A consequence of aggressive distillation?

Guarantee is too strong a thing to seek, but healthy competition makes it highly likely that the supply/demand curve will meet at a healthy place. You're always guaranteed that you…

Depends on the company and environment. If you work at a place that has an overabundance of easily-googleable questions, this behavior is a good social impediment.

Correct

Their published benchmarks seem to indicate that it's pretty good at coding and multimodal, but VERY good at successful tool calls. What kind of use case would be best for that sha…

+1. And regardless of how thick skinned a nerd is, all the brigading makes threads majority-offtopic and now the neighborhood just sucks. In this case here, the new Grok release ge…

Why are prices up even though population is down over the past ten years? Did everybody decide to move to the city or something?

Yes; though SAT is less prep-resistant and it'd be smart to apply a "+/- 100pts" fuzz to a score.

"You're partly making your decision based on who someone was as a 17 year old." Sure, but IQ tests show a high degree of stability over a person's life. It's not unreasonable to be…

Yes, it'd be interesting if this gets appealed and the SC gets to take a look at if $0 tax stamps are allowable under the tax and spending clause.

This is true; there is additionally a valid argument that there is security benefit to locking down the bootloader. I don’t like locked down bootloaders, but I get the argument.

He did change it when paraphrasing, just now :-) I'm sure it'll be paraphrased to another company in another 30 years.

The "at math" is the important part here - I've met more than a few people who are super smart about math but significantly less smart about drugs. I don't think that it's a good p…

Imagine a subreddit full of people giving bad drug advice. They're at least partially full of people who are intelligent and capable of performing human work - but they're mostly n…

It's possible (and in fact the law) that the journalist against whom a search warrant is issued is suspected of aiding in the leak or committing a crime, though. I don't think we y…

Why would paying everyone $300M across the board be healthier than using it as a tool to (attempt to) attract the best of the best?

The article you linked shows 12-13% autism-positive rate over N~100 cases, in the UK - and it doesn't distinguish, in the free abstract at least, between minor/moderate/severe, or …

It looks like it's a third-party UI, her Mastodon client, using the description metadata in a way that kind of makes it look like that metadata is part of the post. Auto-generating…

If anything there's an interesting angle in the facts of this story about a new form of "mansplaining," but it's the algorithm doing "robosplaining" for the human race.
