I don't know, but compared to the scale of the gigantic crater that's visible in the image, whatever it was was pretty much nothing in the grand scheme.

That histogram is one of the most perfect real world lognormal distributions I've ever seen.

He's not alone. The Motley Fool has recommended it, holds positions in it, and received financial services from them. But, no comment about Jim Cramer would be complete without mentioning that there's now literally an "inver

Hah. I knew what this was before I clicked on it, and still said "whoa!"

As the saying goes, there are only two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off by one errors.

How exactly does the same amount of labor need doing when there will fewer people who need anything in the near future? You seem to be saying more labor per person is necessary to satisfy this “need.” That doesn’t seem beneficial to worke

What if the payoff is arbitrarily high? Do you believe there is any limit to the potential benefits of AGI short of those necessarily imposed by a finite planet? Who would’t want the equivalent of a tool that designs, builds, delivers, in

Lol!! France literally shut itself down today because of a general strike in response to raising the eligibility age for a state pension from 62 to 64, and somehow the US is one of “the most liberal places” in the world. Damn, I think you m

"Guardrails and safety measures" are useless. All it does is set up a multiplayer prisoner's dilemma situation among all the groups working on these things. If there's anything we know from game theory, it's that

I'm not going to debate whether enough people to fill multiple major cities is a "huge" class or not. Go nitpick someone else if that's your only point.

You don't believe individual landlords exist? They have a whole, entire subreddit, r/Landlord. Voilà, quod erat demonstrandum. To wit: > Of the approximately 50 million rental housing units in the United States, around 41%

A world where you cannot rent is also one where there isn't a huge class of people who own more housing units than they could possibly live in.

Very common in mathematics as well. There are lots of results that people use every day that don't seem to have a published proof. They're literally called "folklore" theorems. https://en.wikipedia.org/

Why not skill at writing 8-legged essays[0] instead? Either way, you're so far away from anything that maps directly on to "is this person likely to succeed as an X level software engineer at Y company" that it's all pr

I loved being able to play Diablo 2 with my Voodoo 5. There could be 100 mobs, plus shitloads of fog effects and fire on screen, and I'd still get like 60 fps.

Not really. Not under OSX, brew makes this simple. Under Linux, worst case, you just download the source and compile it. (Not sure about Windows though.)

I don't see why that's relevant.

Yes, ~1 billion from $177 billion in global revenue is a negligible cost.

by actually_a_dog 4y ago
Yes, I disagree that fining a company with nearly $117 billion in revenue a billion euro is “large.” That’s “cost of doing business” money, not any kind of punishment or deterrent.

Yep, from test.js: > const input = '(add 2 (subtract 4 2))'; > const output = 'add(2, subtract(4, 2));';

What huge fines? The largest fine I can find on record is Apple being fined $14.8B for their tax scheme.

If you believe there's a world "where OpenAI 'solves' jailbreaks," then you believe there is such a thing as software without bugs.

I don't see any evidence in either your or the GP's post.

by actually_a_dog 4y ago
It's called "lack of available evidence." You can't use the fact that there isn't evidence of a thing happening in order to give the theory weight. When the evidence comes out, if it exists, and if it ever does co

This is exactly why I can't give this article, or any of those multiple intelligence agency assessments any real credence. I don't have access to any of the data that went into those assessments. What I do have access to doesn&#

> 75% of all new infectious diseases come from animals. How many of those do we have start to finish routes from animals to humans? And if we don't have that route, how many of those are we suspecting of being lab leaks? None, as fa

You don't need to "discredit" the hypothesis very much, because it shouldn't have any real "credit" to begin with. The only evidence for it at all seems to be the proximity of the Wuhan lab to the first known

I'm a little disappointed by this article. After all, I'm sure the author knows that anything that stinks with sulfur can be made stinkier by substituting selenium! Selenoacetone is worse than thioacetone! https://www
