    To be clear, Poland has recorded high economic growth, not increasing the quality of education.

    is introducing diversity in corporations guided solely by profit and not the general good? who would have thought!

    That's wrong. Polish state from 1926 onwards supported Zionists (in the years 1926-1939, Poland was ruled by the authoritarian Sanation movement).

    There is nothing wrong with drawing on the values that a text carries without necessarily agreeing with it in its entirety. This quote captures the point of the post above quite we…

    We don't need another tax to make another commodity available only to the richest, but a change in culture that above all prioritizes consumption.

    First you say owning a car is a cultural norm, then you say it should be changed by legislation. I'm afraid it is really hard to change culture with law.

    That's true. I already know every bit of my city, I have visited almost all museums, walked almost every street. If I have the opportunity to do the same elsewhere, I will.

    That attitude is the exact reason roads in the U.S. are much less safe. Cars are oversized, heavy and completely lethal for any pedestrians or cyclists. It's just a very dangerous …

    It is ironic because SUVs have much worse visibility, especially right in front / back of the car.

    But there isn't such a thing as a raw model, is it? In order to receive anything from a language model it has to 'learn' some objective. And this objective has to be imposed from a…

    It is true that the problem of storing energy exists in both cases, but as far as I understand with renewables you lose reliability (in comparison to nuclear power).

    Electricity demand does fluctuate, but so does supply from renewables. I think it is easier to store excess power than to deal with power shortage in case of bad weather.

    Germany is now a net exporter of energy, but is going to become a net importer precisely because of nuclear phase-out. As described in the IEAs report [0]: "The government expects …

    GPT surely isn't the end, but rather the start of "intelligent" language models. At this time it's hard to decide whether we can make a model that will be truly super intelligent, …

    well, even the dumbest intelligence that is, in fact, just a computer, has a great potential. You cannot scale humans horizontally nor vertically :^)

    For me it hasn't degraded (or, possibly, I haven't noticed it). I think it really depends on type of searches you usually do.
