I’m not saying these tasks are high stakes so much as they inherently require high levels of accuracy. Programmers can improve code so the accuracy threshold for utility is way lower when someone is testing before deployment. That differe

Screens and radios do a lot to limit battery life on most modern devices even if the energy use running the OS and user software was free. If with a reasonable battery standby mode can only last a few weeks and active use is at best a few d

I don’t think it’s an oversimplification as accuracy is what constrains LLMs across so many domains. If you’re a wealthy person asking ChatGPT to write a prenup or other contract to use would be an act of stupidity unless you vetted it with

This is all really arbitrary metrics across such wildly different fields. IMO LLMs are where computer vision was 20+ years ago in terms of real world accuracy. Other people feel LLMs offer far more value to the economy etc.

Oddly I’m pretty sure a strong guy throwing a rock really hard at someone without the walkways would do way more damage. Nails at those speeds just aren’t that dangerous because their momentum is so low and they aren’t particularly sharp.

The signal based on private information is what’s causing the harm not the movement of money. They could cause the same harm by encoding a signal in the timing of a money transfer, or hell using carrier pidgins. I could send your username

You can get this kind of interfere even if the signal from the router to your device is sitting just above the noise floor and the property next to you is doing the same thing. Both signals are so weak they get drowned out by an even weak

The payoff for AWS is the contract itself. Ultimately, it’s Israel that benefits from this information but being paid by your employer to commit fraud in a call center counts even if you’re not getting a cut of that specific victim.

Stuff is generally also fraud rather than only being fraud. We don’t know the details of what else happened so we can’t say what other crimes occurred. Same deal as most illegal things public companies do also being SEC violations.

That could be generally true, but it’s not true in this specific instance. A panel in Alaska only collects so much sunlight over the summer before considering efficiency losses from Hydrogen. It would require buying panels that effectively

Carful when saying it’s not cheaper, it’s generally profitable to add some batteries to a solar power plant. The economics on storage only kicks in after scaling the grid with a lot of solar, but adding solar to that point is itself profita
