It's bad. I believe them not to use it for training, but t means relevant data can and will be exfiltrated by US agencies or through court orders (see NY Times vs. OpenAI, where on…

Of course, should it be as cost efficient as claimed and if you don't use it but everybody else does, you might be pushed out of the market.

Agreed. The solution will likely be some vision foundation model that directly sends controls to the robot ("move here, grab, move there"), trained by Amazon with RL to integrate c…

Is this some kind of calibration then? I'd expect that the probabilities automatically adjust during training, such that in "lock" mode, for example, syntax-breaking tokens have a …

I'm reasonably sure Russia would take you.

Would using an actors face and voice as training data be fair use? What it the model then creates a virtual actor that is very close to the real actor?

The data behind the app is pretty solid, but lightningmaps.org has a much better visualization (based on the same data).

I use them as cheap-man's VPN. A ssh server on a public IP but a non-obvious port brings you into the network, and port forwarding allows you to connect to relevant endpoints in yo…

Putting sulfur into the right layers of the atmosphere seems to be the currently best viable options. It's not overly expensive, either. It acts fast and is reversible. https://en.…

The low prices of solar and batteries are a glimmer of hope. For many regions it's now the cheapest source of electricity.

They would never be the same. It's just that everything still works the same if you switch out every i with -i (and thus every -i with i).

> Is this the shadow of something natural that we just couldn't see, or just a convenience? They originally arose as tool, but complex numbers are fundamental to quantum physics. T…

The thing is that your home's heatpump has an efficiency of 300%-500%. So even if your power plant and power delivery only has say 50% gas-to-electricity-at-home, you are still loo…

Exactly. It is in general (much) more efficient to burn natural gas in a power plant and use the electricity for heatpumps compared to simply burning gas at home for heating.

Would that help against a man in the middle that blocks the H3 traffic to snoop the URL when the client falls back to H2?

Stupid question, but is 404 the real designator of that city, or a pun towards the HTTP error code? Edit: And what a great read, thank you!

Can you say what hardware could do better? I.e. which kind of primitives do you miss, or would make it easier to develop safer software?

Lightning detection. You have a couple of ground stations with known positions that wait for certain electromagnetic puses, and which record the timestamps of such pulses. With eno…

Someone compiled a list of blocked domains (by probing different DNS servers): https://cuiiliste.de/ This is also how, for example, RT is blocked in Germany.

Here: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-code-best-pract... claude.md seems to be important enough to be their very first point in that document.

> In many European countries this can even reduce the usually robust protections you have as an employee. Huh, where?
