Cambridge Analytics shows that there's no "seeking out", instead it enters your feed on Facebook and other sites. That you don't go looking, but it's recommended. And CA did quite well doing this, so it's not

Everything you speak, utter, or do is an output your self-centric view of the world. By uttering anything, you are describing yourself in relation to the world. Your very existence is an argument against chaos. Your very individuality is a

And yet, a statement is a position, and this blog is stating his case, which is an argument for truth. So he's still arguing, yet not listening, as it's all one sided now. This isn't actually that unusual, books, newspapers,

This feels hand wavy. I could make the same claim of a bridge before it collapses, without realising the steel was weak, or had micro fractures. Where's the proof? What an outlandish claim! Don't you see traffic flowing as norma

Well there's only one reason, so you do indeed know why. Here's the thing, by 2028, maybe 2029, 1/2 the cloud AI providers are going to go bankrupt, or severely downsize. This will likely be due to massive reduced power and

You're missing the point. The issue is "how is the thing used" not trying to make identical break points in differing tech. A self driving car cannot have object detection, collision avoidance, human detection offloaded to

Nice post. A note if the author is about, I had to use ublock origin to remove the header, as it hid text at the start of each page when printing. Firefox. (I prefer to read longer articles on my e-ink device via epub or PDF)

The same logic for why self-driving cars can't be cloud based, applies for robots. Something cannot be in the middle of a delicate operation and then "oops!", no network, it just stops. The larger the context window, the bet

Androids (humanoid robots) will require loads of ram, and loads of model training under the current paradigm. So it sort of makes sense. At least, I see robots as the top of the pyramid.

Yes, and you're 100% right, but context is needed here for others even if you know this next bit. The original shuttle designs were much, much better. I remember reading tech specs and looking at schematics in Discover and Popular Sci

This could be like warrants and judicial overview. Warrants are not slow. This is only a gatekeep on "does this make any sense". And of course, the cost of the court system/overview/etc could be born by judgments ag

And yet, it was colder than -40C. I think you believe temperatures are far more homogeneous than they are. On my way home, 500M of road over a hill makes 35C turn into 31C. And no, weather stations aren't everywhere. I think the near

I live in the Ottawa region, and it was indeed -40C for a week where I live. My Jetta screaming "warning extreme cold!" at start, and the kitchen window thermometer I have doubly validate that. I'm also 20 minutes to downtow

I think the original, mouse brain derived Japanese Enephilitis vaccine, now discontinued, caused symptoms years later. But prions were the cause, and those are slow acting. The new, safer vaccine is only recommended if you're going to

Ticks have always been around Ottawa, and even in 2011? I recall -40C for well over a week, and obviously cold temps around that week. Insects lay eggs, and also go dormant under fallen leaves typically. The snow + leaves insulates them, i

My parents used to have the TV on, blaring, all day long. The ads back then were loud too. They liked the "background noise". They'd read with it on, have conversations shouting over it, and so on. Baffled me. I often won

I guess in the interim, while they try to work it out, they'll just have to make sure it's quieter. Start at 1/4 the volume they use now. After all, they don't need to approach compliance tuning and debugging from the lo

Huh. You know, I wonder. The API provided to AI scripts must have enough info for limited strategies, but I've never seen what's what. You have. What are the possibilities for just giving Claude that each turn. Yes, insane ove

It's the same backend, so it's a bit like a fun theme difference. I played Dune2 first, and like RA too.

The load/save is what kills me. It's a great project, but having to wait 2 hours for a game to load, fans blaring on my laptop, makes it less playable. For context, I love huge, massive maps with loads of players. OpenRA replays

Next gen models are greatly aided by data obtained from existing model use. By restricting use, the outcome may be slower progress, thus narrowing the gap for other reasons.

Not an American, but I've wondered about increasing numbers myself. Certainly, giving each representative fewer citizens to represent could help. I worry about the size of the bodies, however. Too big, and they become less wieldy. M

Neat. Not precisely what I was thinking, but 100% definitely very cool and the same mental scope. It's like we wear different shoes, but go to the same cobbler. I can imagine shoe-horning* this so the agent saves prior builds of ever

I think they're definitely attention based. They're just immensely faster than LLMs, because a lot of processing is in silicon in a sense. Think of a ball flying towards you, you don't have to think, the data is handed to y
