Not every country/airline has "rigorous pilot training and selection" -- US airlines require around 5x the number of flight hours as non-US. There are, generally, not enough pilots.

Given the other ways he's currently in conflict in FIDE, the idea is that he finds being disqualified in this way strategically useful, and a way to garner public sentiment that delegitimizes them.

There was no time shortage -- he was asked to change with hours to do it and a hotel that was three minutes away. He said he was refusing "as a matter of principle", not that he didn't have enough time to change.

Haven't LLMs simply obsoleted OpenCyc? What could introducing OpenCyc add to LLMs, and why wouldn't allowing the LLM to look up Wikipedia articles accomplish the same thing?

It would have been good to hear about whether there are still any mainstream computer platforms that ship with IOMMU off, since it is the mitigation here.

Any opinion on whether the q4 quantization is stable/effective? That's a lot of quantization. Edit: Perhaps answering my own question: λ ollama run hf.co/lmstudio-community/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M >>>

There isn't that much training data on reverse engineering Python bytecode, but in my experiments ChatGPT can reconstruct a (unique) Python function's source code from its bytecode with high accuracy. I think it's simulating

Wouldn't it be incredibly misleading to say you can interact with an LLM, when they really mean that you can lossy-compress it to like 25% size where it becomes way less useful and then interact with that? (Isn't that kind of like
