I understand it as sunlight so bright that your eyes are half-closed, obscuring the landscape

If you are not familiar with Camus' work, I highly recommend reading the essay collection Nuptials ( Nuptials at Tipasa , The Wind at Djémila , Summer in Algiers and The Desert ). …

I use this: https://gist.github.com/KMJ-007/0979814968722051620461ab2aa0... Simple and works great but requires one alias per account

Depends on your point of view. Has the web been a net positive overall? If your criteria is "instant access to any information" or "catalyze more technological progress" then posit…

The general idea is to deliberately shape the geometry of spacetime to allow for effects such as faster-than-light travel (relative to another region of spacetime). Einstein's fiel…

Could you give an example of the value that only training a model can create but none of the rights-holder could? I feel like if you got a direct, instant communication channel to …

All frontier models have been trained without any regards for IP protection laws. I don't see how anyone can argue in good faith that distillation is not fair game and does not ult…

Exactly. Imagine what would be possible after a billion year of technological evolution, heck even just 100'000 years. We already know that space time metric engineering is theoret…

Neo4j is a great DB but their license price is egregious for enterprise customers. A few years ago I was involved in negotiating a contract for a small/medium size kubernetes deplo…

Even more so considering that most, if not all countries already have age-verification infrastructure in-place for selling alcohol and tobacco (and other goods). Why not piggy-back…

That might be too much of an assumption to make because of the binding problem. Imaging knowing absolutely everything there is to know - measurably, quantifiably, down to atomic/qu…

You are right that I should have said "That means 0.000003% of humans own 20% of the value globally created" instead of capture . However, getting relatively accurate and meaningfu…

You're right that's my mistake, I misread OP's comment

This public-private drama will only get worse once the AI companies are public and most of the economy depend on their continued performance through their presence in everyone's re…

Switzerland is not part of the European union (nor a member of the European Economic Area) but your point still stands
