I hope you can read English.


I can, do you have a point you wanted to make?


Isn't git clone faster than browsing web?


Yep. But AI trawlers don't use it. Ask them why.


Do we know it's AI trawlers?

And not just generally degenerate bots? Or just one evil bot network?


Is there any difference between those 3?


Elon musk can contribute 400 Billion alone, maybe whole 500 billion by the time it is completed (joking).

It is ridiculous how rich people's money are just show off like their lifestyle.


Google Drive, Google Photos do not have this permission but Android Auto and Files by Google have.


That explains the lowest comment to star ratio I have ever noticed.


I am not a super coder but I am quite conscious what I write.

I copy pasted a part of my code into Claude.ai to help me add a few lines. It completed that part and also rewritten another few lines. I asked why it did that, explanation was that I missed a edge case.

LLMs are good for writing boring parts of code and also helpful for catching bugs.


You have to be careful because they will sometimes make mistakes they do that. I’ve had Claude decide to “simplify” my code by removing a fix that took hours to chase down.


Was your fix commented? If not, a human developer refactoring your code could have done the same. I’ve seen it happen more than once.


Google will sell Chrome for 100 billion and fork Chromium to build Grome browser like MySQL and MariaDB. People will stop using chrome when it will start to alter webpage (like edge modify web content if you search chrome) and heavily track user activity to feed LLM (like perplexity's browser) to serve Ad.


I had a meeting, so I opened 5/6 relevant pages to quickly show something. I thought the meeting was postponed, so I created a chrome tab group and close the group and continue working with 1 or 2 tab in my browser.

Suddenly, meeting was scheduled again, I simply clicked on the group, and got all the tabs open again.


6 minutes and 48 seconds? Some YouTuber can find the location in 0.1 second. I don't know if those videos are fake.


They aren't fake. I'm a Master I level Geoguessr (the penultimate competitive ranking) and what the pros can do is very real.

I looked at the image in the post before seeing the answer and would have guessed near San Francisco.

It seems impressive to someone if you haven't played Geoguessr a lot, but you'd be surprised at how much information there is about location from an image. The LLMs are just verbalizing what is happening in a few seconds in good player's mind.


The fact some humans can do that doesn't make it any less impressive to me.

I knew Terence Tao can solve Math Olympia questions and much much much more difficult questions. I was still very impressed by AlphaProof[0].

I couldn't agree more. It's very impressive. I'm just countering the claim that it might be cheating. Of course, sometimes it might be, but knowing what I know now, it's completely possible.


Some people are really good at GeoGuessr, but also their best performance are more likely to get views.

If you want a bot that is extremely strong at geoguessr there is this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.05845

One forward pass is probably faster than 0.1 second. You can see its performance here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ts5lPDV--cU (rainbolt is a really strong player)


If you are a professional geoguessr player, you play so many games that it’s not unrealistic to get very good guesses once in a while.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if some form of cheating is happening.


Not just cheating, but just lots of meta, from the blurred number plates color/format, to the stitching of the image at the bottom, mounting location of the camera on the google car. There are list which variant of car was used in which countries and so on. Which is still impressive but not quite the same as just guessing from the image


Nice examples.

Every attribute is of importance. A PhD put you in a 1-3% pool. What data do you have, what is needed to hit a certain goal. Data Science can be considered wizardry when exercised on seemingly innocent and mundane things like a photo.


Geoguessr is different as you can rely on implementation details, such as the camera generation, car, processing, and stuff like a large part of some countries being covered with a dirty spot somewhere in the FOV.


The best geoguessers have been beaten by AI a while back.


If you mean georainbolt, it's genuine


I think Facebook app an option to see feed from your friend list and following page/group only . I can't remember, probably long pressing on feed tab will show this option.
