I know it comes off as pedantic to point this out but: Those are open weight models not open source models. Closed weight models are the equivalent of SaaS. Open weight models are the equivalent of binary driver blobs or Windows software. W

Models not being able to reliably know if they are out of their depth is a foundational limitation of the currently generation of models, though. Best they can do is to somewhat reliably react to objective signals that they've failed a

I believe they're referring to the fact that if almost all of your code is written by junior developers without mentorship, you will end up wasting a lot of your development budget because your codebase is a mess.

They kind of actually are, though. Not because they use CSV's but because, as an industry, they have not figured out how to reliably create, exchange, and parse well-formed CSV's.

It depends. On its own, UBI puts a downward pressure on the value of money. Some other things (e.g. setting low interest rates) also put a downward pressure on the value of money. However, some things (e.g. taxes) put an upward pressure o

Yep. It's the difference between "Don't do these things, regardless of what the law says." and "Do whatever you want, but please follow your own laws while you do it". As Paul Graham said, "Sam gets what h

I don't think any business can survive being told that they can't buy from their major suppliers or sell to major customers for very long.

As you said: focus on what it does . What it does is prevent companies that Anthropic needs to do business with from doing business with Anthropic.

It is in the specific case that you don't have biometric or PIN login set up on the device and you use a password manager that doesn't require authentication. In that case, the only factor is "something you have". Otherw

Good point. Perhaps if you take them for 40 years, you become biologically immortal. Who can really say?

Having AI spew it might suffer from the fact that the spew itself is influenced by AI's weights. I think your best bet would be to use a new human-authored work that was released after the model's context cutoff.

And of course the benchmarks are from the school of "It's better to have a bad metric than no metric", so there really isn't any way to falsify anyone's opinions...

If not for the tariffs, the domestic company would have to charge lower prices to make sales. Thus tariffs provide domestic companies with additional revenue from domestic consumers.

The point is that before walled-garden app stores, that was how pretty much every normal person installed software on their PC's. Using the term "sideloading" for that is a clever invention to try and retroactively rebrand wh

The EU hate GrapheneOS. They chased them out to Canada just last year because they didn't want to put in backdoors for law enforcement.

Any expression-value can be a function, if you simply define the meaning of applying the the expression-value to another expression-value to be something compatible with your definition of a function.

Nit: If predators periodically make their way to the islands without human assistance, don't the islands have native predators, by virtue of how we've woven ourselves into the definitions?

They get less hot (especially the network adapters on the ends of them), can go a lot further, can be a lot denser (including being able to carry things other than Ethernet in the same bundle), and are a lot more future-proof (unless the ca

I think it's definitely a clear definition of what you're doing, but I still take some issue with the framing of "UI pixels". I would argue that it's more like abstract "UI distance units." Most UI's

Given that there isn't any objective basis for the default scaling factor of a monitor being what we call 1x, I would argue that 2x scaling isn't any less native than 1x

I don't think that's allowed under the terms of the x86/x86_64 cross-license deal with AMD. That's why, for example, any meaningful collaboration between Intel and Nvidia under this partnership has to be released in the

That's a thing on ARM. See: ARM SystemReady. Unfortunately, the adoption has been very slow going because ARM SOC vendors are set in their ways.

They also do a really sloppy job of marking why packages were installed in the initial installation media... A bunch of packages that are not critical get marked as manually installed (so they don't go away if you remove the things tha
