Could you clarify further? "Sane" is very subjectively defined.

Direct cash injection is frequently the worst way to do this, so I don't think that failure is particularly indicative of a complete inability to achieve onshoring of manufacturing. Tariffs certainly seem superior to me, especially if

It's a key component of communism when that one party is a communist party. It is definitely not "name only" (the claim to which I was replying). I would agree that Vietnam is probably less communist than China. That doesn&

It is still very much a one-party state, which is a key component of communism. Same as Vietnam.

If tariffs don't bring domestic manufacturing back, what will?

Being far-right is not what made /b/ a wasteland, so that doesn't surprise me at all.

It took actions based on the emotional / political whims of various random people though, right? Maybe not from a single megalomaniacal ruler, but that seems like a distinction without a difference.

And that doesn't apply to the powers that be at other social networks (or management at Twitter pre-Elon)?

They go into a good amount of detail[1] as to what they mean by "immediate mode" (this is linked from one of the windows when you open the page). [1] https://github.com/emilk/egui#why-immediate-mode

Because nobody championed another language for the browser. Good news is we have WASM now, so you can write backend and frontend code in basically whatever language you want.

by fastball 2y ago
Using the same language to write your frontend and backend is desirable for many people / teams.

Yes, that is the point being made.

Don't forget Jeff Bezos – he took 80k/year the whole time he was CEO of Amazon.

Sorry I wore you out, glad you were able to find the strength the post three comments afterwards.

I didn't say "its gas chambers or its no big deal", those are words you put in my mouth. Rather, I made the point (with an example) that the actual actions being taken matter, you can't just say "innocents are dying

How many non-combatants have died due to being killed deliberately, and how many have died due to being collateral damage in a warzone? I believe the distinction and ratio between the two things is very important when trying to determine th

You keep conflating Hamas with Palestinians. It seems deliberate. I for one do not think they are the same thing, but if you do I'm not sure this conversation can go anywhere. I am also unsure why you think you should be able to speak

Did you actually read what I wrote? I completely agree that genocide is a matter of intent. That is why my comment was about intent , not about scale. in fact I specifically said Israel is killing too many non-combatants, indicating the sc

Genocide is an attempt to eradicate a group. The only group Israel is trying to eradicate is Hamas. They're not genociding Palestinians, they're genociding Hamas. Are they killing an excessive number of civilians as collateral dam

The models you've interacted with have guardrails. If you fine-tuned an LLM with the goal of "convince people you are human" (effectively the opposite of what the major players are doing with their fine-tunes), I am very conf

It is fairly clear to me that self-learning is already possible. Give an agentic LLM the ability to add things to its own context window, or fine tune itself, and it will.

Politically anything can happen. Maybe the billionaire class controls everything with an army of robots and it's a horrible prison-like dystopia, or maybe we end up in a post-scarcity utopia a la The Culture. Regardless, once we have A

What is your personal benchmark for AGI? Turing test was surpassed years ago, ARC-AGI was a next step some quite clever people in the space came up with as a successor, and has now surpassed as well. So what is your benchmark?

Exactly. I actually checked, and there are three apps on my phone that don't support the "seamlessly pick a photo to use without granting extended access to some or all photos" API: WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.

Does that matter? If it is a lossless format, you can always convert it to another one after capture.

Apple Watch now has irregular rhythm notifications[1] which can help alert you to signs that you will soon have a heart attack. [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/120276

I know that one of the few apps on my phone which doesn't use Apple's newer photo access API (which only shares the photos you pick with Apple by default) is not used by WhatsApp, even though it is available.
