I think a big issue is that the companies pushing AI want it to replace people entirely. So the software around it is designed with that mindset. I'd really like something that wor…

It's the exact same training process for both of your examples. I don't really see how you can claim books are not replicated, but that output from other LLMs is.

They have no choice but to train their own model to try and survive. They're paying API pricing for the top tier models but competing against subsidized subscriptions.

The problem is, what's ambiguous or precise is subjective. Your devil's advocate needs to reflect all of the possible readers, and that isn't possible. There's a good reason we use…

The problem is that evolution works on a much longer timescale than the pace of change to the environment that humans cause.

>With RL, models no longer just learn what sounds correct based on patterns they've seen. They learn what words to output to be correct. RL is the process of forcing the pre-traine…

The underlying feature of FIAT money creation is debt. And debt is a very natural thing (existing before money) that will just manifest in the crypto system instead.

How do you know it's safe to redeploy? If your entire operation may be compromised, how can you trust the code hasn't been modified, that some information the attackers have doesn'…

That's the definition of a "reference pixel", not a pixel. They actually refer to a pixel (and the angle) in the definition.

In the UK and Ireland (and maybe elsewhere?), a kettle lead is actually C13. I guess you need a beefier cable/pins in the US, as you're drawing more current at a lower voltage. Mos…

> local reasoning everywhere via lazy evaluation Doesn't lazy evaluation mean memory/complexity issues could manifest far away from the problematic code?

The rules do work on the AST but the current cookie rule is not as advanced as it could/should be. For example, we really should treat encryption as sanitizing the value. We'll tak…

Thanks for your questions. Yes we do perform dataflow analysis: 1. Not yet but we are exploring ways to support that 2. The analysis part is sound. False +ves (mainly) come from li…

> But this technology does enable something novel. Digital self-custody of scarce assets is a new thing. It's unfortunately also pretty much pointless. Digital assets aren't scarce…

If you're going to use a different currency, why not just use USD or EUR?

The main advantages of Ruby blocks over that approach are: - they have special control flow that interacts with the method call or surrounding function. ie. calling `break` in `som…

You have to ask yourself, why are those middlemen there at the moment? We have digital trading platforms / banking systems, the technological side of it is not the issue. It's beca…

Decentralised systems are always more inefficient. If certain kinds of transactions are currently cheaper, it's due to lack of regulation (lack of competition in many cases is sadl…

Aside from the environmental issue, I think Bitcoin is a poorly designed currency that ignores economic history/principles. I have a really low expectation of it being able to prov…

All of the cryptocurrencies I've seen so far seem to based on a simplistic and fundamentally flawed view of economics. A long term trend (whether inflationary or deflationary) in t…

I'm not sure he's a bullshitter exactly. He's wildly overoptimistic and is immune to reality to a large degree. The thing is, those can be really good traits for advancing the stat…

I'm one of the engineers that worked on this. It was the first Rust production app code I've written so it was a really fun project.

While there are obvious flaws with the analogy (like any analogy), I think the comparison with eyesight (or touch, etc.) is about making people think of the mind as more of a senso…

>I can fathom why governments call deflation the big enemy. The answer lies in who the governments are that are saying that. They're the advanced economies which are well developed…
