There are lots of socialist countries in the world that are doing fine.

I think kids have a right to be exposed to these ideas. Stratifying society even further, only exposing select sections of the population to advanced ideas in philosophy or science, will not help build a solid democratic society.

Current AI datacenter/model development investment rate is roughly 1T/year. That's a lot. But the US economy is 33T/year. So the investment pays back (roughly) over ten years if, each year, the AI investments increase ov

There's always existed misinformation in text and in images. It's been possible to manipulate photographs for as long as photography has been around. It's becoming easier for sure, but it's not really a qualitative chang

8 billion checks per day sounds on the low end. I can imagine it being ten or hundred times more. That still seem pretty fine though. On the other hand, it's hard to see that such a modest energy cost would dissuade any attacks.

Interesting, thanks!

All agents have some basic tool capabilities, I meant using tools such as curl or python etc to access an api, the same way a human would.

Seems to me that you're saying the MCP is a simplified API with good documentation geared towards agents. But if that's the case, could you not exposes the simplified interface as part of the API, instead of exposing it in MCP?

But what is the advantage of MCP compared to having the agents access the API directly?

What advantage did you find in MCP vs a traditional API?

I don't think that's correct. DuckDB already supports concurrent writes within one process. I don't see why this would suddenly serialize all writes.

Agreed, that does seem a bit underwhelming. Hopefully there are some performance gains to be made before the production release in september.

They mention in the benchmarks section that the network they're on is a "up to" 15 Gbps connection. So to max out 50GB/s is not realistic. I agree they should have also listed the compressed size of the table instead of

This is true in my experience as well. I'd even say it's the most common failure mode of current AI! It "fixes" some problem locally and declares victory, but it doesn't fully address the consequences of the change

I don't think there's much chance it gets merged. Even if it passed the full test suite there are a ton of software qualities that are not captured by tests and I think it's unlikely the AI made the right trade-off in every s

I don't think that matches archeological findings. From what I understand the reason neanderthals are understood to have been less intelligent than sapiens is because neanderthal tools found are cruder than sapien tools from around the

Afghanistan was a 20 year long war. It was more costly in terms of troops, material etc. Why would ending the war mean handing the world to the Iranian regime? That seems exaggerated. The iranians will charge a small toll for oil passing Ho

Pakistan are the mediators, why would they lie about the explicit terms of the agreement? They would immediately loose all trust if they did.

by geysersam 6mo ago
They can. It would be a defeat, but at least it would be a less costly defeat than Afghanistan.

Open models are good but if you need a $10k GPU to run them then 99% of people are better of subscribing to OAI or CC. Nowadays I also feel model performance matters less than the design of the tool harness, inference speed, and the other s

People file tickets against closed source "black box" systems all the time. You could just as well say: Stop using MS SQL, just use a different tool, it's not that hard.

I'm a bit torn on this. The world changes and education needs to evolve with it. There was a time when recitation was considered a critical part of education. I'm sure there's a ton of cognitive development to be had by learn

In this case it's the system that's at fault. No mid level bureaucracy decided to ask disabled people to prove their disability again and again, that's clearly a political directive.

It's a big difference. There's vastly less chance someone manages to expose state secrets through their bets on oil futures. The volume is higher, and the prediction is less specific.

There's also such a thing as being too ambitious. 99% of developers can not rewrite SQLite in rust even if they spent the rest or their lifetime doing it. Expecting an AI do to a good job vibe-coding a Sqllite clone over a few weekends

So other parts of the government are allowed to work with companies that have been determined to be "supply chain risks"? That sounds unlikely.
