Yeah, if models become commoditised then what remains valuable is proprietary data. Smart move by Reuters. Not sure if it is quite frontier level, the comparisons are to opus/GPT 5.5.

But somebody who comes into a country must know where they come from! So you can just ask them. If they refuse to say, then that seems like a them problem, no? I don’t know what proportion of gypsies are literally stateless… though like you

Actually Apple will also put advertising on your phone if you have one of the dynamic carousel things and you walk into the wrong area.

Seems like there's a big attack-defence asymmetry at present: models are great at exploiting systems and poor at fixing them.

That's impressive... how long did it take you? How much did you have to check the model's work? What frameworks did you use?

Being literally stateless is not the same as not having a passport. (My father-in-law doesn't have one, but he's a perfectly respectable citizen!) Being in a foreign country without a passport is also not being stateless - it may

The Nazis are defined by their ideology. Gypsies are an ethnicity; judging them all by the actions of some is unfair. That doesn't mean you can't ever criticize another culture. But it does seem obvious that crimes committed by

Presumably, if they are immigrants, then they have a passport and a legal home country. I agree with you that mass deportation (i.e. deportation of a whole group not based on individual guilt or innocence) is bad. Just saying that this part

OK. But then the answer to your initial question would be "deported to their home countries".

I don't think most gypsies are stateless.

There’s lots of evidence for costly signalling across multiple domains! For this specific case, I can’t be certain about any individual’s motivation, of course - I simply raised the possibility and pointed out why it would be a bad idea to

The original is οινοπα ποντον which indeed is very close to wine-dark sea. Literally "wine-faced" where -faced is a metaphor for "having the appearance of".

If people are systematically more likely to be in area X, that may be because they are systematically more likely to make the relevant choices - for example because they are under different constraints or have different preferences. Choice

one thing I didn't understand. If the conjecture is false for real numbers, why isn't it false for complex numbers too? Why can't you just take a real number counterexample and use it for complex numbers? I guess the answer i

I think you've misunderstood my comment. I understand that people can do things together. My point was that the best thing to do together is to solve our problems at lowest total cost, and that choosing a high-cost solution can be indi

I hope I'm not overinterpreting, but I get the sense that you think that's morally better than simply avoiding contrails. If so then this is surely a mistake! While an individual who imposes heavy costs on himself to do something

I can't speak to dinosaur people, but the population genetics of our own DNA reveals that there were never many humans on the planet till recently, so that rules out any very large human civilization. (Unless they genetically altered t

You're welcome to speak up, but saying models haven't meaningfully improved in three years, when the most recent models are solving top-level frontier maths problems, is indeed going to strike most people as weird. I still have no

I'd also like to see a (kind of) opposite approach: a fork of zig using only AI contributions. This is more as conceptual art or an experiment, rather than because I strongly support AI. But it would be fun to see how the two project

Seems like the major step forward is that the buildings on some designs are real buildings, not just imaginary ones. On the other hand, it's a shame to just use EU buildings! Those may be fine, but they are hardly the most inspiring pa

I've had a checkup with the NHS once or maybe twice in my life, and it was not with a doctor. (I'm not saying that it should be, maybe a nurse and a blood pressure check is all you need?)

I would really like this, but using academic reading lists instead of prizes. What are the important historians of (e.g.) medieval Italy?
