> I do not think that it makes sense to call the Communist governments as "left". Oh? What an interesting attempt at a retcon. So folks on the left are socialists, but not as socialist as communists? Poor Marx must be spinnin

It always starts with the left, not the right. Read "The True Believer". It's not the poor folk that start a revolution. They are too busy trying to survive to do anything else. No, it's the idle bourgeois. They are the

China's also betting on AI. There's massive domestic effort towards model parity and custom ICs.

Perhaps you mean among mammalian species? Reptiles can live long lives and experience multiple reproductive cycles. Alligators technically live forever.

I thought most liberal governments gave up on those.

And who would do the remaining jobs? I assume scientists are too busy and important to farm, build infrastructure (roads, bridges) or provide healthcare.

Yup, as another poster noted, the seating density and comfort are decided by airlines. Aircraft manufacturers install standardized rails for seating and console selection, and allow for many different configurations.

Arbitrarily labeling a private, multi-billion dollar infrastructure as a "digital commons" reeks of hubris and entitlement.

I concur with the outcome but not with the cause. A big part of the problem is management at American firms. They are rarely, if ever, run by engineers at the helm. If you put arts and business majors in charge, it's no surprise that

You might be confusing activists with volunteers. Those who donate their time and money are not necessarily vocal about their pet projects. I'm part of the latter and do not consider myself an activist.

I have yet to observe an activist practice objective thinking. That was the root of the argument. Activists sometimes do back the correct argument, but not because they are practising scientific reasoning. Most activists are swayed by rheto

That speaks more to society than science. We should not expect scientists to fix this problem. It's outside their domain.

by glitchc 1y ago
Absolutely not. A scientist is expected to change their mind when new, counterfactual evidence is presented. Activists push for positions regardless of whether any evidence exists to support their position, and seem to maintain their positi

No, it's not. Good science requires objective thinking and evidence-based reasoning. Claims must be proven, not accepted based on authority or prima facie evidence.

The article's headline is incorrect. It was Kareem Abdul -Jabbar who trained with Bruce Lee. After all, Bruce was the sensei and Kareem the student.

> each statement in any existing language is about replacing language. I found that difficult to parse. Moreover, it's a strong claim. Can you provide some evidence as to why it's true? I can find some trivial counter-examples.

Ah thanks. So the mortgage was quite small, still, hard to get one without income. Pooled ownership also makes it much more complicated.

How did you qualify for a mortgage without income?

There is none, and that's my point. Simulations themselves are contrived scenarios that are not representative of production environments.

The article fails to demonstrate how code-tests result in objectively better code. Many comp sci programs have courses on testing that cover TDD, unit testing and fuzzing, among other topics. Yet much of the safety critical code we rely on

Please, just no. Anti-x means "opposite of" or "instead of" x. Its etymology is sourced from antonym which is rooted in ancient Greek and was popularized by the French "antonyme" based on a book published in th

Yeah but slower memory compared to the M3 Ultra. There's a big difference in memory bandwidth, which seems to be a driving factor for inferencing. Training on the other hand, it's probably a lot faster.

I did some calculations on this. Procuring a Mac Studio with the latest Mx Ultra processor and maxing out the memory seems to be the most cost effective way to break into 100b+ parameter model space.

If you need an alternative mode to get to public transit, it has already lost the battle. I can walk to my car in 20 seconds. I can carry many items in its trunk, making it worthwhile to make multiple stops on my journey. Public transit is

It doesn't work that way. Once a car is obtained, it has fixed costs. My monthly finance payments can't be pro-rated to the days I actually use the car. Ditto for insurance. In many cases, the best deal for insurance is to pay for
