Common sense - the experience gained from your common everyday experience of reality - does not apply in black holes. Common sense would tell you they can't exist at all because you can't compress atoms - you have lived your entir

Rather depends on the "spoils" capacity of the channel. The windfall may not even justify the initial expenditure before it's exhausted.

Which should inform the credibility of anyone declaring one issue or another would definitely motivate voters to come out and vote for whatever policy they want to say is a winner: the last two elections, despite enormous new voter activati

Sure but are we going to do anything sensible about it or is it just a convenient culture war vector? This is happening because copyright means you can't scan these without destroying them as a format conversion. No one's felt c

If the model behaves well in a world of fake SSL certificates, then that can be the only world it sees: there's no reason to let LLMs have e2e encrypted comms that's not mitm'd and logged for their regular users. My regular h

Normally I agree, but making the implementation initially ineffective is a good way to complicate more far reaching measures. Americans aren't standing up against this, but they might have considerably more interest if the government w

The bigger issue is that most of the files you're likely to capture in "version everything" are just noise. Disk space is far from cheap when the value of what's being stored is basically zero. You can version everything

LOL. If it dies, it dies. People take the weirdest rhetorical hostages.

Except the other side of this is interrupting a service which would otherwise have succeeded: there's a lot of unattended or minimally attended processes where an interruption is just asking the user to do the only thing they were goin

It basically revolutionized the entire industry and thank god. Opinionated standard formatting is now the default.

In the current environment unless people start decommissioning datacenters en masse supply will be locked up till the early 2030s IMO. Even if you started a new fab today, it's 5 years till it comes online. The great hope here is that

In don't look up anyone with a telescope could've confirmed the danger. Hence the title. In the real world, absolutely no one except a bunch of heavily fiscally incentivized parties with unclear relationships are saying anything h

So punchline, probably a good idea to electrify all the cars yeah?

Yes that would be my exact point.

More importantly that did take subterfuge: there's no way a contract that large would've been agreed to by both manufacturers if they knew the other was signing it. The actual deals were hours apart and secret for that reason. It&

Yes everyone took Econ 101. Now what do you think happens when developing new supply is substantially constrained by lead times? Coz a whole lot less of you have ever dealt with manufacturing logistics.

Which is exactly what's happening. There used to be a lot more then 3 makers but up till very recently memory was a comedically low margin business you didn't go into.

You're old, you have no idea what the kids are into. How accurate did the endless news reports about your generation feel when you were young?

The more interesting aspect of that is that there's an element of recall implicit in that though: if someone was active, moving around and interacting according to observers then whether they were conscious during that time is heavily

Except that's a bad analogy: electricity is the means by which to do work. The outputs of models in AI datacenters are the work . The electricity company does not get the entirety of my useful input to the work as a result of me using

The real issue is that biology needs actual experiments done in the physical world, which isn't nice and orderly and well behaved and easily loadable onto a 19" rectangular box.

Except the actual workers don't: very very few consistently earn a higher wage, instead on a "good night" they count the win and ignore the losses when it's not. Even with reliable good nights the off nights eat away at

Their purchasing costs are much lower proportionally. China has cheaper electricity and a more capable grid for the industrial type usage levels they need to drive.

Which for the majority of the population isn't relevant. The people most obsessed with "BMI isn't accurate" are overweight people making excuses for themselves.

Except that's for pathetically small datasets. What real datasets exist where this would be a worthwhile trade off versus simply owning the hardware? The numbers are so bad that underpowered local hardware would still beat it.

"Look up - there's 7 polywaffles in the sky!" That phrase will pass almost every single password requirement, and no one is going to crack it by brute force dictionary attack.

If character class constraints are enforced then that password becomes incredibly strong though - e.g. require a capital, and special characters and a number. Plenty of sentence passwords meet that but now the probability space has exploded

I see tailscale also use the pure Go SQLite conversion so I hope this fix will land there soon, it's rapidly become one of my favorite packages for self-contained tools.

We've been circling that since "thing reddit" became the most optimum search.

My solution to this was just to stop using Facebook. Though evidently someone's cut a deal because Facebook groups is all over Google search results these days.
