That's not the whole story of what google does though, right? The other side of the medal: Google uses their content to stay relevant and make money off of ads.

Well, if this means he doesn't have to pay the $179m, and a pardon costs $2m [1], that makes sense for him. [1] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/17/rudy-giulian...

Good. (At the risk of stating the obvious: Changing commonly established things is how progress works.)

Yeah. I understand the unfortunate symbolism of right-wing intruders taking the chambers but I still think in terms of injuries/ fatalities while staff and lawmakers were evacuated, this was a successful de-escalation. (This [well, &#x

Ok, thank you, that makes sense. I read replies from another thread before writing that (asking why people haven't been shot etc.) so I was on a different track here.

Yes, one intruder has been shot. No injured guards/ officers/ staff/ journalists reported (afaik). I cannot help but think that this is a comparatively! good outcome when dealing with armed right-wingers. EDIT: Heard on C-S

> "draw me a picture of XXX" and it's actually doing it. To me that's utterly incredible. Sure, would be, but this is not happening here. And yes, rest assured, the rest of the world is probably less 'blasé'

I was not sure if this needed a response but here it goes: I don't think this is a negotiation but rather a tactical withdrawal.

I would not want terrorists personally honored by such a distinction. Seems like something they'd aim for.

Right, that was unnecessary and I edited it out. What I meant is that 'not' is in principal an easy keyword to implement 'conservatively'. But yes, having this in a language model has proven to be very hard. Edit: Can I

Yes, I don't really see impressive language (i.e. GPT3) results here? It seems to morph the images of the nouns in the prompt in an aesthetically-pleasing and almost artifact-free way (very cool!). But it does not seem 'understand

Seems to me that everything then would simply become more expensive to sustain Bezos's (or others') wealth?

It is ctrl+cmd+space for me and I don't remember changing it. Completely agree about the search. E.g., I sometimes want the cmd sign (⌘), which is named "place of interest". Sure, that makes sense from unicode and in other co

Genuine question, how do you (or others) check the facts? Where do you get facts from?

Serious question: why? Is there any kind of transparent auditing going on?

And neither is Norway.

So would it be impossible/expensive to provide storage for those registers/memory etc. that can survive power-off, and then copy the state from there upon power-on? How much time would something like that take compared to initiali
54.
by adsche 7y ago
Right, or even just something like suspend-to-disk (or other storage) but for the pre-OS part of the boot (so that constant power isn't required). Why can this not work?
55.
by adsche 7y ago
Yes, but do you have an idea why that is, why is it so much more reliable to initalize every time than to generate an initialized configuration and reuse that? Developer errors? Not enough testing?
56.
by adsche 7y ago
Absolutely! But couldn't this be moved from a productivity/time problem to a storage/packaging problem? I.e., do the initialization once and save its state until some major factors change? Storage seems to be quite inexpensiv
57.
by adsche 7y ago
Yes, I was thinking of Emacs, too. I'm basically curious why the BIOS etc. couldn't run once, store the result of initialization and then resuse that on every boot until the configuration changes.
58.
by adsche 7y ago
Sure, that all makes sense, but why could it not do the initialization once (when something changes like you describe), save it, and reuse it next time? EDIT: Ah, sorry, you're saying the enumeration/scanning for changes is what t
59.
by adsche 7y ago
But then the questions are, why does it need to initialize? Why doesn't it start in an initialized state, what factors make it impossible to determine that initialized state beforehand and storing it? How close can we get?

I'm very compelled to pre-order one but has anybody heard any news about the touchscreen or the CPU issue? I worry that there is no word on either in the recent update (like what is being done, what is missing...?)
