So reflecting on that, I think the core assumption that didn't pan out is that the memory / CPU ratio will grow because we'll need more memory, hence requiring CPUs to address more…

> All of the AI projects we have observed as a team are failing. Every single one – we have seen 0% success in a year and a half, not only amongst projects we have been asked to pa…

I wonder how much of this is driven by confounding variables they haven't accounted for. They do factor in shift work as a categorical variable, and employment status as a categori…

The European Council (heads of states) sets the agenda, the European Commission (delegates from each state) writes the laws, and the MEPs (elected by the public) decide whether or …

A bubble just means it is overvalued beyond it's true fundamentals due to speculation on speculation. The underlying asset can still have value, just less than the market price. Co…

I think it's a more useful analysis to add a second dimension than to try to project everything onto 'left' and 'right' (in the style of the . Axis 1 - civil & political rights: In…

I think regulating the retention and processing of information is entirely feasible even in circumstances where the information is initially available for a different purpose. This…

The article doesn't really explain well how this is spying. So companies A & B (A=TSMC, B=Tokyo Electron) are in a customer-supplier relationship. Employee B1 of B asks Employees A…

It's based on what Donald Trump (or any other US president, should it come to that) says, not on any evidence or ground truth beyond that. The are motives for lying on this - for a…

I think the registered trademark is Transport Tycoon not TTD. The public may have called it TTD, but I'm not sure they used it in trade (IANAL, not legal advice). And I don't think…

Yes Transformer models are non-deterministic, but it is absolutely not true that they can't generalise (the equivalent of interpolation and extrapolation in linear regression, just…

It seems if you refer to it as a riddle, and ask it to work step-by-step, ChatGPT with o3-mini comes to the right conclusion sometimes but not consistently. If you don't describe i…

In a free-market approach to drug development, if the expected loss of attempting to develop as drug is negative, and the cost isn't too high, then there is an incentive to develop…

But she mentioned: 1) it isn't in DNS only /etc/hosts and 2) they are making a connection to it. So they'd need to get the IP address to connect to from somewhere as well.

They just need more bits of entropy - going from IPv4 to IPv6 involved quadrupling it, but this transition is much more minor. They could just go to 6 characters for now, and go to…

The concept of 'positive rights' (i.e. rights that are not just that the state doesn't do something to you, but affirmative rights to something happening) has a long history, and s…

In many versions of road rules (I don't know about California), having four vehicles stopped at an intersection without one of the four lanes having priority creates a dining philo…

I think it's Jon Postel who was the original source of the principle (it's often called Postel's Law). https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc761#section-2.10 is an example dating back …

I believe ethanol is not actually often given as an antidote for methanol poisoning in modern times. It does work as a competitive inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase (i.e. occupyin…

If the intent is to stop it being used for a business, that's inherently at odds with part of the OSI's definition: "The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the pro…

It might be easier to block by ASN rather than hard-coding IP ranges. Something as simple as this in cron every 24 hours will help (adjust the ASNs in the bzgrep to your taste - an…

One thing here doesn't seem right. I thought the whole thread that this was about them negotiating down how much the executor of a deceased estate would pay to one hospital making …

For only 100 GB, that's quite expensive storage. Compare for example Backblaze B2 at $7.20 / year / 100 GB. That is just the storage, so if you do lots of I/O it might increase - b…

I've personally been unable to pass AI 'liveness' detection (which was a high-stress situation when it related to something my new employer asked me to do after I already resigned …
