The other issue is that lidar costs came down 99% in the last decade and self-driving took longer than he had said. At $200, you might as well add lidar. At $50,000 vision only mad…

The point of the article is that people are historically bad at predicting when exponential curves plateau, even if they're correct that there will be a plateau. This does *not* im…

1. It's not inevitable. 2. Those that see AI as an existential risk don't generally think it's a guarantee, but if it's say a 5% chance then that's worth addressing/mitigating. 3. …

Your response is myopic. Do you think large health insurers gave a shit about DoD unofficial contracting black lists or even if the DoD would even know who they're contracting with…

Completely false. It's the first time a US company has been designated a supply chain risk. Now the likes of Boeing can't use them. Health companies with Medicare/Tricare contracts…

The line of reasoning is more like this: if you make and sell safe-cracking tools then it would not be unreasonable for the government to regulate it so only registered locksmiths …

It has been solved. Get rid of all the windmills. Easy.

Reading what you said literally, you're making a strong statement that an AI could never be conscious and further that consciousness depends on free will and that free will is inco…

At no point did I say LLMs have human intelligence nor that they model human intelligence. I also didn't say that they are the correct path towards it, though the truth is we don't…

The majority of spend is in the last few years of life. A man dying of a stroke during the night at age 50 is much cheaper to the system than the same man living to 90 having fough…

> LLMs get over-analyzed. They’re predictive text models trained to match patterns in their data, statistical algorithms, not brains, not systems with “psychology” in any human sen…

RINO republicans don't look like rhinoceros. That the word makes no sense by itself means that you'd have to ask what they meant by it. If the acronym were "DUMB" or "CLOWN" or wha…

> I would point out that they have faith in transhumanism like Christians have faith in Jesus That's just wrong. Pacemakers are a form of transhumanism, improving the human conditi…

> He is fulfilling his declared policy objective ...his actions are basically US (majority) people's collective action. Process matters and laws matter. The federal budget is set b…

You can argue the gesture was unintentional, but to say it "look nothing like the salutes in documentaries, TV shows, and movies" is just a lie. Nothing like it? What would he had …

Some procedures are considered never medically necessary or only approved with prior authorization. Acupuncture has a CPT code and can be billed; do you think a patients file is re…

It's a question of what we want to measure. There's a metric that represents how much a claimant sees in unexpected costs due to denied claims vs impact on care from the insurer. A…

> What? Which ones? Undermined how? There's a long list of conspiracy theories about the vaccines. There are chips in there to track people, they're actually sterilizing people for…

1. I don't see how a zoonotic vs lab leak origin should really impact containment efforts. If it had been a lab leak and Chinese officials knew, I don't see how or why they would h…

It's a closed position. You have time to reroute the knight and it's one of the few clear plans besides doubling the rooks on the only half open file. The knight on that outpost wa…

Are you saying this is due to not having an interest in the people posting on Mastodon or due to a difficulty in using Mastodon itself?

I'm not sure if you're supposed to have an emotional reaction. The delayed reviews combined with the head of business operations leaving, the rumors of missed revenue targets and l…

Ground News uses bias ratings from Ad Fontes Media, All Sides, and Media Bias/Fact Check; they rate NPR as Center, Lean Left, and Lean Left respectively. If you consider NPR to be …

HBO to Max might be second for me. I associated premium and original content with the name HBO (Game of Thrones for example). I get they're trying to convey that it's not just pres…

Some environmental advocates' rhetoric focused on the lower probability but much higher damage outcomes, e.g. Gore's Inconvenient Truth. Language like "up to 20 feet" etc to focus …
