Intelligence that is artificial, as opposed to the natural kind. Not something that can just string semantically relevant words together most of the time. A system that learns, adapts, improves. One that can generalize, and quickly make sen

What's with all this make believe delusional bullshit? The LLM is not gonna wake up and become AI. Get real guys. [edit] to be clear, I believe regulation is necessary and urgently important for the software engineering field. The dama

But it speaks in words, therefore it must be super duper extra smart!!11 /s Sarcasm aside, I think this is an easy cognitive trap to fall into. It does sometimes feel like the LLM must have some world model because it converses somew

I go through a couple pairs of carhartts per year, so like $10/mo for pants basically. Seems like a pretty good deal. I'd probably go through at least twice as many pairs of jeans. It's a good product. Darn Tough socks are an

IIUC it's an open question whether they have the electricity to actually run all the "compute" they own on paper. That aside, I'm not sure why it's particularly interesting they have all this "compute" (le

Yeah I would prefer to run something with an actual tread wear rating, as I believe it would spew less microplastic crap into the environment, and I suspect I might pick up 1-2mpg (maybe 5-7% better?) fuel economy with a less aggressive tir

I've got two sets of wheels, and I rotate my tires every oil change, so it's not laziness that's the motivation. Instead, it was that with 2 sets of tires after 7 years of driving both sets still had tons of tread left but we

All season tires are useless on snow and ice unless they're brand new. They're OK the first winter, after that it's bad news. On heavier vehicles I run BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A tires year round. They have good siped tr

Spot on. This is where a lot of these "terms and conditions" break down logically. Viewing some content on the internet is literally copying it . So is the distinction that xcancel served the content? But when I run mtr xca

Lately I've just been leaving my snow tires on year round (Bridgestone Blizzaks). It gets cold here, between November and April the number of days with daytime high above freezing is small. I used to run all seasons in the summer and s

That's why I won't touch new equipment with a ten foot pole. I buy old stuff and then end up having to do major rebuilds. I realize this is somewhat of a luxury, and damn is it nice. In the last calendar year, this is basically th

Reading codes is only part of it. For the last quarter century or so (some manufacturers more than others) if you replace certain components (radio, any computer module) you need to update the ECU to recognize the new component. This requir

Why would you pay extra for some website the company could just take away from you on a whim? I have the bound paper repair manuals for my 1998 Dodge truck, my 1995 Toyota, and my 2002 Kubota tractor. Nobody can arbitrarily take those away.

> It’s informed by trend extrapolations, wargames, expert feedback, experience at OpenAI, and previous forecasting successes. In other words: bias. Tons and tons of self-congratulatory, glue sniffing bias.

I have Haier Arctic heat pumps that are made in China. They've been great so far. I've also worked with suppliers in Shenzhen for one-off custom electronic devices that would put western companies to shame in their communication,

I currently have R410a heat pumps with minisplits, when they're off warranty sometime in the future I might consider putting propane in them. The main question would be whether the oil used with R410a is compatible with propane as a re

It's the kind of thing that should make people think, but I wonder to what extent anyone does anymore when it comes to this kind of risk of a vendor stealing from you.

This kind of coercive, threatening rhetoric is really not surprising at all. This is how tech companies operate. What stands out to me is the naive lack of operational security on the part of academics, who should know better than to touch

Why is it always "you clearly haven't used the latest model, let me tell you this time it'll blow your socks off!" How many times have we heard this? If it wasn't true all the other times why must I believe it now?

It would require an authorized human to load the floppy into the drive and make it go. And there's nothing special about that process being done in code, it could just as well be done by people flipping switches manually. There's
