What do you mean iffy? The major AI labs are gross profitable when selling access to inference. In addition, the best models have trillions of parameters and are most efficiently s…

It is unfortunate, but we're still in the early days of AV's. I think that more cities and states will be amenable to them once they have proven themselves as indispensable.

Would you mind expanding on the difference between frontier model development and open model development? I was under the impression that they were nearly the same thing and would …

hot glue is a petrochemical just like plastic.

Shouldn't we be able to detect radio coming from SAR satellites? If SpaceX were to launch a cover SAR constellation, why can't they just use starlink as an excuse, why do they have…

If you consider 'trading' to be short term buying and selling of stocks, then yeah. Holding stocks long term is nothing like trading commodities though.

I’ve had similar thoughts, but I’ve come around to this buildout being rational. All of the big ai labs are still jockeying for compute and are having trouble keeping up with infer…

Most people aren't old.

The linked article just looked at collisions that happened and compared danger by vehicle weight. If I had to guess, I would assume lighter vehicles generally have a shorter stoppi…

Hey, Dang, Idk if this is allowed because this is politics, but I thought it was a noteworthy thing for a world leader to do. However, I understand if you want to delete it.

Yes, but even if the referenced security risk is patched you would still be able to find out if some has an account or not since a password reset page will tell you if it has succe…

It is the governments job to deal with this. Polluting the atmosphere may be cheaper for an individual consumer, but is a negative externality for everyone else on earth. If the go…

You should look into Ernesto Miranda. He did horrible things but the Supreme Court said that he incriminated himself without knowing his rights. Because of this, his conviction was…

This is pedantic, but going twice in Russian roulette would have an 80% mortality rate. This is because the second shot is a 3/5ths chance, not 1/2.

Piggybacking off this, if you are the teacher from Saudi Arabia, send me an email. address in bio.

I believe it would since cannabis also has sticky trichromes on its bud and surrounding leaves.

I think this is bad; not necessarily for the consumer, but for the industry as a whole. Reselling means that copies sold after the release benefit random consumers, not the develop…

Yes, it is more likely for a serviceman to die in training than in combat.

I disagree. What's the point of having a scroll if you are unable to read it? Now it is in a form(digital) to last another thousand years.

Am I missing something or does that article about a hook not include a picture of said hook?

It's not as if similar toasters don't exist. I have a similar one in my kitchen. https://www.kitchenaid.com/countertop-appliances/toasters/tw...
