They had a 2x usage cap promotion that was active after 2pm. They weren't saying that you shouldn't use Claude before 2pm.

I've experienced none of the problems I've seen people complaining about here (5x plan), Claude has been working pretty well and I've been using it constantly without exhausting any of my quotas. Yet, there must obviously be

Are these Iranian friends and their children the ones at risk the next time the US or Israel "accidentally" double taps civilian infrastructure? The regime will kill you/your loved ones and brand them as criminals if you prot

How does that justify threatening genocide and the end of their civilization? Having previously lived in Iran for 4 years, I know that the Iranian regime is very oppressive and cruel, but all the US has done is fuel them. They thought that

Insane reasoning after threatening genocide, the "no quarter" comment, previous bad faith negotiations, then further bombing the people trying to negotiate in previous attempts. This isn't just about the current regime wantin

What's so special about specifically the PhD student experience that isn't accessible once you have the PhD? My experience has been that research became much more fulfilling after finishing my PhD. I got more research independence

Ah, that's interesting. Different countries can be a fair reason I suppose.

Is there a reason you went for 3 PhDs? Especially since they're all in STEM? To me it's a red flag because the point of a PhD is to learn to do research, you don't need to get another one to move between fields (especially wi

I'm sorry he, his family and his community had to deal with this, no one should have to go through this kind of thing. I also think that he might've been able to reduce the odds of this happening by being a less awful human being.

This is a good point but I'd take it in the opposite direction from the implication, we should document which tools were used in general, it'd be a neat indicator of what people use.

Oh right, I forgot about that...

I feel like this is largely just what Musk/Zuck/Jeff's generation of rich fucks is like. Kind of like how the ones before them (Gates, Jobs etc) were more hated for being dirty/ruthless businessmen, but weren't know

Ever since the pivot to having SpaceX go public, claiming Mars plans would be taking a back seat, and burdening SpaceX with X, I am convinced it is just about fundraising. He broke pretty much every promise about SpaceX's long term amb

Yeah, similar situation for me. All the promises of an optimistic sci-fi future become hollow when one remembers that the person espousing them is openly and actively opposed to those optimistic ideals. Even just the disingenuous boosting o

I think it's important to consider that OpenAI's qualms weren't with making the dangerous models usable, they were with making the model usable without paying them. They're perfectly fine with any harm, as long as they g

They do tend to make a lot of noise about it for the PR, but at the same time the actual safety research they present seems to be relatively grounded in practical reality, e.g. the quote someone posted here about how the Mythos model appare

Maybe it's just because the specifics on FLOPs are more complicated, especially given how many different floating point formats are floating around in ML. Even NVIDIA has like 6 different FLOPs numbers on their GPUs nowadays.

You're the only person here invoking "special circuitry". All intelligence is a mix of both learned and biological factors. Plus one of the big ways we evaluate the intelligence of other species is trying to see if they have

Yes, that's a good point too, I never ended up buying any of my audiophile stuff from Drop because the stuff I was interested in was usually available with faster shipping from Amazon for either the same price or only a slight price in

IIRC threads that are just "yup, seeing this too" are not seen as being valuable here. There isn't (or at least wasn't) much discussion happening.

Here's hoping they can get it sorted quick. Hopefully these are just growing pains and not indicative of a GitHub style inability to achieve stability.

Drop/Massdrop had been on the way out for many years, I don't get the impression that they ever truly recovered from the transition away from the "group buy for anything" model. They were probably just barely kept afloat

The claim also just doesn't make a lot of sense. So, a king or doctor decided women in France should be made to give birth on their backs a couple hundred years ago. Even if we accept that this would've been enough for a complete

That's perhaps a fair angle, but not the direction I was leaning in.

I wonder how much of this is associated with Scam Altman's personal negative PR and Anthropic's recent PR wins. I'm inclined to think there isn't much of an association becauss investors don't seem very concerned wi

It's interesting to be arguing that gambling doesn't put others at risk in the comments to a post about a broad trend of collective harm associated with loosened controls on gambling. Do you think these people exist in a vacuum? O

by hgoel 7mo ago
That supposes that the events are decoupled from the bets, when we've already had several cases of people possibly betting on things they either have control over, or have insider info on. Plus, all of the reports of people being bet o

I guess you also think we need to stop policing drunk driving? Because the reasons for regulating gambling are similar.
