Only idiots are basing their excitement about what's possible on those test scores. They're just an attempt to measure one bot against another. There is a strong possibility that they are only measuring how well the bot takes the

Antimatter was to be used to generate the energy required, by annihilation of regular matte, not the antigravity itself. "Exotic matter" is undefined as of yet in that it could still exist as something else. Some people are confus

I'm glad they settled this one; however, to my knowledge nobody thought Anti-Matter meant "Anti-gravity" w/rt Alcubierre warp drive. That's not what they meant by 'exotic matter.' But ok. sure. There was d

When you have millions of users, and your product has inherent danger, you can't assume the liability for all of them. (hammers and nails anyone?) The only reason that Microsoft has agreed to be liable for their users copyright stuff i

I think they successfully make their case and cite enough previous examples that they will win this. Individual users will get sued for infringement if they do silly things with the output, but I don't think training will be considered

'Covers' require the payment of ASCAP fees -- usually done by the facility, not the performer, but if the facility does not pay, the performer can be liable. You even need a license to put a jukebox in your bar, so that argument d

I worked with a team that was convinced of the superiority of elixir/erlang over ruby/rails in our ecosystem. It can accept thousands of simultaneous connections, etc. But the devil is in the details. If those connections include

Yes it would have. Planck mass black holes aren't even mentioned in this paper, I'm confused as to where this came from. PBH = 'primordial black hole' meaning formed at the beginning of the universe, not Planck Mass Blac

I'm not a business owner or a CEO, and I can say wholeheartedly that I do not believe unions are good for anybody. It's just like rent control that gives renters lower prices but it destroys the supply eventually. Unions that get

They don't provide a fungible service. There's nobody else providing the same service. It's ok to be unhappy about a service you're getting and still using the service, especially when there's no alternative. TikTok

It still is a thing. VB.net is a CLR language just like C#. You can use a tool to translate from one to the other and back.

Yup, that was also my take. I used to write 'on box' and you communicated between components using Com+, and when you switched to http, there was no reason to stick with just VB6.

This has been a seemingly impassable Rubicon, and Microsoft is building a bridge across it and posting guards along the way.

Another analogy could be someone doesn't realize they left their back door open and these guys come and point it out.

This is crazy cool! Esolangs have been a hobby of mine, (more just an interest lately, since I haven't built any in a while,) so this is like a fun code golf game for compilation. Nice work, and even better, nice explanation article!

The article at one point quotes a "disk drive analyst." Man I don't know if we have those anymore either.

I was officially employed as a help-desk tech while I was going to school for CS. I wrote some internal-only software we used to track all of the installed software on all the hosts in our network and catalog them to a database. This was i

True AI? What, like 'one model to rule them all?' Why does it matter how many models we are using? Do you have more than one computer in your computer? Is it a true computer?

I have often wondered about this: does padding and chopping to context size along arbitrary boundaries have lasting effect on the overall data (due to misalignment at the ends, some words or lines getting chopped in the middle, etc.) Does

I don't understand why anyone is acting like the emperor has no clothes just because the 'program' they had supposed was one thing is actually several modules of things. How is this different from literally any other software

This talks about two bodies, but would the Halo Drive ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.03423 ) also be one such thing? I mean, I guess the photons are the other bodies?

Meta is getting it done for free by releasing their models open source. Now everyone is building things that work with their models.

So, this site, which is for 'hackers' ostensibly should probably like to see articles about computer science and computer science related issues. I know that's what I come to this site for. If you post articles about AI, that

You forgot about the rest of us. Developers who are interested in the subject and want to read about the latest developments and techniques. We're actually interested in the computer science.
