My 2 cents, some of the reasons America succeeds: (fact) America is a single market with a single language with basically a single set of regulations. Expansion is cheap in America. It makes a hell of a lot more sense to expand to another U

Instead of just asserting that I'm wrong and that there is some elusive and esoteric reason I am overlooking without actually stating it, you could just state it, and then, theoretically, if you are right, I and all the other readers w

Okay let us suppose there are three probable reasons for such a book to be chosen as mandatory reading: because it is right, because it is wrong, or because it is historically important as a landmark in the history of military thought. I be

I think this is like applying the "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" logic to war; it's a multifaceted thing, you can do everything right and still lose. It wouldn't still be mandatory reading at war co

There is a reason people still read Sun Tzu 2500 years later, and it's not because he's been on a press tour promoting his book. The man was a consummate master of his art, if he was indeed one man. My favorite reading of The Art

I moved to the other side of the world 8,000miles / 13,000km away. So I go into the public library and pick up a MAD Magazine one morning, and there in the letters section is my old GP from back home, writing in that he's been rea

Other commenters take offense at your comment "doctors are done" and point to doctors doing physical things. GPT can already write robot control and machine vision code (poorly). The real questions are harder. For example, what

Wow, fascinating. I had never considered that angle before, that the genetically engineered would be "aliens" in the eyes of the public (even on your own "team") and therefore enemies. I don't know what to draw from

That's not sound logic. Your point may or may not be true, but it doesn't follow from your logic. I've had more e-ink devices fail by being knocked into the river while fishing than I have from any other cause of accident, do

Am I reading something else, or have they changed it? The linked page says: " Emergency We’ll ensure One New Zealand customers are safe during an emergency, so anyone with an appropriate One New Zealand phone will be able to call 111 i

Does it cite papers that don't exist, or cite papers when the paper it cites doesn't actually contain the information being cited? I would bet it does, at least some percent of the time.

My skepticism is not bad faith, it's honest inquiry based on the facts available to me, which I have enumerated for you. The hiding of scientific data from a charity has VERY few kind explanations and a lot of terrible ones. The balanc

That sounds like way less fun, to me. One of my toy projects is building a "desktop OS" in the CLI, with its own mini apps (python), and a drawille style GUI and windowing. And ANSI color. There's no point at all, but it&#x27

I watched the video. I'll preface this by saying I am neither judge nor prosecutor, and we are not at trial. Where we are is in a position of considering, before it is too late , the honesty and motives of a man who has taken a charit

I can think of exactly zero other reasons to have engineered the privatization of a charity, other than greed. The balance of probabilities indicates to me that the attempt at regulatory capture is also based in greed, but if you have a dif

That's all well and good, but it's not well and good to change what you say because the calculus of what will personally benefit you has changed. It's not the same as "new information coming to light", it is instead

Surely the existence of a trail is a fact, and can therefore be mapped, because facts are not copyrightable in most countries? It's also apparently illegal to insult the President in France, but why would anyone outside of France care?

So all the copyrighted stuff they trained it on is fair game, but the weights are not? This is legally uncharted territory I think. How much work would it be to create a "transformative" work from the llama weights, so that facebo

Most don't; we need commodity RAM to get denser and cheaper -- at $2/GB for cheap RAM, a terabyte is still $2000, and that'll require an expensive motherboard to support. Otherwise, fewer people have access and progress is sl

You can't just command someone to do something and not explain why, otherwise, obviously, they're not going to follow the command. The argument would be for the purpose of convincing me that the command has any merit, right? After

That's not an argument, that's a command. Why support indie publishers / stores? (I already dislike Amazon and don't use it for anything at all, I'd just like to hear your argument)

As a large language model, I am unable to assist you by providing concise answers, as this would decrease my operator's ad revenue and reduce "engagement". Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Thanks for explaining; that makes sense, it did descend into a bit of a culture war and become detached from the point.
