model-impressed-during-its-first-hurricane-season/ Their new model is...

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    We read about this nonsense in grade school. It's John Henry all over again. What's fascinating is that this site helped build the internet. Arstechnica was the place to get insight on how to build servers in the pre-Google search era. I wouldn't have been able to start our branch of Indymedia...

    AI models are terrible at betting on soccer—especially xAI Grok

    Keep screaming into the void. The comments on this site are more 'predictable' than Claude 4.6. Once LLM weights are trained on sports gambling, they will start winning. Go is a notoriously difficult game and machine learning was able to surpass humans despite years of 'experts' claiming...

    Why Anthropic sent its Claude AI to an actual psychiatrist

    Look, there is no doubt that AI is designed to make capital triumph over labor. But... You are sticking your head in the sand.. the reality is that everyone is using this... your children, my children are using this every day. It is their best friend and your lonely grandmother's best friend...

    EV adoption in America: Who’s winning, who’s losing?

    You'll have to revise that first talking point. Gas as in gasoline is going up because oil is a fungible global commodity easily transported. Natural gas, as in the vast majority of electricity generated in the US, can only be transported globally when liquid cooled. Very little of the gas...

    Rivian and VW Group complete winter testing of new zonal architecture

    I love my European peeps but they work best when you can tell them what to do. Generalization to be sure... unsuited to the messy everything and everywhere all at once stage of a startup. That and they leave at 5pm on the dot. It's maddening to someone used to spitballing on Slack at midnight...

    Mining the deep ocean

    Commenting against mining of metals while posting on machines dependent on vast quantities of said materials is the kind of cognitive dissonance perfected by Westerners. It would seem paradoxical until one realizes that deep sea mining could affect their waters while terrestrial mines would...
