It's just a lot easier to let them run loose and finish a task before reviewing it, rather than have to babysit and approve every command they want to run. It frees you up to do other things in that time. For some people, that's running more agents in a different terminal, for others that doing something else entirely.

I don't think you're entirely wrong, but the idea of trusting strangers being "baggage" is sad

I have been benchmarking many of my use cases, and the GPT Nano models have fallen completely flat one every single except for very short summaries. I would call them 25% effectiveness at best.

Flash is not a small model, it's still over 1T parameters. It's a hyper MoE aiui

I have yet to go back to small models, waiting for the upstream feature / GPU provider has been seeing capacity issues, so I am sticking with the gemini family for now

Doesn't the right to make sound in public places extend to the hypothetical users of this app?

I don't think a rights-based framing is the best way to look at this. It's about courtesy and respect for social norms.

I don't see how society is becoming too intolerant, if anything I think we are more tolerant of anti-social behavior than ever before.

The hypothetical users of the app will use it to shut down noise in public places.

You are the one defending anti-social behavior here.

If you don't like noise, don't go outside where other humans are. If you use psychological manipulation because you think people are playing videos too loud, maybe take a deep look in the mirror before talking about courtesy and respect.

This pause does not apply to visitor visas

I still have to pay the price whether it's artificial or not

The entire article reads like the introduction to a real essay. I scrolled past the related comments thinking the real meat would be below, only to find the comments. Marvelization of criticism, anyone?

The other patrons are being polite. Very few people love a toddler running riot while they're eating out

I suppose that would depend on the restaurant / patron.

For example, in Texas there are loads of TexMex restaurants and Hispanic cultures actually embrace children as part of the environment vs Western European cultures (which I was raised in) which don’t so much.

As I said: horses for courses.

> Statistically, mentally ill people are far more likely to be victims of violence than to perpetrate it

I think this is one of cases where a broad label like "mental illness" obscures more than it clarifies. There are some subgroups of people with mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar, antisocial personality disorder) who are more likely to commit violence than others, especially when combined with substance abuse. But of course that fact doesn't generalize to all people with mental illness.
