If you’re talking about taxpayer money and you’re in the United States, maybe a better starting point is the ‘jobs program’ they’re running for military personnel

Lots of science is impossible to test practically for hundreds of years before it is actually experimentally verified

> this whole field is starting to feel more like a jobs program for mathematicians out of new ideas. So sick of seeing phrases like this. Science is not business. It is not about producing results that you personally think are important.

Highly recommend just dropping Ollama. You can download binary releases of llama.cpp for every platform and run them trivially in 5 seconds. Ollama serves no purpose other than to take open source work and rebadge as its own, while providin

Probably one of the funniest things to read on a site like this, when you consider that eg. Boolean algebra was entirely abstract and had little practical purpose for almost 100 years until Shannon picked it up for use in circuits

I imagine a lot of people are happy to just have access to medical care that doesn’t bankrupt them to be honest. Especially if they have children with medical conditions, or chronic conditions of their own etc.

I feel like the moment for typescript taking over has come and gone. It also became way more complicated than necessary and that limits its appeal compared to python (not to say python doesn’t have problems of its own)

But you’re saying there’s no evidence of a burial and they explicitly state that it was deliberately buried, and there are multiple other factors that indicate human involvement

What you’re quoting does not contradict their actual conclusion, which is the first paragraph I quoted

The model doing it one shot does not mean they only attempted it once though. They could have tried and retried a ‘one-shot’ answer hundreds of times before it produced a workable result

I would like to try this, but would strongly prefer a demo on Steam that starts and runs fullscreen rather than playing it in the browser. Can obviously fullscreen a browser tab etc - just that, playing it in the browser has a sense of impe

How/why should we know this, it does not explain the process in the text?

Would be interesting to know what kind of preparatory work actually went into this - how long did it take to construct an input that produced a real result, and how much input did they get from actual mathematicians to guide refining it

For people outside the UK: this person is not really credible. She is an incompetent moron that is desperate for any coverage, especially if it helps get attention for Reform, the party she defected to (this is not defending the act, just t

Flatcar (that it is based on) is designed to only run containers. So you don’t install any tools via a package manager, you would pull containers to do the work. You can do one-off configuration by writing scripts to run when the machine fi

Even if this is true: Microsoft own an entire cloud platform. They have enormous codebases of their own and they employ ~200k people. It’s just not an excuse, especially because they consciously made decisions such as e.g. private repositor

This made me realise they’re doing the same thing the AI labs are doing: selling both the problem and the solution. They are arming spammers and scammers with these tools so you need their product to protect yourself from them

I see the ‘not a security boundary’ thing repeated constantly, and while it makes sense (eg. they’re sharing the underlying kernel or at least some access to it) if you think about it a little more, VMs are not magically different: they are

There is an addendum at the bottom where they admit the page corruption is still problematic even with rootless podman. Although using this to justify their migration to micro-VMs is very strange to me. Sure for this CVE it would have been
