It is an asteroid redirect test . It has not been done before, so it is normal that unexpected consequences happen. It is very difficult to even get high resolution pictures of asteroids.

That sounds really scary. FWIW, cooking appliances are not allowed to be started remotely in Europe, presumably for this same reason.

The energy/environmental costs may be small compared to the potential usefulness of foundation models, but it's hard to make that assessment without data.

Both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have gotten considerably worse in quality for me since the May 24 update. Yesterday I asked GPT-4 to refactor some code I'd written in haste with a lot of duplication etc - a typically perfect task for a LLM -

This is rumoured to be possible with iOS 17 [1]. They just didn't announce it explicitly. [1] if you are in the EU :^)

That was the main thing I was looking for as well. They could have either owned it or what seems more likely, they will flip a flag for EU users in a few months.

Copilot X (the new version, with a chat interface etc) is significantly worse than GPT-4 (at least before this update). It felt like gpt3.5-turbo to me.

Putting some kind of solar shield in L1 seems like a credible way to reduce energy input into the atmosphere. However, it creates a big “single point of failure”. And it’s difficult to believe we can build something of the size they propose

No, at the level of knowing off hand the design considerations down to thermodynamics for practically every design decision that Tim asks about. In many cases to a much greater depth than I, an average engineer, know about these things.
