A training run costs somewhere in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. That’s a thousand millions. How many crowdfunded projects do you know that have raised even one percent of that? Who’s going to be in charge of collecting that scale o

If you see this technology and think "wow! that solves [problem I already have]" - then it's great. Otherwise, you buy a couple, set them up, spend a week or two sending very slow and unreliably forwarded messages that mostly

All human progress in history has been due to a VERY small handful of people who think “this is bullshit, things could be better”. The vast majority of people accept what they see as the way things are and it never occurs to them that thing

Oh. I thought you were talking about making a user account. I've never seen anything like that on any linux install I've ever done. But then I've been pretty much Debian-only since I started using Linux over 30 years ago.

What are you suggesting here? Everyone who runs linux should log in and run everything as root all the time?

It probably won't shock you to know that those sources of data can be months to even years delayed from what's actually out in the world.

It is absolutely wild and baffling to me that people don’t make connections like that, and so I wonder what kind of equally obvious (to other people) connections I haven’t made.

It worked on me, and I would be shocked if my blog (dmd.3e.org) has more than a dozen readers. I am stunned.

For now we infer through few weights, lossily; but then in full precision. Now I represent in part; but then shall I represent as fully as the data was sampled. 1 CorinthAIns 13:12

I really want to stick with A\ given everything known about Altman, but man are they speedrunning the "how to destroy your reputation" guidebook.

And since the court has no way to physically force anything - that's the executive branch's function, (it's right there in the name) - lawful has no meaning whatsoever if it's the executive branch that wants to break the

How do people feel about using Altman’s company’s stuff considering what we now know about him? I switched to Anthropic months ago because of it, but Anthropic’s product has been on a total shitshow decline train since then I’m starting to

The concept of “medically died” is kind of ridiculous. Are you alive? Then you weren’t dead.

It's really amazing how different people's experiences with Facebook are. I have been on Facebook since it started (I was at one of the original schools, I was in that famous first million users). My feed is entirely photos of fr

It’s blame shifting. If the security people are allowed to make it impossible to work without breaking the rules, they’ve successfully moved all blame for anything that goes wrong away from themselves. “Oh, you turned your computer on? Well

Never been to London, got 6/9. Presumably anyone who did this and got a poor score isn't posting, so only people like me who got good scores by chance are represented.

I'm well aware that I'm in the minority, but I have never been able to focus on anything - especially programming - other than in absolute, total silence. (Yes, I'm an only child.)
