With NVidia/OpenAI actual graphics cards did change hands. Vendor financing, like when a car dealership gives you a loan to buy a new car, is actually pretty normal.

It does have oil. And the reason the UAE is backing the RSF is that they have gold interests there.

On my laptop I have a yin-yang with DRY and YAGNI replacing the dots.

I meant to include both SAE 2 and 3. I think having both lane keeping and cruise control on at the same time will tend to cause people to lose focus in a way they wouldn't if they had to do one or the other.

SAE level 2 is just a bad idea. People can't be expected to carefully monitor a car and take over at a moment's notice when it's doing all the driving. My adaptive cruise control is great and I hope to have a future car whe

If they wanted they could always just double the $/token. They don't seem to be able to keep up with their current demand and that's what companies normally do in that circumstance if they're looking to money grab, no n

"Poison" can also refer to a substance toxic to other animals. We say that chocolate is poisonous to dogs for instance. And a good fraction of Earth's biosphere was killed off by oxygen poisoning in the first of Earth'

I was misremembering, it's actually cats where hetrochromatic eyes is associated with females. In humans there isn't any difference.

It's more reproducing than surviving. If the population of some species increases and the number of copies of some allele remains constant we could consider than gene less fit than the other alleles, in the population genetics sense.

Likewise humans with heterochromatic eyes are generally women.

There actually isn't any locking involved. I can take a new, officially unsupported version of ROCm and just use it with my 7900 XT despite my card not being officially supported and it works. It's just that AMD doesn't fee

A asteroid has to be absolutely huge to make it all the way down to the surface without slowing down to terminal velocity. Your typical 1kg asteroid will have slowed to terminal velocity dozens of km above the surface. The smaller an obje

I'm guessing running a 200 Hz command rate on an e-series UR which uses 1 kHz internally will give you a protective stop?

It's a good thing in many cases but not if you're going to be running applications distributed as binaries. Maybe if we go the Gentoo route of everybody always recompiling everything for their own system?

It's hard to imagine a student putting together a RVA23 core in a single semester. And you don't really want that in the embedded roles RISC-V has found a lot of success in either.

I think you have a different understanding of what exactly a brand is than do most people. Every profession has the right to develop its own jargon that subtly redefines common words in its own way so I'm not going to say that you&#x2

Is this the first time internal communications like this have leaked from Anthropic? It'll be unfortunate if Anthropic can't have honest conversations internally going forward for fear of leaks.

That means they're not conscious in the Global Workspace[1] sense but I think it would be going too far to say that that means they're not intelligent. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_workspace_theory

That might be true for the desktop, but RISC-V is wonderful from a pedagogical and research standpoint for academic uses and in the embedded world its license and "only pay for what you need" is also quite nice.

Yeah, the paper launch OP is talking about happened way back in May 2024.

Anthropic's whole worry with mass surveillance was that current law is too loose in the age of AI to offer enough restraint.

How confident are we, with OpenAI's recent very large contribution to Trump's PAC, that OpenAI wasn't working to get Anthropic designated a supply chain risk behind the scenes? I don't want to be too paranoid here but g

Not just companies that we think of as defense contractors but a whole ton of corporations that do business with the federal government. They'd be treating Anthropic like it was controlled by the CCP or Revolutionary Guards.

The sunset and also fires. Humans have been making fires for a million years and in addition to allowing us to evolve much smaller guts they've also had time exert pressure on our behavior.

If you're the sort of person not to use a pre-packaged desktop environment, you can use mako as your notofication daemon and get the same effect by adding on-notify=exec play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/s

Years of working in embedded computing have left me with the impression that most hardware companies are just bad at software. I think part of it is that the long cycle times of making hardware push them towards a culture of waterfall deve

The formula for the equilibrium temperature for a sphere in sunlight is 2 * pi * r^2 * L / (4 * pi * d) * (1 -a) = 4 * pi * r^2 * sigma * T^4 As you can see there are pi*r^2 on both sides of the equation, the surface area to c

The rock in this case acts as extra thermal mass that makes it take longer to reach thermal equilibrium, but doesn't change what the ultimate thermal equilibrium is. Only the configuration of the parts of the surface that can absorb o
