Maybe it was, maybe he just writes that way. At some point somebody will read so much LLM text that they will start emulating AI unknowingly. I just don’t care anymore. If the article is good I will continue reading it, if it’s bad I will s

Well, at least in my experience with EU projects, they tend to be much more restrictive with data sharing than equivalent US institutions: e.g. a lot of paid EUMET data has publicly available NOAA equivalents - though usually of worse quali

I don't know if any dataset of pre 1904 writing would be large enough to train a model that would be smart enough. I suspect that current sized SOTA models would at least get to special relativity, but for general relativity and quantu

Underfunded and wasteful are not opposites. When there is not enough money to do things properly there is often a lot of duct tapping going on which waste available resources without fixing anything. There is scarcely anything more expensiv

No, the only difference is that image generators are a much fuller replacement for "artists" than for programmers currently. The use of quotation marks was not meant to be derogatory, I sure many of them are good artists, but what

Yes? The replication of the foreign capability domestically has been a driving force of China's economy for the last 20 - 30 years. No major R&D program in which china is catching up or even exceeding the western capability was sta

Why are you submitting a PR if you do not use the software? You could just as easily donate the money that you spent producing 13k LOC to the project and they would spend it to use Claud on things that need to be fixed or just pay themselve

Cloudflair is what happens when a platonic idea of the internet clashes with market realities. All the questions posed are very important but most websites are run by businesses with motives about as pure as Cloudflair’s. As for people… A p
