My 2012 Leaf is amazing. It has sadly lost a lot of battery capacity, and I think there is something funny going on with the brakes, but it is still a great car. Just can't go very far anymore. But I only drive it around my small town

Pretty bad for the rest of us, but not bad for the people in government who want plausible deniability for actions taken by the espionage services. I would assume that every government has this, at least to some extent, don't you think

I am not a coffee historian or even very knowledgable, but I thought that light roasting is the more traditional (even ancient) way of making coffee and that the roasting has gotten darker over time. Not so?

But why shouldn't we expect to be able to work for one company and earn a gold watch (at some anniversary date, I guess?) and a pension? It used to work that way. Why not now? It worked that way for my grandpa. It looked like it was go

Serif fonts read fine on any screen with at least a pixel density of Apple's Retina displays. Subjective preferences are another matter, of course. I prefer serifs even on worse displays, because my brain decodes them better. And I wil

A language model being able to do something that rarely has to be done in the first place within milliseconds or less that would take a human a minute to do just does not seem that impressive. (I tried it without reading any of these commen

My goto folder name when I don't know what to name it is temp. I have so many temp folders around. Never seem to get around to renaming them something more meaningful.

A more pressing reformulation might be, has a corporation ever explicitly tried not to commit genocide? Google, maybe, until they dropped the "don't be evil" catchphrase? Many, maybe even most, governments could commit genoci

The error was that somewhere along the way between Aristotle and modern times, humans went from being seen as rationally-capable to rationally-driven. Nobody seriously disputes that we are capable of rationality; it is just that we are stil

No, I do not think a transformer architecture in a statistical language model has thoughts. It was just a joke. At the same time, the original question was how can something that is forced to be polite engage in the genocide of humanity, an

Seems like spam was a much bigger problem before SPF/dkim/dmarc when you didn't have to put your own domain on the line in order to send spam. I bet authentication methods have more to do with the drop off in spam than filter
