Why, it seems like the supply is limited by the ability to provide, and the demand is limited by market alienation. They raise their prices too high, a lot of customers will still buy but be unhappy about it, it's burning goodwill for

I found the waffle reduced my overall usage. It doesn't matter much if it's smarter if it also needs more babysitting. It's quite good at making something quite advanced that is tangentially related to what you actually w

Apart from the ethical implications this is reckless in the extreme if you take into account the recent advances in AI. Putting misinformation out there like that doesn't just have to fool existing LLMs but also all of the LLMs to com

For me the bar is still quality. Sure it bothers me if I search for something and find a crappy AI written tutorial that answers none of my questions, but if I found a high quality well written, insightful, and informative tutorial, I wou

I'm not so sure about that. I still refer to buildings by the names that they were dedicated to instead of the brand deal renaming. I'm still fighting a model that insists on using seam where it means interface.

I have have been accused of being an AI for saying phrases like this. The way that people refuse to read anything with certain structures makes me wonder if you can construct arguments that can have false statements go unchallenged because

Copper interconnects might have been introduced around then, but I suspect the naming is more coincidental than anything. I remember just after IBM got copper interconnects working, there was a stock market dive, I ranted to my partner abo

Why that many people per month? What timeframe were you considering for them to pay off their expenditure? For that matter what are you estimating their total expenditure to be?

I think there's something to that. My starter program for 9 year olds was print("draw with the arrow keys"); var cx=320; var cy=240; function move() { if (keyIsDown(38)) cy-=1; if (keyIsDown(40)

He was challenged on this by Alastair Campbell who asked him how much this will cost the exchequer His immediate response. “Well, if the exchequer wants a 99 flake, it’ll cost them 99p.”

Isn't that because they are aiming for the biggest targets. Anything that became similarly successful would be similarly targeted. Being small enough that malicious actors are not interested in you is beneficial, but by definition it

That raises the question of what is it actually doing? If it isn't spending tokens on quality, is it the assumptions about the task difficulty that cause it to perform better? Or are their broader differences in the model being run.

Prediction is compression, but I am not sure if it is true the other way around. It's obvious that an accurate predictor enables encoding only the data that the predictor gets wrong. But a compressor can encode patterns that defy predi

Why would bots be limited to twitter? Wouldn't Bluesky be just as susceptiblle. I stopped using Bluesky because I was seeing too many people celebrating the misfortune of others. I didn't have that on twitter, I know people we

I think, much of the problem is we do not expect better. For every person asking a company to do the right thing there seems to be a dozen who will say there's no point and how dare you even talk to them. I don't think that repres

That is not what this debate is about. The debate is about whether we know that the point of focus can be described as massive GHG when compared in proportion to other emitters. How much is the plant actually going to emit? Is the number t

>How would focusing on one of the largest new CO2 emitters not have a notable impact? Because without context you have no idea what that actually means. If you get attacked by an unknown number of duck sized horses, how much of an effect

That would suggest if no-one purchased it, it would just be flared off. Does the negative price come about because of pathological financial conditions, or is it the case that the producers are financially penalised for flaring?

I am all for fact finding, but it does require being clear about what you are specifically talking about. I have no idea what "climate pollution" is supposed to mean, is it exclusively CO2? is it CO2 and methane? Does it cov

Because without enough information to truly place it in context, you may be focusing on something that may not have a notable impact on the overall problem. For starters, why focus on the plant being built when it has been permitted. If y

In broad strokes I tend to agree. I think there is a fairly good path to moving most things to electricity and in turn moving most electricity generation to renewables. The more nuanced view is that I would support a residual use of fossi

They are not destroying any books to make any claim. They are doing it so the pages fit in the scanner. Without an example of an actual rare book that is shown to have been destroyed, all there is is the is the claim they have the capabilit

I have heard allegations that they might be destroying non replaceable books, but only as a hypothetical. Replacibility is the standard tbat matters in this which I mentioned in my post. I haven't heard of a specific instance of an oc
