Russia, China, Iran etc. are throwing a hissy fit whenever even a small weapons are deployed in the neighboring countries. USA too if we are being fair. They won't even wait for that opportunity.

The problem with space elevator is not only the lack of material today, but also the fact that such elevator is an ultimate and very fragile weapons platform, you basically get stones up the well and then drop them on the enemy. Meaning tha

Poland does this for their Leonardo (Lady With An Ermine). It is housed in a separate room, tickets are separate and it is sometimes rotated between different museums (at least I saw her in two different ones by now). It it really helpful p

Token do have use case, obviously. Like, we can see countless usecases with our own eyes. Tokens don't have any legal and at the same time competitive use case, that was the argument. All of those castle in sky constructs about how the

And they did not in fact had dollars to back them up. They did not had them for a few years continuously. The lesson is, you never bet even on a surefire stake if there is market corruption involved. Or if mafia money involved. In case of T

So, every single human opinion must be followed up with a real money gambling bet or it is meaningless?

Market bubble is essentially a gambling event gone wrong. Shorting stock is widely recognized by people smarter than me, as high risk gambling, due multiple factors. So now please tell me, why would people concerned about gambling gone wron

Hey now, you can't say they don't have any product. We got a machine which can factor number 15 now. (with a preparation time for this calculation of only a few month) Isn't that amazing? We will be breaking RSA2048 any day n

So a sign of AGI or intelligence on par with human is the ability to solve small generic math problems? And it still requires a handler human level intellinge to be paired with, to even start solving those math problems? Is that about righ

When I write AI I mean what LLM apologists mean by AGI. So to rephrase I was talking about so called AGI 50 years ago in a calculator. I don't like this recent term inflation.

First of all, it's zero thinking tasks, calculators can't think. But let's call it that way for the sake of an argument. LLM can do less than a dozen thinking tasks, and I'm generous here. Generating text, generating sti

Also, I like like how almost nobody takes issue with a decade time interval. If he means that current LLMs, slowly plateauing in performance, would somehow take a decade to create AI (which he calls AGI)? Where would this fantastical gain i

Calculator can do arithmetic better than a human. Does this mean we have so called AI for half a century now?

A) number of times people want factual data from LLMs - the more they do it, the more they encounter gibberish generator. B) the amount of efforts to correct LLM output - some people get 80% ready output, spend some time to rewrite it to be

Technically he is right. USA is the main chemtrail country on a planet, legally spraying lead on its own citizens for decades how. Maybe this is how RFK got his brain damage :)

You are correct, but the difference is that companies doing that in Europe are breaking the law if they treat cattle with banned compounds, while in USA farmers do this legally and at scale. This is why in this particular case I believe tha

"Plastic" tomatoes has nothing to do with their nutritional score or inclusion of dangerous compounds. It's just a cheaper tomato variety with thicker skin and most likely harvested early, to be conditioned on the shelf. So t

The problem is that to a European citizen this is a bit unexpected. In Europe, in all countries, you can find roughly the same level of "safeness" of food across all tiers of stores. Go to a cheapest one and the most expensive one

They are not as harmful as some other corporations, but for some weird reason I hate such parasites on our society much more than some bigger offenders. And I'm not even from USA :) . How do you all tolerate this?

First of all, you or anyone else probably can't train LLM to do that reliably. It's not like you can re-program it's weights manually as a human, it's not possible. You can only generate new synthetic training data which

What LLM programs do has zero resemblance to the human agency. That's just a modern variation of very complex set of GoTos and IfElses. Agency would be an LLM parsing your question and answering you "fuck off". Now that is ag

Oh, I completely agree, home charging even today is significantly cheaper than gas price (adjusted). The problem is that charging at home can be done only by people owning a detached or semi-detached house. So it's basically only possi
