I don't know what timeframe we are talking about here, but 1 million gallons is how much 33 people in the US use in a year. It's really not that much water.

They shouldn't be. But the point is, they are. OpenAI and Anthropic are paying many rights holders for access to their data (reddit, NYT, etc.). So distillation, among other things…

Disclosing private repos against the owner's intent is a much more immediate and significant business risk than violating the license of open source code. Maybe that shouldn't be t…

Israel can fly aircraft over their adversaries at will. Russia can't.

Other than nukes, Russia does not have significant spare capacity. They use missiles and drones with months of their production. They fly bomber aircraft as close to the front as t…

I would think that the shipping executives are less willing to take the risk to run the strait than the crews are. Being stuck for months with very little freedom, uncertain future…

I can see how something like this happens. We're talking about a 5 year old kid seeing something at school, and describing it to their parents. Who knows what the kid said? Then yo…

I don't think that craziness was baked into the model, it was in the prompt they used. So, easy to fix once they realized how stupid it was.

It's a strategy to make their competition lose, but it's not a strategy to win.

Even if you think this this is what OpenAI is doing, they surely don't think that. So why would he write that in his diary?

I don't think Waymo needs to dominate the market to succeed. They just need to scale up (time)x(number of vehicles) enough to amortize the R&D costs of the self driving capability.…

If this guy was still just a guy on a mailing list and otherwise living a private life, this article would be inappropriate to publish IMO. However, he's a significant public figur…

The idea is great in the same way the idea of a perpetual motion machine is great: I'd love to have a perpetual motion machine (or C++ modules), but it's just not realistic. IMO, t…

It really doesn't matter as long as someone is living in it.

It doesn't matter whether prices are going up or down, it matters if the price is more than the cost to build.

It's pretty tiring seeing so many people push the bounds of acceptable behavior. It's pretty simple: should someone in your chain of management discipline you for setting aside tha…

Using this example: a computer was an unlikely purchase for a lower-middle class person in the US, but it wasn't totally unattainable. Many people in the US probably did it, and so…

Of course. The point is whether you interpret a call to arbitrary_precision_add or compile the call doesn't matter much.

> I don't protest to signal my moral outrage, I do it to effect change in my elected leaders. How'd that work out for you?

If you actually believe this, then what is your explanation for a manufacturer to do this? Do you think they are just stupid?

Is there a lower risk, lower interest option with the same capabilities (ability to use the money to pay others)? Genuine question, I have no idea, but I didn't choose my bank base…

In most such countries there is also an entrance exam requirement that would exclude most student loan borrowers in the US.
