We are also in delicate peace negotiations with Ukraine right now, but we still put import taxes on them. If you think that the administration would put more import taxes on Russia after the negotiations are done, then at least you're

> To them, it doesn't even matter if things get "worse" for a while. Their life is already meeting every economic headwind imaginable. Really? How do you even know that? You think another round of price hikes within the ye

That makes no difference to who should get tariffs by the administration's own logic. They're cozying up to Russia. No other explanation is feasible.

Why do you think top upvoted posts have to be a 1:1 correlation of value? If you look at the most watched videos on youtube, the most popular movies, or sorted by top of all time on subreddits, the only correlation is that people liked them

Radioactive isotopes in nuclear fuel: do not ingest. Radioactive isotopes in banana: consume away. Understand now? I'm not even defending anything other than how two things that vaguely appear contradictory, are in fact, not.

Are you in the process of creating tasks that behave as an acid test for AGI? If not, do you think such a task is feasible? I read somewhere in the ARC blog that they define AGI as when creating tasks that is hard for AI but easy for humans

You're right, oops. I agree with your reasoning (comment still gives off slop vibes but that's unprovable). But the parent has been flagged, so I'm not sure if that means admins/dang has agreed with me or if it was flagg

This is not accusatory, but do you write your comments with AI? I checked your profile and someone else had the same question a few days ago. It's the persistent structure of "it isn't X – it's Y" with the em dash (

The last section, "Checked bending of the rules" seems pretty similar to C++ contracts[0], though the behavior on violations looks like it will be able to vary wildly between consteval and regular contexts, and whether it terminat

The Gemini launch was a complete disaster, but technically speaking since February 2024, Gemini 1.5 pro and the ensuing lineup have been very impressive.

That makes sense. I know youtube has added channel memberships as a built-in now, but it doesn't seem easy to toss a one-time payment outside of livestream superchats. And even that isn't particularly use based.

Yeah that's true. I was arguing with people about this in secondary school for what it's worth, all the while getting what I would call misfitting undergarment ads. Would you elaborate on what you mean by friction with micro trans

Yep, I used to advocate against using adblock on youtube. Seriously. My original logic may not have been sound (ads support the platform, indirectly the creator[0]), but I would absolutely never make that argument today. The decline in us

GPT-1 was released 7 years ago, but ok. You really think GPT-4 to o1 is increasingly logarithmic the same way 4 to 4o is?

Yep, messaged received. Ted is still vaguely popular with a lot of people in my experience.

Every time I've read about an opportunity for universal healthcare to be passed, something apparently insurmountable always crops up. I was too young during the Obama debates to read about this, but I read more about it a decade after.

This is very informative, thank you. I've always been curious exactly what went wrong with the hostage situation, and this seems like reasonable analysis to me.

I actually think the Green New Deal (aka Inflation Reduction Act), CHIPS Act, and the extra $500B in infrastructure spending totalled together probably overtake the strategic importance of something like the ACA. But to each their own, most

A lot of moderate power users are running an undervolted used pair of 3090s on a 1000-1200W psu. 48 GB of vram let's you run 70B models at Q4 with 16k context. If you use speculative decoding (a small model generates tokens verified by

After Ted Kennedy killed a woman[1], he never should've tried to run for president. And I say that as a Cape Cod native. When he finally died in 2009 he was literally replaced in the Senate by a Republican, throwing the Democrats into

Jimmy Carter feels very likely to be the last "normal person" who will ever be elected president. That doesn't absolve his presidency of mistakes obviously, but if you run through the list of presidents since him, the vibes p

Hmm the link is saying the price of an LLM that scores 42 or above on MMLU has dropped 100x in 2 years, equating gpt 3.5 and llama 3.2 3B. In my opinion gpt 3.5 was significantly better than llama 3B, and certainly much better than the also

This argument can be extended downwards infinitely. You can argue against teaching addition and writing of any form with this mindset. I also think this argument means that theoretically someone with a 6th grade education and a 12th grade e

Unrelated to the cheating part, if you don't see American colleges primarily as a path to economic stability, I think you are probably either rich that it doesn't matter or haven't seen the bottom 25% outcomes of college grad

I've noticed this too, it's extremely prominent to me and I'm not sure why it's not discussed frequently.

This is what other replies are missing - I've been following AI closely since GPT 2 and it's not immediately clear what agentic means, so to other people, the term must be even less clear. Using the word autonomous can't be w

David Mayer also shares the name of some terrorist apparently [1]. Other models don't censor his name either. You also get the same refusal with Johnathan Turly. The part about this which is weird is it's not like GPT would have a

Transformers absolutely do not run in constant time by any reasonable definition, no matter what your point is.
