Is it just possible that your dating problems come from somewhere else? I personally haven't experienced the negative social consequences you're describing, but I'm also not dating in SF.

OK, I see, thanks. That applies to some skeptics, though - I'm in the AI skeptic camp but only in the sense that I believe we should make sober assessments of what these things are actually capable of.

Take your point, although > "The impact of AI is getting undeniable", so, the goalposts are "the impact of AI". Probably something like "the impact of AI is high, or will be soon". those are not goalposts -

You got me - I've been rumbled. Actually, I'm really an LLM and this whole thing was a clever bluff.

It's almost like I disagree with your use of the phrase in this context, rather than that I don't know the meaning of it.

If it seems like I don't understand the meaning of that very well-known phrase, then clearly I have failed to make my point. I'll try again. And please note that I will use some generalizations to make my point more clearly, rathe

Never understood all this talk about moving goalposts - you understand that's how science works, right? We improve, we learn, we recalibrate our expectations based on what we've learned. If we never "moved the goalposts"

> Viewing the continuance of our race as only the responsibility of parents is pathological. That's not what I said.

Sure, a parent can release their child into the wilderness and when they inevitably hurt themselves, shrug their shoulders and say it's the kids fault. That would still be a failure of parenting. Kids need varying levels of guidance un

Because raising children is unequivocally the parents' responsibility. It's, like, their main job.

HuggingFace doesn't have to be complicit in a lie here - the impressiveness or not of what actually happened rests entirely on OpenAIs report about it, doesn't it?

Why would a model have access to its own weights in any kind of uploadable format?

Flash memory generally doesn't have great lifespan for repeated writes; using it as a root device is going to kill it pretty quickly. I had a similar problem once running a NAS off a USB stick; within a year of so the stick would no lo

Do you mean that curious growth spike in mid 2020? If so, can you think of anything else significant that happened in mid 2020...?

They used to publish a regular torrent of everything, not sure if they still do that? Maybe you could grab yourself a copy for posterity.

Because it's convenient and solves a problem and there's nothing better available for sensible money - maybe better to ask why no-one seems able or willing to make a product like this that isn't garbage?

Why does it have to be one or the other? 7+ billion small actions add up; power plants and datacenters are still at least partly about fulfilling consumer demand. Or to put it another way - which of those things is under our control? If one

Indeed the fighting ended in an armistice so the war was never legally declared to be over. Visiting the DMZ between the countries is a surreal experience - part tense stand-off, part theme park.

"Radioactive Dust 5" doesn't have quite the same ring to it though

That's life I'm afraid - no system that rewards participation can be entirely free of people taking advantage of it somehow. It's an unavoidable cost that we pay to get the benefits. The best we can usually do is to incentivi

For many people and in many places, having a degree is a differentiator that increases someone's chance of being able to earn money. Not everyone is studying because they're interested, but rather because if they don't, their

Isn't it s/(s+g), where as you correctly say, g is legit account who want to buy? 1000 people want to buy a machine, 10 of them are scalpers, that's one percent on average? s = 10 and g = 990. I feel like I'm having a sl

He does figure briefly in the discussion at the end and doesn't qualify for the full treatment yet as he's a dictator-in-waiting. In any case what is there to say about McDonald's? The man is as boring and tasteless as he is

by danparsonson 4mo ago
I don't see a misrepresentation there - the need to eat and the love of good food is common to most of humanity and points to the fact that even dictators are also just people. Banal humans rather than cartoon villians. > Hard to re

You know that's true of most films, right? "Aging well" doesn't refer to howly closely it matched reality.

So many notifications - my life would be a mess without them :-) Thank you!

So you'd produce the code using Claude, and then use Claude to verify it? Would you accept my review of my own code?
