The problems with legs are sufficient that having two robots would be better than having one with legs. Here's why: - You can increase the payload a lot - You can increase the torso weight which means you can use cheaper, heavier compo

It is good to see someone finally working on one of these without the stupid legs (I think the legs are stupid because they give your robot the chance to fall over and are not relevant for most environments).

Non-western immigrants in the UAE are essentially enslaved. It is clearly in a camp which is separate from mere "strict immigration laws." The UAE and the US (as of the last year and a half) don't (just) have strict immigrati

I would say that #1 is almost self evidently true (I mean, obviously it's not because so many people disagree). It seems obvious to me that there is no moral reason that some people should only be allowed to live in certain places.

But what would it even mean for a model to actively work against you during training? It wouldn't have memory across multiple training steps.

How the hell would a model training run "defend against" this approach? What would that even mean?

Right, anti-competitive practices are where a business tries to limit competition. And dynamic pricing is anti-competitive because businesses are essentially algorithmically identifying customers whose business they don't need to compe

The issue is that consumers who can pick better stores will get better prices, while those that can't will get gouged. Imagine someone who works multiple jobs and only has time to shop at the grocery store closest to them. The algorith

The point of personalized pricing, which is what this bill addresses, is to identify consumers who won't shop around and give them higher prices. You can't compete that away because the consumers being hurt aren't sensitive t

Grocery stores have tiny margins and that's great. Let's keep it that way, it benefits all consumers. One way to prevent them from expanding their margins is to ban so-called "dynamic pricing".

I think there's more nuance to it. The real asset is the models that are being created. Imagine this world: the bubble "pops" in a couple years. The GPUs stick around for a few more years after that. At the end, we pretty muc

Is there any reason to think that freshly squeezed juice is chemically different from, for example, frozen juice concentrate?
