I'm talking specifically about the variant of RL used by systems like AlphaGo.

Wdym? It's existed for at least a decade. Plenty of papers about it. It mastered Atari and Mario. It became the best Go player.

LLMs might suck at this game but I'm pretty sure Deepmind's deep reinforcement learning AI could solve these easily. EDIT: I know you guys hate AI around here, but you need to at least be aware of what the technology is capable of. From 11 years ago: https://youtu.be/V1eYniJ0Rnk

This list of bullshit features does zilch to address users complaints about software quality. They are truly clueless.

I’m thinking seriously about using something like a Daylight tablet as a thin client for a more powerful machine at home. Obviously doing real coding by hand would still suck, but LLM-based coding might actually be viable.

Slop points aside, I found 5.4 to be pretty ass compared to 5.3 codex. Took way longer and wasted more tokens.

1000 lines isn't that unreasonable for a PR. Commit size matters more.

All I know is YouTube has more advanced ad delivery methods than DNS blocklists can filter, so you need client-level blocking. This only works if you use browser plugins or 3rd party client apps. YouTube’s first party app will always have ads. Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding.
