> "everyone thinks differently, but it's all valid thinking" I don't agree that all thoughts are created equal.

Yes, and a human is a procreation machine. Bro.

Satellite/drone detection of nuclear material? Shooting missiles out of the sky?

Yes! But if science is bottlenecked by funding, making it cheaper might help?

I think they're overcorrecting for being too long-winded in previous generations (and still, in some cases). I guess this is a hard balance to get right.

My reply still works when s/develop/innovate/. Companies were (and are) allowed to innovate in order to solve the blocking problems around supersonic flight. They just weren't allo…

> There is no AI regulation in the US Well, there's the White House blocking models on a whim. I guess that's the closest they'll get to something resembling regulation.

The industry was allowed to develop, but not allowed to cause harm.

Yeah, we did the same thing when designing our house almost ten years ago now, using a HTC Vive running https://irisvr.com/prospect/ Just like the article says: Within a second aft…

Both parts of your comment lean on a sufficiently smart compiler to make up for recursion's natural disadvantage in maintaining locality of reference and performance. Sure, some co…

The prompt box on the landing page is fake. On submit, it just asks you to sign up for a mailing list. Do you honestly think that just after telling me that you lied to me earlier,…

Yes, and a high-level scripting language can in some specific circumstances be made to run code faster than a low-level compiled language. Generally, it's the other way around thou…

Perhaps.. Mistral seems to be focussing more on LLM application rather than foundation models. Seeing that the latter may be becoming commodities, Mistral may come out ahead.

I think most movies drop a bit in IMDb score over their first few years. That might (partly) explain it. Or you just prefer older movies . :-)

And then.. you're basically trapped inside the AWS cloud (due to egress costs and db latency). No thanks!

Does anything about that strike you as particularly unfair, given the moral compass defined by Big AI?

Shrug. Hard to feel sorry for companies that created their empires by ignoring copyright themselves. Also, 'most extensive industrial espionage campaign, probably ever' is absolute…

In this context "working" means selling. If you're selling the product that means that others are on board.

Is there any evidence suggesting that Ukraine is targeting civilians? And what 'orchestrators' exactly do you think benefit from sending their soldiers through a meat grinder? Yes,…

Fiber tethered drones don't need to be AI controlled.

What's online about this restart? Just that the tcp port keeps listening? I assume all running transaction will have to be aborted, right? And connections dropped?

That doesn't talk about showering illegals with welfare. And yes, deportation is hard when the target countries are not cooperating.

> The difference is EU doesn't do deportations and instead showers illegals with welfare I don't even know how to begin to respond to such nonsense.

> net positive for the state Being a good citizen is not the same as (or even all that much related to) receiving an above average salary.
