Claude represents some sort of inflection point or phase change. With all the noise, Claude Sonnet is by far the most impressive model since gpt4.


Here's a thought: laid-off tech workers should encript every database and hold the keys for ransom. Or just until these jokers are nullified.


Is "Here's a thought: commit crimes" really the thing you're trying to say here? What exactly does "nullified" mean in this context?


That would probably cause the kind of chaos the administration is trying to create in order to justify shutting down and privatizing these agencies.


Using llama 3.2 as an interface to a robot. If you can get the latency down, it works wonderfully


Would love to see this applied to a FPS bot in unreal engine.


It's incorrect to say that Perfect Pitch means you can pick out any of the 12 tones commonly used in western music. It doesn't mean that; that can only come with training.

The core ability with perfect pitch is to remember a note persistent over many months or years. If you know a song well, and you have perfect pitch, you will almost always sing it in the correct pitch. Not within a semitone; within a percent, enough that if you were singing with the recording, you would not be out of tune.

There is overwhelming evidence that this ability is either genetic or acquired at a very early age. It's a difference between people like the way you can fold your tongue or move your thumb. It's innate.

someone with musical training can use this skill to identify the 12 tones of western music, but that's frankly just a party trick built on the core capability.

Here's the concrete example. My son has perfect pitch. I didn't know this until we were watching a Beatles movie, I think A Hard Day's night, and he asked why the instruments Were Out Of Tune. Later I played the record and compared it with the video, and they were off by less than a quarter tone. The Beatles another musicians in the '60s often used very speed to subtly change the tone and tempo and many Beatles Tunes are at a pitch that lies between the standard a 440 12 lb scale


Not $30M, they raised $400M, and I'm sure if their stuff works and gets adoption they can raise more


$400m isn’t enough.


With $400M they can make some buggy app or they can push really hard. It's enough amount that can be used a lot more efficiently. So entirely depends on team and the founders


can you provide some napkin math as to why it's not enough?


Yes


They see themselves as outside the norm, and often it scares them to death. They crave belonging to the 'normie' tribe, and so strive to rub down their sharp edges.

I've known people like this and they make me sad.


> I've known people like this and they make me sad.

In middle school, it's normal for basically everyone to strive to be normal. (and to pick on the outliers)
