It's like that AI doom, where when you look at the floor and back up you're in a totally different room

I don't think the final point about programming languages makes much sense. In the overall software development process, lots of people contribute different things to create the pr…

I can see 3 ways that you can guarantee that the output of a model never violates copyright 1. Models are trained with 100% uncopyrighted or properly licensed input data 2. Every o…

I think the big difference is that it's not a direct replacement - it feeds off of the existing people while making it much harder for them to make a living. It would be as if inst…

> you address each time they do case by case. That's what I listed as #1 - evaluate each individual output of the model to see if it violates copyright.

It seems very difficult to ensure that a model will never output any of the copyrighted content that it was trained on. I can only think of three ways, but perhaps there are others…

I would have thought that purpleair was the best-known consumer brand. It looks like this May they introduced API pricing? But honestly, it still seems very reasonable https://comm…

> "create a new currency" Ah yes, Flooz and Beenz. So silly, but at least they didn't use a small country's worth of electricity.

they also had an internal source control system that they never released, which was a fork of perforce that they had purchased the rights to use and modify. Not sure if that's stil…

Exactly, I'm sure you're familiar with the kinds of difficulties and complications that creates. Rather than representing that curve analytically, you have to keep track of the pro…

The two best modelers I've seen for that kind of casual solid modeling are Plasticity https://www.plasticity.xyz and Moment of Inspiration http://moi3d.com Both are really focused …

Yeah, on the big kernels the time just getting filleting working robustly can be measured in developer-careers. The core problem isn't memory safety, it's due to difficulties with …

I found Bostom's Superintelligence to be the most boring Scifi I have ever read. I think it's probably possible to create a digital sentience. But LLM ain't it.

It reminds me of the Mirror Self-Recognition test. As humans, we know that a mirror is a lifeless piece of reflective metal. All the life in the mirror comes from us. But some of u…

Part of the provocation is that China has been seen testing balloons as a weapons delivery platform for high-speed gliding munitions https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/23758/vid…

I'd love a separate easy mode / hard mode top score

Twitter is better than ever? From what I've heard they've driven away a huge chunk of their advertisers and users, and stopped paying rent

One thing I'm wondering about is which side leaked this news item, and what their goal was

I think the overall question is whether the decrease in bison is offset by the increase in cattle. Bison primarily decreased in NA, but cattle increased worldwide.

This is a very interesting discussion, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. One thing I figured was worth checking was how many bison there were pre-industrialization, and how many …

Looks like I used the wrong word when I said dealer. It's apparently called Express Delivery where you "Take delivery at a Tesla location" https://www.tesla.com/support/taking-deli…

Tesla is such an odd company. They apparently have a great product, hardware and software. But the rest of the company is just an absolute shitshow Like, a friend recently received…
