Even Sonnet does that if you gently prompt it to.

The Turso example is a little ironic because their homepage brands them as a product intended for use primarily by AI agents.

...I think we have plenty of evidence of that

Well yeah, but that's the point of the whole unitary executive thing. Thete are quick cash grabs happening all over the place of course, but they are also setting up for a long-term systemization of corruption, backed by a radicalized

It's worth keeping in mind the broader context here politically. The president and his cabinet are generally pursuing policies of a strong unitary executive branch that centralizes "technocratic" functions under the control o

That's often how regulatory capture works. It seems bad for the incumbents, but it's worse for any future competitor. As long as the cost of complying with the regulation is less than your expected loss from competition entering

Isn't this also true of a lot of FOSS software and libraries? tensorflow and pytorch for example, among many others.

The scale and distances of migrations throughout Europe in the 4th-5th centuries are hard to comprehend, as well as the rapid transformation of the societies of the groups that migrated. It has the same feel to me as a major geological even

I don't think they implied that those inputs are the intangibles, only that the functional form assumption in the 2018 paper is unrealistic.

Is "overhead" a euphemism for administrator salaries?

by gwerbin 4mo ago
Isn't this true in a lot of situations? Basically anytime maximum production capacity of an input is limited, or scale-up time is very long, firms are large relative to the supply so they are not price takers.

There are also "semantic" diff and merge tools for a variety of languages, and a few specialized for JSON. That stuff was always pretty niche, but it's becoming more popular with AI agents and not wanting to or not being able

MS Word can be a surprisingly good and powerful type setting system if you use its fancier features correctly, like named styles. I used to have a Latex resume and switched to LibreOffice several years ago. It gives me more than enough prec

I fully 100% agree with this, but in this case I don't think there is much consideration for the education system one way or another. I'm not saying it's not happening, I just think it's a distinct project, carried out

Congress could stop it right now if they wanted to. They don't want to stop it. Authoritarian government requires a strong executive and a weak legislature.

It's not an ideological goal, it's a profit goal. Ideology is just part of the propaganda engine. Isn't it funny how conservatism always seems to benefit big business? Have you ever noticed how quiet conservative politicians

by gwerbin 4mo ago
Well the majority party in Congress could put a stop to it at any time. The fact that they don't, and haven't just on about any related issue, tells you everything you need to know. They just don't want to put their names on

None of it is under the radar anymore, they have a radicalized supporter base and increasingly dictatorial control over the basic functioning of government. Subtlety is no longer necessary under those conditions.

And if they do accidentally destroy something that they want, it can be rebuilt by a private contractor friendly to the administration.

It's not even about an uneducated population. It's about preventing research that might be inconvenient politically. Ocean sensors provide evidence of climate change and the current political agenda is to suppress evidence of clim

Do you think the choice of quantization matters that much for other models? I've seen a lot of discussion about different quantization and FP formats but I feel totally unequipped to make an informed decision about what to try. What&#x

Yeah but the price for, say, private email is a lot less.

I've noticed the same about the edit tool, in both Gemma and Qwen. Maybe I'm not running them with the right sampler settings, but I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one. Lots of mismatched whitespace and stuff, the mode

And if I'm writing a script to query the Google Maps API then I really don't want to have to think about registers at all. Maybe "high-level"" low level" should be understood in terms relative to the task and i

I've genuinely had this problem in teams as small as 3 and it's a genuine headache. It's even a problem when you're working solo ! What I want is a comparison with other improved diff/merge drivers like difftastic&

This is literally what I'm arguing against. 1) the genetic lineage predates the modern concept of a region called Palestine, and this argument is ridiculous because if I marry a Palestinian woman and have a kid, you're saying my k

Yes that's why I brought it up. There's actually a substantially better argument for Hawaii because the USA just showed up and conquered the kingdom that was there. Whereas the Ottomans had Palestine for what, 500 years?
