It was legalised in Germany about 20 years ago. The proposal to legalise it was very thoughtful and readable, quite unlike your single-sentence assertion. Two brief examples that I remember: ① Many prostitutes were also witnesses to related

You may be relieved to hear that there's a straightforward process to have an RFC revised. Step 1 of that process, however, is reading the the RFC and the archived email about the RFC. You can't just arrive after publication, igno

I've written a few RFCs. For any RFC, there will be a "comment" after publication from someone who did not take earlier comments seriously enough to read them.

I fund it strange that anyone could even suggest training. Hundreds of videos since they started training: who can bring themselves to say that Meta or anyone would download hundreds of anything for AI training? If it were tens of thousan

It's good money for a reason. In France, you don't pay US prices for daycare for your children, you don't have to save up to send your children to university, and so on. This sort of comparison is difficult to do well. Say y

I may have misunderstood — don't they test for orthogonality? Orthogonality would seem to drop much of the information in the vectors.

The number of dimensions used is 768, wrote someone, and that isn't really very different from 365. But even if the number were big were were big, it could hardly escape fate: x has to be very big to keep (1-(1/x))¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ nea

As I read it, what they did there was a sanity-check by trusting the birthday paradox. Kind of: "If you get orthogonal vectors due to mere chance once, that's okay, but you try it billions of times and still get orthogonal vectors

It sounds as if you are suggesting that if some country bans an activity x, then the US ought to ban f(x) for some function f.

I see: The first tranche requires him to achieve a P/E ratio of about 400 if the other graphs stay flat, or maybe 500 with some decline. I've heard of higher P/E ratios in growing companies, but that's a real challenge f

Do you happen to know what the pay deal specifies in case revenue and profit are largely flat? Ditto if they decline?

I think you're saying that so long as the time-critical work is done by unpaid workers and the rest waits for three weeks, the shutdown has no bad consequences. Makes sense. But do you have any insight into what happens if the unpaid w

I'm an eco-head and not worried. Deployment of new solar etc. is doubling very roughly every year, worldwide. In the year that solar++ deployment was 0.1% of total power use, total energy use only needed to grow by 0.11% in order for f

Page count… reminds me of when I accidentally found the Italian regulations for cheese while on a trip, an official-looking book the size of a dictionary. I started reading. There was a neat preamble first, then a section for each kind of c

Thank you so much for that number. It's a relevant fact, and while many people posted their opinions, you alone mentioned that fact.

There's much to say about several of those, but let's focus on one. The first, perhaps. Could you perhaps elaborate? What were these promises, by whom, was it a treaty, did any country promise to veto an application if e.g. Poland

My Apple ARM laptop has 24+ hours battery lifetime in practice, three times as much as the best laptop I had in the 2000-2015 period, and it's lighter than most of those laptops too. (Can't remember the battery lifetime of my 2015

I don't understand why "we're like a gas, and expand to fill the space we're in". What makes the simile apply to e.g. AI or 5G when it doesn't apply to others, e.g. computer prices?
