> "sounds" right This is how it actually works. The brain machine learns from available data and sorts out which is correct. "Sounds right" is the output from that neural network. The "rules" are then deriv

That's not additional information. It's a kind of codec for sure, but it's not magic information from nowhere. Like a compression algorithm.

Remember the body had 9 months to "learn" a bunch of stuff already.

It's the other way around: neither has "instincts". They might have built-in responses/patterns that are wired into the I/O path. Coughing, etc.

It's fine. But the whole drive can turn to dust at any time, of course.

Quick note to not store any valuable data on a single drive. And when you store it on two drives, don't use the same kind of drive. (Speaking from bitter experience using spinning drives in servers that had a firmware bug where they al

Quick reminder that DRAM futures have existed since the 1980s so you all could have protected your price with calls.

Same chips in both, made in the same fabs. Any relative price difference is like the difference between regular and premium gas/petrol.

Old enough here to remember Intel exiting the DRAM business.

Some have been saying this since MCP appeared.

> A person can be good at something and still be a lunatic or an asshole. There's a correlation. He's "successful" precisely because he's a lunatic/asshole.

In some cases the color was just a filter in front of a white phosphor screen.

Amber was fairly unusual. More common to see white or green.

For context: ramada 0.32.0 isn't a concrete thing, in the sense that glibc 2.35 is. It really means "the latest ramada code because if you were to pin on this version it'll at some point stop working". glibc 2.35 never s

You would need to hear the thoughts of those deep inside the intersection of money and money.

They can but that wasn't done in this case and isn't commonly done for various reasons.

Microsoft owns npmjs.com. They could pay for AI analysis of published version deltas, looking for backdoors and malware.

Here's the underlying problem: let's imagine someone very smart. They figure out a way to solve this problem. They are not going to make any money by doing so. That's why we have this problem.

I wouldn't look further than asking what happens currently in the processing of these messages. It might turn out for example that the minutes delay is deliberate: high frequency trading can become unstable more easily than low frequen

Not really because the money involved is relatively small. The bubble is where people are using D8s to push square kilometers of dirt around for data centers that need new nuclear power plants built, to house millions of obsolete Nvidia GPU

I just did the same thing with "very famous rock live acts performing within 500 miles of my location within the next 9 months". Whether this kind of functionality needs to be delivered via the browser I'm not sure. The LLM h

Obviously it's the sum of all training data, so comes from the available sources. Typically that would mostly be the mother but it depends.

Part of "socializing" is observing that one's parents aren't the absolute authority in the world. Parents sometimes butt heads with teachers, coaches etc. No home schooling scenario can provide this experience. I think i

Chemicals like this imho act like "global variables" for the neural network. Perhaps a bit like temperature in an LLM. They have an effect, but the effect is sort of holographic -- there's no way to predict/compute exact
