I don’t believe you.

How?

Yes, I think the scale that the LLMs operate at makes them interesting and different more than anything else. It's not really a new idea. There's a theory going back decades that consciousness is an emergent property and that if w

I don't consider that a knowledge model. (Does a calculator have a knowledge model of multiplication?) But I agree that it's something more than Markov chains. I think maybe the scale of these LLMs makes them into something new. M

The carmakers are unfortunately well aware that they can mine and sell data. They just suck at it.

The carriers were probably right to be concerned. They used to be the ones with the ability to charge an "app store tax"

Rumor I heard at the time is Apple went to Verizon first but Apple insisted no one see the phone until shortly before launch and Verizon balked.

I agree that a car is on a different scale, but I think it's only in hindsight that a phone is obviously just a computer and that the user interface is important part.

To be fair, that was what a lot of people thought about Apple making a cell phone. That they'd never compete with Nokia or Motorola and that US carriers would never give them enough control.

It’s a map of where they offer service. There is no substantive privacy concern.

Using a convenient bank is more important than squeezing a few more basis points in yield.

I wonder if the smaller number of reports for Verizon and T-Mobile is from people on those carriers trying to call or text someone at AT&T

Discretion about whether or not to protect a citizen?

This is a silly argument that could be deployed against ever trying to regulate anything. Of course the government can't mandate perfect security. There's no such thing as perfect security. The goal is cars that are harder to st

These cars are being sold with defective security measures. They don't work the way manufactures promise or customers expect. It shouldn't be any different than a car sold with headlights that are too dim

It’s in Article III. There’s debate as to where the line is for something to be a “controversy” but there’s no debate that there is a line.

Partisan politics, mostly. It was a Biden campaign promise. The party allegedly harmed, MOHELA, didn’t think they were harmed and didn’t want to participate in the case. The court let the state of Missouri stand in for them even though it’s

I see no reason to believe that. There is a law. It authorized the education dept to “waive or modify” loan provisions. But somehow the court ruled that that means only minor changes are permitted. Obviously this isn’t what Congress intende

Yeah that’s not how human rights are supposed to work

by eli 3y ago
Sorry but this is just plain wrong. Congress authorized the secretary of education to waive or modify any loan provision. If you are concerned about the rule of law you should be upset that the Supreme Court even heard a case so obviously l

Who said anything about Roe? The student debt case: perfectly clear law passed by Congress and overturned by SCOTUS in very tenuous grounds with a plaintiff that never even had proper standing.
384.
by eli 3y ago
SCOTUS strikes them down anyway if they don’t like them. And we all know Congress is broken. It cannot possibly make the decisions currently delegated to agencies.

Sure plenty of automated tools do that.

What would be an example? Like you invent a new compression algorithm and nobody else should be able to use it for a year or two?

With all due respect, maybe you should read the report. The 137 facilities they are talking about use an 2.3% of US electricity when run at capacity. Separately they use CEBCI data to come up with a top-down estimate of bitcoin mining at 0.

Plenty of people think the data centers for AWS are bad.

1. There's no need to compare to traditional banking. 2% of all US power is a lot -- the comparison is to all other uses of electricity . (But per-transaction traditional banking is orders of magnitude more efficient.) 2. "I have
