Overwhelming an enemy involves getting inside their OODA loop. I can't see a real life-or-death scenario, outside of training, where you'd want your enemy to successfully get inside your OODA loop and disrupt your flow and rhythm, even for 0.1% of the time.
You of course don't want to become comfortable and complacent, risking losing focus, but there must be better ways of avoiding that other than being occasionally overwhelmed.
You’re suggesting there are real deadly combat scenarios where it is beneficial to have your OODA loop compromised. Ok maybe you’re right, given the infinite possibilities.
But until you can present at least one such example scenario, no individual would be willing to take such a risk when their own life is at stake. Real combatants might value the motivating threat of being overwhelmed, but do not actually wish to be overwhelmed (i.e. have their OODA loop compromised).
In deadly combat, no one is looking to theorize. No one quibbles about their inability to prove the negative. They just want to live to see the next day.
That’s ok because it’s simple enough to escape SwiftUI. Use SwiftUI for the simple bits and UIKit for the harder parts. It’s not a nice solution, but it works
I consider use of UIViewRepresentable to be a kludge, and basically removing the advantages of SwiftUI.
I know that SwiftUI has some native wrappers, like maps, but the way that SwiftUI works, is so radically different from UIKit, that I think mixing them is problematic.
It’s a clear reference to shareholder primacy and it’s not wielded democratically nor is it something most even have a chance to participate in even though most have stock market exposure through retail buys, 401Ks, IRAs etc.
Half of the us population being shareholders doesn’t translate to a seat the table economically, not to mention is a red herring to the topic
The real issue is that there is legal doctrine that makes it hard for businesses to not be dominated by their largest investors / shareholders in such a way that extracting short term profits every quarter has taken precedence over building healthy sustainable businesses. Everyone is chasing the absolute most % of profit to the detriment to even the business
Those percentages don’t seem right. I’ve never heard of anyone in the tech industry even lasting through 20 rounds of mutual defections with a peer opponent, in any real world conflict.
Let alone 100 rounds, or to continue as a live player.
Because in reality there’s almost always escalation to higher and higher stakes.
I'm not sure what you mean, those orgs last for decades and countries last for hundreds of years. But I'm sure you can tweak the percentages depending on the situation and your own judgement. It's a rule of thumb too and can be exploited if you're not careful, eg someone can save defections for when it really matters (getting a supreme court seat).
> Because in reality there’s almost always escalation to higher and higher stakes.
Well clearly no, because the world is not constantly at war (the highest escalation).
This seems like a tautology. By definition someone with superior political power can grind down someone else with less, if they were maniacal enough about it, or at least negate their efforts.
If they couldn’t, then they wouldn’t be considered to have superior political power.
I don't have an accurate benchmark, but in my personal experience, gpt4o hallucinates substantially less than gpt4. We solved a ton of hallucination issues just by upgrading to it...
(And even that was a downgrade compared to the more uncensored pre-release versions, which were comparable to GPT-4.5, at least judging by the unicorn test)
I begin to believe LLM benchmarks are like european car mileage specs. They say its 4 Liter / 100km but everyone knows it's at least 30% off (same with WLTP for EVs).
Hrm it is a bit funny that modern cars are drive-by-wire (at least for throttle) and yet they still require a skilled driver to follow a speed profile during testing, when theoretically the same thing could be done more precisely by a device plugged in through the OBD2 port.
Well in some ways it does, some insect species use various strategies to fool other insect species, such as a special type of caterpillar that does so against ant colonies, to live at their expense.
o3 is okay for text checking but has issues following the prompt correctly, same as o1 and DeepSeek R1, I feel that I need to prompt smaller snippets with them.
Here is the o3 vs a new run of the same text in GPT 4.5
That would mean leaving some performance on the table the rest of the time.
It doesn't seem clear at all whether one outweighs the other.
