Current Waymos do use the transformer architecture, they're still predicting tokens.

I spend a lot of time thinking about it day-to-day because of my disability and reliance on multiple disability support workers, as well as living with my husband who is also disab…

Hey, just chiming in to say that I think this project is really cool even though it's outside the price range of what I can spend on a cool hobby. I'm disabled, and one thing I'm r…

She, but yes.

An LLM wrapper does not have serious revenue potential. Being able to do very impressive things with Claude Code has a pretty strict ceiling on valuation because at any point Anthr…

I do not believe it is unintentional.

This isn't ambiguous. This is really clear evidence of (at minimum) an atrocious and continuing war crime with full intentionality. Realistically, it is more likely explicitly geno…

>In 2025 if you are a public person saying it you will get consequences. See Hobhouse case. Yes, if your criticism of China is in the news they might not let you in. That doesn't a…

It's not intended to detect crimes, it's intended to detect pro-Palestinian political sentiment & deny entry to anyone who has posted that way.

They generally only look on Weibo & other Chinese-exclusive social media, and they do it all the time, not just while you're in customs. For something on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook …

Man did I get some pushback when I said this a week ago. People just really don't want to believe the sums involved here.

Okay, so I'm not allowed to see the court order because I'm a random outsider, got it. What about the family of the person? What about their lawyer? Why can't they see the court or…

From what I understand the PRC tries pretty hard to provide a lot of incentives to academic returnees. I do wonder if they have a tenure match program, where if you have tenure at …

Great! Can you provide a link to the court order so we can see?

We've got your reply, which says it's not taboo and is actually common (not contradictory, lots of taboo things are common). And then we've got the other reply, which says it's not…

I think basically everyone should support a carbon tax. It's a really obvious solution that is both environmentally friendly and should be acceptable to free market fanatics becaus…

Praying to God that this means I can get a USB-C Kindle Oasis at some point in my life.

I am not certain because I've been very focused on the o3 news, but at least yesterday neither the US nor Europe were part of China.

I mean, that is certainly what some of them think will happen and is one possible outcome. Another is that they won't be able to control something smarter than them perfectly and t…

I am not American, I am Australian and have never been to America, nor do I like the country; so much for "uniquely". On what basis do you call yourself a communist when you explic…

They didn't have a good one, and people were mad at them for it and demanded better results. MAID ameliorates both some of the direct anger ("We have improved healthcare by reducin…
