Indeed. And that they were all trained to give it a red scarf, which was not asked for.

At this point, even if the labs wouldn’t actively pelican-max their models, isn’t the training corpus full of pelicans already? Funny to think how one models choice of adding a red scarf in one of Simon’s earlier experiments might have led to an archetype of pelicans riding bicycles…

Not just pelicans, but pelicans with commentary about how good they are. simonw accidentally created the world's least efficient hill climbing algorithm.

I bet if he started critiquing pelicans with red scarves, they'd go away.


They all have a red scarf and a fish in a front basket

Incredible. And less than 10Mb of wasm.

When I saw it was called "Muse headband", I immediately thought it was a Meta thing. Surely, it's just a matter of time until Meta knocks on their door. Especially if they're getting into the AI category with their supposed 'wellness devices'.

You've got it backwards. The Muse headset is decades old

But getting into the AI category with that name may cause confusion.

Either way, there will be an issue.


Yeah, more of an issue for Meta. Generally big companies choose a name they like, and sort out the trademarks later. See: iOS / Cisco.

If you’ve been using a name earlier, ideally with a trademark but even without a trademark, and a big company also uses it after you; it’s generally their problem, not yours, and you can expect a wad of cash.


"Not your keys?

... Not your coins."


implying the keys were the hacker's ?


No. The phrase is often said to deter people from keeping their life-savings in crypto on a commercial Exchange instead of self-custody wallets.

Well at some point they were.


I do not at all like how they changed most posting dates to just say "over a year ago". When looking up solutions to code issues, the date of the answer often matters a great deal.


I think they reversed this change, because I wanted to complain and agree with you , but decided to see how bad it was and found out that the site displays dates as it used to before

Oh that's a new change then, thanks for pointing it out. It was only last week I was annoyed at how it was hiding that the answers were from 2013-2014. I wonder if they've suddenly got someone there with a bit more sense?


What made you change it's name from 'Garth'?


I went back and forth with my coworkers on the naming and we essentially voted on Hob vs Garth. Vote came to Hob. Do you prefer Garth?

And all that, for them to then put your private home address (assuming you're not a business) on the app page?

I haven't bothered with them for years now, since the way they treat indie devs is absolutely awful.

And the 12 people/14 days things was a complete show-stopper. Two arbitrary numbers completely pulled out of someone's arse.


It's interesting to see these cautionary tales appear. Pretty much playing out exactly how many of us thought they would.


And then you've got the local "Wan2GP" setups "for the GPU-Poor".

Also tried the "Locally Uncensored" setup on a 3060 laptop, which worked surprisingly well.
